Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction With TightRope and FiberTape Loop

Abstract: High-grade acromioclavicular (AC) injuries are frequent in the active population, and their treatment in the acute setting has reduced sequelae such as chronic pain, functional impairment, and inability to return to sports. Multiple techniques have been described to achieve reduction and fixation of the AC joint, but still there is no consensus. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe the reduction and internal fixation under arthroscopic assistance of the AC joint with the use of a double button i… Show more

“…13,14 This technique relies on a CC guide that is centered on the inferior surface of the coracoid base and on the superior surface of the clavicle. 15 A guide pin is then drilled from the clavicle into the coracoid and over reamed with a cannulated drill bit. 15 This technique is based on the assumption that by centering the inferior tunnel exit results in a centered superior coracoid tunnel entry.…”

“…15 A guide pin is then drilled from the clavicle into the coracoid and over reamed with a cannulated drill bit. 15 This technique is based on the assumption that by centering the inferior tunnel exit results in a centered superior coracoid tunnel entry. Unfortunately, the morphology of the coracoid varies substantially, is not of a typical rectangular shape, and is not positioned parallel to the clavicle, thereby reducing the likelihood of a centered coracoid tunnel.…”

“…Arthroscopic techniques have purported advantages of less soft tissue dissection and the ability to concomitantly treat intra-articular pathology and preserve normal joint motion. There are numerous described methods including the dog bone button [ 75 ] and the TightRope system, with single or double systems [ 76 ]. Suture augmentation and synthetic devices can be extraosseous, intraosseous, or transosseous [ 1 ].…”

“…Moreover, the coracoacromial ligament, a sturdy triangular band connecting the coracoid process to the acromion, also aids in vertical stability. (5) (6) Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are frequently encountered among athletes and young people, constituting over forty percent of shoulder injuries. While minor injuries typically don't result in significant health issues, severe cases can lead to notable decreases in shoulder strength and function.…”
