Primary Acromioclavicular-Coracoclavicular (AC-CC) Reconstruction Using 2 Allografts, TightRope, and Stabilization to the Acromion

The objective of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for the primary treatment of AC joint instability in the acute and chronic setting. Using 2 free tendon grafts in combination with a cortical button suspensory device combines the advantages of a nonrigid biologic and anatomic AC and coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction while benefiting from the strength of a cortical suspensory device in resisting displacement of the AC joint.
