We have seen much of acromio-clavicular joint dislocation, but didn't have established the appropriate method. We have been using a modified Neviaser's procedure for acromio-clavicular joint duislocation. In this study we wish to review the results of the cases performed since 1990.
This procedure has been applied on 71 patients since 1990. We evaluated 30 patients (26 males and 4females). The ages at the time of surgery ranged from 16 to 72 years old (36.9 years on average). The post-operative results were evaluated according to kawabe's criteria. The follow-up period ranged from 8 months to 64 months (average 33.4 months).
The points of assessment criteria was 86.3 points on average. 53.3% were excellent cases, 26.7% good, 13.3% fair, 6.7% poor. Many patients among the fair or poor case had a reduction in their range of motion, pain and dislocation. X-ray findings showed subluxation or dislocation in 26% of the patients. 70% of the patients were satisfied with their operations.
We have been performed a modified Neviaser's procedure with good results. The group of good reposition acquire higher points of assessment criteria than the poor one. Neviaser's procedure satisfies almost all the patients.
