Abstract:
A female patient who underwent successful reconstruction of an acute high-grade acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation with hook plate presented with failure of the reduction eight weeks after removal of the hardware. Surgeons and patients should be aware of the risk of late failure of acromioclavicular reconstruction after removal of the hook plate.
