The quote about the Weaver-Dunn procedure only being 50% successful ought to be referenced. It may be the case with the strict "Weaver-Dunn" but I've heard of Modified Weaver-Dunn surgeries being 75% to 95% succesful. Unfortunately, I can't prove this sucess rate, but on most papers or abstracts I've read, the success rate is much higher, although it is short turn. Even take a look here Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using Gore-Tex Tape (Stone Clinic) Almost all surgeries listed at the bottom mention a good majority having either Excellent or Good results. 24.0.33.86 15:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The last edits I made make this article more about acromioclavicular joint separations than about the joint itself. Is there an easy way (other than copying/pasting that will split the article into "separated shoulder" and Acromioclavicular joint? I want to create a new page but I don't want ot loose the edit history. Root4(one) 17:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Moved injury section to Separated shoulder. Anybody objecting please object here. Root4(one) 20:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] type of joint

It says in the article that the AC joint is a pivot joint. I believe it is a gliding synovial joint, so I changed that paragraph. Provophys 22:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
