Reconstruction for AC Joint Dislocations

Reconstruction for AC Joint Dislocations in Old Airport Road, Bangalore | Manipal Hospitals

The AC (acromioclavicular) joint connects the collarbone to the highest point of the shoulder blade. Injuries here are common in sports or accidents and can lead to pain, deformity, and limited arm movement. In acute cases it cane done by arthroscopic approach - it is possible to repair or reconstruct the damaged ligaments using small incisions and specialised instruments.

In chronic cases the procedure often involves using tendon grafts to replace the damaged ligaments, restoring the stability of the AC joint. The arthroscopic technique ensures minimal damage to surrounding tissues and quicker healing.

Advantages include:

  • Smaller incisions and reduced scarring

  • Better visualisation of the joint for precise repair

  • Shorter recovery period

Patients usually return to light activities within weeks, with complete recovery taking a few months alongside physiotherapy. This surgery is ideal for those with severe ligament injury or long-standing AC joint instability.

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role after surgery, with gradual strengthening exercises over several months. This procedure offers hope to patients who otherwise may face lifelong shoulder weakness.
