Core Tip Loss of reduction after surgical management of acromioclavicular joint injuries remains common across all fixation methods, yet its clinical relevance varies widely and is often poorly correlated with radiographic findings. This narrative minireview synthesizes current evidence to clarify how loss of reduction should be defined, why it occurs, which surgical and technical factors place patients at higher risk, and when revision reconstruction is truly justified. The minireview emphasizes that radiographs alone should not dictate management; instead, postoperative decision-making must integrate vertical and horizontal stability, tunnel accuracy, construct integrity, and the patient’s clinical symptoms and functional demands.
