Medical Definition of Acromioclavicular sprain
1.
A shoulder injury where the ligaments which stabilise the articulation of the acromion process and the clavicle become torn (sprain).
A classic lump deformity is noted on the top contour of the shoulder in more serious sprains. Acromioclavicular separations occur most often after a direct fall onto the shoulder. Severe sprains may result in acromioclavicular dislocation.
