Osseous analysis: There is minimal fluid located within the AC joint and minor edema present within the distal clavicle and the acromion process. There is mild AC joint hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. The acromion process is congruent with the humeral head. The arch ligaments are intact. Bone cortical and marrow signal intensity appropriate.

AC Joint Arthropathy Shoulder Anatomy The AC joint is located at the tip of the shoulder where the shoulder blade (scapula) and collarbone (clavicle) come together at a point called the acromion – on the upper surface of the shoulder blade. These two bones are held together by tough, sinewy tissues-ligaments that tie the bones together.
the AC joint region while verbally describing their symp-toms. A symptomatic AC joint is often prominent due to osteophyte formation, but an abnormal physical appear-ance of the AC joint does not always correlate with symp-toms. A passive adduction crossover maneuver, which compresses the joint, generally will precipitate pain. If the
Acromio-clavicular joint (AC joint) pain is often referred to as “AC degeneration”. It occurs more in males than in females and is often related to sport, eg. rugby and others where repeated falls on the shoulder may lead to direct impact and damage of this small joint on top of the shoulder. It is not uncommon to see this condition in ...

tation. Joint disorganization and large persistent bloody joint effusion are features of both atrophic and hypertrophic types of neuropathic osteoar-thropathy, and, when severe, both types exhibit disorganization more profound than that seen in other forms of arthropathy. Milder degrees of the disease, however, may be difficult to diagnose.
