Long head of the biceps as a local autograft for surgical treatment of high-grade acromioclavicular dislocations: a clinical anatomy and feasibility study

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: High-grade acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations are a major clinical concern owing to their compromised ligament healing capacity, leading to instability, pain, and decreased function. Surgical repair is the treatment of choice, often requiring biological augmentation with a graft, particularly in cases of subacute and chronic injuries. There is no consensus on the definition of acute, subacute, and chronic lesions, and surgical outcomes can be hampered by nonhealing of the ligament and loss of reduction.
