acromioclavicular joint

It's a simple and practical question, I guess.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was analyze or identify predictor factors for achieving interoperative over-reduction in this setting, acute AC joint dislocation, and to evaluate its impact, radiographic impact, on medium-term maintenance of reduction.

What did you find?

Well, uh, the primary outcomes to evaluate this association were, were over-reduction, loss of reduction more than five millimeters, and the position of the tunnel with the ratio and the angle between both tunnels.

It's also changed how I talk to the resident who refer, uh, this patient to me because I prefer to see this patient in days and not weeks.

One of the things that we commonly see, at least we collectively believe, is that 14 to 21 days, that's your window for repair, right? That's something that we've all observed.

What do you think happens in that second week that prevents over-reduction? Is it scar tissue? Is it fixed capsular, uh, contracture of the AC joint?

Yeah, yeah.

The dude's probably not going to play.

If you listen to Kirk Ferentz yesterday, if you listen to Hank Brown himself, he's got a shoulder injury, an AC joint.

I have no idea what an AC joint is.

So you know what, you know who I call when I need to know what an AC joint is? An AC joint? An AC joint.

Had no idea what an AC joint was.

Is it like an ACL? No, that no.

You would think, right? You hear the AC, you're like, well, it's just another part of the AC of the knee.

I'm not an orthopedic surgeon.
