Holding it together: chronic acromioclavicular reconstruction combining anatomical and non-anatomical reconstruction using allograft with augmentation
Muhamad Zharif N.A1, Ng B.W2, Ahmad Faizal A3, Mohamad Fauzlie Y4.
The acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) represents the main connector between the axial and appendicular skeleton. Chronic ACJ instability disrupts the shoulder girdle’s synchronized dynamic, leading to a significant limitation in daily activities and chronic pain secondary to osteoarthritis. In most cases, surgical intervention is recommended to restore its integrity. Thus, various procedures, including anatomical and non-anatomical reconstruction, have been proposed in the literature; however, none have shown superior to one another. Furthermore, a combination technique has not been discussed. The authors present a case of chronic ACJ injury (Rockwood type V), which was successfully treated with a combination of anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament using semitendinosus tendon allograft with bio screw fixation and non-anatomical stabilization of ACJ with button suture technique.
