Abstract
In current literature, evidence for treatment of revision ACJ instability is still lacking, but surgical treatment continues to evolve. The importance of failure analysis and clinical relevant algorithms were highlighted in this chapter. It was also intended to point out technical errors and possible solution strategies in order to reduce failure rates and improve clinical outcomes. Precise attention on creating a biomechanically accurate repair is needed, to generate an optimal healing environment that will translate into patient satisfaction and long-term stability.
