Articular disk of sternoclavicular articulation

The articular disc of the sternoclavicular articulation is flat and nearly circular, interposed between the articulating surfaces of the sternum and clavicle.

It is attached, above, to the upper and posterior border of the articular surface of the clavicle; below, to the cartilage of the first rib, near its junction with the sternum; and by its circumference to the interclavicular and anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligaments.
