The most common cause of an acromioclavicular(AC) joint separation is a fall on the shoulder. As the shoulder strikes the ground, the force from the fall pushes the scapula down. The collarbone, because it is attached to the rib cage, cannot move down enough to follow th motion of the scapula. Something has to give, and the ligaments around the acromioclavicular(AC) joint begin to tear-separating, or dislocating, the joint. 2, record 3, English, - joint%20separation

La dislocation acromio-claviculaire, véritablement omo-claviculaire, est la conséquence de la rupture des ligaments acromio-claviculaires et coraco-claviculaires, aggravée par la déchirure de la chape delto-trapézienne due à l'ascension de l'extrémité distale de la clavicule devenue sous-cutanée. Il existe alors une instabilité globale de la ceinture scapulaire et une impotence fonctionnelle sévère du moignon de l'épaule qui justifie le traitement chirurgical. 1, record 5, French, - dislocation%20acromio%2Dclaviculaire
