Following non-operative treatment for an arthritic AC joint, an AC joint resection may be discussed. This procedure is done as a keyhole operation and involves removing a segment of bone at the end of the clavicle (collarbone). Resection of a painful AC joint is very effective in relieving pain.

Patients with calcific tendinitis and large calcium lumps can be treated with an arthroscopic excision of the calcium deposit. This may also be performed in conjunction with an acromioplasty. The region of tendon with the calcium inside it can usually be identified by the visualisation of an inflamed area of tendon. The location can be …
