Shoulder injuries are common, but acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations can be tricky to manage. In this episode, we break down everything PTs need to know:

• A quick anatomy review of the AC joint
• Common mechanisms of injury (like falls or impact sports)
• How to identify an AC joint separation clinically
• The Rockwood classification system for grading injuries
• Treatment strategies based on injury severity (non-op vs. surgical)

By the end of this episode, you'll feel confident spotting and managing AC joint separations effectively in the clinic. 🎧
