Distal Clavicle Fracture Repair Using Cortical Button Fixation With Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Management of distal clavicle fractures remains controversial. Various treatment options have been described including open reduction and internal fixation with hook plate fixation, tension band wiring, screw fixation, and distal locking plates. Many of these techniques are associated with a high perioperative complication rate. We describe a surgical technique that allows indirect fixation of distal clavicle fractures and reconstruction of the CC ligaments without the use of prominent hardware.

Open reduction internal fixation of distal clavicle fracture with supplementary button coracoclavicular fixation.

Project description:Distal clavicle fractures are common, and no standard treatment exists. Many different surgical modalities exist. This report describes an open reduction internal fixation technique that achieves both plate and coracoclavicular stabilization using a button device. A precontoured superior-lateral plate is secured to the clavicle. A 3.2-mm spade-tipped drill bit is drilled across the clavicle and coracoid, passing through 4 cortices. The button is loaded onto an insertion device, passed across the 4 cortices, and captured on the undersurface of the coracoid under fluoroscopic guidance. This construct is linked to the distal clavicle plate by heavy sutures using a second button that sits in the plate. The lateral locking holes are then filled to finalize fixation. This technique provides for a simplified way to achieve coracoclavicular stabilization when using a plate for fixation of distal clavicle fractures.

An Arthroscopic Modification of Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction and Distal Clavicle Fracture Fixation in the Lateral Position.

Project description:Distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular injuries are common shoulder injuries. Despite the frequency of these injuries, there is no gold standard for treatment. Recent suspensory fixation techniques have minimized the amount of hardware required for surgical treatment of both acromioclavicular separations and distal clavicle fractures. Advantages include reconstruction of ligamentous anatomy, minimal hardware irritation, earlier return to activity, and decreased need for hardware removal. These reconstructions are classically done in the beach chair position in an open fashion. Our preferred technique for treatment of unstable distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular injuries is arthroscopy-assisted coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with or without distal clavicle fixation in the lateral decubitus position.

Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using Knotless Coracoclavicular Fixation and Soft-Tissue Anatomic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint injuries are one of the most common shoulder injuries, and there are a variety of treatment options. Recently, there have been newer arthroscopic techniques that have addressed coracoid and clavicle fracture risk by using a knotted suture-button fixation through a single, small bone tunnel with additional looped soft-tissue graft stabilization. Although clinical outcomes have been good to excellent, there have still been instances of knot and hardware irritation. The described technique builds on the latest advances and achieves an anatomic coracoclavicular (CC) reconstruction through a single knotless CC fixation device with additional soft-tissue allograft reconstruction of the CC ligaments. This technique minimizes the risks of coracoid and clavicle fractures and knot and hardware irritation while maintaining excellent stability.

Arthroscopic Anatomic Coracoclavicular Ligament Repair Using a 6-Strand Polyester Suture Tape and Cortical Button Construct.

Project description:Acromioclavicular separations are common injuries. Low-grade separations are typically managed with nonoperative treatment. However, surgical treatment is recommended for high-grade separations, as well as for chronic low-grade separations that remain symptomatic. Multiple fixation techniques have been described over the past several decades, including Kirschner wires, hook plates, and coracoclavicular screws. More recently, a single-tunnel suture-graft repair and an anatomic reconstruction reproducing both the conoid and trapezoid ligaments have been described. All described techniques have reported complications, including implant migration, need for implant removal, clavicle or coracoid fracture, and loss of reduction. As a result, there is no single optimal method of operative fixation. We describe our technique for an arthroscopically assisted anatomic coracoclavicular repair using a 6-strand suture tape and cortical button construct.

Arthroscopically Assisted Anatomic Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction Technique Using Coracoclavicular Fixation and Soft-Tissue Grafts.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint injuries are common and are often seen in contact athletes. Good to excellent clinical results have been reported using soft-tissue grafts to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligaments; however, complications remain. Some complications are unique to the surgical technique, particularly clavicle and coracoid fractures that are associated with drilling large or multiple bone tunnels. The described technique allows for an anatomic coracoclavicular reconstruction using a large soft-tissue graft while minimizing the risk of clavicle fracture by avoiding large bone tunnels.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Management of Unstable Distal-Third Clavicle Fractures: Conoid Ligament Reconstruction and Fracture Cerclage With Sutures.

