Recurrent acromioclavicular joint dislocation with an associated coracoid fracture following acromioclavicular joint reconstruction.

We report the case of a patient with an iatrogenic coracoid fracture following two failed acromioclavicular joint resuspensory reconstructions using a synthetic ligament. This injury was successfully treated with an autologous hamstring graft reconstruction, initially protected with a hook plate. PMID: 32326733 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
