Abstract:[Objective] To introduce the surgical technique and preliminary clinical outcome of adjustable suture-plate loop for open re- duction and internal fixation of acute acromioclavicular dislocation through mini incisions. [Methods] A total of 15 patients received aboves- aid surgical treatment for Tossy type III acute acromioclavicular dislocation. A small longitudinal incision was made on the lateral body sur- face of the coracoid process, while a small transvers incision was made on the anterior side of the distal clavicle to expose the coracoid pro- cess and clavicle. As the locator was positioned on the distal clavicle and the base of coracoid process, a guide needle was inserted, and bone tunnels 4.5mm in diameter was drilled. An adjustable suture- plate loop with a four- leaf clover- shaped titanium plate was introduced through the tunnels, and then the loop was tightened to reduce and fix the acromioclavicular joint. [Results] All patients had operation per- formed successfully with operation time of (36.5±15.2) min and total incision length of (4.3±0.2) cm, and got incisions healed well. At the lat- est follow-up lasted for (12.7±3.3) months, the VAS score and Constant-Murley score, as well as abduction, external rotation, internal rota- tion, and forward flexion range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder significantly improved compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05). [Conclusion] This adjustable suture-plate loop for open reduction and internal fixation of acute acromioclavicular dislocation through mini inci- sions has the advantages of less iatrogenic trauma, shorter operation time, and surgical operation under direct vision without needing the tech- nique basis of shoulder arthroscopy.
