Clavipectoral fascia
The clavipectoral fascia is a fibrous layer covering the pectoralis major muscle and extending to the clavicle. It serves as a protective sheath, providing structural support and helping to stabilize the shoulder joint. This fascia also plays a crucial role in compartmentalizing the axillary region, separating the axillary vessels and nerves from the chest wall. Additionally, it contributes to the formation of the suspensory ligament of the axilla. Dysfunction or injury to the clavipectoral fascia can lead to instability in the shoulder complex and may require therapeutic interventions such as physical therapy or surgical repair for restoration of function.
