A sagittal plane shows the fascial space that is delineated by the clavipectoral fascia, the axillary fascia, the major pectoral muscle, and the minor pectoral and subclavius muscles which are enveloped by the clavipectoral fascia
The major and minor pectoral muscles and the clavipectoral fascia are the components of the anterior wall of the axilla
The infero-lateral part of the clavicopectoral fascia that connects the lower margin of the minor pectoral muscle with the axillary fascia in the armpit is called “Gerdy’s ligament”.
It is also called the “suspensory ligament of the axilla” or “Campbell’s ligament” and it is responsible for the hollow of the armpit
