Implication

Cohort study evaluates heterotopic ossification effects post acromioclavicular joint dislocations, indicating limited complications.

Key Points

This study evaluates the severity and configuration of heterotopic ossification after different stabilization methods for acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
Cohort study design with a 2-year follow-up
Patients treated with single-suture button, double-suture button, or nonoperatively were analyzed
Heterotopic ossification severity and configuration evaluated via radiographs
Radiographic and clinical outcomes assessed using various scoring systems
Statistical analysis performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and linear regression
Heterotopic ossification occurred in 71.3% (CLA) and 58.7% (TLA) of cases, with no significant group differences
Severity was predominantly mild and configuration mostly clavicular across all groups
Severity in the CLA positively correlated with Taft scores, while TLA severity had a negative correlation
