Abstract
Management of acromioclavicular separations remains controversial. A variety of surgical techniques have been described, but no clear consensus has formed regarding optimal treatment. As these techniques have evolved, so have the complication profiles. This review aims provide a review of the complications following management of acromioclavicular joint injections based on the chosen surgical technique. Complications of nonsurgical treatment will also be highlighted. Evidence-based strategies for minimizing complications are provided to allow surgeons to optimize both their preoperative patient discussion and intraoperative decision making.
