Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate postoperative functional results in soccer players diagnosed with acute grade III acromioclavicular dislocation, stabilized with clavicular hook plate.

Methods

Between 2006 and 2010, 11 soccer players were diagnosed with acute acromioclavicular dislocation. Mean age was 22.9 years. The clavicular hook plate was used for stabilization. The follow-up was 4 years (2–6 years).

Results

Constant score showed 82 % excellent results and 18 % good functional results. Average pain measured with VAS was 1.8 (±0.59) mm out of 10. We did not report any complication within the process.

Conclusions

Use of the clavicular hook plate is considered adequate for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation in soccer players, allowing a quick return to sports.

Level of evidence

Retrospective case series, Level IV.
