An acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation is a common injury among active individuals. This occurs when the clavicle (collarbone) becomes detached from the scapula (shoulder blade). It is typically caused by a direct impact to the shoulder's tip or a forceful blow, often during contact sports. Athletes like football players and cyclists, particularly those who fall over handlebars, are especially prone to AC joint separations.
How long recovery after AC joint separation repair takes depends on the treatment method and severity of the injury. Typically, the photofacial recovery time is only 4 to 6 weeks. Surgical surgery takes a longer recovery, often taking 2 to 3 months. Rehabilitation for high-impact sports or activities can stretch to six months or longer.
