Low short-term complication rates following acromioclavicular joint surgery: a large database study
AC joint surgery demonstrated relatively low short-term complication rates; however, comorbidities such as type 1 diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are linked to a higher risk of experiencing adverse events. Preoperative counseling is recommended for at-risk patients, and future studies should explore surgery-specific operative time and patient management to provide further insights and enhance surgical decision-making.
