Figure Lengend Snippet: A step-by-step schematic of the acromioclavicular cerclage technique on a right shoulder. (A) A tunnel is drilled in the clavicle from anterior to posterior and a shutting suture is passed through this tunnel, leaving the looped end posteriorly. (B) A posterior acromion tunnel is drilled superior to inferior. (C) The straight end of the suture is inserted and shuttled through the posterior acromion tunnel. (D) An anterior tunnel is then drilled, followed by shuttling the suture from inferior to superior and to the posterior looped end creating a figure-of-8 construct. (A, acromion; Ant, anterior; C, clavicle; LE; looped end; Post, posterior; SE, straight end.)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Arthroscopic view of a right shoulder in a patient in lateral decubitus position from a posterior glenohumeral viewing portal with a 70° arthroscope. The semitendinosus graft and cerclage sutures have been shuttled in place to rest beneath the coracoid. (CB, coracoid base; G, graft; SSc, subscapularis.)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Open view of the final construct in a right shoulder. One graft limb taken from the coracoclavicular reconstruction is lengthened and taken over the acromioclavicular joint. Then, this limb is secured beneath a cerclage suture. (A, acromion; C, clavicle; G, graft.)
