In the past four years we have been fortunate in encountering twenty-seven cases of complete acromio-clavicular dislocation (Fig. 1)...

Modified Internal Fixation Technique for Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint dislocation: The “Hidden Knot Technique”

This joint is stabilized by both static and dynamic structures including the coracoclavicular (CC)ligament. Most reconstruction techniques focus on CC ligament augmentation as the primary stabilizer of the AC joint.The best surgical technique for some ...

Isolated synovial cyst of the acromio-clavicular joint associated with joint degeneration and an intact rotator cuff.

The majority of acromioclavicular joint cysts are the manifestation of underlying pathology of the rotator cuff. A chronic rotator cuff tear should be the first option in differential diagnosis, when facing such a condition, although this is not always the case. A case of a 67-year-old male patient, who abruptly developed a painless lump over his right acromioclavicular joint, is presented. Ima...
