Abstract

The Superior Shoulder Suspensory complex (SSSC) maintains a normal stable relationship between the upper extremity and the axial skeleton. Traumatic double disruptions of the SSSC frequently create an unstable anatomic situation and is difficult-to-treat. When this double disruption is managed conservatively, significant displacement can occur at either or both sites and result in long-term problems and functional disabilities. Therefore surgical management is generally necessary. The authors experienced two cases of double disruptions of the SSSC treated with arthroscopic surgery & and reported good results.
