Combined Vertical, Horizontal, and Rotational Acromioclavicular Joint Stabilization: “Closing the Circle” Technique

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: The biomechanical and anatomical complexity of the acromioclavicular joint makes its repair techniques particularly challenging. High rates of reduction subsidence and construction failures transversally affect both anatomic and nonanatomic repair techniques. The importance of addressing both vertical and horizontal instability has been highlighted in recent years. The authors aim to describe a surgical technique that combines vertical, horizontal, and rotational stabilization, in an attempt to restore the coracoacromioclavicular circle of stability.
