title: [The surgical treatment outcomes of acromio-clavicular joint dislocation healing with closed reposition and Kirschners' wires stabilisation].
abstract: The results of surgical treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation in 21 patients using closed reposition and stabilization with the use of 2 Kirschner arrowheads were presented in this study. Results of treatment were obtained on the basis of movable shoulder joint restriction, severity of pain, radiological images, as well as a subjective assessment of the operated limb function. Observation period ranged from 3 months to 3 years. It has been concluded, that closed reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (arrowheads) is simple, barely invasive method of treatment for acromioclavicular dislocation and gives good final results, although a significant percentage of complications was observed.
