separated shoulder
Acromioclavicular ligament tear
A separated shoulder is an injury where the ligaments connecting the collarbone to the shoulder blade are torn or stretched, causing the joint to shift out of alignment.
Despite the name, the shoulder ball-and-socket joint itself remains intact—the separation occurs at the acromioclavicular joint on top of the shoulder.
He suffered a separated shoulder in the collision and was out for six weeks.
