Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a common type of sports injury. The reasonable treatment of Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation remains controversial.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the classification and treatment strategies of Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation so as to provide reference for clinical practice.
METHODS: Relevant articles were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, Science Direct, CNKI, WanFang, and CBM databases using the following key words of “acromioclavicular, Rockwood, type III, treatment, dislocation” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally 43 representative articles were included, including 33 English articles and 10 Chinese articles.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Both surgery and conservative treatments can be used to treat Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation. However, the most reasonable treatment method has not yet been confirmed. (2) The new type of Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation should be brought to the attention. High-quality, randomized, controlled clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the most appropriate treatment for Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
