목적: 견봉 쇄골 탈구의 수술적 치료에서 갈고리 금속판의 견봉측 고정장치 (acromial locking system)가 유용한지에 대한 조사를 위하여 견봉측 고정장치가 있는 Wolter 금속판과 그것이 없는 AO hook 금속판 두 가지 방법의 임상적 결과와 합병증을 비교하고자 하였다. 방법: Rockwood 분류 III-V형의 견봉 쇄골 관절 탈구로 수술한 환자 중 1년 이상 추시가 가능했던 71명을 대상으로 하였다. 이 중 Wolter 금속판을 이용하여 수술을 한 환자 39명, AO hook 금속판을 이용한 환자가 32명이었다. 술 후 평가는 Constant-Murley 평가 지표를 이용하여 수술 후 약 1개월, 3개월, 6개월, 12개월에 관절 기능을 점수화하고 운동범위를 측정하였으며 금속판과 골의 방사선적 합병증을 조사 하였다. 결과: 수술 후 1년 추시 Constant-Murley score는 Wolter 금속판 $85.2{\pm}5.3$점, AO Hook 금속판 $83.2{\pm}6.8$점으로 유의한 차이 없이 우수하였다. 운동범위는 수술 후 1개월 및 3개월에서 Wolter 금속판의 운동 범위가 유의하게 높게 호전 되었으나 6개월 이후에는 AO hook 금속판과 차이가 없었다. 수술 후 합병증으로 Wolter 금속판은 4예에서 방사선상 나사못의 이완 및 파열이 나타났으며, AO hook 금속판은 7예에서 견봉하 골용해 소견과 금속판 주위 골절이 나타났다. 결론: 견봉측 고정장치 유무에 상관없이 두 가지 수술 방법 모두 장기적인 임상 결과는 우수하며, 유용한 방법이라고 생각되나 견봉측 고정장치가 없는 AO hook 금속판이 수술 후 초기에 관절운동 제한이 더 많이 관찰 되었으며, 견봉의 골용해도 많았다. 그러나 Wolter 금속판은 큰 절개가 필요하다는 등의 단점이 있고 나사못의 이완 및 파열, 견봉 골절 등이 나타날 수 있어 두 방법 각각의 장단점이 있다고 판단되었다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the radiologic results of patients who underwent surgery with a hook plate and a locking plate in distal clavicle fractures. Methods: Sixty patients underwent surgical treatment for Neer type IIa, IIb, III, and V distal clavicle fracture. Twenty-eight patients underwent fracture fixation with a hook plate and 32 with a locking plate. Coracoclavicular distance was measured on standard anteroposterior radiographs before and after the surgery, and union was confirmed by radiograph or computed tomography taken at 6 months postoperatively. Other radiologic complications like osteolysis was also checked. Results: Bony union was confirmed in 59 patients out of 60 patients, and 1 patient in the hook plate group showed delayed union. Coracoclavicular distance was decreased more in the hook plate group after surgery (p<0.01). After 6 weeks of the hook plate removal, the coracoclavicular distance was increased a little compared to before metal removal, but there was no difference compared to the contralateral shoulder. Eleven out of 28 patients (39.3%) showed osteolysis on the acromial undersurface in the hook plate group. Conclusions: Both the hook plate group and the locking plate group showed satisfactory radiologic results in distal clavicle fractures. Both hook plate and locking plate could be a good treatment option if it is used in proper indication in distal clavicle fracture with acromioclavicular subluxation or dislocation.

Fractures at the lateral end of the clavicle inevitably require surgical treatment as there is high potential for delayed union or nonunion. Acromioclavicular dislocation also requires stable and solid fixation for healing, and surgical treatment is recommended for the maintenance of joint function. The hook plate maintains the biomechanics of the acromioclavicular joint, enabling early range of motion. Therefore, for the past 10 years, the hook plate has been widely used in distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint injuries. However, the hook plate is associated with several complications, such as proximal clavicle fractures, widening of the hook hole, rotator cuff tear, subacromial impingement, and often acromial fractures. We report on two unusual cases of acromion fracture after hook plate fixation in patients with distal clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular dislocation alongside a literature review.

