ABSTRACT:
A strapping assembly and method for the treatment of acromioclavicular separations. The strapping assembly includes a stocking that is worn on the leg of the patient on the side opposite the injury and serves an an anchor. A tension member strap is connected to the stocking through an adjustable garter. From the stocking, the strap extends upwardly to the patient's shoulder on the side of the injury and then over the shoulder and downwardly to the patient's forearm. The strap is looped around the forearm to hold it sling fashion and the weight of the forearm places the strap under tension. After the strapping assembly has been applied to the patient, the acromioclavicular separation is reduced by the physician by closed reduction and then the tension on the tension member is adjusted to maintain the reduction.
