  • REPAIR OF ACROMIOCLAVICULAR DISLOCATION WITH CLAVICULAR HOOK PLATE INTERNAL FIXATION AND CORACOACROMIAL LIGAMENT TRANSPOSITION

    To explore the operative method and the cl inical outcomes of repairing acromioclavicular dislocation by clavicular hook plate internal fixation and coracoacromial l igament transposition. Methods From August 2004 to December 2007, 12 cases of acromioclavicular dislocation were repaired with the internal fixation of clavicular hook plate and the transposition of coracoacromial l igament. There were 9 males and 3 females aged 22-56 years old (average 32 yearsold). Causes of injury: 6 cases from fall ing injury, 4 cases from crush injury and 2 cases from traffic accident. There were 5 cases of the left acromioclavicular dislocation, and 7 cases of the right. According to acromioclavicular dislocation classification set by WANG Yicong, 8 cases were graded as type III, 3 cases as type IV, and 1 case as type V. The time from injury to operation was 3-28 days (average 6 days). The injured arm was hung after operation, and the function training was started 3-5 days after operation. Results All wounds healed by first intention, and the X-ray films showed complete reposition of acromioclavicular joints was achieved in all cases 1 week after operation. Over the follow-up period of 12-30 months, no plate and screw loosening, hook break and acromion fracture occurred. At 2 months after operation, 2 patients had sl ight pain when moving the shoulder, and the symptom disappeared when removing the plate. No re-dislocation was observed in all cases after removing the plate at 6-10 months after operation. The function of shoulder joint was assessed by Karlsson evaluation standard 1 year after operation, 11 cases were graded as excellent and 1 case was good. Conclusion For the repair of acromioclavicular dislocation, the method of combining clavicular hook plate internal fixation with coracoacromial l igament transposition has the advantages of minor wound, easy operation, l ittle influence on the function of shoulder joints, and rel iable restoration of the stabil ity of shoulder joint.
