ABSTRACT

Introduction: Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is a common injury, which is observed mainly in young adults; indications for surgical management and the most appropriate technique remain controversial. Material and methods: We present a surgical technique, whose objective is the anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments with autologous semitendinous graft, without tunnels in the collarbone and without fixing devices. Results: This technique is reliable for stabilizing the joint in the short term and we consider that it could neutralize the anteroposterior translation of the distal collarbone. Discussion: Studies are required to report on functional and radiological results, with the use of this surgical technique so that we can then point out that it has advantages over other therapeutic options existing today.
