Description: Purpose. To determine whether increasing age is
associated with increased radiological features of
osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) in
a general population, and whether clinical symptoms
correlate with radiological features.Conclusion. Radiological features should only be used as an adjunct in the decision to excise the ACJ. A thorough clinical examination is crucial in the assessment of ACJ pathology.
