Abstract:
Between August 1984 to August 1999, 24 patients (17 males, 7 females) with acromioclavicular dislocation alone or combining with exterior clavicular bone fracture were treated at Hospital 103 with No8-like tightening method. Postoperation, 15 cases have good and very good outcome (83.34%). 3 cases have fair and moderate outcome (16.6%), this is a simple method with available materials and devices. Disadvantages included painful emergence of wires, wire removal and secondary dislocation due to wire removal.
