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.

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.

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.

Through anatomic illustrations and a comprehensive image-based review, this article provides the reader with an enhanced understanding of the anatomy and pathologic conditions of the coracoid process and related structures.

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.

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.

2023年7月24日 · The coracoid process is a hook-like structure that comes off anteriorly from the lateral superior aspect of the ventral side of the scapula. Like the acromion, it is an attachment point for muscles and ligaments.

Coracoid process is a hook-like structure connected with multiple ligaments. The complexity and its close relations often create confusion. The aim of this study is to identify the ligaments attached to the coracoid process as discrete structures on 3T …

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.

A coracoid [a] is a paired bone which is part of the shoulder assembly in all vertebrates except therian mammals (marsupials and placentals). In therian mammals (including humans), a coracoid process is present as part of the scapula, but this is not homologous with the coracoid bone of most other vertebrates. [2]
