An important educational pearl he imparts on his patients is the difference between shoulder “separation” and shoulder “dislocation.”

Getting into the basics, the insightful article states that shoulder separation is an injury to the ligaments that surround the AC joint (the AC and CC ligaments). These injuries can range from mild sprains of these ligaments (Types 1 and 2) to complete disruption and separation of the clavicle from the acromion (Types 3-5). Types 4 and 5 are more severe injuries and are treated with surgical repair or reconstruction of the CC and AC ligaments.

On the other hand, a shoulder dislocation is the actual dislocation of the ball (upper humerus) off of the socket (glenoid). Common amongst younger adolescent athletes, it usually stems from a traumatic injury with the arm in an elevated (abduction) and externally rotated position. Understanding the difference is crucial to determine treatment options.
