Abstract:
[Objective]To compare the result of treatment with double bands of Atlas Ti-cable and clavicular hook plate for total acromioclavicular dislocation.[Method]Fifty-two total acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with two different fixation.1)by double bands of Atlas cable(DC group,28 cases) and 2)clavicular hook plate(HP group,24 cases).There were 38 males and 14 females,39 acute and 13 chronic,all unilateral.The mean age of patients was 38.5 years(22~65).A sling of double cable was fixed through the base of the coracoid process and the clavicle at 1.5 cm upper medially above coracoid process.All hook plate were 6 holes.Coracoclavicular ligament was reconstructed routinely.[Result]All patients were available for an average duration of follow-up of 18.8 months(range,6~42 months).The results were evaluated by radiographic measurement and clinical recovery(muscle strength in upper arms,pain in shoulder,range of joint motion) by Lazcano standard.In HP group,14 patients were assessed as good,6 as fair and 4 as poor(good and fair 83%).In DC group,22 patients were assessed as good,5 as fair and 1 as poor(good and fair 96%).There was no statistical difference between the two groups.[Conclusion]In the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation,fixation of double bands of Atlas cable is believed to be as good as hook plate fixation.Meanwhile,Atlas cable is featured with less pain followed operation,which in favor of early exercise.For it's good biocompatibility,titanium cable can be retained in body and does not need to be removed.
