Distal Clavicle Excision (Resection) involves removing a small portion of the distal clavicle to relieve pain associated with the acromioclavicular joint. It is commonly considered when persistent AC joint symptoms continue despite measures such as activity modification, medication, injections, or physiotherapy. The surgeon carefully removes the affected bone while preserving the important stabilizing structures around the joint. Depending on the patient's condition, arthroscopy may be used to perform the procedure through small incisions, followed by gradual rehabilitation and strengthening.
