INTRODUCTION Numerous techniques have been introduced for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. We aim to report the midterm results of coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization with double augmentation for the acute AC joint dislocation. CASE DESCRIPTION Forty-three patients who underwent surgery for acute AC joint dislocation were followed up for an average of 59.6 mont...

We report two sibs with a similar syndrome of abnormal external ears, peculiar facial features, nail hypoplasia, a bilateral fibrous fusion of the outer third of the clavicle and the scapular spine, and the absence of a normal acromioclavicular joint. The present patients represent the fourth and fifth cases of the oto-onycho-peroneal syndrome (MIM 259780).

BACKGROUND Among coracoclavicular (CC) fixation techniques, the use of flip button device was demonstrated to have successful outcomes with the advantage of being able to accommodate an arthroscopic procedure. PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the factors associated with loss of fixation after arthroscopically assisted CC fixation using a single flip button device for acromiocla...

Joint centre locations can be determined using imaging, bony landmarks and functional methods. Using intracortical pins, CT-scan and skin markers, sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC) and glenohumeral (GH) joints were located and compared for four participants. The use of skin and pin markers led to inconsistent results for SC and AC joints, while bony landmarks and CT based locations ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the security and effectiveness of AO/ASIF clavicle hook plate in the treatment of distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint dislocations. METHODS One hundred patients with distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint dislocations who were admitted in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2013 were selected as the study s...

Introduction. Acromioclavicular joint has an important role in the shoulder function. Loss of function due to injury or disease affects biomechanics shoulder. The aim this study was evaluate results surgical treatment acromioclavicular injuries, identify risk groups within age groups, and indicate most common mechanisms injury. Material Methods. A retrospective included 20 patients with We anal...
