Rockwood Classification Of Acromioclavicular Joint Injury Aliem Radiograph demonstrates loss of ac joint relationship and increased coracoclavicular distance in stress view (25% to 100% greater than the normal side.). type iv: type iii with distal clavicle displaced posteriorly into or through the trapezius. An acromioclavicular joint injury, otherwise known as a shoulder separation, is a traumatic injury to the acromioclavicular (ac) joint with disruption of the acromioclavicular ligaments and or coracoclavicular (cc) ligaments. diagnosis is made with bilateral focused shoulder radiographs to assess for ac and cc interval widening. Ac joint injuries. the ac joint is where the acromion (a part of the shoulder blade) connects to the clavicle (collar bone) at the top of the shoulder. this joint helps maintain the position of the shoulder and is very important for shoulder control, motion, and strength. the joint is stabilized by a capsule and ligaments, and injury occurs. Surgical techniques for reconstruction, and rehabilitation protocols are available to guide treatment strategies for injuries to the ac joint. treatment is typically nonsurgical for type i and ii injuries and surgical for type iv and vi injuries. controversy surrounds the indications for nonsurgical versus surgical treatment of type iii and v injuries. multiple surgical techniques have been.

Acromioclavicular Joint Anatomy And Classification Of Injury Ac joint injuries. the ac joint is where the acromion (a part of the shoulder blade) connects to the clavicle (collar bone) at the top of the shoulder. this joint helps maintain the position of the shoulder and is very important for shoulder control, motion, and strength. the joint is stabilized by a capsule and ligaments, and injury occurs. Surgical techniques for reconstruction, and rehabilitation protocols are available to guide treatment strategies for injuries to the ac joint. treatment is typically nonsurgical for type i and ii injuries and surgical for type iv and vi injuries. controversy surrounds the indications for nonsurgical versus surgical treatment of type iii and v injuries. multiple surgical techniques have been. Injury to the acromioclavicular joint is common among athletes and young individuals. acromioclavicular joint injuries account for more than 40% of all shoulder injuries. mild injuries are not associated with any significant morbidity, but severe injuries can lead to significant loss of strength and function of the shoulder. acromioclavicular injuries may be associated with a fractured. Introduction. treatment of a patient with acromioclavicular joint (acj) injury remains challenging for orthopedic surgeons. to date, there is debate over the optimal management of acj injuries. this review provides an overview of assessment, treatment, and future perspectives for the treatment of and research into acj.
