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.
