Risk factors for coracoclavicular reconstruction failure: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction for acromioclavicular injuries is performed through a variety of surgical techniques and fixation methods. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors associated with failure of CC reconstruction, regardless of the fixation method used.

Methods

A systematic review was performed in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Medline, Embase, and Cochrane were searched through November 2024 for studies analyzing the failures of CC reconstructive surgery. Studies that quantified risk factors for CC reconstruction failure were included.

Results

Seven studies comprising 781 CC reconstructions were analyzed with an overall failure rate of 19.1%.
