Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction (implant/allograft, not included) Procedure

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to restore stability and function to the AC joint, which is located at the top of the shoulder. This type of surgery is typically indicated for patients who have sustained a severe injury to the AC joint, such as a dislocation or fracture. AC joint reconstruction can repair the injury and allow patients to regain function.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Acromioclavicular joint reconstruction surgery may become medically necessary for patients who suffer from severe joint instability or recurrent dislocations that significantly impair the patient’s function and quality of life. This procedure becomes essential when conservative treatment options, such as physical therapy or bracing, fail to provide meaningful pain relief and restore stability in the joint. Medical professionals may recommend acromioclavicular joint reconstruction for individuals who experience persistent pain, difficulty performing daily activities, weakness, or restricted range of motion due to a damaged acromioclavicular joint.

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia throughout the procedure. Depending on the severity of the injury and the patient’s goals, the exact nature of the procedure will differ. The overall goal of this procedure is to stabilize the joint and repair any other minor injuries that may have developed. It is important to consult your doctor so you know what to expect on the day of the surgery.

Patients can return home on the same day of the procedure. The doctor will prescribe pain medications to ensure the patient’s comfort. Patients will wear a sling for 4-6 weeks to ensure the shoulder stays immobile, allowing for healing. Once the area has healed, patients will attend physical therapy to slowly introduce movement and strength back to the shoulder region.
