The patient is placed in the beach-chair setup with the upper limb at the side in neutral flexion for operative exposure of the clavicle, coracoid, and acromion and in an anterior direction.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Surgical site preparation and skin incision marking using a dermographic pen in the right shoulder: superolateral view.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Intraoperative exposure of soft-tissue disruptions in stage IIIB acromioclavicular joint dislocation. There is partial detachment of the deltoid muscle, as well as complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint, on a superior view of the right shoulder, with partial detachment of the trapezius at its clavicular insertion.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Surgical approach to the coracoid process in a right shoulder. The separated lateral clavicle that has been dislocated occurs naturally in association with an anterior deltoid detachment. Immediate visualization of the coracoid base is performed.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Positioning of all-suture self-punching anchors at the coracoid base. Insertion is carried out under jaws’ direct visualization via medial-to-lateral placement on the coracoid, without penetration of the inferior cortex. Pre-drilling with a 2-mm drill bit is used in hard bone to prevent slippage.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Drilling of bone tunnels in the clavicle and acromion using a 2.5-mm drill bit. In all, 4 tunnels are prepared: 2 medial vertical (VM) and lateral vertical (VL) tunnels in the clavicle, 1 horizontal tunnel at the end of the clavicle (HC), and 1 oblique tunnel in the acromion (OA), which provides for passage of suture limbs for coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Suture tape passage for coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction in a stepwise manner. Medially, 2 suture tapes traverse from inferior to superior through the vertical tunnels in the clavicle, which are crossed to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Lateral view of the right shoulder, showing the correctly oriented clavicle.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Verification of coracoclavicular-acromioclavicular reducibility after tunnel drilling. An intraoperative superior view of a completed reconstruction is shown with anatomic alignment of the acromioclavicular joint and secure suture ribbons to keep them reducible.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Final construct of coracoclavicular-acromioclavicular complex using the all-suture technique. The deltotrapezial (DT) fascia is approximated firmly with nonabsorbable sutures. Plication of the acromioclavicular joint’s dorsal capsule (green lines) then restores horizontal stability and improves joint integrity.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
Closure of deltotrapezial fascia and acromioclavicular joint capsule. A postoperative follow-up radiograph shows maintained acromioclavicular joint alignment with a reduced coracoclavicular distance, thus confirming that the repair is structurally intact.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
In the left shoulder, there is increased distance between the 2 coracoids. On the right, the distance is 2.35 cm, whereas on the left, the distance is 1.15 cm, indicating that the separation is almost twice as great. The patient is upright.This figure is cited in the following location(s)
