Core Tip	The three-point positioning technique represents a pragmatic shift toward reducing fluoroscopy dependence in acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. By enabling accurate tunnel placement through simple anatomical alignment, this approach has the potential to redefine intraoperative workflow and establish a new safety standard in minimally invasive shoulder surgery by prioritizing both surgical precision and radiation minimization.
