Arthroscopic low-profile reconstruction for acute acromioclavicular joint instability

Highlights

  • Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation represents one of the most common injuries of the shoulder girdle and mainly affects young patients who are active in sports [1,2,3]

  • Biomechanical studies suggested that an additional AC cerclage can reconstruct and stabilize the AC joint in the horizontal plane [10, 11]

  • The two suture pairs are pulled in an alternating manner until the superior button is on the level of the clavicle enabling an anatomical reduction of the AC joint (
