Acromioclavicular Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Tendon Autograft: A Technical Note and Case Report
Abstract
Background: Although there are several surgical options for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation, there is no definite gold standard. Anatomical reconstruction techniques are becoming more popular due to the new understandings of the anatomy and biomechanics of the ACJ.
Case Report: A 40-year-old male with left ACJ dislocation (Type 3 Rockwood classification) underwent anatomical reconstruction with a semitendinosus tendon graft harvested from the left knee.
Conclusion: Anatomical reconstruction of ACJ by autograft is an effective treatment option.
