Open and arthroscopic DCE are both effective surgeries to treat recalcitrant acromioclavicular joint pain.
At intermediate-term follow-up, they provide similarly good to excellent results with regard to patient satisfaction and shoulder function.
Although both are effective treatments, less residual pain was found using the arthroscopic technique.
