title: [The management of complete shoulder joint dislocation without metallic implants].
abstract: In 14 patients reduction of the acromioclavicular joint was reinforced by completely absorbable polydioxanon cord. In 3 cases parts of the cord were rejected and a fistula formed through the scar without further impairment following as a result of healing local treatment. Altogether we had 12 good and 2 poor results with respect to function, X-ray appearance and pain. The complication rate and general outcome of the method described do not differ substantially from those of other commonly used procedures. However, no second operation for removal of the metal implants is necessary.
