Distal Clavicle Osteolysis after Modified Weaver-Dunn’s Procedure for Chronic Acromioclavicular Dislocation: A Case Report and Review of Complications

Abstract: Distal clavicle osteolysis after acromioclavicular joint stabilization has only been described after the use of hardware for clavicle stabilization or synthetic graft causing a foreign body reaction. This paper reports a very rare case of distal clavicle osteolysis after modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for the treatment of chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The paper also provides a comprehensive review of complications of this surgical technique and discusses a potential vascular etiology and prevent… Show more

“…Osteolysis of the distal clavicle can occur for several reasons, including the direct violent injury of the AC joint and repeated excessive weight-bearing on the upper limb (16). In addition, as reported by many studies, regardless of internal fixation use, AC joint dislocation itself may cause osteolysis (17)(18)(19). From our statistical analysis, 13 of 107 patients were identified as having distal clavicle osteolysis, 7 of whom had a loss of reduction.…”
