Shoulder joint injuries, specifically acromioclavicular (ACJ) dislocations, can be treated with surgical repair. A modified Weaver-Dunn procedure using bone plug fixation offers a stable solution for ACJ injuries.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Anatomy

Background:

The shoulder joint's high mobility makes it susceptible to instability and injury.
Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injuries are common, particularly from falls or sports.
Rockwood classification guides treatment for ACJ dislocations, with higher grades often requiring surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for treating ACJ dislocations.
To achieve stable reduction and promote bone-to-bone healing in ACJ injuries.

Main Methods:

A modification of the established Weaver-Dunn surgical technique was employed.
Bone plug fixation using Ethibond suture was utilized for ligamentous support restoration.
