Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effect of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with the autogenous anterior half of peroneus longus tendon (AHPLT) for distal clavicle fracture (Neer type Ⅱ-b).Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of 26 Neer type Ⅱ-b distal clavicle fracture surgically treated by coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with autogenous AHPLT in Ganyu District People's Hospital of Lianyungang from June 2012 to May 2015.Among the 26 cases,16 males and 10 females,aged from 19-56 years (average 38.7 years).Fracture occurred in left side in 18 cases and in right side in 8 cases.Postoperative observations were done on fracture healing,shoulder and ankle-foot function recovery.Results For all the 26 cases,surgical incisions were healed well,and no infection,vascular and peroneal nerve injury and iatrogenic fracture occurred.Follow-up was carried out for 10-24 months with average of 15.3 months.All the fractures were healed within 12-20 weeks with an average of 14.6 weeks.One patient was found of losing the fracture reduction part during the follow-up process,and then got eventual healing by extending the limb brake time.Another patient was found of slight tendon sensation disorder with no significant effect on daily life and exercise,and the symptoms disappeared 6 months later.At the last follow-up,the Constant-Murley score was 92-100 with an average of 97.8 points.The ankle-hind foot score of American Society of Ankle and Orthopedics was excellent.Conclusion Reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament with autogenous AHPLT is an effective treatment for Neer type Ⅱ-b distal clavicle fracture with good safety and without negative effect on the ankle-foot function,and thus it is worthy of wider clinical use.
