Comparison of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Treatment by Screw Fixation with and without Ligament Reconstruction

Background & Aims: Acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is common in shoulder injuries. Considering the biomechanics of this joint, the use of a treatment method, which can restore joint physiology and biomechanics to the extent possible, is important. This study aimed to compare the treatment of acute AC joint dislocation by screw fixation with and without ligament reconstruction. Me...

Acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint.

Operative Treatment of Acute Acromioclavicular Dislocation

For treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation we chose operative treatment in which we fixed clavicule to coracoid with a screw. With regard to the clinical results, out of 6 patients who had gone under operation, only one had calcification at coracoclavicular ligament without limitation of motion. There were no serious postoperative complication. 

Acromioclavicular joint dislocation: pathology, diagnosis and management

Dislocation is the most common injury affecting the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Six grades of AC joint dislocation are currently described, based on the degree and direction, of displacement. Complete rupture of both the AC and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments is considered to be necessary before complete grade 3 dislocation of the AC joint can occur. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the clin...
