Axillary

Repetitive punch
Fall on FF, ADD arm
Often subluxation
MOI for AC joint injury
Direct blow of shoulder into ground
2nd - axial load to elbow
AC joint has pain with
Cross body actions
For simple AC joint injuries: what is RTP
Grade 1 = 7-10 days
Grade 2 = 2-3 weeks
Grade 3 = 4-6 weeks
Ligament stretched
Type 1 AC
Partial rupture AC ligs
Type 2 AC
Complete rupture of AC and CC ligs
Type 3 AC
Clavicle displaced posteriorly over acromion
Type 4 AC
Clavicle displaced just under skin
Type 5 AC
Clavicle under coracoid (very rare)
Type 6 AC
Sprain of the AC ligaments (all ligaments are intact) Deltopectoral fascia is intact
• Radiographic examination is normal
Type 1 AC
Clinical Presentation • • • AC joint tenderness Minimal pain with arm motion No pain in coracoclavicular interspace
Type 1 AC
• Distal clavicle is unstable horizontally (either anteriorly or posteriorly)
Type 2 AC
Clinical Presentation
Distal clavicle slightly superior to acromion
Mobile to palpation
Tenderness in the coracoclavicular space
Minimal pain with arm motion
Type 2 AC
Distal clavicle is unstable horizontally and vertically
• Disruption of the AC ligaments, CC ligaments, and Deltopectoral Fascia
Type 3 AC
Clinical Presentation
•
Distal clavicle appears superior to acromion
Mobile to palpation
Tenderness in the coracoclavicular space
Coracoclavicular widening is evident
AC joint is reducible with upward force on the elbow
Severe pain with motion
Type 3 AC
Distal clavicle is posteriorly displaced into trapezius muscle and into the posterior skin.
Type 4 AC
Clinical Presentation • Maybe anterior dislocation of SC joint Or posterior dislocation of AC joint Tenderness in the coracoclavicular space AC joint is irreducible Pain with motion
Type 4 AC
More severe form of Type 3
• Deltoid and trapezial fascia stripped off acromion and clavicle
Type 5 AC
Clinical Presentation:
Shoulder presents with severe droop
(due to downward displacement of scapula & humerus)
Maybe symptoms from traction on brachial plexus
