Over the course of the years, the topic of optimizing the management of acromioclavicular joint dislocations has gained popularity, remaining a subject of debate. It has been determined that posterior horizontal instability appears to be one of the factors influencing both clinical and radiographic outcomes, postsurgical reconstructions with coracoclavicular techniques. In contrast, the acromioclavicular ligament complex (ACLC) has been experimentally demonstrated to play a crucial role in horizontal translation and rotational stability of the clavicle. Although several strategies have been established, perfect surgical timing, and its potential impact during the healing process, remain poorly defined. Furthermore, appropriate surgical techniques to restore normal acromioclavicular joint kinematics while ensuring an adequate biological environment remain unclear. Due to the existence of multiple features present in acromioclavicular joint reconstruction techniques, an ideal approach involves ACLC and coracoclavicular combination reconstruction, minimal clavicular drilling, and biological enhancement to ensure anatomical reduction and an adequate process of ligament healing. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present a modified surgical technique of the Neviaser procedure. This modified surgical technique combines an all-arthroscopic single tunnel coracoclavicular fixation with the transfer of the coracoacromial ligament to reconstruct the ACLC.

This prospective, observational cohort study compares the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the modified Weaver and Dunn (WD) technique with the newer, anatomical double-button plus tendon allograft technique (DB), and the suture anchor repair plus tendon allograft (SA). The study cohort includes 53 patients, who underwent surgery for acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation Rockwood type 3, 4 and 5. Patient-reported outcome scores and clinical results, including Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Constant score (CS) results as well as loss of reduction rates on plain radiographs were compared.

Anterior Shoulder Instability (ASI) is a common orthopedic condition often resulting in altered shoulder kinematics. Understanding the biomechanics of the unstable shoulder is critical to determine the most appropriate treatment. This study aims to conduct the first systematic review and meta-analysis of three-dimensional (3D) shoulder kinematic studies in ASI patients.

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.
