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. Key words 1- Acromioclavicular joint 2- Shoulder arthroscopy 3- Arthritis |
