ABSTRACT

A transverse descriptive study was made of 21 patients with chronic acromioclavicular luxation grade III treated with de Weaver-Dunn technique by five surgeons in the period comprehended from January 2000 to April 2003. This was made with the objective of doing a functional evaluation of the operated shoulder with the clinical and radiological UCLA modified scale. We found a good functional results, with a follow-up of 13 ± 6 months, satisfaction of 91% of the patients, and a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) of pain postoperative with respect to preoperative pain in each patient. We conclude that the functionality of the patients operated in this hospital with the mentioned pathology is good and has concordance with most of the publications in other countries.
