ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the result of distal clavicle fracture treated by Hook plate (LCP clavicle hook plate, Synthes(R), Paoli, Switzerland). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
10 patients with distal clavicle fracture treated by Hook plate from April 2008 to March 2010 were analyzed. The average follow-up period was 10 (range 4 to 26) months. The reduction was qualified and evaluated according to the immediate post-operative, final radiographs. We analyze the result by UCLA score and Kona's functional evaluation.RESULTS:
By radiologic evaluation, all cases showed anatomical reduction and solid union. By Kona's functional evaluation, there are 7 cases with excellent results, 3 cases with good results. The UCLA score was average 33.3 (range 29 to 35) points followed by 6 excellent cases, 4 good cases. As complication, 1 case showed post-operative clavicle shaft fracture and 1 case showed acromial osteolysis on X-rays. We found no complications such as skin irritation, infection, loosening of screws, and plate failure.CONCLUSION:
The Hook plate fixation for distal clavicle fracture is considered effective method for satisfactory reduction and rigid fixation, a lower incidence of nonunion and excellent clinical result.
