Graft and Button Modification of Technique of Coracoclavicular Joint Reconstruction in Treatment of Chronic Type V Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: A Case Report
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
Treatment of chronic Rockwood’s type V Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation remains controversial. We describe a surgical technique to reduce and maintain AC joint using a combination of gracilis autograft with GraftMax™ button (Conmed Inc, Utica, NY). Graft was prepared using running whip stitch technique with No. 5 Hi-Fi high strength suture (ConMed Linvatec, Largo, FL). Our technique reduces intraoperative clavicular and coracoid tunnel fracture and restores anatomical coracoclavicular ligament. At sixth week and third month postoperatively, the patient demonstrated good clinical and radiographic outcome.
