Classification and mechanism of acromial-clavicular joint damage
The article presents modern classifications of injuries of the acromioclavicular joint, as well as the mechanism of their occurrence. Modern classifications should take into account the degree of damage to the ligamentous apparatus, the type of displacement of the clavicle and morphological changes occurring in the surrounding tissues of the ACS and the shoulder girdle. The values of the classification of injuries are shown when choosing a rational treatment for injuries of the acromioclavicular joint. Knowledge of the mechanism of damage allows the specialist to predict the nature and severity of damage to the structures of the joint. The importance of the nature of the traumatic force in case of damage to the acromioclavicular joint is noted.
