The ligament attached on the cone like tubercle.

• A. Perichondrium
• B. Conoid ligament
• C. Epiphyseal plate
• D. Lateral condyle of femur

Answer: (B)

This item examines where the ligaments attach to the clavicle and how the coracoclavicular complex is organized. The cone-like tubercle on the clavicle is the conoid tubercle. The ligament that attaches there is the conoid ligament, which is the medial part of the coracoclavicular ligament system. It runs from this cone-shaped bump on the clavicle down to the coracoid process of the scapula, helping to suspend the upper limb and stabilize the clavicle–scapula relationship.

The other structures don’t fit: the perichondrium covers cartilage, not a ligament; the epiphyseal plate is a growth area at bone ends; the lateral condyle of the femur is part of the knee joint and unrelated to the clavicle.
