Subacromial osteolysis following hook plate fixation for acromioclavicular dislocation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Subacromial osteolysis has a relatively high and variable incidence, and the primary factor influencing the reported incidence is the radiological assessment method. The current analysis suggests coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction as an effective surgical approach for decreasing the incidence of subacromial osteolysis. The presence or absence of subacromial osteolysis did not significantly impact the functional outcomes observed during the final follow-up period.
