📝Acromioclavocular joint (ACJ) separation injuries are an extremely common shoulder injury for athletes. This is due to the mechanisms of injury, which is usually a direct force or fall to the acromion (outside of the shoulder) with the arm across the body (in adduction). This could be landing on your shoulder with your arm by your side, which is fairly common in tackle sports such as football or rugby.
