BACKGROUND Reconstruction of the disrupted acromioclavicular (AC) joint has historically resulted in high complication rates. As a result, there has been a move toward anatomic coracoclavicular (CC) ligament fixation and reconstruction, owing to its numerous biomechanical advantages and perceived clinical advantages. PURPOSE To report and analyze the unique complications associated with these...

To identify the demographics and characteristics of operative acromioclavicular joint separations, as well characterize reconstruction techniques associated complications. The United States Military Health System Data Repository was queried for patients with a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code coracoclavicular ligament between October 2013 March 2020.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the shoulder function after clavicular hook plate fixation of acute acromioclavicular dislocations (Rockwood type III) in a population group consisting exclusively of high-demand military personnel. This prospective study was carried out at a tertiary care military orthopaedic centre during 2012-2013 using clavicular hook plate for management of acromioclavi...
