A longitudinal incision was created over the region of the left AC joint. At this time, sharp dissection was conducted down to the fascial plane. The fascial plane was then further incised, reflecting both the deltoid and the trapezial fascia and the distal aspect of the clavicle undermining the clavicle; at this time we simply proceeded excising the distal 1 cm of the clavicle with use of a reciprocal saw. With completion of this element of the procedure, the margins of the bone were otherwise unremarkable in gross appearance. It was also significant to note at this time the acromial end of the articulation was unremarkable.
