Abstract

Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis often occur and easily missed. We reported excellent results with arthroscopic resection of the distal end of the clavicle in patients with this disorder. Arthroscopic treatment of this disorder produces more favourable results than open procedures. We report 20 patients who were not responding to conservative management and were treated with direct arthroscopic distal clavicle excision. All patients gained good postoperative outcome in terms of pain score, function and strength improvement assessed objectively with Constant score and ASES score.
