The clinical outcome of the 'Surgilig' technique for the reconstruction of acromioclavicular dislocations: A systematic review.

Purpose: To investigate whether the 'Surgilig' technique is safe and effective for the treatment of patients suffering from acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations graded as Rockwood's type III or higher.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Results: The failure rate of the "Surgilig" implant was very low (3.5%), while patients' satisfaction was high (88.3%). However, the quality of most studies was low.

Conclusions: There is low evidence to show that the reconstruction of ACJ dislocations with the 'Surgilig' technique could be a safe and effective treatment.
