Abstract

Purpose: the purpose of this study is to report the clinical and radiological results of the reduction of acromioclavicular dislocation during the healing period without the anatomical reconstruction of the CC and AC ligaments.
Materials and Methods: twelve patients were treated between 2012 and 2015 with a mean follow-up of 1.5 years. Patients were included if they had Rockwood types III, IV and V acromioclavicular dislocation and were treated during the acute period (i.e. during the first three weeks of the injury). The technique employed was arthroscopic with mini-invasive. The reduction of ACD was achieved during the healing period by using two titanium buttons connected by four highly-resistant, non-reabsorbable suture cord: one button was placed in the clavicle and the other in the coracoid.
Results: results were reported after two years of post-surgical follow-up. The measurements included the static and dynamic evaluation and the DASH outcome scoring. Static radiographic measurements of the CC distance with mean discharge was 0.93 cm compared to 2.7 cm at the initial examination (p<0.0001); and DASH outcome measure of 14 compared to a pre-surgical scoring of 52 (p>0001). The patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the cosmesis and were able to return to their previous sorts and work routine normally.
Conclusion: this study confirms that he reduction of ACD by means of double button fixation during the acute healing period, and adequate immobilization helps to the biological repair without he need of anatomical reconstruction of AC and CC ligaments. In this way the patients could restore the function of the arm and achieve the static and dynamic stability. They were also able to reinstate their work and sport previous to the injury.
Keywords: acromioclavicular dislocation, button, arthroscopy, DASH score, coracoclavicular distance.

Abstract

I am grateful for the opportunity given by Acta of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery to publish the abstracts selected for the First Joint Congress between the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and the Argentinean Shoulder and Elbow Association. This meeting brought together assistants from all over South America and Spain and allowed to interact with one of the most important shoulder and elbow societies in the world.
Acta of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery covers a need and fills a very important space. The possibility of having a forum for publishing papers and scientific discussion online that is not managed by a commercial company is excellent news.
We are experiencing a changing time in relation to editorial policies. The great difficulty of accessing to publish in certain journals, gave way to the offer to accept the works by means of payment with the excuse of offering an open publication. This may be an alternative for certain researchers backed by a university or a company but in most cases in our environment that does not happen. On the other hand, academic electronic spam including invitations to attend conferences or submit manuscripts sent by predatory publishers or organizations cause great confusion.
Despite all difficulties, the interest for scientific search, to exchange information and publish is not interrupted. The production of scientific works in our countries is the result of the personal effort of the researchers in most cases.
The development of a multilateral information flow model is our responsibility. To achieve this, it is necessary to join forces and have a clear common goal. Working in this way allows the achievement of the proposed objectives. A good example of this is the organization in just over 10 years of two shoulder and elbow world congresses in Latin America, by Brazil (2007) and Argentina (2019).
In conclusion, we have a very important human potential that, in so far as it has communication tools and an accessible participation framework, will be able to make a significant contribution to our subspecialty. Acta of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery can become a fundamental link in this process.
