Aim:
To compare the outcomes of unstable ACJ injuries managed with an arthroscopy-assisted anatomic reconstruction of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments in the acute and chronic setting.
Methods:
A retrospective revision was performed. The SF36, visual analog scale for pain, DASH questionnaire, constant score and the global satisfaction were assessed at the last follow-up visit.
Results:
22 patients were included. Results of the questionnaires assessed at the last follow-up visit showed no significant differences between the study groups.
Conclusion:
Management of ACJ injuries in the acute or chronic setting may involve comparable outcomes if biological and mechanical aspects are considered.
Level Of Evidence:
Level III, retrospective cohort study.