Background: Kirschner's wire (K-wire) transfixation and locking hook plate fixation techniques are widely used in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes between K-wires transfixation and a locking hook plate fixation technique. Methods: Seventy-seven patients with acute ACJ dislocation managed with K-wire (56 shoulders) and locking hook plate (21 shoulders) were enrolled for this study. The mean follow-up period was 61 months. Results: At the last follow-up, the shoulder rating scale of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) was higher in patients treated with locking hook plate than with K-wires ($33.2{\pm}2.7$ vs. $31.3{\pm}3.4$, p=0.009). In radiologic assessments, coracoclavicular distance (CCD) (7.9 mm vs. 7.7 mm, p=0.269) and acromioclavicular distance (ACD) (3.0 mm vs. 1.9 mm, p=0.082) were not statistically different from contralateral unaffected shoulder in locking hook plate fixation group, but acromioclavicular interval (ACI) was significant difference. However, there were significant differences in ACI, CCD, and ACD in K-wire fixation group (p<0.001). Eleven complications (20%) occurred in K-wire transfixation group and 2 subacromial erosions on computed tomography scan occurred in locking hook plate fixation group. Conclusions: ACJ stabilization was achieved in acute ACJ dislocations treated with K-wires or locking hook plates. Locking hook plate can provide higher UCLA shoulder score than K-wire and maintain CCD, and ACD without ligament reconstruction. K-wire transfixation technique resulted in a higher complication rate than locking hook plate.

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.

We experienced acromial erosion and subsequent fracture after the treatment of Rockwood type V acromioclavicular dislocation with hook plate and coracoclavicular ligament augmentation. It was treated by using a surgical technique to address an acromial fracture and subsequent losses of reduction in acromioclavicular joint with two trans-acromial cortical screws (crossbar technique). The reduction state of acromioclavicular joint could be maintained by these two screws. Our crossbar technique could be considered as a good salvage procedure for the reduction loss caused by cutout or significant erosion of acromion after insertion of clavicular hook plate.

Purpose: Unstable Neer type II lateral end fracture of clavicle may be required operation. The purpose of this study is the effectiveness of the use of Hook plate in the management of unstable Neer type II fractures. We preliminary reported the results of Unstable Neer type II lateral end fracture of clavicle using by Hook plate. Material and Methods: From May 1998 to May 2002, we operated 6 cases unstable Neer type II lateral end fracture of clavicle with Hook plate by one surgeon. We checked radiologic evaluation and disappearance of pain per 1 week, and evaluated improvement of range of motion per 2 week. And we followed up at each interval 3 months,6 months, 12 months and after that per 6months interval, at that each time we checked stress radiogram of shoulder and functional evaluation. The shoulder function was evaluated using Modified Shoulder Rating Scale (MSRC) for Distal Clavicle Fracture and UCLA score. Average follow up was on 37.2 (12∼57) months. Results: All 6 patients were regained satisfactory function. Average MSRC for distal clavicle fracture was 17.3 (15∼20) and average UCLA score was 33.2 (31∼35) at last follow up. Conclusion: There are many advantage of the use of Hook plate on management of unstable Neer II distal clavicle fracture in spite of several disadvantage. There have not yet been reported in our country. So we obtained good to excellent clinical result in surgical treatment of 6 cases on type II displaced lateral end fracture of the clavicle. But we think that more cases will be review and longer follow up will be needed in the future.

Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate whether a modified fluoroscopic technique for positioning a hook plate affected the clinical results of treating Neer type II distal clavicle fractures and Rockwood type V acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations with this device. Methods: The study was a retrospective consecutive case series with data analysis. Sixty-four patients with a Neer type II distal clavicle fracture or a Rockwood type V AC joint injury treated between March 2009 and June 2013 were divided into 2 groups: traditional fluoroscopic technique (traditional view, 31 patients) or modified fluoroscopic technique ('hook' view, 33 patients). A visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the modified University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale score, and radiographic osteolysis were the main outcome measures. Results: The traditional group included a significantly larger number of patients with acromial osteolysis than the hook view group: 23 patients (74.2%) vs. 11 patients (33.3%), respectively (p=0.01). Before plate removal, the hook group reported less pain and higher UCLA shoulder scale scores than the traditional group: average VAS score, 1.55 vs. 2.26, respectively; average UCLA score, 30.88 vs. 27.06, respectively. However, there was no significant difference after plate removal. Conclusions: The hook view allows more accurate bending of the hook plate around the contour of the acromion, resulting in decreased osteolysis, decreased pain, and better function with the plate in situ.
