Systematic review evaluates long-term outcomes of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction in AC joint dislocations, indicating high satisfaction and low recurrence rates.

Key Points

This review aims to evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes following coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction for acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
Conducted a systematic review of studies from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science following PRISMA guidelines.
Included studies with a minimum 5-year follow-up post-CC ligament reconstruction for AC joint dislocations.
Collected data on patient-reported outcomes, satisfaction, return to sport, complications, and reoperations.
Patients demonstrated excellent functional outcome scores with a weighted mean Constant score of 93.1 and satisfaction rate of 93.1%.
The overall complication rate was 11.9%, with a recurrence rate of 5.2% and reoperation rate of 6.1%.
Radiographic analysis indicated no significant changes in coracoclavicular distance from the initial postoperative period to the final follow-up (P = .354).
