Medium- to long-term results of acromioclavicular joint stabilisation using the Ligament Augmentation Reconstruction System (LARS) ligament.

Background: Opinion is divided as to optimum management of grade III acromioclavicular joint injuries that have failed conservative management. We objectively investigated the radiological and functional outcome of acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using the Ligament Augmentation Reconstruction System (LARS®).

Methods: Retrospective review of patients with LARS reconstruction of acromioclavicular joint dislocations with minimum six-year follow-up.
