Episode #23: Acromiclavicular Joint Injuries with Prof. Duncan Reid
My time #abroad is complete, so now it's time to get back into some more 'regular' episodes!
Today I spoke with Prof. Duncan Reid, who is based out of Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand, where he is heavily involved in teaching and research.
Duncan has over 40 years of experience as a physio, ranging from owning a private practice, to being involved in multiple Olympic and Commonwealth Games, to supervising PhD students. His extensive background in teaching really shines through in his ability to explain the ACJ today!
We speak about the role and anatomy of the ACJ, the Rockwood Classification System, when to operate on ACJ injuries, principles of rehabilitation and much more.
