Summary:
Acromioclavicular joint injury reconstructive options include a wide number of described techniques. Although no single technique has consistently demonstrated superior clinical outcomes in the literature, there are theoretical biomechanical benefits to a combined reconstructive technique using cortical suture button and semitendinosus allograft. This review describes an acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using a cortical suture button and semitendinosus allograft.
