“…As mentioned earlier, repairing the coracoclavicular ligaments is generally considered the best option, if possible [4,5]; and a previous report showed that when patients in the acute phase of acromioclavicular joint dislocation were treated by hook plate fixation alone, the postoperative MRI assessment of the coracoclavicular ligaments after the removal of the intramedullary nail showed an 88% recovery (N=42 cases) [11]. Our study did not include patients in the acute phase, namely within 1 week after injury; however, in the future, we plan to perform the modified Cadenat method on such patients for the purpose of achieving a more reliable stabilization of the acromioclavicular joint.…”

“…The average constant score for patients with type 3 dislocations was 91.7 and 91.8 in patients with type 5 dislocations. Finally, the researchers concluded that using a Hook Plate for the treatment of ACJ dislocation was a good method and had desirable results in midterm follow-ups (25). Mechanical function of the coracoclavicular screw is nearly similar to the main ligaments (26).…”

BackgroundAppropriate treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation is controversial. Acroplate fixation is one of the most common treatment methods of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. Based on the risk of re-dislocation after Acroplate fixation, we assumed that combined fixation with an Acroplate and a coracoclavicular screw helps improve the outcome.ObjectivesThe main purpose of the current study was to compare the outcome of ACJ dislocation treated with an Acroplate alone and in combination with coracoclavicular screw.Patients and MethodsThis study was carried out on 40 patients with ACJ dislocation types III to VI who were divided randomly into two equal groups: Acroplate group (P) and Acroplate in combination with coracoclavicular screw group (P + S). The screws were extracted 3-6 months postoperatively. The patients were followed for 1 year and Imatani’s score was calculated. Finally, the data were compared between the groups.ResultsThe mean Imatani’s score was significantly higher in P + S group (83.4 ± 14.1) than P group (81.2 ± 10.3) (P < 0.001). The mean duration of surgery was the same in the two groups (59.8 ± 9.4 minutes in group P V.s 64.3 ± 10.9 minutes in group P + S; P = 0.169). There were no cases of re-dislocation, degenerative changes and ossification and all patients returned to their previous jobs or sporting activities.ConclusionsUsing a coracoclavicular screw combined with an Acroplate can improve the patients’ function after ACJ disruption without any significant increase in surgical duration. Authors recommend this technique in the fixation of ACJ dislocation.
