BIOMECHANICAL RESEARCH AND TREATMENT OF ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT DISLOCATION
The acromioclavicular joint occupies a central position in the overall structure of the shoulder joint and is al-so regarded as a small movable joint[1].After injury,it is easy to cause shoulder joint dysfunction.The initial diagnosis of dislo-cation can be made through imaging examination.Currently,Rockwood classification is used for acromioclavicular joint disloca-tion,with a total of type Ⅵ.Type Ⅰ、Ⅱ acromioclavicular joint dislocation suggests conservative treatment,while conservative treatment or surgical treatment is currently controversial for type Ⅲ dislocation.In recent years,there are new techniques,new surgical methods and various internal fixation devices for the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation,but the best surgical method is still not unified.From rigid internal fixation to elastic fixation and tendon transplantation to ligament repair,the dislo-cation of acromioclavicular joint has been better treated.The proper treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation should be based on the severity of injury,injury time and functional requirements.This article reviews the biomechanical study of the ligaments around the acromioclavicular joint,the injury mechanism,types and different treatment methods of acromioclavicular joint dis-location.
