12. Introduction
Definition
injury to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint with disruption of the AC ligaments with or without
coracoclavicular (CC) ligament disruption
Epidemiology
Incidence : common injury making up 9% of shoulder girdle injuries
Demographics : more common in males and athletes
Mechanism
- direct blow to the shoulder
- often sustained while falling onto the shoulder
13. Anatomy
Osteology
diarthrodial joint
- articulation of the scapula (medial acromion) and the lateral clavicle
- oblique orientation of joint surface
contains a fibrocartilaginous intraarticular disc between the osseous elements
- analogous to the meniscus of the knee
Motion : primarily gliding motion, rotational motion is minimal
Stability
acromioclavicular (AC) ligamentscontrols horizontal motion and anterior-posterior stability
coracoclavicular (CC) ligamentscontrols vertical motion and superior-inferior stability
14. Presentation
Symptoms
o pain
usually over AC joint
can also be referred to the trapezius
Physical exam
o lateral clavicle or AC joint tenderness
o abnormal contour of the shoulder compared to contralateral side
stability assessment
horizontal (anterior-posterior) stability evaluates AC ligaments
- cross-body adduction
vertical (superior-inferior) stability evaluates CC ligaments
15. Imaging
Radiographs
required views
bilateral anteroposterior (AP) view of AC joints
axillary lateral view : required to diagnose Type IV
(posterior)
additional veiws
cross-body adduction view (Basmania) :
scapular Y performed with cross-body adduction stress
weighted stress views
usually no longer used
may help differentiate Type II from Type III
17. Treatment
Nonoperative
brief sling immobilization, rest, ice,
physical therapy
indications
type I and II
type III in most individuals
(good results when clavicle displaced <
2cm)
rehab
early shoulder range of motion
regain functional motion by 6 weeks
return to normal activity at 12 weeks
consider corticosteroid injections
Operative
CC interval restoration (ORIF vs. Ligament
Reconstruction)
indications
• acute type IV, V or VI injuries
• acute type III injuries in laborers, elite
athletes, patients with cosmetic concerns
• chronic type III injuries that failed non-op
treatment
Contraindications
patient unlikely to comply with
postoperative rehabilitation
skin problems over fixation approach site
Rehabilitation
sling immobilization for 6 weeks, no
shoulder range of motion
return to full activity after 6 months
18. Complications
Residual pain at AC joint
30-50%
AC arthritis
more common with surgical management than with nonoperative
treatment
chronic subluxation and instability
Hardware failure
CC screw breakage/pullout
