Abstract:
Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is a common injury seen by surgeons.Although many orthopaedic surgeons hold that injuries of Rockwood types Ⅰ and Ⅱ are usually treated nonoperatively and injuries of types Ⅳ to Ⅵ surgically,there is no consensus with regard to the treatment of type]Ⅲ injuries.There are mainly 2 disputes in the management of AC joint dislocations of Rockwood type Ⅲ concerning operative versus nonoperative treatments and different operative techniques.In this paper,we will outline the current progress in the management of acromioclavicular joint dislocation of Rockwood type Ⅲ.
