After uneventful general anesthesia was obtained, he was positioned in the beach chair and his right shoulder was sterilely prepped and draped in a normal fashion.

An allograft was used to recreate the coracoacromial ligaments and then secured to decorticate with a bioabsorbable tenodesis screw and then to the clavicle.  And two separate areas that were split, one taken medially and one taken laterally, and then sewed together for further stability.  This provided good stability with no further superior translation of the clavicle as viewed under fluoroscopy.  The wound was copiously irrigated and the wound was closed in layers and a soft dressing was applied.
