However, the combination of ACJ dislocation and reverse Hill–Sachs lesion and PHF is a very rare condition. Concomitant shoulder girdle injuries are common with high-grade ACJ dislocation and posterior shoulder dislocation. Although evidence shows proximal humeral fracture (PHF) and ACJ injuries having incidence rates of 6% and 9%, respectively, the mechanisms of fractures in these two injuries are different, making the coincidence of these two injuries unlikely. Our experience on this case showed acceptable outcomes of the arthroscopic treatment of the acromioclavicular joint dislocation in the management of such a complex case with associated injuries to the shoulder region.Īcromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations account for about 12% of all shoulder girdle injuries. Our findings showed acceptable arthroscopic outcomes in the management of such complex case. Patient only had minor shoulder pain at the end of range of motion and a dull pain on the site of incision over the clavicle in deep touch. Reduction and hardware were intact, no dislocation or apprehension to dislocation was observed. In the 7-month follow-up period following the surgical fixation, range of motion was approximately normal. ![]() This study described a 38-year-old male Persian patient with simultaneous acromioclavicular joint dislocation, proximal humeral fracture, and reverse Hill–Sachs lesion due to motor vehicle crash injury who underwent arthroscopic acromioclavicular joint fixation using tight rope technique. In cases with injuries to the shoulder region, the combination of acromioclavicular joint dislocation, reverse Hill–Sachs lesion, and proximal humeral fracture is a very rare condition.
