Long-term results of the surgical treatment of type III acromioclavicular dislocations: AN UPDATE OF A PREVIOUS REPORT.

 According to the Imatani and UCLA scores, there was no difference between the operated shoulder and the opposite shoulder (p > 0.05). Given the same situation, 35 (92.1%) patients would opt for the same surgical treatment again. Operative treatment of type III acromioclavicular joint injuries produces satisfactory long-term results.  Lizaur A, Sanz-Reig J, Gonzalez-Parreño S. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2011 Aug;93(8):1088-92.
