Abstract

Revision surgery following unsuccessful acromioclavicular (AC) joint stabilization and chronic joint instability presents a great challenge in orthopedics. In those cases, sufficient healing of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments cannot be expected. Different kinds of procedures are described for the operative treatment of chronic AC joint instability that can be divided into anatomic and non-anatomic techniques. The basic idea is to provide stability and a biological basis for the ligamentization process of the CC ligaments. The anatomic, minimally invasive operation techniques using TightRope™ or similar pulley systems in combination with a free tendon autograft have turned to a widely accepted and used treatment for chronic acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations.
