Study Arms (2)
group with tape augmentation of acromioclavicular (AC) joint
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients randomised in this group will have additional tape fixation around AC joint. Both groups will however have fixation in CC area.
group without tape augmentation of AC joint
SHAM COMPARATORpatients randomised in this group will not have additional tape fixation around AC joint. Both groups will however have fixation in CC area.
Interventions
fixation around AC joint with tape in different configurations
there will be no additional fixation around AC joint in this group
mandatory coracoclavicular fixation with to suspensory systems, comprised of non-absorbable tapes and metal buttons
