The results are reported in 21 patients who had acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation treated by open reduction and Bosworth screw fixation, with an average follow-up period of ten years. Nineteen patients had a good or excellent functional result. Good cosmetic results were obtained. Full recovery of shoulder movement occurred in all patients but one, although coracoclavicular calcification was a frequent finding. Complications following this technique were few.
