Loss of reduction is the most common complication following acromioclavicular dislocations treatment, with literature showing greater postoperative coracoclavicular distances associated with worse clinical results. We present a surgical gesture that aims to help surgeons achieve and secure an anatomic acromioclavicular reduction during coracoclavicular fixation. This technique has the possibility to improve radiological and functional results of acromioclavicular dislocation treatment.
Sports activity represents one of the most common causes of traumatic cervical injuries, with major impact in patients’ quality of life. There is controversy regarding guidelines for safe return to sports, mainly in contact/collision sports and among patients submitted to surgical treatment of cervical injuries. The authors report a clinical case of a young athlete treated with cervical corpectomy and anterior instrumented arthrodesis due to a cervical fracture, his clinical recovery with progressive return to sports and perform a revision on this topic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
