Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of conjoined tendon transfer for coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction in the treatment of Rockwood grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ acromioclavicular joint dislocation,c Methods A retrospective case control study was performed for 64 cases of acromioclavicular joint dislocation admitted from October 2007 to August 2014.There were 53 males and 11 females,with age of (43.8 ± 10.5) years (range,23 to 65 years).Rockwood grade Ⅲ was seen in 27 cases and grade-Ⅳ in 37.According to the treatments,26 cases underwent proximally based conjoined tendon transfer for coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction combined with clavicular hook plate (ligament reconstruction group) and 38 cases only treated with clavicular hook plate (internal fixation group).Visual analogue scale (VAS),Constant shoulder score and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups before and after operation.Results All patients were available for a mean follow-up of 3.7 months (range,2 to 4 months).VAS was (7.58 ± 1.03) points in ligament reconstruction group and (7.15 ± 1.03)points in internal fixation group before surgery (P ＞0.05),and was (2.38±0.94)points in ligament reconstruction group and (2.08 ± 0.99) points in internal fixation group 3 months after operation (P ＞ 0.05).Constant shoulder score was (86.46 ± 6.59) points in ligament reconstruction group and (87.68 ± 6.59) points in internal fixation group after operation (P ＞ 0.05).Six cases (16％) had recurrent joint dislocation in internal fixation group,while none of the patients in ligament reconstruction group had recurrence (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Improved procedure of proximally based conjoined tendon transfer for coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
