Coronal T2-weighted fat-saturated MR image shows type II acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Note disruption of all ligamentous fibers around acromioclavicular joint. Sagittal T2-fat-saturated MR image shows edematous fluid around the coracoclavicular ligaments (rupture of conoid and trapezoid ligaments).

- coracoclavicular ligament complex (conoid and trapezoid ligament) has signs of rupture
- blood and fluid are seen in the coracoclavicular interspace
