Percutaneous endobutton fixation of acute acromioclavicular joint injuries and lateral clavicle fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This paper describes a novel technique developed by the senior author to address acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations and certain distal clavicle fractures.

Methods

The procedure employs a four strand, single tunnel, double endobutton repair performed entirely percutaneously, without any arthroscopic guidance or deep surgical dissection.

Results

We present the preliminary results from our series of 6 consecutive patients performed over a period of 18 months. The mean length of surgery was 36min (range 32-40) and the mean correction of coracoclavicular (CC) distance achieved was 12.6?mm (range 10.3-14.1). There was no restriction of movement in any of the patients post-operatively and their average QuickDASH scores at final follow-up was 4.2 (range 0-6.8).

Conclusion

Results in the present series were at least comparable to those for other techniques, validating percutaneous treatment as a solution for acute ACJ dislocations.

Arthroscopy-Assisted All-Suture Coracoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Joint Stabilization in Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries.

Project description:The existing literature agrees on surgical management for Rockwood grade IV and V injuries, but there is no consensus which type of surgery is the most appropriate one. More than 150 surgeries have been described for this condition in the literature. In an injury of less than 3 weeks, most surgeons prefer suture-button devices for coracoclavicular stabilization. Recent biomechanical studies have demonstrated that coracoclavicular stabilization provides good vertical stability but poor horizontal stability of acromioclavicular joint. Hence, they recommend acromioclavicular stabilization along with coracoclavicular stabilization. The use of a suture-button device for coracoclavicular stabilization requires special implants and instruments along with high surgical skills to drill precisely placed holes in the clavicle and the coracoid in order to avoid fractures from the drill hole. Due to relatively smaller clavicle and coracoid in Asian population, making holes in the clavicle and the coracoid has increased risk of fracture. We describe a technique in which no drill holes are made in the clavicle or the coracoid. In our technique, suture tape is used, which is looped around the coracoid and the clavicle, and the limbs are tied over the clavicle to maintain the coracoclavicular distance. The remaining limbs of suture tape is further looped through the tunnels made in acromion and tied over the acromion to augment the acromioclavicular ligament. The potential advantages of this technique are no costly implant and instruments are required, avoidance of complications associated with drill holes in coracoid and clavicle, both coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints are stabilized, direct repair of the acromioclavicular ligament can be performed, and no need of second surgery for implant removal.

Arthroscopic Coracoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Stabilization of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation By Suspensory Fixation System.

Project description:Arthroscopic stabilization of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations using coracoclavicular suspension techniques has become more popular, but lack of horizontal stability is a major concern that furthermore affects the final outcome. We present an arthroscopic technique to stabilize acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations in both the vertical and horizontal planes, with better results than conventional coracoclavicular suspension techniques.

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.

Horizontal and Vertical Stabilization of Acute Unstable Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries Arthroscopy-Assisted.

Project description:We describe the technical aspects of an arthroscopy-assisted procedure indicated for the management of acute unstable acromioclavicular joint injuries, consisting of a synthetic augmentation of both the coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligaments, that anatomically reproduces the coracoclavicular biomechanics and offers fixation that keeps the torn ends of the ligaments facing one another, thus allowing healing of the native structures without the need for a second surgical procedure for metal hardware removal.

Arthroscopically Assisted Comprehensive Double Cerclage Suture Fixation Technique for Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Separation.

Project description:Acromioclavicular dislocations are some of the most frequently recorded and controversial injuries in the athletic population. These injuries have historically been a matter of disagreement between surgeons, particularly when it comes to the surgical technique used to treat them, its approach, or its timing. Consensus over the "gold standard" procedure to treat them is yet to be established. Even though numerous surgical techniques have already been described, the number of complications and loss of reduction remains a matter of concern for treating physicians. Here, we present an arthroscopically assisted coracoclavicular and horizontal acromioclavicular fixation technique in a modified figure-of-eight configuration using 2 strong FiberTape Cerclage sutures, with measurable tension, for the comprehensive treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocations.

Arthroscopic Suture-Button Versus Hook-Plate Fixation for Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries-A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies.

Project description:PurposeTo systematically review the comparative studies in the literature to compare joint stability, clinical outcomes, and complications of acromioclavicular joint fixation using a hook plate versus arthroscopic suture-button (SB) fixation.MethodsA literature search was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines to identify clinical studies comparing the hook plate and arthroscopic SB techniques for acromioclavicular joint injuries. Qualitative statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and a P value of ≤.05 was considered to be statistically significant.ResultsSix clinical studies including 285 patients were included in the systematic review. In 3 of the studies, there was a significant difference in favor of SB for Constant score. Patients treated with the SB technique had a lower visual analog scale score at final follow-up in 2 of the 4 studies that measured this outcome. In addition, there were no significant difference in the rate of complications, revisions, or joint malreduction in any of the included studies.ConclusionsThe arthroscopic SB procedure resulted in lower postoperative pain scores, and improved postoperative functional outcomes, although this was not a clinically significant difference. In addition, there were no significant differences in the rate of complications, revisions, or joint malreduction.Level of evidenceLevel III, systematic review of Level I, II, and III studies.

Distal Clavicle Excision for Acromioclavicular Joint Osteoarthritis Using a Fluoroscopic Kirschner Wire Guide.

Project description:Pathology of the acromioclavicular joint is common and often resistant to conservative treatment, requiring distal clavicle excision for definitive relief. First described as an open technique by Mumford and Gurd in 1941, distal clavicle excision has evolved greatly, with arthroscopic techniques currently predominating. No significant difference has been found in patient satisfaction or rate of complication between the techniques in a recent meta-analysis. Indeed, open excisions are still performed at a high rate, owing to the difficulty in technique and visualization with arthroscopic methods. One major critique of arthroscopic distal clavicle excision is difficulty safeguarding against under- and overexcision of the distal clavicle due to the lack of depth perception and visual reference points of the arthroscopic perspective. This Technical Note and accompanying video describe an indirect subacromial arthroscopic distal clavicle excision using a fluoroscopic Kirschner wire guide placed at the proximal border prior to resection to serve as a visual and mechanical reference to overexcision.

Arthroscopic Distal Clavicle and Medial Border of Acromion Resection for Symptomatic Acromioclavicular Joint Osteoarthritis.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis can lead to persistent shoulder pain. Distal clavicle excision is the most common operative procedure in patients with failed, conservative symptomatic acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis treatment, with some reports of complications. This report describes an alternative procedure that can be used to excise the distal clavicle together with the medial border of the acromion. This technique is a simple procedure because the standard distal clavicle excision can preserve the acromioclavicular ligament, as well as the joint capsule, and achieve an adequate resection length.

Case Report: Midshaft clavicle fracture with concomitant high grade (Type V) acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

Project description:IntroductionConcomitant acromioclavicular joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture are rare injuries, generally resulting from high energy trauma, with limited previous experience in management.CaseA 30 year old male presented following a pushbike accident. He had suffered a head on collision with another cyclist. Radiographic examination demonstrated a displaced midshaft clavicle fracture with a Rockwood Type V acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Operative management was undertaken using a dual plating technique. At six month follow up the patient demonstrated full range of motion and had no pain.ConclusionAppropriate radiographic evaluation and careful intraoperative assessment are required using the principles of management for acromioclavicular joint injuries, along with stabilization of the mid-clavicular fracture to reduce the risk of non-union.
