Abstract
The surgical management of acute high-grade acromioclavicular (AC) joint (ACJ) injuries has evolved during the last decades. Numerous surgical techniques exist and recently arthroscopically assisted or all endoscopic techniques have gained popularity due to certain advantages. The goals of the new anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction techniques are to achieve anatomic reduction of the ACJ to allow and facilitate primary healing of AC and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, and also to minimize the risk of associated complications. We regularly use the open repair with double-loop sutures for the acute ACJ disruption, as described by Dimakopoulos et al. at 2006. In this surgical technique article, we present the arthroscopically assisted technique for the double-loop suture repair.
