Open Anatomic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction by Modified Conjoint Tendon Transfer for Treatment of Acute High-Grade Acromioclavicular Dislocation

This article describes modified conjoint tendon transfer. The technique may yield stable, anatomic, biological reconstruction of the CCL for the treatment of acute high-grade AC dislocation. It consists of the following steps: (1) creation of clavicular holes, (2) coracoid osteotomy, (3) conjoint tendon mobilization, (4) conjoint tendon transfer and fixation to the CCL footprint on the undersurface of the clavicle, and (5) AC reduction and conjoint tendon tenodesis to the bed of the retained coracoid process.
