Acromioclavicular Joint Separation with Coracoid Process Fracture in an Adolescent Treated by Headless Compression Screw: A Case Report
Abstract
Injuries to the acromioclavicular joint are exceedingly rare in paediatric and adolescent populations, with only 37 cases reported in the literature. Of these, coracoid process fractures have been documented in just ten instances. We present the case of a 15-year-old male diagnosed with a Wahal’s type II acromioclavicular joint separation and a Mondori’s type I coracoid fracture, sustained during an ice hockey match, which was treated using two headless compression screws. The patient resumed unrestricted hockey activity six months post-injury, with no limitations in shoulder function. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the only documented instance of headless compression screws being utilised in such a scenario.
