2023年10月30日 · The coracoid process is an osseous projection that projects from the upper margin of the scapula. This process is directed anterolaterally and positioned directly inferior to the lateral aspect of the clavicle. It connects with the clavicle via the coracoclavicular ligament.

The coracoid process (from Greek κόραξ, raven [1]) is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula (hence: coracoid, or "like a raven's beak"). Pointing laterally forward, it, together with the acromion, serves to stabilize the shoulder joint.

The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; it runs at first upward and medialward; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and lateralward.

2024年6月1日 · The coracoid process is a hook-like process on the superolateral edge of the scapula that projects anterolaterally. Coracoid is Greek for 'crow or raven' as it resembles a crow's beak.

The coracoid process is an osseous structure that arises from the superior border of the head of the scapula, projecting forward and curving laterally. The coracoid process is located directly below the lateral fourth of the clavicle and connected …

2016年7月29日 · Surgeons often refer to the coracoid process as the “lighthouse of the shoulder” given its proximity to major neurovascular structures such as the brachial plexus and the axillary artery and vein, its role in guiding surgical approaches, and its utility as a landmark for other important structures in the shoulder.

2016年8月14日 · Coracoid is the hook shaped bony process of scapula. It is considered as the surgeons lighthouse. It is safe to do surgical approaches lateral to coracoid process. The neuro vascular bundle lies medial to coracoid process. Three ligaments attached to coracoid process are coracoacromial, coracoclavicular and coracohumeral ligaments.

2016年10月18日 · Oriented superior, anterior, and lateral to the axis of the scapula, the coracoid process comes off the scapula at the upper base of the neck of the glenoid and passes anteriorly before hooking to a more lateral position as it projects from the superior body of the scapula.

We performed a quantitative and statistical analysis of the osseous anatomy of the coracoid process in 101 scapulae; the purpose was to determine the anatomical variations and gender-specific differences in the length, breadth, thickness, vertical and horizontal projections, and triplane angulations of each individual coracoid pillar.

2025年1月16日 · The coracoid process is a bony projection located on the scapula, or shoulder blade, of the human body. It is a small, triangular-shaped bone that protrudes out from the scapula and is located just below the clavicle, or collarbone. The coracoid process serves a variety of important functions in the human body, including providing attachment
