Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction/Suspension Fixation

How Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction/Suspension Fixation is performed

This procedure may optionally use a suspensory fixation device, combined with autologous or allograft tendon for auxiliary reconstruction if necessary. Exploration of the shoulder joint and coracoid process area is usually performed arthroscopically. Bone tunnels are created according to the guide, and suture tape/fasteners are passed through the clavicle and coracoid process and tensioned. If necessary, the coracoclavicular ligament is reconstructed and the acromioclavicular joint capsule is repaired simultaneously. Intraoperative fluoroscopy is often used to confirm reduction and implant placement. Stability is assessed before closure. Postoperative focus is on pain control, neurovascular supply, and wound monitoring. Rehabilitation is gradually initiated under brace protection, with the goal of restoring acromioclavicular joint stability and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
