2025年1月28日 · 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.

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 ...

2019年10月30日 · In this chapter, we aim to summarize the anatomy and biomechanics of the AC joint as well as the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment protocols, including our preferred protocol, for the range of ACJ injuries. The classifications have poor inter- …

Several surgical strategies for the management of patients with chronic and symptomatic acromioclavicular joint instability have been described. The range of possibilities includes anatomical and non-anatomical techniques, open and arthroscopy-assisted procedures, and biological and synthetic grafts.

2013年4月30日 · Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injuries represent a common injury to the shoulder girdle. In the management algorithm of acute ACJ injuries complete radiological evaluation represents the key to a successful therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients undergoing coracoclavicular (CC) ligament repair by two suture anchors and acromioclavicular (AC) joint (ACJ) fixation using heavy nonabsorbable sutures for the treatment of types III-V ACJ injuries with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

2023年2月16日 · To date, there is debate about the optimal treatment of ACJ injuries, including the need for surgery and the best surgical method. These uncertainties raise questions about diagnosing and classifying ACJ injuries. This review aims to provide an overview of the current treatment strategies in ACJ dislocations, based on the best available evidence.

Therefore we conducted a systematic review of the literature considering three diagnostic parameters for patients with acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries: 1) Assessment of vertical instability; 2) Assessment of horizontal instability; 3) Benefit of weighted panoramic views.

We systematically reviewed the clinical results of 3 main categories of ACJ reconstruction for high-grade chronic instability. Methods: A literature search was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

2020年8月2日 · This case report describes an ACJ cyst that enlarged in size after needle aspiration. The authors suggest surgical alternatives if cyst recurrence is observed after the initial attempt of ...
