To treat Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation, the two-tunnel Coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments reconstruction is a recommended technique. However, failures including tunnel widening and loss of ...

We present the functional and clinical results of a combined surgical technique that functionally restores chronic Acromioclavicular Joint Instability (AJI). The method combines a double-looped suture ...
