Trapezoid ligament of coracoclavicular ligament
The suprascapular notch is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament (15).
The conoid (1) and trapezoid (20) ligaments together form the coracoclavicular ligament, which attaches the coracoid process of the scapula to the under-surface of the lateral end of the clavicle.
The coracoacromial ligament (2) passes between the coracoid process and the acromion, forming with these bony processes an arch above the shoulder joint.

Triceps
Abductor pollicis longus (1) and extensor pollicis brevis (8) are the only two muscles to have an origin from the posterior surface of the radius (although both extend on to the interosseous membrane and the abductor also has an origin from the posterior surface of the ulna). These muscles remain companions as they wind round the lateral side of the radius ( page 161 ) and form the radial boundary of the anatomical snuffbox ( pages 162 and 176 ).
In the young subject, the radius sometimes fractures across the lower epiphysis following an injury to the wrist. In the adult the term “Colles’ fracture” ( page 129 ) refers to a transverse break across the lower radius within about 2.5 cm of the lower end of the bone. The ulnar styloid process is also often fractured.

The scaphoid, lunate, triquetral and pisiform bones form the proximal row of carpal bones.
The trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate bones form the distal row of carpal bones.
The tubercle (33) and waist (35) are the non-articular parts of the scaphoid and therefore contain nutrient foramina. A fracture across the waist may therefore interfere with the blood supply of the proximal pole of the bone and lead to avascular necrosis (see page 173 ). The waist of the scaphoid lies in the anatomical snuffbox; the tubercle may be palpated in front of the radial boundary of the snuffbox.

The wrist joint (properly called the radiocarpal joint) is the joint between (proximally) the lower end of the radius and the interarticular disc which holds the lower ends of the radius and the ulna together, and (distally) the scaphoid, lunate and triquetral bones.
The midcarpal joint is the joint between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones (see the note on pages 173 and 177 ).
The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is the joint between the trapezium and the base of the first metacarpal.

The metacarpophalangeal joints are the joints between the heads of the metacarpals and the bases of the proximal phalanges.
The interphalangeal joints are the joints between the head of one phalanx and the base of the adjoining phalanx.
The pisiform is a sesamoid bone in the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris and is anchored by the pisohamate and pisometacarpal ligaments (24 and 25).
Dorsal interossei arise from the sides of two adjacent metacarpal bones (as at 26, from the sides of the second and third metacarpals); palmar interossei arise only from the metacarpal of their own finger (as at 27, from the second metacarpal). Compare with dissection B on page 176 and note that when looking at the palm, parts of the dorsal interossei can be seen as well as the palmar interossei, but when looking at the dorsum of the hand (as on page 176 ) only dorsal interossei are seen.

The first figure indicates the approximate date when ossification begins in the secondary centre, and the second figure (beyond the arrowhead) when the centre finally becomes fused with the rest of the bone. Single average dates have been given (both here and for the lower limb bone centres on pages 322 and 323 ) and although there may be considerable individual variations, the ‘growing end’ of the bone (when fusion occurs last) is constant. The dates in females are often a year or more earlier than in males.
Apart from the acromial, coracoid and subcoracoid centres illustrated (A), the scapula usually has other centres for the inferior angle, medial border, and the lower part of the rim of the glenoid cavity (all P → 20; see page 143 ).
The clavicle is the first bone in the body to start to ossify (fifth week of gestation). It ossifies in membrane, but the ends of the bone have a cartilaginous phase of ossification; a secondary centre appearing at the sternal end (B) unites with the body at about the 25th year.
The centre illustrated at the upper end of the humerus (C) is the result of the union at 6 years of centres for the head (1 year), greater tubercle (3 years) and lesser tubercle (5 years).
At the lower end of the humerus (D) the centres for the capitulum, trochlea and lateral epicondyle fuse together before uniting with the shaft.
All the phalanges (as in J), and the first metacarpal (I) have a secondary centre at their proximal ends; the other metacarpals (as in J) have one at their distal ends.
All the carpal bones are cartilaginous at birth and none has a secondary centre. The largest, the capitate, is the first to begin to ossify (in the second month after birth), followed in a month or so by the hamate, with the triquetral at 3 years, lunate at 4 years, scaphoid, trapezoid and trapezium at 5 years and the pisiform last at 9 years or later. There are often variations in the above common pattern.

The position of the acromioclavicular joint (4) is indicated by the small ‘step down’ between the acromial end of the clavicle (3) and the acromion (5); compare with the surface feature 2 on page 132 . This is the normal appearance; when the joint is dislocated, with the acromion being forced below the end of the clavicle, the ‘step’ is much exaggerated.
The cephalic vein (7) runs in the deltopectoral groove between deltoid (13) and pectoralis major (11) and pierces the clavipectoral fascia (12) to drain into the axillary vein.

The inferior angle of the scapula (5) usually lies at the level of the seventh intercostal space. It is overlapped by the upper margin of latissimus dorsi ( page 138 , 9).
The axillary nerve (8) runs transversely under cover of deltoid (4) behind the shaft of the humerus at a level 5–6 cm below the acromion (3). This must be remembered when giving intramuscular injections into the deltoid.
Latissimus dorsi (7; page 138 , 7) and teres major (11; page 138 , 16) form the lower boundary of the posterior wall of the axilla.
