Abstract

Abstract

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation is a common injury seen in the young adult athletic population. Both the indications for surgical management and the best operative technique remain controversial. One of the most popular reconstruction techniques is the anatomic double‐tunnel coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction. However, there have been several case reports of clavicle fractures with this technique. This article presents a single‐tunnel reconstruction technique that aims to restore both the CC and AC ligament function, while minimizing fracture risk.
