Overview

Case series demonstrates favorable outcomes with conservative management in patients with acromioclavicular dislocation and coracoid fracture, highlighting the utility of axillary radiography.

Key Points

  • Describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and non-operative management of concurrent acromioclavicular dislocation and coracoid process fracture alongside a review of existing literature.
  • Clinical and radiological evaluation of two cases presenting with simultaneous acromioclavicular dislocation and coracoid fracture (N=2).
  • Implementation of axillary shoulder radiographs for fracture identification followed by non-operative conservative management.
  • Review and synthesis of previously documented cases regarding treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
  • Axillary shoulder radiography successfully identified the associated coracoid process fractures that may otherwise be overlooked on standard views.
  • Conservative non-operative treatment yielded good clinical and functional recovery in both reported cases.
