title: Treatment of acromioclavicular disruptions: trial of a simple surgical approach.
abstract: Following the Allman and the Zlotsky and Ballard classifications, 85 cases of acromioclavicular disruptions (ACD) have been treated. Types I and II have been conservatively managed, while type III was treated by a special surgical technique described in the text. Types I and II were reviewed by a questionnaire form and type III was assessed clinically and radiologically, with good results according to a score rating made for the review.
