  1. aDog Bone Button Technology (Arthrex Inc., Naples Florida USA)
  2. bMINAR (minimally invasive AC joint reconstruction): The coracoid process is exposed by a 3-cm-long skin incision. A hole is drilled through the coracoid process with the help of a specific aiming device. The suture cerclage is connected to two buttons. One of the buttons is then pushed through the coracoid process. The button is flipped and the suture is thereby fixed to the coracoid process. The other anchor is pulled through a hole in the clavicle and the cerclage is secured with a surgical knot after reduction of the AC joint
