The acromioclavicular, or AC joint is a joint in the shoulder connects two bones. The collarbone, also known as the clavicle, is one of these bones. The second bone is actually a component of the shoulder blade (scapula), which is the large bone behind the shoulder that also serves as a component of the shoulder joint.
An AC joint injury is most commonly caused by trauma, such as a fall directly on the outside of the shoulder.
Overuse (repeated overhead lifting of heavy weights or objects with poor mechanics) can also result in an AC joint injury.
Injury to the AC joint is most common in people under the age of 35.
Mild injuries have no significant morbidity, but severe injuries can result in significant loss of shoulder strength and function. Examining AC joint injuries is therefore harmful for this reason.
Ultrasonography is frequently used in this setting to quickly locate the source of the pain and determine the best treatment. Several ultrasound devices are used by orthopedists in this regard, with the USB Linear 6-15MHz Ultrasound Scanner USB-UL3 being highly recommended by our technical medical team due to its frequency range and different scanning mode, which provides real-time guidance during the assessment.
The device is a USB 6-5MHz Linear Ultrasound Probe SIFULTRAS-9.54 with a Linear array Transducer with multiple frequencies ranging from 6 to 15MHz and a scanning mode of B,B+B,B+m with high-resolution imaging for superficial applications such as Vascular, and particularly Superficial, Muskuloskeletal, and so on.
The USB-UL3 is highly recommended for pain relief. It is unquestionably effective when used in conjunction with a puncture, injection guidance, and interventional therapy. These are the specific treatments/procedures required to control Ac joint pain.
AC joint injuries are extremely painful, and the initial treatment is to alleviate the pain. Because it is designed to manage pain, the S USB-UL3 IFULTRAS-9.54 can aid in the healing process.
