A simple X-ray can be misleading 🤫.⠀ ⠀ Some types of clavicle (collarbone) fractures are a lot worse than the may look with a simple x-ray. When the displacement is in the plane of the x-ray it can’t be seen.⠀ This is not a problem for fractures in the hand and wrist when you can take an x-ray from any angle. But that’s not possible in the shoulder. Only a CT scan can provide the complete perspective 🤓.⠀ ⠀ When the clavicle breaks close to the end of the bone 🦴 (called a distal clavicle fracture) it causes a lot of displacement in much the same way and same pattern as an AC joint separation.⠀ ⠀ The shoulder is pulled forward relative to the main part of the bone and it won’t heal!! 😯⠀ ⠀ The solution is much like an AC joint separation. The #closedloopdoubleendobutton puts things back in alignment so that the fracture heals. ⠀ ⠀ The best part is that a big plate is not necessary and neither is a second operation to take out the plate after the bone heals. 👍⠀ ⠀ Learn more about the breakthrough surgery on the website. 🔜⠀ ⠀ Click on the link in the bio⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⠀ ⠀ #rsgcommunity⠀ #acjoint⠀ #BrokenShoulder⠀ #separatedshoulder⠀ #ACJointSeparation⠀ #ACJointInjury ⠀ #ACJointSurgery⠀ #BreakthroughACJointSurgery ⠀ #biking⠀ #cycling⠀ #mountainbike⠀ #mountainbiking⠀ #biking⠀ #mountainbiking⠀ #cyclinginjury⠀ #newyorkcity⠀ #physicaltherapy⠀ #rehabilitation⠀ #orthopedicsurgeon⠀ #orthopedicsurgery⠀ #shoulderinjury⠀ #shoulderpain⠀ #shouldersurgery⠀ #sportsdoc⠀ #sportsmedicine⠀ #ipreview via @preview.app$

What you do RIGHT AFTER an injury is REALLY IMPORT $What you do RIGHT AFTER an injury is REALLY IMPORTANT!!📣 . Ac joint injuries are typically evaluated in the emergency room by and an ER doctor. The deformity is obvious and the key thing that is important to know is whether its just a dislocation or a fracture or both. . But knowing the SEVERITY of the injury really matters! . Initial treatment recommendations are based on the amount of displacement and there is a grading system. The grading system requires getting an x-ray of the NORMAL side so a measurement can be made comparing the displacement of the injured side relative to the normal one. . If you just x-ray the injured side then the doctor is just GUESSING at the grade of the injury and you may get the wrong advice🤔🤔. . Severe injuries generally fare poorly without surgery and if you were told you had a “grade 3 “ injury and just need “rehab” you might be getting bad advice and wasting a lot of time. . If you get injured insist on a FULL x-ray evaluation to determine the severity of injury before embarking on a treatment plan. . Surgery may or may not be your best option but EARLY SURGERY may improve your outcome and you should get expert advice from an orthopedic surgeon, preferably a shoulder specialist as soon as possible after your ER visit. . Don’t delay!⬇️⬇️⬇️ . The right treatment whether it be surgery or rehab will get you back to a full recovery and full return to all the fun stuff that caused this in the first place.🚴‍♂️ 🚵‍♀️⚽🏂😀 . #acjoint #BrokenShoulder #separatedshoulder #ACJointSeparation #ACJointInjury #ACJointSprain #ACJointSurgery #cyclinginjury #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedicsurgery #kneereplacement #shoulderinjury #shoulderpain #shouldersurgery #sportsdoc #sportsmedicine #testimonials #bigapple #biking #cycling #mountainbike #mountainbiking #ipreview via @preview.app$
