title: [Treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation after bosworth.].
abstract: The authors present a group of 60 acromioclavicular dislocations of Tossy III type in 59 patients whom they operated on in the period of 1992-1996. Within the use of a variety of methods of the surgery of acromioclavicular dislocation they achieved the best results by a timely suture of the coracoclavicular ligament and stabilization of the clavicula by a Bosworth screw. They have been using this method most frequently since 1990 as when performed in time and technically correctly it is very efficient despite its certain drawbacks. The authors emphasize mainly technical aspects of a timely acromioclavicular stabilization by a cancellous screw. In the conclusion they formulate principles of the use of the method of stabilization by a screw after Bosworth for the achievement of a good functional result. Key words: acromioclavicular dislocation, acromioclavicular stabilization by a screw after Bosworth.
