Sternoclavicular & sternochondral joints
Product code: HP1010
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The sternum is a core part of the axial skeleton that articulates with both costal cartilages and the clavicle, and is an attachment point for several key muscles. The sternochondral joints facilitate mobility of the thoracic wall during inspiration and expiration, and the sternoclavicular joint is the only joint between the upper limb and axial skeleton. HP1010 enables the structure and alignment of the sternochondral and sternoclavicular joints to be visualized and explored alongside their joint capsule, associated ligaments, and articular discs. The costochondral and interchondral joints are also revealed.
