Seperated my shoulder - Page 3 - Snowboarding Forum

I separated my shoulder 3 year ago. Tore all the ligaments and just felt like my shoulder was floating. Didn't actually hurt to much but the specialist I went to recommended surgery. Glad I chose that since I have pretty much all of my mobility back, still gets sore sometimes. Good luck with the recovery and definitely stay on top of the PT.

Feel sorry for the OP and hope he recovers fast from it.

What is the (proper) name of this injury? Is it called shoulder separation?

Grade 2 Acromioclavicular sprain

Yeah I just looked at my pictures and definitely had a Type 3 separation. My collar bone was sitting close to 2 inches out of place.

well there's 2 classifications
grades 123
or Types 1-6
Grades usually refers to the ligament sprain (sprain = ligament tear)
So grade 3 = coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular ligament rupture.

Types gets a little more detailed on the positioning and stuff.

Sucks. My friend broke his collar bone the other day while skiing on an iced up box. He even tripped down the stairs and had to catch himself on his right arm, which was the broken side.
