Abstract
Background
This article examines the wide range of surgical reconstruction options available for acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries. However, the lack of consensus regarding the most suitable surgical techniques is attributed to the high and variable failure rates observed with current approaches.
Methods
This article presents a comprehensive overview of the current surgical principles and techniques used by renowned experts in the field of AC shoulder injury management.
Results
It emphasizes the significance of addressing horizontal and rotational instability in AC injuries and highlights the impact of impaired scapular biomechanics.
Conclusion
By exploring these emerging concepts and strategies, the article aims to lay the foundation for future studies aimed at improving treatment outcomes and patient management.
