The Reliability of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Classification Systems: A Comparison Between the Rockwood and Kraus Classifications

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2023 | Ausberto Velasquez Garcia, Rodrigo Liendo, Max Ekdahl, Cristobal Calvo

Background: The Rockwood system for the classification of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations has been associated with a lack of reliability. A novel system has been proposed (Kraus classification) that is based on dynamic posterior translation of these injuries. Purpose: To assess the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the Rockwood and Kraus classificat...

The Lisfranc injury is a relatively rare traumatic pathology but has a significant impact on activities of daily living if not treated early and correctly. It has been shown that an adequate early intervention and an anatomical reduction with preservation of articular cartilage are the most important factors that influence the prognosis of these injuries. Management should, the...
