CLINICAL RELEVANCE OF ACJ PROBLEMS IN THE PAINFUL SHOULDER:
ACJ changes are often identified on imaging (X-ray and MRI). However, they do not cause clinical symptoms as often as their radiological occurrence. Ballotment of the ACJ, cross adduction and outer range of elevation pain at the ACJ will distinguish those patients who have a clinically relevant and painful ACJ.
