    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract. There is controversy about the therapy for third-degree acromioclavicular dislocation according to Tossy and Rockwood's classification. Both operative and non-operative treatment is reported to have satisfactory results in the literature. The purpose of this study was to analyze the literature in a systematic manner based on the criteria of evidence-based medicine. It was our hypothesis that there is no scientific evidence for the superiority of one treatment over the other. A total of 370 papers were retrieved and classified into three groups: (1) randomized controlled trials; (2) comparative retrospective studies; and (3) retrospective studies. In three studies that were graded with high evidence, the major outcome for both operative and non-operative treatment was similar. The advantages of non-operative treatment include a shorter period of rehabilitation and a significantly lower complication rate while the advantages of operative treatment include a low rate of persisting subluxation of the AC joint. Similar results were found for retrospective comparative and long-term studies. For retrospective studies without controls, both operative and conservative therapy are described with good and excellent results, ranging between 80 and 97 %. In conclusion, there is good evidence on the therapy of third-degree acromioclaviculary dislocation studies. The functional result according to the literature is similar, and complications associated with therapy occur more often with operative treatment. Conservative treatment appears to be the method of choice for third-degree acromioclavicular dislocations unless the patient's preference is operative therapy.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung. Die Therapie der Schultereckgelenkverletzung, insbesondere die Typ-III-Verletzung nach Tossy et al. und Rockwood wird weiter kontrovers diskutiert. In der Literatur werden verschiedene operative Behandlungsmethoden, aber auch eine rein konservative Therapie mit guten Ergebnissen beschrieben. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, in einer systematischen Literaturanalyse zu untersuchen, ob nach Kriterien der „evidence based medicine“ Vorteile eines operativen oder konservativen Behandlungsregimes der Tossy-III-Verletzung vorliegen. 370 Studien zur Acromioclaviculargelenkverletzung wurden untersucht und soweit zur Fragestellung geeignet, randomisierten Vergleichsstudien (1), retrospektiven Vergleichsstudien (2) und retrospektiven Studien ohne Vergleichskollektiv (3) zugeordnet. In der Gruppe mit hoher klinischer Evidenz (1) konnten 3 Studien gefunden werden. In diesen werden vergleichbare funktionelle Ergebnisse nach operativer beziehungsweise konservativer Therapie beschrieben, wobei für konservativ behandelte Patienten eine kürzere Rehabilitation und deutlich weniger Therapiekomplikationen bei einer jedoch verbleibenden Subluxationsstellung angegeben werden. Auch für die Gruppe der retrospektiven Studien mit Vergleichskollektiv sind unter Berücksichtigung der zum Teil erheblichen methodischen Einschränkungen ähnliche Ergebnisse der beiden Therapiemöglichkeiten auch in Langzeituntersuchungen angegeben. Für Untersuchungen ohne Vergleichskollektiv sind sowohl für verschiedene operative Stabilisierungsverfahren als auch nach rein funktionell-konservativer Therapie gute und sehr gute Ergebnisse mit hohem Anteil beschrieben. Als Ergebnis muß festgehalten werden, daß zur Frage einer operativen oder konservativen Therapie der drittgradigen Schultereckgelenkverletzung Studien mit hoher und ausreichender Evidenz vorliegen. Das funktionelle Ergebnis ist nach Studienlage vergleichbar, die Rate an therapieassoziierten Komplikationen nach operativer Stabilisierung ist jedoch höher. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse kann nach Kriterien einer evidenzbasierten Medizin zur Therapie der Tossy-III-Verletzung in erster Linie die konservative Therapie empfohlen werden. Die Indikation zu einer operativen Therapie sollte streng gestellt werden.

    Notes: Abstract Background and aims: Outcome refers to the different facets of consequences resulting from an event or intervention. These consequences may be relevant for an individual patient, but also for society. There is a growing recognition that clinical research needs to define and focus on the outcomes of medical care. Outcome research should help health care professionals to better evaluate the effectiveness of specific interventions or a therapeutic concept. This broader base of evidence should then benefit the patients. Methods: The literature was reviewed with respect to concepts of outcome research as well as results of outcome research after major trauma. Results: Measuring outcome might be relevant for research purposes as well as in daily surgical practice. In the past, clinical research in trauma care has tended to focus on survival. Mortality rates are not out, complication rates are not out, but their value is limited and restricted to given scenarios with high mortality rates. New outcomes have to be added: such a functional status, emotional health, social interaction, cognitive function, degree of disability and other indicators of health. Conclusion: Despite differences in injury pattern and severity of injury, there is strong evidence from the literature that the quality of life is significantly impaired after major trauma. This is true for functional outcome as well as for psycho-social outcome in up to 70% of patients.
