Background: Treatment of acute and chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocations is still controversial. We aimed evaluation of surgical outcomes after using the combined technique with a hook plate and transposition of the coracoacromial ligament in the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation.
Case Presentation: During two years 4 patients (2 acute and 2 chronic cases) were operated with this technique.

The two-stage minimally-invasive protocol using locking plate fixation proved a historical turning point, improving functional results to the highest levels compared to all other methods.
