Dislocation of acromioclavicular joint - what does this mean

Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint occurs when the joint between the clavicle and the scapula is forced out of its normal position due to an injury or trauma, such as a fall, a direct blow to the shoulder, or a sudden twist of the upper arm. this can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the shoulder.

What happens during the disease - dislocation of acromioclavicular joint

Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is caused by a traumatic force that is greater than the joint can withstand, such as a fall onto the shoulder or direct impact from a sports-related injury. the force causes the joint to stretch or tear the ligaments and muscles that hold the joint together, resulting in the joint becoming misaligned and dislocated. in some cases, the force can also cause the joint capsule to tear, leading to further instability.
