Inferior Acromioclavicular Ligament

It is in relation, above, in rare cases with the articular disk; below, with the tendon of the Supraspinatus.

Famous quotes containing the word inferior:

    Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
