The treatment of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations offers numerous options, and ongoing debates persist regarding their comparative effectiveness. Among these options, the suspensory loop device (SLD) is one of the most favored treatment modalities. Despite the observed high reduction loss rate associated with SLD, the treatment yields favorable clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with acute type 3 and 5 ACJ dislocations who underwent open and arthroscopic procedures using a single-bundle SLD, and to evaluate the effect of clavicular tunnel position on reduction loss.