Project description:Surgical treatment is usually indicated for the management of Neer type IIB fractures of the distal third of the clavicle. These unstable injuries have shown a rate of nonunion that oscillates around 30% to 45% when managed conservatively, and surgical strategies often require a second operation for implant removal. We describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique for the treatment of Neer type IIB unstable distal-third clavicle fractures that overcomes the issues related to open surgery, metal hardware, and implant irritation. This technique increases the load to failure of the construct by means of adding a synthetic conoid ligament reconstruction with a nonrigid suspension device, and it allows the diagnosis and treatment of associated glenohumeral injuries. Our technique incorporates a fracture interfragmentary fixation with sutures, thus avoiding a second operation for implant removal.

Radiological study of the Asian coracoid process and clavicle: Implications for coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.

Project description:PurposeIatrogenic coracoid and clavicle fracture is a known complication of drilling bone tunnels during anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction (ACCR). This study aims to measure the dimensions of coracoid process and clavicle in an Asian population to evaluate the suitability of drilling coracoid and clavicle tunnels for ACCR in Asians.MethodsWidth measurements of 196 coracoids and 189 clavicles were obtained after reviewing all computed tomography (CT) scans of the shoulder performed over a 6 years period. Coracoid measurements were made on the CT slice which showed the maximum cross sectional width of the coracoid base. Medial to lateral measurements of the coracoid width were taken on an axial view, 4 mm above the identified junction of the coracoid base and glenoid base. Antero-posterior clavicle width was measured through a point directly above the midpoint of the coracoid and perpendicular to the long axis of the clavicle.ResultsThe overall mean coracoid width was 14.8 mm ± 2.54 mm (range 9.2-23.3 mm) and clavicle width was 17.1 mm ± 2.72 mm (range 11.1-25.3 mm).ConclusionThe Asian coracoid process is smaller than its Western equivalent. More research is required to validate this conclusion as no cadaveric studies with equivalent measurement techniques have been performed on Asians. Given the potentially narrower dimensions of the Asian coracoid process, extra precautions are required to minimize the risk of iatrogenic coracoid and clavicle fractures.

Arthroscopic Acromioclavicular Joint Treatment With Coracoclavicular Fixation and Allograft Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction for Acute Acromioclavicular Dislocations.

Project description:Treatment of severe acromioclavicular joint injuries remains controversial and has evolved over the past 4-plus decades. Although several variations on reconstruction exist, an ideal technique will likely use a combination of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with suture backup stabilization, minimal drill holes to reduce the risk of fracture, arthroscopic-assisted guidance for anatomic graft and suture placement in and around the coracoid, and fluoroscopic-aided reduction to ensure an anatomic acromioclavicular joint. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe an arthroscopic-assisted coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with allograft using fluoroscopically guided and cerclage-controlled anatomic reduction of the acromioclavicular joint.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Femoral Loop Button Fixation Technique.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common procedure used to treat both acute and chronic patellar instability. Although many variations of MPFL reconstruction have been described, there is no consensus regarding the optimal surgical technique. We describe a technique for MPFL reconstruction with a looped gracilis tendon autograft using suture anchors to secure the graft to the patella and a suspensory loop button system for fixation to the femur. This technique replicates the native shape of the MPFL while minimizing the risk of patellar fracture and allowing for gradual tensioning of the graft.

Treatment of Failed Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstructions: Primary Acromioclavicular Ligament and Capsular Reconstruction and Revision Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are a common injury affecting 2 of every 10,000 people in the general population and comprise 9% to 12% of all injuries to the shoulder. Most injuries occur through contact activity, which drives the acromion inferiorly with the clavicle remaining in its anatomic position, initiating a cascade of injury propagating from the AC ligament followed by failure of the coracoclavicular ligaments. Many techniques have been described for AC joint injuries, without a consensus gold standard. The revision setting offers even less consensus on treatment options and countless difficulties for surgeons. There have been more than 60 described procedures regarding AC and coracoclavicular ligament reconstructions, with significant controversy regarding the optimal intervention for each injury. When these techniques fail, it is important to pinpoint the mechanism of failure to construct a successful plan for revision. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method of primary AC and revision coracoclavicular reconstruction using a combination of autograft and allograft semitendinosus as well as TightRope fixation.
