Revisionen und Salvage-Procedures nach Verletzungen des Akromioklavikulargelenks

Failed conservative treatment or surgical procedures for acute AC joint seperations create the demand for revision or salvage procedures to successfully treat persistent AC joint instability. Besides the classic Weaver-Dunn procedure and its modifications lately new procedures combining a more or less rigid implant for primary stability with a biologic augmentation using an autologous tendon graft have been developed. These procedures are performed arthroscopically or arthroscopically assisted.
