Abstract
Traumatic injuries of the upper limb quite frequently cause acromioclavicular lesions including acromioclavicular disjunction (ACD). In our context, its management is problematic regarding the indications of surgical treatment on one hand and the choice of the surgical technique on the other hand. Among the many techniques available, that of Weaver-Dunn is one of the most popular for its simplicity of realization and its efficiency. In this respect it seems the most appropriate because of the socio-economic conditions of the population because it does not require a double intervention in this case the removal of osteosynthesis equipment. In this series, we report 3 cases of at least stage 3 DACs, all treated with this technique with good functional results.
