The deltotrapezial fascia stabilizes the AC-joint and its reconstruction restores the horizontal stability in AC-joint separations: a biomechanical comparison
The transection of the DTF results in significantly reduced stability in the horizontal plane of the ACJ. A reconstruction of the DTF restores the stability of the native ACJ in the horizontal plane. Further clinical and biomechanical investigations should focus on reconstruction techniques of the DTF.
