This module covers the pathoaetiology, natural history, diagnosis and management of acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joint conditions.
There are 4 lessons in this module that begin with the diagnosis of acromioclavicular joint pain and are then divided according to evidence for specific management of AC and SC joint conditions.
1. Diagnosis of acromioclavicular joint pain
The ability to first differentiate the AC joint as the source of pain, then sub-differente specific pathologies that vary significantly in both investigations, management and prognosis, is essential in the effective management of AC joint conditions.
In this lesson, we cover:
2. Acromioclavicular joint instability
AC joint instability is a common injury, with varying correlations between symptoms and grade of injury. In this lesson, we look at the classification of AC joint instability and how this guides management.
In this lesson, we cover:
3. Acromioclavicular joint arthropathy
The two most common arthropathies affecting the acromioclavicular joint are osteoarthritis and osteloysis. In this lesson we look at the differences in the pathoaetiology, diagnosis and management of both these conditions.
In this lesson, we cover:
4. The Sternoclavicular Joint
The sternoclavicular joint can be affected by a wide range of primary pathologies, and is involved in a number of systemic disease processes. Differential diagnosis is critical in identifying red flags and guiding appropriate medical and non-surgical management.
In this lesson, we cover:
