Here is an illustration of what poor "Steve" has done to his shoulder. He originally had told me he didn't know what "type" of AC joint separation he had...there are different degrees/types. But I looked on his referral last night and right there is was...3rd degree AC joint separation, which is not great news!
"In a type III injury, both the AC and CC ligaments are completely torn. The collarbone and the acromion are completely separated."
He has an appointment Friday morning with the orthopedic doctor...so we will see what they say. Poor guy! He is now in a sling to keep his arm somewhat immobile.

Holy cow. That is scary. That will be quite the miracle if it heals on its own with no surgery!!!
