ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To date, mid-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of treatment for acute Rockwood type V acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations using 2 EndoButton devices (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA, USA) have not been reported in the literature.METHODS:
We reviewed 25 patients (15 men and 10 women) with acute AC joint separations who were treated with truly anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using 2 EndoButton devices between May 2013 and October 2015. Clinical assessments consisted of the visual analog scale score and the Constant score. Radiologic evaluation was achieved by measuring the coracoclavicular distance and AC distance. Previously, this same patient cohort was reviewed after 2 years of follow-up using similar methods.RESULTS:
All 25 patients were available for mid-term follow-up 5 years after the operation. The mean duration of follow-up was 76 ± 7 months (range, 66-90 months). Of the patients, 23 (92%) continued to be satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment results. The visual analog scale score and Constant score improved significantly when compared with the baseline scores (0 ± 0 and 96 ± 3, respectively, at 5-year follow-up vs. 5 ± 1 and 45 ± 6, respectively, postoperatively) and remained essentially unchanged when compared with the 2-year follow-up data (0 ± 0 and 96 ± 3, respectively, at 5-year follow-up vs. 0 ± 1 and 95 ± 3, respectively, at 2-year follow-up). On the 5-year radiographs, 3 patients (12%) demonstrated loss of reduction and 5 patients (20%) had calcifications noted. There was, however, no significant difference in clinical outcomes or patient satisfaction when comparing patients with radiographically abnormal findings vs. patients with anatomic reduction.CONCLUSION:
Truly anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using 2 EndoButton devices results in satisfactory functional outcomes at 5 years postoperatively. In contrast to baseline, all cases improved significantly.Palavras-chave
