The area between the clavicle (collarbone) and scapula (shoulder blade) is known as the supraclavicular fossa.
The acromioclavicular joint is a plane, or gliding, joint.
The clavicle articulates with the scapula at the acromion process, forming the acromioclavicular joint.
Acromioclavicular joint capsular hypertrophy is a condition characterized by thickening and tightening of the joint capsule that surrounds the acromioclavicular joint. This can lead to pain, limited range of motion, and decreased shoulder function. Treatment may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in severe cases, surgery to address the underlying issue.
The acromioclavicular ligament and the coracoclavicular ligament anchor the clavicle to other structures in the shoulder region.
The arcomial end of the clavicle attaches to the scapula.

Acromioclavicular (joint/ligament) sprain
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint.
Hypertrophic change of the AC joint is overgrowth in the acromioclavicular joint, often due to Arthritis.
The distal aspect of the right clavicle refers to the end of the clavicle closest to the shoulder joint. It articulates with the acromion process of the scapula to form the acromioclavicular joint.
Physiologic radiotracer uptake refers to the normal uptake of a radiotracer by organs or tissues in the body that is expected due to their physiological functions. This can include uptake by organs like the heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. Understanding physiologic radiotracer uptake is important in interpreting nuclear medicine imaging studies and distinguishing normal uptake from abnormal findings.
