Acromioclavicular Joint Repair in Turkey
The acromioclavicular, or AC, joint is a joint in the shoulder where two bones meet. One of these bones is the collarbone, or clavicle. The second bone is actually part of the shoulder blade. The portion of the shoulder blade that meets the clavicle is called the acromion. As a result, where the clavicle meets the acromion is called the AC joint.
Most patients get excellent pain relief with this operation, and nearly 95 percent return to their preinjury level of activity and sports.
