[Therapy of acromioclavicular luxation].

62 patients underwent surgery for dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint and were followed up. In acute cases the best results could be achieved by an open reposition in combination with temporarily splinting by a Kirschner-wire and suture of capsula and ligament. A plasty using autologous ligament is necessary in rare cases only. Open reposition, screwing according to Bosworth and a plasty with a strip of autogenous cutis (Bunnell) should be performed in delayed cases.
