[Treatment of complete acromioclavicular luxation with a coracoclavicular screw].

In 12 cases of acromioclavicular luxation surgical treatment was applied by applying a coracoclavicular screw. In 8 of the 12 operated cases the results were excellent. The patients could resume their old job. After removal of the device used for osteosynthesis, no symptoms or late relapse appeared. In 2 patients the results were good, in 1 fair and in one patient a relapse was observed. It is suggested on the basis of the good results that the method should be considered suitable for clinical use.
