Clavicular crook plate fixation in combination with allogenous tendon transplantation reconstructs coracoclavicular ligament:Functional evaluation / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

Clavicular crook plate is designed based on anatomic features of acromioclavicular joint,which matches clavicle appearance,and well attaches the shaft.Not passing through the joint,the internal fixation exhibits many advantages,such as convenient usage,reliable fixation and micromovement of fixed acromioclavicular joint.So the patients could move the joint early and avoid osteoarthritis.Allogenous tendon has abundant sources,simple sampling process,and short repairing duration and can reduce injury to patients.Cryopreserved allogenous tendon has low antigenicity and immunological refection,good histocompatibility.Reconstructed coracoclavicular ligament by allogenous tendon has good material intensity,and can meet the requirements of local stress,better substitute integrity and function of coracoclavicular ligament.Moreover,it has precise effect and simple operation.It acts as long-term fixator following plate removal,thus is important supplement of clavicular crook plate fixation.Clavicular crook plate fixation in combination with allogenous tendon transplantation reconstructs acromioclavicular joint stability,effectively provides early mechanical stability and subsequent biological stability,and maximizes restoration of acromioclavicular joint structure and function.
