Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation
Conditions
Brief summary
In a randomised prospective comparative Trial the investigators aim to compare the conservative Treatment of acromioclavicular dislocations (Rockwood III) with a conventional sling versus a Acromion 2.0 brace, which exerts a direct Reposition force on the Joint. The sling/brace will be worn for 6 weeks and the patients will be regularly checked clinically and radiologically.The investigators are interested in differences of shoulder function, Patient satisfaction as well as cosmetic and radiological results.
