The sternoclavicular articulation is structurally classed as a synovial double-plane joint and functionally classed as a diarthrotic joint. It is composed of two portions separated by an articular disc which is made from fibrocartilage. The parts entering into its formation are the sternal end of the clavicle the upper and lateral part of the manubrium sterni (clavicular notch of the manubrium sterni) and the cartilage of the first rib visible from the outside as the suprasternal notch.
