Question

A soccer player is tripped to the ground on a hard tackle and lands on the tip of her left shoulder. She complains of pain both in the tip of her shoulder and in her chest. She has difficulty lifting her arm above her shoulder because of the pain. What injury diagnosis might she have?

Answer 1

The acromioclavicular joint (AC) can be described as a joint which is present on the top of the shoulder. Sternoclavicular (SC) is the joint which is present between the sternum and clavicle bone. Falling on the tip of hr left shoulder determines a sprain injury in both the acromioclavicular joint (AC) sand ternoclavicular (SC) joint. Her complaining reflects that a clavicular fracture might have occured.
