Patients were divided into two groups based on postoperative X\u2011rays (stable and dislocated), conducted 6\u00a0months following surgical treatment. Clinical outcome was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES score), the simple shoulder test (SST), single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE) and visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiographic evaluation and clinical outcome at 6\u00a0months postoperative were used for analyses in this study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A\u00a0total of 46\u00a0patients (95.7% male, mean age 34.3 years) were included in the present study. No significant correlations were observed between joint position or loosening ratios and patient-reported outcome scores. Overall functional outcomes were excellent in both groups with mean scores of ASES 96.5\u202f\u00b1\u20098.0, SST 99.2\u202f\u00b1\u20093.0 and SANE 97.6\u202f\u00b1\u20099.1, independent of radiographic alignment. Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective cohort, radiographic loss of reduction and postoperative alignment did not correlate with patient satisfaction or functional outcomes at the 6\u2011month follow-up after AC joint reconstruction. These findings suggest that moderate postoperative displacement can be clinically acceptable in asymptomatic patients when pain relief and functional stability are achieved; however, given the retrospective design, limited sample size and relatively short follow-up period, these observations should be considered hypothesis-generating and require confirmation in larger studies with longer-term follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00508-026-02792-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,24]],"date-time":"2026-07-24T13:27:35Z","timestamp":1784899655000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multicenter evaluation of radiological and patient-reported outcomes following surgical treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocations"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"given":"Gregor","family":"Wollner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Luisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Pengg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felix R.
