All but one patient reported an improvement in the pain component of their CM score and in the work component of the Quick DASH score. DiscussionOpen ACJ stabilization to treat instability following distal clavicle resection resulted in improved functional scores, pain scores and facilitated return to work in most patients.Level of evidence IV.
