Distal Clavicle Excision

Distal Clavicle Excision

If you’re dealing with shoulder pain and restricted movement due to arthritis or injury, and less invasive treatments have proven ineffective, your surgeon might recommend a distal clavicle excision. This surgical procedure involves removing the outer end of the collarbone (clavicle) to prevent the bones from rubbing together and causing pain. The distal clavicle excision can be performed arthroscopically, using a small tube inserted into the body for removal or through open surgery. Arthroscopic methods are preferred for quicker recovery time and smaller incisions, ensuring a more positive experience for the patient.
