ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Because the double Endobutton plate has more advantages than the clavicle hook plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation, and the trauma is small; it does not need to be removed through secondary surgery. Thus, it has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. Meta-analysis was used to investigate whether there were differences in the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation between double Endobutton plate and clavicle hook plate so as to provide effective guidance for clinical treatment. METHODS: The database Cochrane library, PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang were searched from the database inception to January 2020. All the literatures related to the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation with double Endobutton plate and clavicle hook plate were collected. The literatures were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria to extract the data and to carry out the relevant analysis. The literatures that meet the requirements were screened out. The quality of the selected relevant literatures was assessed. All outcome indicators were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS: (1) A total of 38 articles were included, and the total number of cases was 2 199, of which 1 035 cases were in the double Endobutton plate group and 1 164 cases were in the clavicle hook plate group. (2) The results showed that the double Endobutton plate group was superior to the clavicle hook plate group in the excellent and good rate [RR=1.19, 95%CI(1.13, 1.26), P < 0.000 01], operation time [MD=10.54, 95% CI(6.09, 15.00), P < 0.000 01], intraoperative blood loss [MD=-14.83, 95%CI(-20.54,-9.13), P < 0.000 01], hospitalization time [MD=-1.44, 95%CI(-2.65,-0.23), P=0.02], incision length [MD=-2.87, 95%CI (-3.60, -2.14), P < 0.000 01], hospitalization cost [MD=-2 442.10, 95% CI(-4 466.34, -417.86), P=0.02], shoulder pain after operation [RR=0.34, 95%CI(0.22, 0.53), P < 0.000 01], visual analogue scale score [MD=-0.85, 95% CI(-1.28, -0.41), P=0.000 2], final Constant-Murley score at 6 months postoperatively [MD=8.82, 95%CI(1.91, 15.72), P=0.01; MD=6.66, 95%CI(4.46, 8.86), P < 0.000 01]CONCLUSION: The treatment of Rockwood III type and above acromioclavicular joint dislocation with double Endobutton plate is superior to that clavicular hook plate. It has the advantages of short operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less trauma, short hospitalization time and less cost, and good functional recovery of shoulder joint after operation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To explore the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament by suspensory fixation to manage the acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation.@*METHODS@#From January 2016 to December 2017, 18 cases of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation were carried out with arthroscopic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament by double Endobutton plate suspensory fixation. Anteroposterior view X-ray plain radiographs were obtained on the second day, 6 months and 12 months after the surgery, MRI was performed in 1 year after operation. Meanwhile, subjective and objective scoring were obtained by Vsual Analogue Scale (VAS), Rating Scale of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Rating Scale (UCLA).@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed up for 12 to 30 months (an average of 18 months). There was no patient with infection, neurovascular injury, loosening and breakage of internal fixation, re-dislocation of acromioclavicular joint, clavicular fracture, coracoid process fracture, etc. Postoperative X-ray showed that all acromioclavicular joints were completely relocated. The follow-up of MRI after 1 year showed no obvious dislocation of acromioclavicular joint and good recovery of acromioclavicular space. Postoperative shoulder joint function, VAS, ASES, UCLA and acromioclavicular distance were significantly improved compared with those before surgery, with statistically significant differences (all <0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Arthroscopic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament by suspensory fixation to manage the acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation has the advantages of minimal invasive, rapid functional recovery and less complications and satisfactory early clinical results.
