[Methods for evaluating surgical treatment results of complete acromioclavicular dislocation]

Results of operative treatment for complete dislocation of acromioclavicular joint in 15 patients are presented. Joint reconstruction was performed according to Henry's modified method supplemented with supraclavicular deltoid and trapezius muscles suture. Three different scales were used for functional assessment of the shoulder girdle at the follow-up. Depending on evaluation method used, different results of treatment were achieved. The evaluation scale proposed by Taft et al is, in our opinion, the most useful one in clinical practice.
