Acromioclavicular Dislocation
When a blow or fall onto the shoulder causes intense pain and deformity, it is worth considering an acromioclavicular dislocation, an injury to the joint that connects the collarbone with the tip of the shoulder blade. It is common in sports falls or direct impacts to the shoulder.
Common symptoms: pain in the upper part of the shoulder, a visible bump or step-off, and swelling that limits raising the arm.
Which specialist evaluates it? The orthopedist and the trauma surgeon are the ones who assess this type of injury, relying on imaging studies; the sports medicine physician can also take part in the recovery.
When to seek care? After trauma with shoulder pain and deformity, the prudent course is a timely evaluation to determine the extent of the injury.
