Functional Outcome of Operative Technique of Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction using Double Endobutton

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint function as a strut to help with movement of the scapula resulting in a greater degree of arm rotation. There are multiple modalities to treat AC joint disruption in patients. Both conservative and surgical management are possible and surgeon must choose the most appropriate management modality according to biological age, functional demand and type of lesion. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcome of the double endobutton technique used to treat acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation. In this prospective study, 30 patients are treated for complete acromioclavicular (AC) joint disruption and their functional outcome are measured using Constant score and DASH score. Among 30 patients, 3 (10.00%) showed excellent functional outcome, 18 patients (60.00%) showed good outcome 8 patients (26.67%) showed fair outcome and only 1 patients (3.33%) showed poor functional outcome.
