Article Abstract
There are the different opinions on the methods used in the treatment of acute grade III acromioclavicular dislocations and their results. In this study, the results of 10 patients treated with Neviaser's method and followed in The Department Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Atatürk University Medical School were evaluated. All patients were males and the average age was 36.5 (25 to 45) years. The causes of dislocations were falls on the shoulder in 5 cases (50%), traffic accidents in 4 cases (40%) and direct trauma to the shoulder in 1 case (10%). The mean interval between injury and operation time was 10.2 (5 to 20) days. The cases were followed up with an average period of 13.1 months (6 months 2 years). The excellent and good results were obtained in 9 cases (90%) and the complication was observed in not one of the patients. We consider that Neviaser's method is a good alternative in the treatment of acute grade III acromioclavicular dislocations that operation is indicated.
