Abstract
In this study, we describe a technique for arthroscopic treatment of
injuries of a traumatic or degenerative nature that frequent affect the AC
joint and may affect shoulder function. These injuries can be divided into
those related to direct or indirect trauma and those related to repetitive
stress or degenerative conditions that affect virtually all diarthrodial
joints. Most conditions affecting the AC joint can be treated
conservatively, but chronic conditions affecting shoulder function and
athletic activity may require operative intervention.
Open or arthroscopic techniques may be necessary to deal with AC
joint pathology and late degenerative conditions. The results of such
treatment are excellent, but attention to surgical technique is necessary to
avoid complications.
