Twenty-two patients with complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint received reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligament utilizing Tetron tape. The results were excellent in 16 patients (73%), good in 5 (23%), and poor in 1 (4%) . X-rays revealed recurrent dislocation in 3 patients and subluxation in 2. Other complications included a slight restriction of range of motion in 3 patients, complaints of slight pain in 7, slight tiredness at working in 4, and slight disability in activity of daily living in 3. Thus this method utilizing Tetron tape is effective for complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint.
