Are you suffering from pain, swelling, or instability in your shoulder after a fall or sports injury? AC Joint Fixation Surgery in Lucknow, performed by Dr. Yogesh Jain, offers an advanced solution to restore shoulder alignment, stability, and strength. With expertise in arthroscopic and trauma surgeries, Dr. Jain ensures precise treatment that helps patients regain mobility and return to their active lifestyle.
The acromioclavicular (AC) joint connects the collarbone (clavicle) to the highest point of the shoulder blade (acromion). Injuries to this joint—commonly called a shoulder separation—occur due to trauma, falls, or direct blows to the shoulder, especially in athletes.
In severe cases, ligaments around the AC joint are torn, leading to misalignment and instability. AC Joint Fixation Surgery involves stabilizing the joint using sutures, screws, or specialized implants, allowing the ligaments to heal and restoring shoulder function.
Unlike traditional methods, Dr. Jain uses advanced approaches such as the Sub-Vastus Technique and minimally invasive knee replacement, ensuring smaller scars, less pain, and quicker recovery.
Common Causes:
Falls directly onto the shoulder
Sports injuries (cycling, football, wrestling, etc.)
Road accidents or high-impact trauma
Heavy lifting or repetitive strain
Recognizing Symptoms:
Pain at the top of the shoulder
Swelling or visible bump over the joint
Difficulty lifting or moving the arm overhead
Instability or weakness in the shoulder
Pain worsening during physical activity
Anesthesia – General or regional anesthesia for comfort.
Incision/Arthroscopy – Small incision or arthroscopic access to the joint.
Joint Realignment – The clavicle is repositioned to its normal place.
Fixation – Stabilization using screws, sutures, or special implants.

Expertise in Trauma & Sports Injuries – Specialized training in shoulder fixation surgeries.

The cost of surgery varies depending on:
Type of implant (standard or advanced)

Duration of hospital stay
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation needs
While costs may differ, opting for an experienced surgeon in a reputed hospital ensures better outcomes and fewer complications. Patients should also explore health insurance coverage, as many policies include joint replacement procedures.
Recovery depends on the severity of injury and treatment approach:
First 2 Weeks: Shoulder immobilization in a sling, pain control, and swelling reduction.
Weeks 2–6: Gradual physiotherapy to restore mobility.
Weeks 6–12: Strengthening exercises to stabilize the joint.
3–6 Months: Return to sports and heavy activities after full recovery.
Regular physiotherapy and follow-ups with Dr. Jain ensure safe and complete healing.
