Biplanar fixation of acromio-clavicular joint dislocation associated with coracoid process fracture: Case reportDOI: 10.1016/j.tcr.2018.04.002 Keywords: Acromioclavicular, Coracoid process, Anatomic reconstruction, And horizontal stability Abstract: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury associated with coracoid process (CP) fracture is a rare injury and only case reports had been published in the literature. Although AC joint injury is not uncommon, there is controversy as regard the best stabilization method whether to use wires, hook plate, arthroscopic reconstruction or the recently described techniques of anatomic restoration of both the coracoclavicular (CC) and acromioclavicular (AC) ligaments to add stability in both the vertical as well as the horizontal plane for the AC joint. Isolated CP fracture rarely necessitates surgical intervention; but in association with AC joint injury; a controversy as regard best management, surgical approach, technique of stabilization and implant used is present due to paucity of literature
