Case: This case report describes 3 patients who developed acromioclavicular joint cysts secondary to rotator cuff arthropathy. The patients underwent arthroscopic cyst decompression and distal clavicle resection, resulting in successful excision of the cyst and minimal cyst recurrence.
Conclusion: Based on these cases, arthroscopic cyst decompression with concomitant distal clavicle resection should be considered as an effective alternative to serial aspirations or open cyst excision and distal clavicle resection.
