Arthroscopy: Shoulder ACJ dislocations and fracture fixation

Acromioclavicular dislocations and fractures of the outer end of the clavicle are common injuries in contact sport. These injuries can be repaired using open surgical procedures which sometimes may need a second procedure to remove the fixation device.
Arthroscopic fixation using the Arthrex "Tightrope" has a better scar and can be performed as a day case procedure. This narrated video shows this arthroscopic technique of dealing with such injuries.
