Collarbone surgery showdown: which technique wins?
NCT ID NCT07399834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods to repair a dislocated acromioclavicular (AC) joint, where the collarbone meets the shoulder. Researchers will randomly assign 74 patients aged 18-45 with acute, severe injuries to receive either a single-tunnel or double-tunnel stabilization procedure. The goal is to see which technique leads to better joint function and healing, as measured by the ACJI score and X-ray findings.

Active substance
Coracoclavicular stabilization surgery (single tunnel or double tunnel technique)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which surgical method is better for fixing a dislocated collarbone, leading to improved recovery and fewer repeat injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 74 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and surgery always carries risks like infection or implant failure.
