Abstract Background: The treatment of calcaneal tuberosity fracture (beak fracture) is very tricky. Patients’ ankle function may be badly affected by skin flap necrosis and internal fixation failure. This study presented a simple, and safe internal fixation technique which is to fix the fracture fragment with a pre-contoured “L-form” hook plate.Methods: A retrospective study was done to analyze patients with calcaneal tuberosity fracture who were treated with pre-contoured “L-form” hook plate fixation from January 2015 to February 2020. When the patients could complete single-legged heel raise tests, and when they achieved clinical healing criteria were reviewed. Functional assessment was performed according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot (AOFAS-AH) scores and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was recommended for assessment of pain intensity (PI).Results: There were a total of 15 patients of calcaneal tuberosity fracture (beak fracture) treated with the pre-contoured “L-form” hook plate fixation technique, among which eight patients were female and the others were male, with the age ranging from 35 to 69 years (average of 55.3±9.0 years). And the mean duration of follow-up was 22.53±5.78 months (range: 12 to 36 months). 11 cases underwent emergency surgery. After the operation, there were no complications such as wound dehiscence, poor wound healing, infections, or plate exposure, no sural nerve injuries or venous thromboembolic events. Also, there was no loss of reduction or fixation failure in the follow-up. All 15 cases achieved clinical healing at 8-13 weeks (average 10.5±1.4 weeks) postoperatively. They were able to perform the test on their affected leg after 3.7±0.7 months (3-5 months) on average. The preoperative VAS and AOFAS-AH scores were 5.7±0.6 and 24.0±9.9 respectively, while the postoperative VAS and AOFAS-AH scores at the last follow-up were 1.3±0.5 and 93.8±5.2 (p<0.001).Conclusion: Emergency open reduction and internal fixation should be provided as soon as possible. For patients with Beavis type II beak fractures, the pre-contoured “L-form” hook plate fixation technique helps them restore normal ankle function. This simple, safe, and strong internal fixation technique can be one of the treatment options for avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity.

Abstract Background Mini-hook plate has been described for the treatment of various small avulsion fragments in the hand. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes after mini-hook plate fixation in patients with an avulsion fracture around the interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand. Methods Nineteen patients with avulsion fractures around the interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand were included in this study. Seven patients had a mallet fracture, and 12 patients had other phalangeal avulsion fractures including central slip, collateral ligament, volar plate, and flexor avulsion fractures. The osseous union and functional outcomes, including finger joint motion, joint stability, pinching strength, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score, were evaluated. Results The mean duration of follow-up was 33.8 months. All patients in mallet and other phalangeal avulsion fractures achieved osseous union between the avulsion fragment and phalangeal bone, and there was no joint subluxation. There were no significant differences in the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand scores. However, the patients with mallet fracture have lower mean percentage values of the total active range of motion and pinching strength than other phalangeal avulsion fractures. We abandoned this procedure in mallet fractures because the early results after mini-hook plate fixation in mallet fractures appeared unfavorable. Conclusion These results suggest that the mini-hook plate fixation can provide sufficient stability and good clinical outcomes in those with phalangeal avulsion fractures. However, the outcomes for mallet fractures were not as good as those for other phalangeal avulsion fractures.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of hook plate fixation in acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations and distal clavicle fractures.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a series of 60 consecutive patients with hook plate fixation for AC joint dislocation (group I) and distal clavicle fracture (group II). Groups I and II had 39 and 21 patients, respectively. Clinical results were evaluated using the pain visual analogue scale (VAS), simple shoulder test, and Constant-Murley scores. In addition, subacromial erosion and stiffness were evaluated as complications.RESULTS: At the removal, the pain VAS was 2.69 ± 1.30 and 4.10 ± 2.14 in groups I and II, respectively, which were significantly different (p=0.003). The simple shoulder test score was 9.59 ± 1.60 and 7.81 ± 2.67 in groups I and II, respectively, which were also significantly different (p=0.002). Subacromial erosion was significantly more frequent in group II (14/21 patients, 66.7%) than in group I (15/39 patients, 38.5%) (p=0.037), and stiffness was also higher in group II (17/21 patients, 81.0%) than in group I (22/39 patients, 56.4%), but it was not significant.CONCLUSIONS: Hook plate fixation showed good clinical and functional results for the treatment of acute unstable AC joint dislocation and distal clavicle fracture. But, in distal clavicle fractures, there are more subacromial erosion and stiffness compare with acute unstable AC joint dislocation.
