Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation occurs when the collarbone separates from the shoulder blade at the AC joint. This injury is common in contact sports and falls.
The AC joint connects the clavicle to the scapula, allowing arm movement. Dislocation disrupts this connection, leading to pain and limited function.
Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, and a visible “bump” at the shoulder. Injuries typically occur due to direct blows or falls.
Mild cases are treated with rest and bracing. Severe dislocations may require surgical reconstruction of the joint using grafts or implants.
