The Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint | Anatomy and Function

The video tutorial provides an in-depth exploration of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, comparing it to the sternoclavicular joint. It covers the anatomy of the scapula, including the subscapular fossa and coracoid process, and details the ligaments and tendons around the shoulder, such as the transverse humeral ligament and biceps tendon. The tutorial explains the ligaments stabilizing the AC joint, including the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments, and discusses the blood and nerve supply to the AC joint. It concludes with a detailed look at the anatomy and function of the shoulder region, highlighting the glenoid cavity, subacromial space, and axillary pouch.
