Acromioclavicular Dislocation Apparatus Shoulder Instruments Sport Medicine Orthopedic Instruments
AC joint surgery is reserved for severe injuries that have major bone displacement or complete ligament tear, or injuries that aren't healing well with conservative approaches. AC joint separations are graded on what's called the Rockwood classification system, which considers the severity of the damage to the joint and surrounding muscle system. In this system, type III through VI separations are those most likely to need surgical repair. Many type III AC joint separations can also be managed without surgery. If you do need AC joint surgery, the focus involves repairing the ligaments and realigning your bones, securing them into position with surgical hardware.
