Distal clavicle fractures are common in patients with shoulder injuries. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical outcomes of a novel fixation technique using miniature locking plate single button distal associated coracoclavicular ligament disruption. The study involved seven follow-up period 12 months. All were diagnosed type IIb according to Neer classification. fracture was fixed plate, an...

INTRODUCTION Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations are common injuries seen in athletes or laborers in which the AC capsule and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments are both ruptured [1]. Both surgical and conservative treatments have similar outcomes [2], with both treatments having no guidelines for rehabilitation. The CC ligaments, trapezoid and conoid, have greater structural properties than ...

Acromioclavicular separation is a common athletic shoulder injury. While many can be treated nonoperatively, high-grade injuries can result in pain and loss of shoulder function. While numerous operative techniques have been proposed, a recent renewed focus on the anatomy of the coracoclavicular ligaments has led to anatomic reconstructive techniques that show promise in biomechanical compariso...

Coracoid fractures are uncommon, mostly occur at the base or neck of the coracoid process (CP), and typically present with ipsilateral acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. However, CP avulsion fractures at the coracoclavicular ligament (CCL) attachment with ACJ dislocation have not been previously reported. A 59-year-old woman receiving glucocorticoid treatment fell from bed and complaine...

Acromial fracture associated with ipsilateral acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is rare in adults and has not been reported previously. A 42-year-old woman presented to the emergency department and was diagnosed with a type III acromial fracture on initial radiographic assessment. Open reduction internal fixation was selected and performed immediately based on the diagnosis. However, the...

conclusions bosworth screw and tension band wiring are both useful procedures in patients with acj dislocation, but each should be used in the selected patients with special indications. both methods had good results during follow-up period. there was not statistically meaningful difference in the articular stability, range of motion, oss score and vast score between the two groups (p > 0.05). ...
