[Early results of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with carbon fiber prosthesis in patients with acromioclavicular dislocation].

The results of surgical repair of coracoclavicular ligament with carbon fiber prosthesis in 34 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation have been presented. They were assessed on the basis of subjective opinion, clinical and radiological examination. Clinically 91 per cent results were rated excellent or good. Anatomical position of articular surfaces within acromioclavicular joint was found in 88 per cent of cases. The authors conclude, that carbon fiber ligamentous prosthesis proved its usefulness in surgical restoring of the stability of the acromioclavicular joint.
