Abstract:
BACKGROUND:At present, the anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament is a trend for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Endobutton plate is a new and effective surgical method found in recent years. Although the recent curative effect is satisfactory, as a method of internal fixation, its rigid fixation does not conform to the requirements of the biomechanics. Furthermore, a randomized control ed clinical study and systematic evaluation are absent.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate clinical outcomes and safety between endobutton plate and the other surgical methods for treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
METHODCochrane (2014-01), PubMed (1966-01/2014-03), Medline (1966-01/2014-03), EMbase (1984-01/2014-03), CNKI (1979-01/2014-03), VIP (1989-01/2014-03) and Wanfang (1989-01/2014-03) databases were searched by computer. Six Chinese journals about orthopedics were searched by hand. References of relevant literatures were searched. Randomized control ed trials that were related to different surgical methods for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation were col ected. In accordance with inclusion criteria, some literatures were included and their qualities were assessed strictly. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.2 software from the Cochrane Col aboration.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y 7 published studies with randomized control ed trials met al the inclusion criteria. A total of 359 patients were included, containing 152 cases of endobutton plates fixation, 149 cases of clavicle hook plate fixation, and 58 cases of screw fixation. Except two researches addressed the comparison among three surgical ways, the remaining were about two ways. Meta-analysis showed that the excellent rate was better in endobutton plates fixation than in clavicle hook plate fixation (P=0.0002) and in screw fixation (P=0.009). Compared with other fixation methods, there were significant differences in shoulder joint pain (P=0.01), but no significant difference was detected in operation time, upper limb muscle strength, bleeding amount, redislocation and surgical wound infection (P=0.44, P=0.10, P=0.37, P=0.21, P=0.96). Results indicated that, the efficiency of endobutton plates fixation for acromioclavicular joint dislocation was better than clavicle hook plate fixation and screw fixation, and caused less shoulder pain than clavicle hook plate fixation. There was no significant difference in operation time, upper limb muscle strength, bleeding amount, redislocation and surgical wound infection among the three methods. Due to the limited number of cases in this study, the multicenter, large-sample and long-term clinical randomized control ed studies are needed to increase the strength of the evidence.
