Arthroscopically assisted single tunnel reconstruction for acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint dislocation with an additional acromioclavicular joint cerclage

ConclusionAC-joint stabilisation with a single tunnel reconstruction using a second-generation implant results in good to excellent clinical results with high patient satisfaction. The additional AC augmentation improves stability in horizontal instable AC-joints and is recommended in all high-grade AC joint stabilisations. Nonetheless, reduction was slightly lost over time due to an elongation or suture failure of the coraco-clavicular fixation.Level of evidenceIV.
