Abstract

The optimal surgical technique for stabilization of chronic acromio-clavicular(AC) joint separations is not known. Anatomic coraco-clavicular(CC) reconstruction offers superior initial laboratory biomechanical stability compared to coraco-acromial ligament transfer (Weaver-Dunn procedure). However, risks associated with anatomic CC reconstructions may be higher. The purpose of this study was to compare failure rates of several different open anatomic AC reconstructions with non-anatomic CA ligament transfer.
