Brief summary

Several surgical techniques are used for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations. The investigators investigate a new method using arthroscopic repair using the Tightrope fixation device.

Detailed description

The Tightrope consists of a suspension system with a strong suture thread intertwined between an oval button and a round button, which is inserted through drilling holes in the clavicula and the coracoid. The investigators want to prospectively evaluate the results in a series of 25 patients.
