This intersection is also called the acromioclavicular or AC joint. When these ligaments partially or completely tear, the clavicle slips forward and may detach

A shoulder separation is not truly an injury to the shoulder joint. The injury actually involves the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. The AC joint is where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the highest point of the shoulder blade (acromion).
A shoulder separation is an injury to the acromioclavicular joint on the top of the shoulder. The shoulder joint is formed at the junction of three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula), and the arm bone (humerus).
A separated shoulder, also known as acromioclavicular joint injury, is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint.
