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.

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.
