Shoulder Separation

A shoulder “separation” is when the collar bone (the clavicle) is completely torn away from its normal position next to the top of the shoulder blade (the acromion). The degree of separation is variable, and less severe cases usually only need medication. More significant separations, however, usually require surgical reconstruction. Many techniques exist for reconstruction of a separated shoulder, and Dr. Bushnell can discuss all of these options with you.
