Is it just me or does anyone else think calling torn ligaments a sprain is dumb? 

Great news

A Grade 3 AC joint sprain (shoulder separation) involves a complete tear of both the acromioclavicular (AC) and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, causing the collarbone (clavicle) to significantly elevate, creating a visible bump, and is treated with rest, ice, sling, and physical therapy, though surgery may be considered for athletes or laborers needing full strength and cosmesis. Recovery generally takes weeks to months, with potential for surgery if conservative treatment fails, especially for higher demands.
