EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT DISLOCATION BY HOOK PLATE WITHOUT CORACOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: The study was designed to assess the result of acromioclavicular joint dislocation treatment by hook plate without coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction at Thong Nhat hospital. Subject and methods: A prospective study. 80 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation grade III, IV, V, VI according to Rockwood classification at Thong Nhat Hospital from January 2018 to January 2023. Follow up for 1 year. Results: There are 53 males and 27 females. The mean age was 42.7 ± 18.6 (from 17 to 71). The surgery effectively reduced the coracoclavicular distance from 18.8 ± 2.4 mm preoperatively to 8.8 ± 0.5 mm postoperatively (p<0,01). The Constant-Murley shoulder function scores improved significantly over time, and most patients reported high satisfaction post-surgery. Conclusion: Locking hook plate fixation is an effective treament for anatomical restoration and functional improvement of the shoulder joint, resulting in favorable outcomes and high patient satisfaction
