This article presents a coracoclavicular functional stabilization technique to restore the anteroposterior and vertical displacement of the disrupted clavicle and thus facilitate early joint motion and final shoulder function.

Retraction Note to: Evaluation of coracoclavicular stabilization of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation with multistrand titanium cables
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation with multistrand titanium cables for coracoclavicular (CC)
RETRACTED ARTICLE: Evaluation of coracoclavicular stabilization of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation with multistrand titanium cables
TLDR
CC stabilization with multistrand titanium cables was an effective and safe alternative to other procedures for the treatment of acute high-grade AC joint dislocations and can provide immediate joint stabilization and allow early mobilization of limb with satisfied functional recovery.
Multistrand titanium cable for the coracoclavicular stabilization of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
TLDR
CC stabilization with multistrand titanium cables is an effective and safe alternative to other procedures and allows early mobilization with satisfying functional recovery.
Long-term stability of coracoclavicular suture fixation for acute acromioclavicular joint separation
TLDR
The long-term functional outcomes of a double cross-looped coracoclavicular suture technique with the intention of restoring both anteroposterior and superior displacement of the clavicle are presented.

TLDR
This procedure is the first described arthroscopic approach used in reconstruction for acromioclavicular dislocation and provides an anatomically correct and structurally sound reconstruction of the coracoclavicle ligament complex.
A new method of arthroscopic reconstruction of the dislocated acromio-clavicular joint.
TLDR
A new, safe technique is described which provides a cosmetically acceptable, anatomically solid reconstruction of the coraco-clavicular ligaments in acute or chronic acromio-Clavicular joint dislocation.

TLDR
Because type II distal clavicle fractures are prone to nonunion, operative fixation may be advisable to avoid this complication.

TLDR
In general, satisfactory results were achieved in younger patients, but as the results of conservative treatment of these injuries are comparable, the operation is indicated only in patients with symptomatic chronic acromioclavicular dislocations.
