The optimal surgical approach for acute acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the outcome of anatomic repair or approximation of intra-articular and extra-articular damage. ⋯ The anatomic repair of damage in AC dislocations is a reliable treatment although it is not always feasible. Approximating torn ligaments can still produce good results under the rigid CC screw protection.

Ischemic/hypoxic myocardial damage and functional impairment of the myocardium occurs immediately after major burns. This experimental study investigated whether the prompt cardiac dysfunction initiates hepatic, renal, and intestinal injuries soon after a severe burn. ⋯ The prompt cardiac dysfunction has some initiating effects on ischemic/hypoxic injury to organs such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines soon after a severe burn.
