✨ Pleased to share that in recent months, 4 of our research projects on acromioclavicular (AC) joint instability — focusing on management strategies and patient education — have been published. Feel free to read the articles below: 1️⃣ Surgeons consider Rockwood classification the most important factor for decision-making in acute, high-grade acromioclavicular dislocations 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eV2vWKzC E Van Eecke, Arno Macken, Derek van Deurzen,Dr Thibault Lafosse, A Van Raebroeckx , Geert Alexander BUIJZE, MD PhD FEBHS, Michel van den Bekerom, AC Instability Collaborator Group. J Exp Orthop.

These studies add to the growing evidence on: 🔹 Evidence-based strategies for acute and chronic AC instability 🔹 Surgical vs. non-surgical decision-making 🔹 The role of accurate, accessible patient education in recovery and adherence 🔹 How digital platforms and AI shape perceptions of treatment 🙏 Many thanks to all co-authors for their contributions — and especially Michel van den Bekerom for his guidance and support. 🚀 More to come soon !
