Comparison of the outcomes of double ENDOBUTTON CL plate versus clavicular Hook-plate in the treat-ment ofTossyⅢtype dislocation of a cromioclavicular articulation
Abstract：Objective To compare the clinical effects of double ENDOBUTTON CL plate versus clavicular hook p-late in the treatment of Tossy Ⅲ type dislocation of acromioclavicular articulation .Methods Sixty-seven pa-tients with Tossy Ⅲtype acromioclavieular dislocation were treated with open reduction and internal fixation .Out of the 67 patients, 32 patients were treated with clavicular hook , 35 patients with ENDOBUTTON CL system .The out-comes were graded into excellent , good, fair and poor according to the Constant CR criterion .Results All 67 pa-tients were followed up from 8 to 28 months[averaged (12.4 ±2.6)months].All acromioclavicular joint dislocation was reduced .All patients recovered from abnormal function and no complication happened .According to the scales of Constant CR, the post-operation shoulder-joint function were excellent in 11 patients, good in 9 patients, fair in 7 pa-tients and poor in 5 patients in the clavicular hook group .The rate of both excellent and good were 62.5%(20/32);the post-operation shoulder-joint function were excellent in 16 patients, good in 14 patients, fair in 4 patients and poor in 1 patient in the ENDOBUTTON CL System group .The rate of both excellent and good were 87.7%(30/35). The difference of the rate of both excellent and good had statistical significance between the two groups (χ2 =4.7577 , P<0.05 ) .Conclusion In the treatment of Tossy Ⅲ acromioclavicular dislocation , fixation of double ENDOBUT-TON CL plate is better than hook plate fixation .
