		On the medial part of the root of the coracoid process is a rough impression for the attachment of the conoid ligament; and running from it obliquely forward and lateralward, on to the upper surface of the horizontal portion, is an elevated ridge for the attachment of the trapezoid ligament.
		The base of the acromion is formed by an extension from the spine; the two separate nuclei of the acromion unite, and then join with the extension from the spine.
		Failure of bony union between the acromion and spine sometimes occurs, the junction being effected by fibrous tissue, or by an imperfect articulation; in some cases of supposed fracture of the acromion with ligamentous union, it is probable that the detached segment was never united to the rest of the bone.

		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.

		It is attached, by its apex, to the summit of the acromion just in front of the articular surface for the clavicle; and by its broad base to the whole length of the lateral border of the coracoid process.
		This ligament, together with the coracoid process and the acromion, forms a vault for the protection of the head of the humerus.
		The articular cartilage on the head of the humerus is thicker at the center than at the circumference, the reverse being the case with the articular cartilage of the glenoid cavity.

	ACROMION PROCESS : Encyclopedia Entry
		The acromion articulates with the clavicle to form the acromioclavicular joint.
		The acromion forms the summit of the shoulder, and is a large, somewhat triangular or oblong process, flattened from behind forward, projecting at first lateralward, and then curving forward and upward, so as to overhang the glenoid cavity.
		The acromion process of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) is particularly elongated compared to that of humans.

	PART III
		The acromioclavicular joint itself is a true diarthrosis; the articular surfaces of the acromion process and the outer end of the clavicle, which are separated by a joint cavity, are surrounded by a capsule which is reinforced by ligaments.
		In unreduced dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint, the deformity was maintained by three factors, (1) gravity, (2) the pull of the trapezius on the distal end of the clavicle, and (3) the absence of counterpull by the aponeurosis of the anterior portion of the deltoid.

	Shoulder Impingement \| massagetoday.com
		Shoulder impingement involves compression of soft tissues between the head of the humerus and the underside of the acromion process or coracoacromial ligament.
		Primary impingement is predominantly caused by the architecture of the subacromial region.
		The hooked acromion is associated with a greater incidence of impingement syndrome.

		The head of the humerus may be felt deeply in the upper part of the axilla, especially in thin subjects with the arm slightly abducted, the forearm suported and the muscles relaxed.

		It is the most prominent bony part of this region, extending beyond the acromion process and covered by the deltoid.

		The clavicle and acromion process impinge upon the humeral head due to the abnormal positioning of the scapula and associated acromio-clavicular triangle (ACT), with its sides defined by the clavicular shaft and the acromion process and its base by an imaginary line connecting their medial ends.
		Second, osteotomy of the acromion process at its junction with the spine of the scapula was performed.
		Significant movement also follows osteotomy of the acromion process, with the body of the acromion process and the medial margin of the acromion rapidly separating, and the distal segment moving both inferiorly and posteriorly.

		AC joint separation is demonstrated radiographically by increased space between the clavicle and the acromion process, usually from strain or tear of the coroclavicular ligament.
		Normal distance between the outer edge of the clavicle and the medial margin of the acromion process is 1.1 to 1.3 cm.
		It typically results from a fall onto the acromion, which drives the acromion inferiorly, separating it from its articulation with the distal end of the clavicle.

		This process is similar to the way that a rope frays and unravels as it travels through a rough pulley.
		The mechanical impingement of the tendon on the undersurface of the acromion causes a chemical inflammation in the tendon that is felt as shoulder pain by the patient.
		The lubricating sack between the rotator cuff and the acromion, known as the bursa, is a special structure that helps to reduce the amount of friction as the tendon slides back and forth.
