Kinematic Evaluation of the modified Weaver-Dunn Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction
AJSM 2008
Few reconstructive methods to treat displaced acromioclavicular separations have been evaluated using kinematic data.

We present a 29-year-old professional wrestler who sustained a traumatic latissimus dorsi tendon rupture from its humeral insertion. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe the use of two small anterior axillary incisions to repair a traumatic avulsion of the latissimus dorsi.
Although acromioclavicular joint separations are fairly common, the occurrence of high-grade acromioclavicular separations that require surgery is low. Various modifications of the Weaver-Dunn procedure have been popular and fairly successful methods to treat severe acromioclavicular separations, despite the fact that reconstructions have been done a number of ways. We […]
