The Purpose of this Exhibit is: 1. To explain the role imaging plays in diagnosing various post-traumatic, degenerative, inflammatory and developmental conditions. 2. To allow the viewer to gain an understanding of the important clinical implications and treatment options related to various pathologic conditions of the AC joint and how a correct imaging diagnosis can lead to more focused and effective therapy. 3. To review variant and pathologic developmental anatomy of the AC joint.

1. Normal Anatomy of the AC Joint a. CT, MR, Radiography, US 2. Variant and Developmental Anatomy of the AC Joint a. Os Acromiale b. Acromion shapes 3. AC Joint Pathogy a. Acute Trauma (AC joint Separation, Fracture) b. Repetitive Trauma (Stress Reaction, Distal Clavicular Stress Fracture, Osteolysis) c. Subacomial Impingement d. AC Joint Arthrosis (Degenerative, Inflammatory) e. Systemic Disease Affecting the AC Joint 4. Sample Imaging Cases 5. Summary
