Background: Based on different treatment outcomes and different treatment methods for acromioclavicular dislocation, we decided to evaluate the treatment outcomes of acromioclavicular joint dislocation using tightrope arthroscopy.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation referred to Alzahra Hospital in Isfahan and Abadan-Iran from 2015 to 2017. Information that was assessed included age, sex, type of dislocation (Figure 1), duration of injury, cause of injury, complications such as osteoarthritis, changes in the distance between the joints, as well as the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES) were collected after 6 months of surgery.
Results: There was a significant relationship between horizontal change instability and type of injury that 9 cases (60%) of type 5 of injury and 0 of type 3 had horizontal change instability (P=0.01). There was a reverse significant correlation between ASES score and duration of injury (r=-0.58, P=0.01).
Conclusion: Acromioclavicular joint dislocations could successfully be treated with the TightRope system. We also showed that patient's pain and functions are diversely correlated with injury durations.

Case Report: Metastatic involvement of the acromioclavicular joint in a patient with papillary carcinoma of the ureter.

Department of Orthopedics, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Türkiye.
Ureteral papillary carcinoma is a rare subtype of urothelial carcinoma, ranking fourth among cancers following prostate (or breast) cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Although previous studies have documented bone metastases mainly in the pelvis, spine, ribs, and femur, this case report presents the first recorded instance of metastasis occurring in the acromioclavicular joint. A 62-year-old woman with a history of left flank pain and macroscopic hematuria underwent a left nephroureterectomy, which revealed ureteral papillary carcinoma.

Introduction: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries pose significant challenges in clinical management, necessitating consensus guidelines for optimal treatment. There is a lack of consensus in several areas, including imaging protocols, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation timelines. This study aims to develop a consensus regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of AC joint separations.

Introduction: Inferior or subacromial dislocation of the distal clavicle is a rare entity. Previous reports of this injury pattern have largely been limited to Rockwood VI acromioclavicular joint (AC) dislocations, with the distal clavicle located in the subcoracoid position. Few case reports have been described with the inferior clavicle being located in the subacromial space, and these have all been previously associated with clavicle fractures.

Background: Despite new modern surgical techniques, no short-term functional differences have been demonstrated between operative and non-operative treatment for acute acromio-clavicular (AC) dislocations Rockwood III-V. Few studies describe the long-term clinical and radiological results of these lesions. We aim to compare the one- and ten-year outcome of patients either treated non-operatively or with hook plate fixation for Rockwood III AC lesions.

Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury management has historically been guided by the severity and grade of the injury. However, recent debates have emerged regarding the role of surgical intervention for these injuries. Insurance-based disparities in surgical treatment have been well-documented across various orthopedic conditions.
