title: [Treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation by tension band and ligament suture].
abstract: From 1. 1. 1988 until 30. 6. 1990 54 patients with acromio-clavicular luxation and 3 patients suffering from lateral fractures of the clavicula were treated with tension-bend-wiring combined to suturing the acromio- and coracoclavicular ligaments at the BG-Unfallklinik Ludwigshafen. In 8 cases (14%) complications due to the implant occurred. Infection was found in 4 cases (7%). 47 patients (82.5%) could be followed clinically with mean follow-up time of 21.5 month. Clinical criteria like interpretation of the result by the patient, clinical and radiological findings were quantitatively and qualitatively interpreted by a score.
