"Outcomes After Operative Versus Nonoperative Management of Type III to V Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocations" with Authors Dr. Darius Lamiere, MD and Dr. Daniel Whelan, MD, MSc
Wednesday, 21 October, 2026

Controversy exists regarding the correct treatment for type III-V acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations. While more recent data has shown equivalence between operative and non-operative management of Rockwood type III AC joint injuries, historical gestalt has suggested that AC separations with greater deformity, the type Vs, may best be treated surgically. This, however, is not backed by strong data. Of note, type IVs are exceedingly rare. Dr. Darius Lamiere, MD and Dr. Daniel Whelan, MD, MSc join us from the University of Toronto to share their meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing surgical and non-surgical treatment for these injuries.
