“…A review by Kose et al 5 of 48 cases (1946–2018) found a variety of treatment options ranging from conservative management to complex surgical reconstruction and fixation. Kose et al reported two cases; Metwaly and Edres, 7 one case; and Liau et al 8 made a review of all 57 cases reported in the literature of concomitant fracture of the CP following AC dislocation and recommended that each case be considered individually before arriving at a treatment option. Even less case reports described at least triple disruption of the SSSC.…”

A combination of coracoid fracture and acromioclavicular dislocation is rare. Detecting further pathologies that could cause multiple superior shoulder suspensory complex disruptions is mandatory. Literature regarding these injuries and their management is lacking. We report our diagnostic and surgical strategies, and the postoperative outcomes of superior shoulder suspensory complex disruptions. We present five cases, treated from 2011 to 2016, who had >2 disruptions of the superior shoulder suspensory complex, involving at least a coracoid fracture and an acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Surgical reconstruction was performed in all cases. The patients were postoperatively followed up for a year. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, and bone union was achieved in all fractures. Furthermore, all patients returned to their pre-surgery activity level and jobs. Thus, we could demonstrate that in multiple superior shoulder suspensory complex disruptions involving a coracoid fracture and an acromioclavicular joint dislocation, surgical treatment leads to a good functional outcome.
