CONT

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.
