Abstract

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury is a common shoulder injury in sports medicine. Combined coracoclavicular stabilization with AC capsule repair is 1 of 2 preferred treatments in acute high-grade AC joint injury. In East-Asian populations, the surgeon prefers to pass the first suture under the coracoid base, which is difficult using only basic surgical tools. We propose using a modified K-wire to pass the first suture under the coracoid base.
