Acromioclavicular Joint Depth and Angle in the Thai Population: Implications for Clavicle Hook Plate Design
The optimal ACJ depth in the Thai population remains within the commercially available range of 12 to 15 mm. However, a CHP with an inclination angle of approximately 16° may help reduce postoperative complications such as subacromial erosion and impingement syndrome. The differences in ACJ depth between sexes and angle between sides should also be clinically considered before fixation.
