This classic discusses the original publication “Treatment of acromioclavicular injuries, especially complete acromioclavicular separation” by Weaver and Dunn, which collaborated to develop a technique for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction in 1972. Their surgical technique described resection of 2 cm of the distal clavicle and transfer of the acromial end of the coracoacromial ligament into the medullary canal of the distal clavicle. (modified) Weaver-Dunn procedures have been regarded as one of the most effective techniques to treat complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation for a long time. However, anatomic reconstructions have taken over this position since recent biomechanical studies have demonstrated superior results. Although the Weaver-Dunn procedure has fallen out of favour, it remains of historical significance. For this reason, this review will comprise the historical overview of the Weaver-Dunn procedure, the men behind the eponym and the clinical implication then and now.
