In this report, we present a case of a triple clavicle injury, acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation, a middle third clavicle fracture, and a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) subluxation, and describe its successful surgical treatment. A 49-year-old female patient sustained a 3 m fall, resulting in direct trauma to her left shoulder. Initial radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a displaced middle third clavicle fracture, a high-grade ACJ dislocation, and a posterior SCJ subluxation.

Predicting bursal-side supraspinatus tendon tears with the acromioclavicular angle.

Asia Pac J Sports Med Arthrosc Rehabil Technol

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Faculty of Medicine, Kasetsart University, 50, Ngamwongwan Road, Lat Yao, Chatuchak, Bangkok, 10900, Thailand.

Background: Bursal-side supraspinatus tendon tears are a common form of rotator cuff injury, often associated with acromial impingement and other extrinsic factors. Existing anatomical parameters, such as the lateral acromion angle, acromial index, and critical shoulder angle, have been studied in relation to rotator cuff tears; however, reliable indicators specific to the risk of bursal-side supraspinatus tears remain lacking. The acromioclavicular (AC) angle, which reflects the angular relationship between the acromion and clavicle, may offer a new predictive marker for this specific pathology.

Acromioclavicular joint biomechanics: a systematic review.

JSES Rev Rep Tech

November 2024

Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory, Congress Medical Foundation, Pasadena, CA, USA.

Background: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the available literature on the biomechanical characteristics of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint to identify trends in translational parameters and contributions of the various ligamentous structures supporting the joint.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases until October 2023 to identify articles reporting on the biomechanical characteristics of the AC joint. Non cadaveric or projects involving reconstruction were excluded.

Background: Surgical treatment of Rockwood grade V acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries remains varied. We hypothesized that the addition of a second suspensory device between the clavicle and coracoid would yield superior biomechanical results over a single device. We also hypothesized that the addition of an internal brace across the AC joint to a suspensory device would yield superior results over the suspensory device in isolation.

A 60-year-old diabetic patient presented with acute pain and swelling localized to the left acromioclavicular joint. Laboratory and radiological investigations revealed the presence of pus in the left acromioclavicular joint along with bony erosion of the lateral end of the left clavicle. She was treated with open arthrotomy, debridement, and appropriate antibiotics for the causative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.
