- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative functional results in soccer players diagnosed with acute grade III acromioclavicular dislocation, stabilized with clavicular hook plate. Methods: Between 2006 and 2010, 11 soccer players were diagnosed with acute acromioclavicular dislocation. Mean age was 22.9 years. The clavicular hook plate was used for stabilization. The follow-up was 4 years (2-6 years). Results: Constant score showed 82 % excellent results and 18 % good functional results. Average pain measured with VAS was 1.8 (±0.59) mm out of 10. We did not report any complication within the process. Conclusions: Use of the clavicular hook plate is considered adequate for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation in soccer players, allowing a quick return to sports. Level of evidence: Retrospective case series, Level IV.
