“…Coracoclavicular cerclage is a well-established technique and has been carried out using numerous materials including tendons, wire loops and synthetic ligament substitutes such as Dacron, Mersilene tape, or polydioxanone. [76][77][78][79] This form of reconstruction does not rely on biological healing, and temporary rigid stabilisation of the joint after operation is not usually required. 60 Tendons such as semitendinosus, gracilis and the toe extensors have shown strength and stiffness similar to those of the native ligaments, 65,80 and the use of peroneus brevis has also been described.…”

Injuries to the acromioclavicular joint are common but underdiagnosed. Sprains and minor subluxations are best managed conservatively, but there is debate concerning the treatment of complete dislocations and the more complex combined injuries in which other elements of the shoulder girdle are damaged. Confusion has been caused by existing systems for classification of these injuries, the plethora of available operative techniques and the lack of well-designed clinical trials comparing alternative methods of management. Recent advances in arthroscopic surgery have produced an even greater variety of surgical options for which, as yet, there are no objective data on outcome of high quality. We review the current concepts of the treatment of these injuries.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Many authors advocate surgical repair of grade III AC joint dislocations due to reported residual complaints of pain and weakness of shoulder function in up to 50% of nonoperatively treated patients. 4,16,[21][22][23][24] Therefore, operative treatment is recommended frequently, especially for younger patients with high demands regarding the shoulder function.…”

“…Fractures that include the growth plate are described according to the SH classification. Fractures of the distal fibular growth plate are commonly type 1, with undisplaced epiphysis, presenting clinically localised tenderness and oedema [ 3 , 4 ]. Undisplaced fractures have a normal radiological appearance of the fibula, presenting only soft tissue swelling on X-rays.…”

“…Undisplaced SH type 1 injuries usually present as ankle sprains. There is no obvious radiographic evidence of a fracture, except for signs of soft tissue oedema [ 4 , 5 ]. Two cases of isolated displaced SH type 1 fractures of the distal fibula in adolescents were previously studied.…”

Fractures of the lateral malleolus are common in children. Isolated lesions of the distal fibula physis commonly comprise nondisplaced or minimally displaced fractures. An isolated, completely displaced epiphysiolisthesis of the distal fibula is an extremely rare lesion. This study introduces the case of an 11-year-old boy presenting an extremely rare lesion of an isolated, completely displaced distal fibular epiphysis that was difficult to diagnose on X-ray. Initial radiographic examination of the injured ankle showed normal configuration of the tibia and fibula on AP projection, with soft tissue swelling of the lateral malleolus. On the lateral projection, the talus completely covered the distal fibular epiphysis, and particular attention was required to reveal the complete displacement of the distal fibular epiphysis. A CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated, completely displaced distal fibular epiphysiolisthesis. The patient was treated with a closed reduction and made an uneventful recovery. This report highlights the importance of accurate clinical and radiological assessment of an isolated, completely displaced, distal fibular epiphysiolisthesis.
