[Management of complete acromioclavicular dislocation with resorbable fixation material (PDS cord)].
The complete acromioclavicular dislocation impairs the motility of the shoulder girdle. The surgical transfixation of the AC-joint with a screw, with K-wires or with special plates has a quite high complication rate and requires a second operation. We suggest the dynamic augmentation of the sutured ligaments with a coracoclavicular and an acromioclavicular PDS-cord cerclage. The paper presents the results of a follow-up examination of 10 patients.
