The authors present an account of a group of 52 patients subjected to Weaver-Dunn's operation on account of acromioclavicular dislocation grade III. They started to use this method in 1988. The authors emphasize that it is an elastic fixation of the clavicle without the use of osteosynthetic material. It is a simple operation with a relatively short period of work incapacity. Based on the described group of patients the authors provide evidence that they achieved very good results with Weaver-Dunn's operation. Key words: acromioclavicular dislocation, Weaver-Dunn's operation.
