This study presents an arthroscopic technique for acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction. The Infinity-Lock Button System offers a minimally invasive option to reduce complications and promote healing of shoulder ligaments.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are prevalent in athletes.
  • Existing surgical techniques have varied outcomes and complication profiles.
  • Complications include graft issues with allografts and fixation problems with suture methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an arthroscopically assisted acute AC joint reconstruction technique.
  • To introduce the Infinity-Lock Button System for AC joint repair.
  • To highlight the potential benefits of minimally invasive, acute reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopically assisted reconstruction of the AC joint.
  • Utilizing the Infinity-Lock Button System for fixation.

  • Focusing on acute injury management.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique is minimally invasive and low-profile.
    • Potential to reduce risks of clavicle/coracoid fracture and skin irritation.
    • May facilitate healing of native ligaments.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute reconstruction using the Infinity-Lock Button System may offer advantages.
    • Minimally invasive approach could decrease complication rates.
    • Preserving native ligaments may prevent future arthritis.
