Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the clinical outcomes of locking-plate internal fixation with or without coracoclavicular ligament re- pair for Neer type II distal clavicular fractures by a meta- analysis. [Methods] The relevant literatures of the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched. Subsequently, the data were extracted and a meta-analy- sis was conducted by using Review Manager 5.3 software. [Results] A total of 385 patients were enrolled involving 10 studies, including 191 patients in the unrepaired group and 194 patients in the repaired group. As results of the meta-analysis, the repair group had signifi- cantly longer operation time (MD=8.23, 95%CI 3.81~12.66, P<0.001) , significantly larger amount of intraoperative blood loss (MD=18.81, 95%CI 13.79~23.83, P<0.001) , whereas significantly higher Constant-Murley score (MD=7.92, 95%CI 3.53~12.30, P<0.001) , and signif- icantly less postoperative coracoclavicular distance (MD=1.06, 95%CI 0.41~1.72, P<0.001) than the non- repair group. However, there were no significant differences in UCLA score, DASH score, fracture healing time, and incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05) . [Conclusion] The coracoclavicular ligament repair combined with locking- plate internal fixation does achieve considerably better clinical outcomes than the counterpart without coracoclavicular ligament repair for Neer type II distal clavicular frac- tures in terms of Constant-Murley score and coracoclavicular interval postoperatively, regardless of longer operation time and more intraop- erative blood loss.
