The stress and strain pattern in the ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint using a quasi-static model

The coracoclavicular ligament complex demonstrated a high stress-strain concentration during simulated passive shoulder abduction. Additionally, it was shown that the acromioclavicular ligament plays an important role in joint restraint during passive horizontal adduction, changing the primary role with the trapezoid and conoid at different motion intervals.
