OBJECTIVE To evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic reconstruction of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint disruption using TightRope™ system. METHODS We retrospectively assess the results of 24 patients of acute AC joint dislocation who were operated using TightRope system. Constant and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores and coracoclavicular distance were calculated pre- and postoperatively. Data was entered into MS excel and analyzed using the SPSS version 17. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 39.45 months. Constant and UCLA scores were significantly increased postoperatively. Six patients had partial loss of reduction within 3-6 months and two patients had a failure of construct. Constant score was significantly lower in these patients. CONCLUSIONS TightRope reconstruction of the AC joint is a reproducible and safe alternative to many other techniques of AC joint reconstruction. Early subluxation remains a concern and may reflect the need for technique modification.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
