Acromioclavicular dislocations treated by coracoacromial ligament transfer.
Forty-seven patients with acute Allman type-III acromioclavicular dislocations were treated with open reduction and coracoacromial ligament transfer. At follow-up 1.6-10 years (mean 6) post-operatively 44 patients (94%) had excellent or good functional results. ⋯ Two of the three patients with subluxation in the acromioclavicular joint at follow-up had unsatisfactory results. Complications were infrequent and cosmetic results satisfactory.

Case ReportsRecurrent traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child: significance of early hip arthrography.
The authors describe a case of a recurrent posterior traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child in whom early arthrography demonstrated a large defect of the posterior capsule. The authors emphasize the necessity of prolonged immobilization and long-term follow-up. The operation of the patient was performed on the 7th day after the third recurrence of the dislocation. Revision and suture of the capsular defect from Gibson's approach were done.
