We investigated the complications and frequency of hook plate fixation in patients with shoulder trauma. We reviewed 216 cases of hook plate fixation use at our hospital between January 2010 and May 2020. Finally, we included 76 cases of acute distal clavicle fracture (DCF) and 84 cases of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation (ACD). We investigated all complications after hook plate use, bony union in the DCF group, and reduction loss in the ACD group. We defined painful shoulder stiffness (PSS) as aggravating resting pain with stiff shoulder, and pain on shoulder elevation (PSE) as continued shoulder pain on elevation without PSS before plate removal. PSS was managed with intra-articular steroid injections or manipulation with or without arthroscopic capsular release (ACR). PSS occurred in 36 and 33 cases of DCF and ACD, respectively. PSE occurred in 17 of 76 fractures and 13 of 84 dislocations. However, no iatrogenic rotator cuff injury was verified by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with PSS or PSE. Subacromial erosion in patients with hook plate fixation should be considered a sequela and not a complication because it is unavoidable in surgery with an AO-type hook plate. The most common complication was PSS, followed by PSE.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022 Aug 6;23(1):756. Epub 2022 Aug 6.

Department of Orthopedics SurgeryDonghu DistrictJiangxi Province, Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital, (The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang Medical College), 330006. No. 92 Aiguo Road, Nanchang, People's Republic of China.

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic-assisted fixation using the Tight-rope system and clavicular hook plate fixation in the treatment of Neer IIB distal clavicle fractures.

Methods: We enrolled 48 consecutive patients with Neer IIB distal clavicle fractures who were treated at our institution from February 2016 and August 2020. These patients were divided into 2 groups based on the fixation method (16 cases with Tight-rope system and 32 cases with clavicular hook plate), and demographics and clinical characteristics of patients in different groups were compared.

Subclavian vessel injury from chest-drain malposition in the treatment of a pneumothorax in the presence of a lateral third open clavicular fracture.

Authors:

Radiol Case Rep 2022 Sep 5;17(9):3436-3438. Epub 2022 Jul 5.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, DN33 2BA, Grimsby, United Kingdom.

We report the unorthodox injury of the subclavian vessels by the malposition of a chest drain, for the treatment of a pneumothorax in the presence of a lateral third open fracture of the left clavicle. This case presents the first report of a ruptured subclavian vein and cephalic vein after the insertion of a chest drain for a pneumothorax. A systematic search performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science found no similar cases documented in the literature. Read More

RESUMPTION OF COMPLETE WEIGHT BEARING AFTER OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF BIMALLEOLAR FRACTURES USING LOCKING PLATES.

Authors:
Henri Peuchot Julie Falguières Mathieu Cermolacce Marie Le Baron Xavier Flecher

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022 Jul 28:103382. Epub 2022 Jul 28.

Institut du mouvement et de l'appareil locomoteur, CHU Marseille Nord, chemin des Bourrely, 13015 Marseille, France.

Introduction: Bimalleolar fractures represent 9% of fractures and affect 187/100,000 people per year. The gold standard for osteosynthesis is a one-third tubular or lateral locking plate and compression screwing or use of tension band wiring, with complete weight bearing planned around the 6 week. The development of locking plates seems to allow earlier resumption of weight bearing. Read More

J Orthop Surg Res 2022 Jul 30;17(1):369. Epub 2022 Jul 30.

Joint Reconstruction Research Center, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Background: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal clavicle fracture fixation with a hook plate versus the standard non-locking T-plate for unstable Neer type II fractures.

Methods: A prospective matched cohort study including two groups of hook plates and T-plates fixation was conducted in our two tertiary trauma centers. Patients with distal clavicle fractures Neer type II were assessed for union and the Constant-Murley score (CMS) at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups. Read More

Arthroscopic-Assisted Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction.

Authors:
James R Satalich Alexander Vap

Cureus 2022 Jun 17;14(6):e26036. Epub 2022 Jun 17.

Orthopedic Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, USA.

There are many documented techniques for the surgical treatment of a chronic acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction, but unfortunately, there is no gold standard. Treatment options include hook plates, allograft reconstruction, and suture fixation, among many others. This technique is an innovative method for looping the allograft around the coracoid and clavicle and using the hook plate for fixation. Read More
