Abstract

Dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint can occur in contact sports or injuries from falling. Surgical treatment is required when the dislocation is severe in a young and active patient, but there is no accumulated surgical method yet. Recently, many surgical techniques using arthroscopy have been introduced due to the development of arthroscopic technology. Therefore, this paper examined the methods, results, and complications for the arthroscopic treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
