Surgical Treatment of Acromio-Clavicular Joint Dislocation and Distal Clavicular Fracture with Wolter Clavicular Plate.

Complete dislocation of the acromio-clavicular joint.

(‘omplete dislocation of the acromio-clavicular joint is not a common injury. A review of the literature fails to disclose a carefully followed series numbering more than twenty-five identically treated cases. Treatment is indeed varied, and end-results uncertain. In the past four years we have been fortunate in encountering twenty-seven cases of complete acromio-clavicular dislocation (Fig. 1)...

Surgical treatment of chronic dislocation of the sterno-clavicular joint.

The costo-clavicular ligament is always ruptured in dislocation at the sterno-clavicular joint. Anterior, superior or posterior displacement of the medial end of the clavicle may occur. Acute dislocation usually responds to conservative treatment and operation is seldom required. Chronic, or recurrent, dislocation may cause pain and disability on strenuous activity and necessitate surgical trea...

Anatomic considerations in arthroscopic reconstruction of the coraco-clavicular ligament in patients with acromio-clavicular joint dislocation

Acromion Clavicular Joint Reconstruction with LARS Ligament in Acute Dislocation

Background: The acromion clavicular joint dislocations are common injuries of the shoulder. The severity is dependentupon the degree of ligamentous injury. Surgical treatment is typically performed in higher grade acromioclavicularseparation with several static and dynamic operative procedures with or without primary ligament replacement.Methods: 47 patients with acute Rockwood type III, IV, an...

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

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common and often seen in contact athletes, resulting from a fall on the shouldertip with adducted arm. 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 ...
