Once the clavicle bone moves up (Grade 2 and above disclocation) , consider the coraco-clavicular ligament torn.
Generally, this needs coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.

Health Tips
K-wire fixation or strapping etc cannot counter the SCM pull, you won't get long term reduction of AC joint in the long run.
