Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to introduce a new surgical technique and to evaluate the preliminary results after operative treatment with using TightRope$^{(R)}$ for treating acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Material and Methods: We studies 10 patients who were followed up for more than 6 months after operative treatment with using an TightRope$^{(R)}$. A longitudinal incision approximately 4cm in length was made from 1cm medial to the acromioclavicular joint to the coracoid process, and then coracocalvicular ligament augmentation using TightRope$^{(R)}$ was done after splitting the deltoid. For postoperative stability, two 1.6 mm Kirschner wires were inserted temporarily across the acromioclavicular joint in all cases. The radiologic results on the serial plain radiographs and the clinical results according to the UCLA score were analyzed. Results: Radiologically, 7 cases showed anatomical reduction, 2 cases showed a slightly loss of reduction and 1 case showed partial loss of reduction. Clinically, 6 cases were excellent, 3 cases were good and 1 case was fair. Conclusion: Coracoclavicular ligament augmentation using TightRope$^{(R)}$ for treating acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a minimally invasive, safe procedure that provides satisfactory radiologic and clinical preliminary results. Yet the long-term results have to be analyzed to determine the final results of this procedure.

목적: 급성 견봉 쇄골 관절 탈구에서 TightRope$^{(R)}$를 이용한 수술 술기를 소개하고 유용성 및 예비 결과를 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 총 10예를 대상으로 하였으며, 평균 추시 기간은 12.4(8~16)개월이었다. 견봉 쇄골 관절의 내측 1 cm 부위에서 오구돌기 방향으로 4 cm의 피부 절개를 가하여 삼각근을 분리한 후 TightRope$^{(R)}$를 이용하여 오구 쇄골 인대 강화술을 시행하였으며, 술후 안정성을 주기 위해 2개의 1.6 mm K-강선을 이용하여 일시적인 견봉 쇄골 관절 고정술을 시행하였다. 방사선학적 평가는 단순 방사선 사진을 이용하였고, 임상적 평가는 UCLA 평가 점수를 이용하였다. 결과: 방사선학적 평가에서는 해부학적 정복이 7예, 경도의 정복 소실이 2예, 중등도의정복 소실이 1예였다. UCLA 점수는 평균 30.8(24~35)점으로 우수 6예, 양호 3예, 보통 1예였다. 결론: 급성 견봉 쇄골 관절 탈구에서 TightRope$^{(R)}$를 이용한 치료는 최소 침습적이며, 비교적 술기가 간편하고 안정된 고정을 얻을 수 있는 방법으로 생각된다. 그러나 정확한 결과 분석을 위해서는 장기 추시 관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
