Abstract

Acromioclavicular joint arthritis is a relatively common source of shoulder pain. The treatment options consist of conservative management and operative intervention depending on the severity and duration of the disease. Distal clavicle excision is the standard operative treatment and can be performed through either open or arthroscopic techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic resection of the distal clavicle.
