Case description

The AC joint (acromioclavicular joint) is a joint between acromion and the end of the clavicle. It only moves 10-15 degrees throughout the entire range of motion of the shoulder. Pain in this small joint, however, can be debilitating when it occurs. Pain can result from trauma, arthritis or osteolysis. Treatment is often nonoperative, but when that fails, a mumford procedure (distal clavicle excision) may be warranted. This surgical video demonstrates the classic mumford procedure using an arthroscopic approach. Pictures are shown to help the viewer understand the pathological process. In the end there are some X-rays presented with the results of the procedure. Presented by Dr. Clayton Lane.
