AJSM Webinar Series - February 2023: AC Joint Dislocation - State of the Art in 2023

Course Information

The American Journal of Sports Medicine is proud to present the next installment in the American Journal of Sports Medicine Webinar series: "AC Joint Dislocation - State of the Art in 2023.” Dislocation of the AC joint is one of the most common acute shoulder injuries in sports. Treatment options still remain controversial worldwide. Despite an increasing number of studies, there are many controversies regarding diagnosis, classification, best initial treatment, and universally accepted and validated injury specific outcome scores. The international faculty of this AJSM live webinar consists of Berte Boe (Norway), Peter Millett (US), Augustus Mazzocca (US), Johannes Barth (France), Alexander van Tongel (Belgium), Markus Scheibel (Switzerland) and will be moderated by Knut Beitzel (Germany).

The aim of the webinar is to discuss the recent developments of decision making regarding indication, conservative treatment options, surgical technique, and revision strategy. Join our faculty of worldwide experts in their case-based discussion and learn from their answers to these important questions.
