How long does it take to recover from grade 3 ac joint seperation surgery?

AC separation: Grade 3 ac separations will generally heal in 6-8 weeks. It may, however, take you longer to be comfortable lifting weights with your arm. Working out may often require 3 months of rest.

AC SEPARATION: Typically an AC JOINT separation can be treated conservatively when it is only a type 2 or 3. Treatment consists of therapy to regain motion after a short period in a sling. If pain persists or you have pain with activities then sometimes surgical intervention is warranted. Consult an Orthopaedic surgeon for a complete work up. Hope this information is helpful.
