Acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using Ethibond No. 5 Ortho Tape

Surgical reconstruction of acromioclavicular joint dislocation often requires exposure and instrumentation. This increases the chances of injury to the surrounding neurovascular structures. We present a safe, simple, and effective technique of primary fixation of Type 3 and Type 4 acromioclavicular joint dislocation, using a nonabsorbable suture material/ Ortho Tape, relying on the mechanical principles, without the need of any autograft or metal implants.
