In this article, four patients are described undergoing the surgical removal of this ossification. In three cases, the additional reconstruction of the ligaments is performed.\n\nCase Series:\nThe patients were retrospectively enrolled, and the patient-related outcome measures were recorded. These included pain, satisfaction and specific shoulder scores that quantified their functioning in activities of daily living following surgery. The follow-up was 34\u201348 months. The overall patient satisfaction and shoulder function were fairly high. However, all the patients still had some disability in daily life.\n\nConclusion:\nThe surgical removal of ossified coracoclavicular ligaments is likely to improve shoulder pain and functioning, but patients should be aware of some residual impairment in daily life.\n\nKeywords:\nCoracoclavicular ligament , coracoclavicular ossification , acromioclavicular instability<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i09.8140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T13:55:00Z","timestamp":1788962100000},"page":"516-521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Surgical Treatment for the Ossification of the Coracoclavicular Ligaments: A Case Series of Four Patients"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Borg","family":"Leijtens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luc Dirk Pieter","family":"Tilman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marieke","family":"Ostendorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sint Maartenskliniek, Ubbergen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederik Okke","family":"Lambers Heerspink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VieCuri Medical Centre, Venlo, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"Dorrestijn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sint Maartenskliniek, Ubbergen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,13]],"date-time":"2026-09-13T08:45:22Z","timestamp":1789289122000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/09\/surgical-treatment-for-the-ossification-of-the-coracoclavicular-ligaments-a-case-series-of-four-patients\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i09.8140","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Research Article","name":"content_type","label":"Content Type"},{"value":"Yes","name":"crosschecked","label":"CrossChecked"},{"value":"Yes","name":"peer_reviewed","label":"Peer Reviewed"},{"value":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i09.8140","name":"published","label":"Published"},{"value":"Creative Commons Attribution","name":"license","label":"License","explanation":{"URL":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0"},"group":{"name":"rights","label":"Rights"}}]}}
