ABSTRACT
Both hook plate fixation and suture button-anchor fixation have been reported to yield good results in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. In addition to a mandatory secondary procedure, hook plate fixation clearly has an increased prevalence of post-traumatic acromioclavicular arthritis in the short term that is likely to progress in the long term. Conversely, suture button-anchor fixation-a minimally invasive technique that creates less soft-tissue disruption, does not require hardware removal, and does not violate the acromioclavicular joint-is more likely to promote primary healing of the coracoclavicular ligaments, reduce the risk of late displacement, and minimize the development of post-traumatic acromioclavicular arthritis. As stated by the noted architect Frank Lloyd Wright, it is not only about form (i.e., alignment), it is about function as well.
