Abstract
Acromioclavicular joint dissections (168) were performed on 85 cadavera, 46 men and 39 women, with an average age of 69, ranging from 18-92. The intra-articular discs and the joint cartilages were scrutinized and degenerative changes were graded macroscopically. An age-related disintegration of the disc and the joint cartilages was found. After the age of 70 maximum degeneration was very common.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
