The interclavicular ligament is a flattened band, which varies considerably in form and size in different individuals, it passes in a curved direction from the upper part of the sternal end of one clavicle to that of the other, and is also attached to the upper margin of the sternum.^[1]

It is in relation, in front, with the integument and Sternocleidomastoidei; behind, with the Sternothyreoidei.
