5. Physical examination
GA : A Thai male alert well cooperation
HEENT : Not pale, anicteric sclerae, Right corneal abrasion
Lungs : clear equal both lungs CCT negative
Heart : normal s1s2 no murmur
Abdomen : soft not tender, PCT negative
Neurological : E4V5M6, full EOM, pupils 2 mm RTLBE, motor
power grade V all extremities, no sensation loss
13. Mechanism of injury
Direct force to acromion with the
shoulder adducted, usually result
of fall
Acromion moves inferiorly and
medially while clavicle is
stabilized by SC joint ligaments
Chronic overuse
15. Signs and symptoms
Injury is most common secondary from traumatic event,
deformity is a common finding and complaint
Distraction between the CC space and AC joint
The examination should be compared with uninjured shoulder.
Cross arm adduction test
16. Signs and symptoms
O’Brien active compression test
with localized pain over AC joint
Paxinos test ( thumb pressure to
the posterior AC joint )
Pain relief after analgesic injection
17. Imaging
Bilateral anteroposterior (AP) view of AC joint
for compare displacement to the contralateral side
Axillary lateral view
for diagnose type IV
Zanca view
10 degree cephalad tilt
20. Classification
Type I : mild force to the point of the shoulder
minor strain to the AC ligament
ligament remain intact and stable
21. Classification
Type II : moderate force to the point of the shoulder
severe enough to rupture the AC ligament
unstable distal clavicle in horizontal plane
intact CC ligament
relative slightly upward due to stretching of CC
ligament
22. Classification
Type III : severe force to the point of the shoulder
complete AC dislocation
distal clavicle appears to be displaced superiorly
25-100% increase in CC space comparison to
normal side
relative slightly upward due to stretching of CC
ligament
24. Classification
Type IV : posterior dislocation of the distal end clavicle
relatively rare
displace posteriorly into or through the trapezius
muscle as the force applied anteroinferiorly
25. Classification
Type V : markedly more sever of type III
The distal clavicle has been stripped of all its soft
tissue attachment ( AC, CC, deltotrapezial muscles)
marked increase of CC distance > 100%
26. Classification
Type VI : Inferior dislocation of distal clavicle
very rare
severe hyperabduction, external rotation, retraction
of scapula
either a subacromial or subcoracoid location
27. Treatment
Non operative treatment
Brief arm sling, rest, ice, physical therapy
indicate in type I,II and some of type III with clavicle
displaced < 2 cm
Rehabilitation : early shoulder range of motion,
regain functional motion in 6 weeks and
return to normal activity in 12 weeks
Corticosteroid injection maybe considered
Complication : Arthritis, chronic subluxation & instability
28. Treatment
Operative treatment
ORIF with ligament reconstruction
indicate in type IV, V, VI and some of type III in
laborers, athletes, patients with cosmetic concerns or
failed non operative patient
Contraindication : Skin problems over approach side or
Poor compliance of post operative rehabilitation patient
Rehabilitation : sling immobilization for 6 weeks, no shoulder
range of motion, return to full activity after 6 months
Complication : Arthritis, hardware failure, Coracoid fracture
