CASE A 48-year-old male patient with a type V acromioclavicular injury with a 3-tendon acute cuff tear, anterior glenohumeral dislocation, and an axillary posttraumatic neuropathy is presented. The rotator cuff tear was sutured and an all-arthroscopic-modified coracoclavicular ligaments (CCLs) reconstruction technique was performed with a gracilis tendon graft and a double knotless suture fixation system. CONCLUSIONS An arthroscopic approach allows the surgeon to identify and treat associated glenohumeral lesions in type V acromioclavicular dislocations. In addition, the modified CCL reconstruction technique addresses effectively the AC instability.
