Abstract
The surgical management of chronic or acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations can be divided into three broad groups. These are repair of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments, reconstruction of the acromioclavicular or coracoclavicular ligaments, and tendon transfer. Biomechanical analysis of the coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligaments has determined that the coracoclavicular ligaments play a major role with/without the acromioclavicular ligaments intact. Based on this biomechanical analysis, we have devised a novel technique to reconstruct anatomically the coracoclavicular ligaments. The anatomic position of the coracoclavicular ligaments is discussed as determined by osteological measurements as well as the technique.
