I injured my ac joint this past august with what appears to be a grade 2 separation. My x rays taken this month have shown some gnarly changes to the distal end of my right clavicle. Pain is okay right now. If it were to progress to the point of needing surgery, what complications could there be in a distal clavicle excision if the acromioclavucular ligament was ruptured? Does that ruptured ligament eventually form scar tissue to, in a sense, form a new ligament?

How often have you seen someone experience this issue with both shoulders? I started having pain in both of mine as well as prominent bumps on top of my shoulders. Tried rest and PT. If I do nothing the pain subsides if I don’t sleep on my sides. As soon as I restart activity the pain presents itself in both shoulders. One shoulder will even start to bruise on top.

I was diagnosed with DCO. I went through all of the treatments listed with my doctor, and nothing helped. I eventually had surgery. It has been almost 2 years since the surgery and I still experience a lot of shoulder pain and Limits on range of motion. It is so defeating. I don’t know if I was misdiagnosed or what.

Well, I have pain in the areas that you are showing but can’t just one beds pressing overexertion cause this because I remember when I was younger I tried bench pressing more than I should and I hurt my shoulder and my back a little bit the pain was really intense at the time, but after a few days it went away, but then came back later in life but I didn’t put two into together until I thought of that incident when I was younger I don’t know if I had anything to do with my shoulder pain now, but I have had it for about 15 years straight now maybe longer and I don’t know what to do I was thinking it was coracoid process impingement I think it’s what it’s called or coracoid impingement where is pinch in that area because that’s where it hurts also but I’m not sure
@@DrDavidGeier that’s great I will perhaps let my doctor know about my shoulder pain this follow up appointment. I’m just tired of shoulder pain every single day.

Hi doc, I hope you can answer this question as it is not specific. The DCO can happen in a fall or only in cases of stress over time? Thanks and good luck with the channel!
It's typically repetitive stress over time.
As a surgeon do you feel that the arthroscopic surgery for distal clavicle resection is better than the old school open excision ???

I generally think that sports and exercise that stress other parts of the body are beneficial.
Well, I have pain in the areas that you are showing but can’t just one beds pressing overexertion cause this because I remember when I was younger I tried bench pressing more than I should and I hurt my shoulder and my back a little bit the pain was really intense at the time, but after a few days it went away, but then came back later in life but I didn’t put two into together until I thought of that incident when I was younger I don’t know if I had anything to do with my shoulder pain now, but I have had it for about 15 years straight now maybe longer and I don’t know what to do I was thinking it was coracoid process impingement I think it’s what it’s called or coracoid impingement where is pinch in that area because that’s where it hurts also but I’m not sure
Fortunately x-rays can show distal clavicle osteolysis.
