What is an AC separation?
An acromioclavicular joint separation, or AC separation, is a very frequent injury among physically active people. In this injury the clavicle (collar bone) separates from the scapula (shoulder blade). It is commonly caused by a fall directly on the "point" of the shoulder or a direct blow received in a contact sport.
What is a third degree AC separation?
A third degree A-C separation represents a complete dislocation of the joint and rupture of all ligaments. The collarbone displacement produces a large painful deformity. The treatment of this injury is controversial. Some orthopaedists believe that no treatment is necessary, and therefore no attempt is made to reduce the separation.
Can AC joint separation be treated without surgery?
There are six grades assigned to AC joint separation with grades one through three representing less severe cases that can often be treated without surgery, though there are some instances when grade three AC joint separation requires surgery. Grades four through six will almost always require surgery to repair the damage.

An acromioclavicular (AC) separation is usually the result of a direct force to the superior aspect of the acromion; often from a fall with the arm in an adducted position. In a fall the acromion is driven inferiorly spraining the intra-articular AC ligaments. Greater forces may also sprain the extra-articular coracoclavicular (CC) ligament.
