Simultaneous mid third clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a rare combination injury, as a result of high-energy trauma. We report a patient with a middle third clavicle fracture and ipsilateral grade three-acromioclavicular joint dislocation, which is a rare combination. The patient wanted to get back to work as soon as possible, so the fracture was fixed with recons...

background hook plates are used to treat acromioclavicular joint dislocations. our study took into consideration the patients’ outcome following treatment with clavicular hook plates retained for more than five months. objectives our aim was to assess the response to treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation by clavicular hook plate when retained for more than five months. patients and m...

background patients who have shoulder pain usually have compensatory or contributory deviation of shoulder motion during arm elevation. in the traditional scapulohumeral rhythm, the share of the acromioclavicular (ac) and the sternoclavicular (sc) joint movements and also the role of ac internal rotation angle are unknown. objectives the main purpose of this study was to measure and compare the...

background appropriate treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation is controversial. acroplate fixation is one of the most common treatment methods of acromioclavicular joint (acj) dislocation. based on the risk of re-dislocation after acroplate fixation, we assumed that combined fixation with an acroplate and a coracoclavicular screw helps improve the outcome. objectives the main purpose ...

Diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is a clinical diagnosis based on history and physical examination. Afflicted patients exhibit active and passive loss of motion in all planes and a positive capsular stretch sign. The effect of adhesive capsulitis on acromioclavicular biomechanics leading to tenderness has not been documented in the literature. This study reports on the incidence of acromioclavi...

BACKGROUND Few reconstructive methods to treat displaced acromioclavicular separations have been evaluated using kinematic data. HYPOTHESIS The modified Weaver-Dunn reconstruction restores intact acromioclavicular joint motion during passive scapular plane abduction. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Acromioclavicular joint motion was recorded during passive humeral elevat...

Traditional techniques for restoration of a separated acromioclavicular joint are afflicted with various complications and often lead to recurrent dislocation. Lately, anatomic as well as minimally-invasive repair techniques with major focus on restoration of the coracoclavicular ligaments have been described for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. We present a technique for an arthroscopic...

UNLABELLED We present a case of chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Rockwood type 5) in which the choice of acromioclavicular reconstruction using autogenous semitendinosus tendon graft was made due to its superiority in anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments, and the impact of postoperative rehabilitation on the recovery of this patient. We also discuss the ration...

We report our clinical experience using the modified Cadenat method to treat acromioclavicular joint dislocation, and discuss the usefulness of this method. This study examined 6 shoulders in 6 patients (5 males, 1 female) who were diagnosed with acromioclavicular joint dislocation and treated with the modified Cadenat method at our hospital. Average age at onset was 49.3 years (26-78 years), a...
