Modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for acromioclavicular joint dislocations.

The acromioclavicular joint is commonly affected by trauma to the shoulder girdle due to its subcutaneous position. Athletes who participate in contact sports, such as hockey, football, rugby, and soccer, are particularly susceptible to such injuries. These injuries, however, also occur during noncontact sports such as baseball, skiing, and cycling. The majority of acromioclavicular injuries oc...

Acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint.

Locked Superior Dislocation of the Acromioclavicular Joint

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries account for approximately 3-5% of shoulder girdle injuries (Rockwood et al., 1998). Depending on severity of injury and direction of displacement these are classified using Rockwood classification system for AC joint dislocation. We present an unusual case presenting with locked superior dislocation of the AC joint highlighting the presentation and subseque...

Therapeutic results of the modified Cadenat procedure for acromioclavicular joint separations compared with the modified Dewar procedure.

AIM AND BACKGROUND The surgical treatment for acromioclavicular joint dislocations is recommended for Rockwood's classification types 4, 5 and 6. In this study we evaluate the therapeutic results of the modified Cadenat procedure on type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocation, and report on a comparative study of the modified Dewar procedure also on type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocation. ...
