Understanding the acromioclavicular (AC) joint is crucial for clinical practice. This review highlights AC joint pathology diagnosis, classification, and evolving treatment strategies, from AC to coracoclavicular stabilization.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The acromioclavicular (AC) joint's clinical significance is often underestimated despite its well-understood anatomy and biomechanics.
  • Clinical examination and specialized X-ray techniques are key for diagnosing AC joint pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of AC joint pathology.
  • To discuss the evolution of surgical interventions for AC joint injuries and degenerative conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on AC joint anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical management.
  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities including functional tests and imaging.
  • Analysis of the Rockwood classification and its impact on treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • The Rockwood classification has improved understanding and management of AC joint separations.
  • Surgical treatment has shifted towards coracoclavicular stabilization.
  • Lateral clavicle resection is a reproducible procedure for degenerative AC joint disease, performable via open or arthroscopic (ARAC) techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and classification are essential for effective AC joint management.
  • Minimally invasive arthroscopic resection of the AC joint (ARAC) offers a viable option for degenerative conditions.
  • Unstable AC joint injuries may require combined resection and stabilization procedures.
