It often occurs in athletic young patients and results from a <strong>fall directly onto the tip of the shoulder<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>The acromioclavicular joint forms the <strong>connection between the collarbone and the shoulder blade<\/strong>. It is essential for stable guidance of the shoulder, especially during <strong>overhead activities<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe injury caused by falling on the shoulder leads to a <strong>tear in the ligamentous structures<\/strong>, which causes the collarbone to rise (positive piano key sign). <\/p>\n<h2>Diagnosis of an Injury to the Acromioclavicular Joint<\/h2>\n<p>An <strong>X-ray examination<\/strong> is used both to estimate the extent of the injury and to rule out a bone fracture. In some cases, <strong>magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)<\/strong> is necessary. <\/p>\n<h2>Therapy for Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation<\/h2>\n<p>Minor injuries to the AC joint can be treated <strong>conservatively<\/strong> and usually heal well. Severe injuries require <strong>surgical therapy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h2>AC- TightRope<\/h2>\n<p>With the <strong>minimally invasive treatment method<\/strong>, the dislocation is permanently corrected and the torn ligamentous structures are restored with a <strong>special thread-anchor system<\/strong> (AC-Tight Rope). <strong>Only a small skin incision<\/strong> is necessary and no follow-up surgery is required to remove the metal. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1896\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1896\" class=\"Spezielles Faden-Ankersystem (AC-Tight Rope) wp-image-1896 size-medium\" title=\"Special thread-anchor system (AC-Tight Rope)\" src=\"https:\/\/fraktur.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ac_tightrope_0-large-300x278.png\" alt=\"Special thread-anchor system (AC-Tight Rope)\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fraktur.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ac_tightrope_0-large-300x278.png 300w, https:\/\/fraktur.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ac_tightrope_0-large.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1896\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Special thread-anchor system (AC-Tight Rope)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Alternatively, a <strong>tension band osteosynthesis<\/strong> or a <strong>hook plate<\/strong> can also be used.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-treatment for Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>physiotherapy<\/strong> can be started immediately after the operation.
