Clinical factors that affect perceived quality of life in arthroscopic reconstruction for acromioclavicular joint dislocation

Conclusions The health-related quality of life (assessed by SF-36) in patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of acromioclavicular joint dislocation grades iii–v was not influenced by gender, age, grade, displacement, handedness, evolution of the VAS, scoring of the Constant or by the WD. However, it is correlated with the evolution in the DASH score.
