Abstract
Injurie to the lateral clavicle and acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) are frequent events which are relevant to everyday life and particularly affect active adults at the age of 20-40 years. The Rockwood classification has been established for the classification of ACJ injuries. Lateral clavicle fractures are classified according to the Neer classification or the Jäger and Breitner classification. A newly established classification is the Cho classification. Depending on the injury pattern and in particular the presence of instability, various conservative and surgical care strategies are used. This article provides an overview of the various treatment concepts.
