The strength of the described anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction is limited by the tendon graft used. Anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction with a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft re-creates the tensile strength of the native acromioclavicular joint complex and is superior to a modified Weaver-Dunn repair.
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.
