Dynamic repair of acromio-clavicular dislocation.
Twenty patients with complete acromio-clavicular dislocation treated between 1967 and 1973 were reviewed with a follow-up time of from 1-6 years, the average being 3 years.  They were treated by transposition of coraco-brachialia, short head of biceps and a third of pectoralis minor from their origin in the coracoid process to the clavicle together with repair of the acromio-clavicular joint.  The results were evaluated according to pain, motion, deformity and x-rays with 90 per cent excellent results, 5 per cent fiar and 5 per cent poor.  Discussion of the other types of treatment is presented.
