Objective: To explore the treatment of TOSSY type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation with clavicular hook plate combined with coracoclavicular ligament repair and its clinical effect.Methods: 80 patients with TOSSY type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation who were admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to January 2019 were selected. They were randomly divided into the control group (n = 39, treated with clavicular hook plate) and the observation group (n = 41, treated with clavicular hook plate combined with coracoclavicular ligament repair) by the random number table method. The clinical efficacy in 12 months after operation, related clinical indicators, 12-month postoperative recovery and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results: The excellent and good rate was 92.68% (38/41) in 12 months after operation in the observation group, which was higher than that (76.92%, 30/39) in the control group (p < .05). There were no significant differences in the duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss and HLOS between the observation group and the control group (p > .05). In 12 months after operation, abduction activity and forward flexion activity of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and visual analogue score (VAS) was lower than that of the control group (p < .05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was slightly lower than that in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > .05).Conclusions: For TOSSY type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation, clavicular hook plate combined with coracoclavicular ligament repair has a good clinical efficacy. It can improve shoulder joint function, alleviate shoulder pain and have fewer complications. It can provide a reference for clinical treatment of this type of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

Introduction: Acromioclavicular joint dislocation Type III is still controversial for its management, despite of numerous trials and reviews. Aims: To compare and evaluate the functional and surgical outcome of Rockwood Type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation treated surgically with clavicular Hook plate and Tension Band wiring with K-wires. Methods: In a prospective hospital based interventional study comprising of total 22 patients with a mean age of 31.36 ± 7.53 years who presented with Rockwood Type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation were carried between January 2018 to December 2019. They were graded according to Rockwood et al. classification. All 22 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation. These patients were divided into two groups according to operative procedure; of which 11 patients were treated with clavicular hook plate (CHP) and rest 11 were treated with tension band wiring with K-wires (TBW).  Descriptive comparison was tabulated during pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative periods. The Constant-Murley Shoulder scoring system was applied for evaluating the results.  Results: The mean follow up period was 7.6 months. The clavicular hook plate  was removed at 10 months in one patient due to severe pain and limited range of motion , and removal of Tension Band wiring with K-wires were done in two patients due to wound dehiscence and Kirschner wire back out at 5 and 6 months. The mean Constant- Murley shoulder score was 82.6 (min. 70 & max. 93) in clavicular hook plate and 74.72 (min 68 & max. 84) in Tension band wiring with K-wires which found to be significantly difference in mean scoring between two groups.  Conclusion: Patients treated with Clavicular Hook Plate for Rockwood Type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation had a very good functional and surgical outcome over Tension Band wiring with K-wires.

Clavicular hook plate is known to be an effective treatment on acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury, but there have been some reports of complications, like osteolysis and bony erosion of the undersurface of acromion. Fifty-five year old male underwent open reduction and hook plate insertion on Rockwood type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocation. He complained of protrusion of posterior acromion at 1 month after the surgery, and acromial fracture was noted in simple radiographs. The hook plate was removed and any other treatment for osteosynthesis was refused by the patient. At the 18 months after the surgery, the patient had no pain and a full range of motion with no tenderness around the shoulder joint. After two years, plain radiographs revealed complete bony union of the acromion fracture.
