AC Joint Ligament
Acromioclavicular joint dislocations
The joint between the collar bone (clavicle) and the shouler blade (acromion) can dislocate in many sports injuries involving fall on the shoulder. Minor grades are treated without surgery. Complete dislocations are treated with reduction and fixation in the acute stage and in chronic stage, a biological procedure reconstructing the coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligments are carried out with tendon grafts.
AC joint (collar bone) separation
- Collar bone dislocates during sports and falls
- Only high grade injuries need surgery
- Arthroscopy & repair in acute injury
- Augmentation with tendon graft in chronic injury
