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.

Distal Clavicle Excision (Resection) is used to treat selected cases of painful AC joint degeneration, arthritis, or related conditions when non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Through small arthroscopic portals or an open incision, the surgeon removes a limited portion of the distal clavicle to eliminate abnormal contact within the joint. The goal is to reduce pain while preserving shoulder movement and stability. The recovery plan depends on the surgical approach and any additional procedures performed.
