Distal Clavicle Excision (Resection) is a surgical procedure in which a small portion of the outer end of the collarbone is removed to reduce painful contact at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It may be considered for patients with AC joint arthritis or persistent pain that does not respond adequately to conservative treatment. The procedure can be performed using an arthroscopic or open approach, depending on the patient's condition. Rehabilitation focuses on gradually restoring shoulder movement and strength.

At Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital, Distal Clavicle Excision (resection) is performed using advanced shoulder surgery techniques and individualized treatment planning. Established in 2011, the NABH, ISO accredited hospital in Delhi, India has 230 beds and provides comprehensive orthopedic and rehabilitation services.
Distal Clavicle Excision (Resection) may be recommended when degeneration or inflammation of the AC joint causes persistent localized shoulder pain, particularly with overhead or cross-body movements. During surgery, the surgeon removes a small amount of bone from the distal end of the clavicle, creating space within the joint and reducing painful bone-on-bone contact. The surrounding ligaments are preserved as much as possible to maintain shoulder stability. Physiotherapy after surgery helps restore range of motion and function.
