Abstract:
Objective:To analyse the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic double-bundle Endobutton fixation of the thin bone channel in the treatment of Rockwood type III-V acromioclavicular joint dislocation.Methods:A total of 34 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation, 24 males and 10 females, aged 50.9±11.0 years (range, 21-74 years), who underwent arthroscopic double-bundle Endobutton fixation of the thin bone channel at Zhejiang Province Taizhou Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, from February 2015 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 cases on the left side and 10 cases on the right side. Causes of injury: 23 cases of car accident, 7 cases of fall, 4 cases of falling from height. Rockwood classification: Type III 17 cases, type IV 9 cases, type V 8 cases. The visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score, and joint range of motion were used to evaluate shoulder pain and functional improvement.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for an average of 16.6±2.8 months (range, 12-24 months). Postoperative VAS scores were significantly lower compared to preoperative scores ( F=199.408, P<0.001), with the final follow-up VAS score being 1.32±0.47, significantly lower than the preoperative score of 4.71±1.19 ( P<0.001). Postoperative ASES scores were significantly higher compared to preoperative scores ( F=335.838, P<0.001), with the final follow-up ASES score being 88.85±6.41, significantly higher than the preoperative score of 34.76±5.79 ( P<0.001). The Constant-Murley scores of 3 months, 6 months after operation and the last follow-up were 77.79±5.34, 87.40±5.19 and 88.17±4.40, respectively, which were higher than that before operation 37.41±6.52, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the final follow-up, shoulder flexion, adduction, and abduction were 172.9°±6.4°, 59.2°±6.2°, and 59.3°±5.9°, respectively. The coracoclavicular distance was 1.76±0.42 mm, 0.84±0.19 mm, and 0.87±0.18 mm before operation, 3 months after operation, and at the last follow-up, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=101.160, P<0.001). Whereas, 3 months postoperative and the final follow-up were smaller than the preoperative ones, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). All incisions healed in one stage, and there was no vascular or nerve injury, internal fixation infection, coracoid process or clavicle bone tunnel fracture, or internal fixation loosening or breakage. Conclusion:Arthroscopic double-bundle Endobutton fixation with thin bone channel for the treatment of Rockwood type III-V acromioclavicular joint dislocation can improve shoulder function and reduce pain, with high surgical safety.
