What is AC Joint Injuries?

AC (acromioclavicular) joint injuries, commonly known as shoulder separations, occur when the ligaments connecting the collarbone (clavicle) to the shoulder blade (scapula) are damaged. These injuries are often caused by trauma, such as falls or sports-related impacts. Severity varies from mild ligament sprains to complete joint dislocations.

Types of AC Joint Injuries

AC Joint Sprain

Top Reasons

  • A mild injury involving stretching or partial tearing of the ligaments holding the AC joint together.
  • Typically caused by a fall on the shoulder or direct impact to the area.

  • Symptoms include pain, swelling, and mild shoulder instability.

AC Joint Dislocation

Top Reasons

  • A more severe injury in which the AC joint is partially or completely displaced.
  • Often caused by a direct blow or a fall on the shoulder.
  • Symptoms include intense pain, visible deformity, and significant shoulder dysfunction.

AC Joint Separation

Top Reasons

  • This injury is characterized by a complete disruption of the AC joint, with the clavicle moving away from the acromion.
  • Usually the result of a high-energy impact or significant trauma.
  • Symptoms include severe pain, deformity, and impaired shoulder function.

Common Symptoms Of AC Joint Injuries

  • Pain at the top of the shoulder, often worsened by arm movement.
  • Swelling and tenderness over the AC joint.
  • Limited range of motion in the shoulder.
  • Bruising in the shoulder and collarbone area.
  • A visible deformity in cases of dislocation or separation.

Diagnosis

AC joint injuries are typically diagnosed through physical examination, medical history review, and imaging studies, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound, to assess the extent of damage and rule out other shoulder conditions.

Treatment Options For AC Joint Injuries

Conservative Management For AC Joint Sprains

  • Ice and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and improve the range of motion.
  • Use of a sling to support the shoulder during the healing process.

Surgical Intervention For Severe Dislocations

  • Surgery may be required to realign and stabilize the AC joint.
  • Surgical options include open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or arthroscopic techniques.

Recovery

The recovery time for AC joint injuries varies depending on the severity of the injury and the chosen treatment. Mild sprains may heal within a few weeks, while more severe dislocations and separations can take several months to recover fully. Physical therapy is often a crucial part of rehabilitation to restore shoulder strength and mobility.
