Recent advancements have emphasised the need to address both vertical and horizontal instability. A recent surgical approach, the "Closing the Circle" (CTC) technique, was introduced to provide comprehensive stabilisation by addressing vertical, horizontal, and rotational forces, aiming to restore the coracoacromioclavicular stability circle as a 3D reconstruction. The “AC-DC 3D All Suture stabilisation technique”. Uses of uni cortical self-punching all-suture anchors, which reduce nerve damage risks and remove the use of metallic components such as cortical buttons, thus making it a cost-effective option. This technique emphasises three core objectives by making the surgical process safe and efficient. Full Text Additional Declarations The authors declare no competing interests.
