Introduction. Treatment of Rockwood Type 3 Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is controversial. We compared the long-term functional outcome of early repair of coracoclavicular ligament and internal fixation (Tension Band Wiring) with delayed reconstruction by modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for Type 3 dislocations. Method. Retrospective analysis of case records and telephone review to assess t...

OBJECTIVE To establish the anatomical relationship of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) located in the suprascapular notch, to the medial border of the base of the coracoid process, the acromial joint surface of the acromioclavicular joint and the anterolateral border of the acromion. METHODS We dissected 16 shoulders of 16 cadavers (9 males and 7 females). The distances from the suprascapular ne...

Objective This study aims to describe the surgical approach to such injuries and to present the clinical and functional outcomes obtained in a cohort of patients. Methods This is an observational retrospective study that included 153 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation, operated between 1999 and 2015. Clinical evaluation included the following outcomes: Constant functional...

Tuberculosis is a great masquerader presenting in varied forms and in atypical locations. The myriad presentations of tuberculosis may complicate its diagnosis. We present two cases of acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis treated with a regimen of antitubercular drugs for 18 months leading to a complete resolution of symptoms.

Background: Treatment of Acute Acromioclavicular joint injuries is controversial with varieties treatment modalities. Newer methods are expensive requiring additional cost and advance devices assistance. This technique demonstrates a very cost-effective (less than USD 25) method fixing suitable for developing nations.Methods: From Year 2021 to 2023 we have performed 14 cases (aged 35-65 years) ...

BACKGROUND Surgical treatments for acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation present with some complications. The present study was designed to evaluate the double-button fixation system in the management of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation. METHODS This cross sectional study, done between February 2011 to June 2014, consisted of 28 patients who underwent surgical management by the do...

INTRODUCTION: Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is a common injury among young athletes. Many previous studies have evaluated the acromioclavicular joint function by measuring the motion of clavicle and acromion [1]. However no report has ever referred to its function on the whole shoulder girdle. In this study, we measured and compared the motion of the shoulder girdle (scapula, clavi...

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations are common injuries of the shoulder girdle, especially in the young and active population. Typically the mechanism of this injury is a direct force against the lateral aspect of the adducted shoulder, the magnitude of which affects injury severity. While low-grade injuries are frequently managed successfully using non-surgical measures, high-grade injuri...

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) cysts are an uncommon and unusual sequela associated with shoulder pathophysiology. The majority of literature on ACJ cysts consists of individual case reports with no definitive literature review currently available. In addition to a comprehensive literature review, four clinical cases are presented in this report. First described by Craig (1984), a total of 41 ca...
