The brachial plexus and its components are vulnerable to damage as they pass the base of the coracoid process and adjacent inferior capsule of the glenohumeral joint, particularly with anteroinferior instability (Ciullo 1996).
Clinical evaluation, diagnosis and passive management of the shoulder complex
Symptoms are presumed to result from impingement of the subscapularis tendon between the coracoid process and the lesser tuberosity (2, 18-20).

Management of type 3 acromioclavicular joint dislocations: current controversies
Overuse, trauma of the tendons, anatomic variations of the acromion or coracoid process may lead to narrowing of the subacromial space, while glenohumeral or scapulothoracic joint instability, faulty posture or posterior capsule tightness may result in impingement due to "relative narrowing" (1,7).

Epiphyses showing no union include the coracoid process of the left scapula, the head of the right humerus, proximal left radius and distal right ulna, distal tibiae, and epiphyseal rings of the vertebrae; epiphyses of the proximal and distal femur show partial union.
Human skeletal remains from Tomb 1, Sipan (Lambayeque river valley, Peru); and their social implications
Recently, Sahara and colleagues performed a three-dimensional (3D) kinematic analysis of the acromioclavicular joint using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and observed that the scapula rotated 35[degrees] on an axis that passed through the insertions of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments on the acromion and coracoid process, respectively.
Current concepts in the surgical management of acromioclavicular joint injuries
A transverse image of the anterior shoulder joint is obtained by using the coracoid process medially and the anteromedial humeral head laterally as reference points (Fig.
