Double Fixation Technique for Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Using the Two-Button Technique and Gracilis Autograft Reinforcement: A Case Report of an Elite Athlete Seeking a Rapid Return to Sports Activity

Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a relatively common injury in the general population, especially in younger ages. Although acromioclavicular injuries are a well -studied topic, there are many controversies concerning not only the best way to treat them by operative or conservative methods but also determining the most effective fixation methods, providing better functional outcomes, faster rehabilitation protocols, fewer complications, and lower recurrence rates. In this case report, we present a case of type III acromioclavicular dislocation in a young athlete who was treated operatively using a double fixation technique, aiming to address these controversies and offer insights into the optimal management of such injuries.
