ABSTRACT
Fifty-seven patients had arthroscopic Mumford procedures for acromioclavicular (AC) pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. Thirty-nine of these patients had concomitant rotator cuff repairs. All had significant improvement of distal clavicular pain. Neither the amount nor the completeness of the distal clavicle resection affected the results. One patient with a significant retained lateral clavicular spike required additional surgery for excision. Arthroscopic distal clavicle resection is a safe and effective method of alleviating AC pain.

A Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal radius in a skeletally immature adolescent was irreducible by closed means. At open reduction, an invaginated periosteal flap was found to be responsible for the incomplete reduction. Removal of the flap resulted in an anatomic reduction.
