The purpose of this study was to analyze the capsular and ligamentous insertions about the acromioclavicular (AC) joint to determine the amount of bone that can be removed without destabilizing the joint. ⋯ These anatomic measurements suggest that AC joint resections (5 to 7 mm) with 2 to 3 mm from the acromial side and 3 to 4 mm from the clavicular side will not disrupt the stabilizing ligaments of the AC joint after distal clavicle resection.
