Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of anatomic locking compression plate augmented with anchor nail versus calvicular hook plate in the treatmeut of Neer type Ⅱb distal calvicular fractures.Methods The data of 65 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had undergone surgery in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2015 for Neer type Ⅱb distal calvicular fractures.They were 39 men and 26 women,aged from 18 to 58 years(average,42.6 years).Open reduction plus anatonical locking compression plating augmented with anchor nailing was performed in 33 patients (group A) and open reduction plus calvicular hook plating was conducted in 32 (group B).The internal fixation was removed oue year after surgery in all.Constant Scale was used to evaluate shoulder function at 1,3 and 6 months postoperatively.X-ray examination on the shoulder was also conducted to observe fracture healing.Complications and percentage of the patients who resumed their job 3 months postoperatively were documented.Results The 2 groups were comparable because they showed no significant differences in general clinical information preoperatively (P ＞ 0.05).All the 65 patients were followed up tor 12 to 18 months (average,15.2 months).The fracture clinical healing time in group A (23.9 ± 2.3 weeks) was significantly shorter than in group B (26.1 ± 3.0 weeks) (P ＜ 0.05).The mean Constant-Murley scores at 1,3,6 months and the last follow-up postoperatively in group A (91.2 ±3.6,95.2 ±2.4,96.1 ±5.1 and 97.3 ± 1.6) were significantly higher thau those in group B (89.2 ± 6.1,91.1 ± 1.1,91.2 ± 6.2 and 92.1 ± 3.1) (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of total complications in group A (6.1％,2/33) was significantly lower than in group B (25.0％,8/32) (P ＜ 0.05).At postoperative 3 months,31 patients (93.9％) in group A resumed their job while 23 (71.9％) ones did in group B,showing a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions For Neer lⅡb distal calvicular fractures,anatomical locking compression plate augmented with anchor nail is obviously superior to calvicular hook plate,because the former can avoid damage to the soft tissue surrounding the acromion,leading to satisfactory functional recovery of the affected shoulder.
