Purpose: To investigate whether the 'Surgilig' technique is safe and effective for the treatment of patients suffering from acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations graded as Rockwood's type III or higher.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: The failure rate of the "Surgilig" implant was very low (3.5%), while patients' satisfaction was high (88.3%). However, the quality of most studies was low.
Conclusions: There is low evidence to show that the reconstruction of ACJ dislocations with the 'Surgilig' technique could be a safe and effective treatment.

Acromioclavicular joint Stabilization: Our experience with the lockdown technique.
J Orthop
October 2023
Department of Orthopaedics, Medway NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom.
Background: Acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) disruption is a common injury with considerable variation with regards to surgical management. The Lockdown™ procedure (previously known as Surgilig™), Modified Weaver-Dunn procedure, Arthroscopic AC joint stabilization and Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction system (LARS) procedure have all been described for treatment of this injury with varying outcomes.
Purpose: To measure the functional and radiological outcomes following all cases of AC joint reconstruction using the Lockdown™ technique over the last 10 years at Medway Maritime Hospital.

Introduction: Surgical treatment is usually recommended for the acute unstable acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations. Among the wide variety of different surgical techniques, the Double Endobutton and the Nottingham Surgilig technique are two of the most widely acceptable and well described techniques. The aim of this study was to offer a direct comparison of the above techniques in question, analysing the patients outcomes and assessing the risk of early loss of radiographic reduction.

Background: Acromioclavicular joint dislocations are common shoulder girdle injuries. The treatment of grade III acromioclavicular joint dislocations is controversial. Furthermore, the literature on the use of the Sur-giligTM synthetic ligament for reconstruction of dislocations is sparse.

Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is a relatively common injury and a number of surgical interventions have been described for its treatment. Recently, a synthetic ligament device has become available and been successfully used, however, like other non-native solutions, a compromise must be reached when choosing non-anatomical locations for their placement. This cadaveric study aimed to assess the effect of different clavicular anchorage points for the Lockdown device on the reduction of acromioclavicular joint dislocations, and suggest an optimal location.
