A Self‐Designed Endobutton Installation Device for Coracoclavicular Stabilization in Acute Rockwood Type III Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation

Objective Endobutton technique could provide flexible coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization for acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation and achieved good clinical outcomes. However, the difficult part of this technique was placement of the Endobutton to the coracoid base. In this study, we designed...

description Objective Endobutton technique could provide flexible coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization for acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation and achieved good clinical outcomes. However, the difficult part of this technique was placement of the Endobutton to the coracoid base. In this study, we designed an Endobutton installation device to place the Endobutton at the coracoid base. And we examined the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with acute Rockwood type III ACJ dislocation repaired with Endobutton using this device. Methods We designed an Endobutton installation device to place the Endobutton at the coracoid base to achieve CC stabilization. We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients with acute Rockwood type III ACJ dislocation who underwent CC stabilization with Endobuttons placed either using this novel device (group I, n = 19) or the traditional technique (CC stabilization without using special device, group II, n = 23) from January 2015 to April 2020. The two groups were compared regarding the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and clinical and radiologic outcomes at final follow‐up. The operation‐related complications were also evaluated. The Student's t test and the Mann–Whitney U‐test were used to compare differences in continuous variables. Differences in categorical variables were assessed with either the Pearson's chi‐squared test or Fisher's exact test. Results Forty‐two patients were clinically followed up for a minimum of 12 months. Compared with group II, group I had a significantly shorter mean operative time (56.05 ± 7.82 min vs. 65.87 ± 7.43 min, p < 0.01) and significantly lesser mean intraoperative blood loss (67.89 ± 14.75 mL vs. 94.78 ± 25.01 mL, p < 0.01). At final follow‐up, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the visual analog scale score for pain, Oxford Shoulder Score, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, and postoperative CC distance of the affected side. Loss of reduction occurred in four patients in group I and three patients in group II (p = 0.68); there were no other operation‐related complications in either group. Conclusions The Endobutton installation device makes placement of the Endobutton at the coracoid base easier and achieves satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes without additional complications in acute Rockwood type III ACJ dislocation.
