A novel hybrid fixation (coracoclavicular screw supplemented with K-wire) for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation: A prospective study

The two groups can both achieve satisfactory radiological and functional outcomes in treating acute AC joint dislocation. However, CC screw fixation supplemented with K-wire exerts some advantages regarding the incision length, operation duration, blood loss volume, length of hospitalization. Furthermore, it can better relieve the pain caused by dislocation. Therefore, the novel hybrid fixation (CC screw fixation supplemented with K-wire) provides an alternative treatment for acute AC joint dislocation.
