Official Title: Prospective Series of Acute Acromioclavicular Dislocations Grade III+. Arthroscopic Fixation With Tightrope (R).

Brief Summary: Several surgical techniques are used for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations. The investigators investigate a new method using arthroscopic repair using the Tightrope fixation device.

The investigators want to prospectively evaluate the results in a series of 25 patients.
