Epidemiology of Isolated Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation

Epidemiology of Isolated Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation

Background. Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common shoulder problem. However, information about the basic epidemiological features of this condition is scarce. The aim of this study is to analyze the epidemiology of isolated AC dislocation in an urban population. Materials and Methods. A retrospective database search was performed to identify all patients with an AC dislocation ov...

This was Presented in 5th International Congress of Iranian Iranian Society of Knee Surgery, Arthroscopy, and Sports Traumatology (ISKAST), 14-17 Feb 2018- Kish, Iran

Acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint.

Locked Superior Dislocation of the Acromioclavicular Joint

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries account for approximately 3-5% of shoulder girdle injuries (Rockwood et al., 1998). Depending on severity of injury and direction of displacement these are classified using Rockwood classification system for AC joint dislocation. We present an unusual case presenting with locked superior dislocation of the AC joint highlighting the presentation and subseque...

Acromioclavicular joint dislocation: pathology, diagnosis and management

Dislocation is the most common injury affecting the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Six grades of AC joint dislocation are currently described, based on the degree and direction, of displacement. Complete rupture of both the AC and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments is considered to be necessary before complete grade 3 dislocation of the AC joint can occur. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the clin...
