AC Joint Dislocation

Types of AC Joint Dislocations

AC Joint Dislocation Classifications are classified according to their severity. Grade I is a minor sprain, Grade II is a partial tear of the AC ligament, Grade III is a full tear, and Grades IV, V, and VI are increasingly severe dislocations.

• Grade I-III- in this grade surgery is not needed. Type I refers to modest joint strains, Type II to partial tears of the AC ligament, and Type III to a full rupture of the ligament that results in noticeable deformity. They can be treated with non-surgical treatment.
• Grade IV-VI- Surgery is frequently required for Type IV to VI acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations because of the severity of the injury. In type IV, the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament is disrupted and the AC ligament is completely torn, resulting in a severe deformity. The clavicle is forced behind the acromion process in more severe type V and VI dislocations. In this surgery is important for reducing pain, and long-term complications.
