Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe a technique to restore both vertical and horizontal stability using an augmentation of the acromioclavicular ligament complex (ACLC) and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments with the combination of synthetic and biological support. Our technique introduces a modification in the surgical procedure for acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations; it provides the use of biological supplements not only during the repair of the CC ligaments but also when the ACLC is restored due to the use of a dermal patch as an augmentation allograft after the use of a horizontal cerclage. The main purpose of this technique is to replicate the anatomy and functionality of the native ligaments that stabilize the AC joint to improve both clinical and functional results.
