Anatomy
of the AC joint
Note the position of the "coraco-clavicular
ligament" (CC Lig).
This is a very important ligament in supporting the clavicle
and therefore maintaining the position of the acromio-clavicular
joint (AC Jt)

and acromion

In a grade 3
dislocation of the AC Jt the CC Lig is completely torn ant
the AC JT is therefore dislocated.

of the acute dislocation of the AC Jt is performed using a
dissolvable PDS tape. The
tape is passed around the coracoid and the clavicle. |
