ACJ Dislocation
What?
The Acromio-Clavicular joint (ACJ) is where the collar bone meets the front edge of the shoulder blade. When the ligaments (CC -ligaments) are ruptured the collar bone separates.
Why?
An ACJ dislocation is caused by an injury usually a fall or direct blow onto the shoulder. These are usually high energy sporting injuries.
The Coraco-clavicuclar (CC) ligaments are strong ligaments that stabilise the clavicle (collar bone).
If these Ligaments are injured the collar bone separates moving in an upwards direction.
