AbstractThe authors are presenting a method of treatment of acromioclavicular dislocations using the Dewar-Barrington technique modified in an original manner. The originality of the technique consists in the supplementary fixation of the tip of the coracoid process using a "figure-of-eight" loop of wire, placed around the head and the prominent tip of the screw. The advantages due to this modification of the technique are: avoiding of technical difficulties, the absence of complications which could appear after the original Dewar-Barrington procedure, the shorter immobilization period and the earlier beginning of full range of motion of the shoulder.
