AC Joint Dislocation: Open TightRope Fixation

Study AC Joint Dislocation: Open TightRope Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on operative management of acromioclavicular dislocation, use of the TightRope device, and technical sequence for creating bone tunnels in the clavicle and coracoid process.

Procedure Overview

The case is organized for structured review of surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, instrument handling, reduction or reconstruction strategy, implant positioning, and intraoperative verification. Expert narration connects the visual field with the decisions documented during the procedure.
