About this trial
This study aims to inform clinical decision-making by thoroughly examining the outcomes of different treatment approaches for lateral quarter clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular dislocations. By evaluating the safety and efficacy of Knotless AC TightRope® repair devices and comparing short- and long-term results with other fixation techniques, the investigators hope to contribute to the improvement of treatment protocols for these common shoulder injuries. This research could significantly impact patients' quality of life by enabling optimal recovery and restoration of shoulder function.

Postoperative pain assessment
Postoperative pain assessment aims to measure the intensity, location, and progression of pain experienced by the patient following surgery. It is essential for adjusting analgesic treatments, improving patient comfort, and preventing chronic pain. This evaluation relies on validated tools such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a simple and widely used tool for measuring the intensity of pain experienced by a patient. It consists of a horizontal line, typically 10 cm long, with one end representing "no pain" (0) and the other end representing "worst imaginable pain" (10). The patient marks a point on the line that corresponds to their perceived pain level, and the distance from the "no pain" end to the mark is measured in centimeters to yield a score from 0 to 10.
