Q
  1. Figures 275a and 275b are MR images of a 27-year-old recreational athlete who has no history of trauma but is having pain and mechanical symptoms when performing overhead activities and lifting. He has not experienced pain relief after participating in 2 months of physical therapy, but did experience 6 weeks of pain relief after receiving an acromioclavicular joint injection. An examination reveals full range of motion, good rotator cuff strength, mild pain with O’Brien testing, positive cross-arm pain, and tenderness over the acromioclavicular joint. He has no tenderness in the bicipital groove. Arthroscopic images are shown in Figures 275c and 275d. In addition to a distal clavicle resection, how would you treat the lesion shown in the arthroscopic images?
