Sumario:Injuries to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are common among adults in their twenties and account for 8% of all joint dislocations. Although there are numerous operative approaches to treating AC joint separations, a gold standard does not exist because of lack of conclusive evidence supporting the use of 1 standard technique. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we describe an anatomic AC joint repair using a suture cerclage tensioning system to accurately control the reduction and improve the precision and outcomes of the repair.
