The effect of acromioclavicular joint degeneration on orthopedic shoulder tests.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) degeneration on orthopedic shoulder tests (OST) and to determine complementary role of ACJ injections in the treatment of subacromial shoulder impingements.

Patients And Methods: At a secondary care center, 62 patients (56 females, 6 males; mean age 55.8±9.
