Abstract
To investigate whether the 'Surgilig' technique is safe and effective for the treatment of patients suffering from acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations graded as Rockwood's type III or higher. A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The failure rate of the "Surgilig" implant was very low (3.5%), while patients' satisfaction was high (88.3%). However, the quality of most studies was low. There is low evidence to show that the reconstruction of ACJ dislocations with the 'Surgilig' technique could be a safe and effective treatment.
