Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acromioclavicular joint instability following distal clavicle resection can result in considerable pain and dysfunction. METHOD: We present a review of 13 patients who underwent ACJ stabilization following one or more distal clavicle resection procedures. RESULTS: The mean Quick DASH and CM scores were 26(0-57) and 73(46-100) respectively. All but one patient reported an improvement in the pain component of their CM score and in the work component of the Quick DASH score. DISCUSSION: Open ACJ stabilization to treat instability following distal clavicle resection resulted in improved functional scores, pain scores and facilitated return to work in most patients.Level of evidence IV.
