Objective: To compare therapeutic effects between clavicular hook plate and tension band fixation for the treatment of Allman type II to III sternoclavicular joint dislocations.
Methods: A retrospective survey was analyzed from May 2000 to September 2008. A total of 31 patients with Allman type II to III sternoclavicular joint dislocations were followed up. Sixteen patients were fixed with the clavicular hook plate (Group A) including 11 males and 5 females, with a mean age of (37.4 +/- 7.3) years. Fifteen patients were treated with tension band fixation (Group B) including 9 males and 6 females, with a mean age of (35.6 +/- 5.1) years. The indexes of intra-operation and during the hospital stay, the clinical outcomes and postoperative complications were statistically compared.
Results: All the patients were followed up for 12 to 37 months, with an average of 20 months. There was no significant differences in data of operative time, blood loss and length of incision between the two group (P > 0.05); however, the economic cost was significantly much more in Group A (P < 0.01). Also, there was statistically difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P = 0.023), which were 2 patients in Group A and 8 patients in Group B. According to Rockwood evaluation criteria, in group A, 13 patients got an excellent result, 2 good and 1 poor; in group B, 10 patients got an excellent result, 3 good, 1 poor and 1 bad. There were no statistical difference in good and excellent rate.
Conclusion: The clavicular hook plate for the treatment of Allman type II to III sternoclavicular joint dislocation is believed to be as good as tension band fixation, but there are fewer complications and in favor of early exercise.

Functional Outcomes of the Management of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation With a Clavicle Hook Plate: A Retrospective Study.

Orthopaedic Surgery, Sheikh Zayed Medical College and Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan, PAK.
Background: Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), accounting for 9%-12% of all shoulder injuries, is a frequent shoulder problem. Clavicular hook plates have proven to be a successful implant choice for surgical management. The benefit of this method is that it preserves the diarthrosis of the ACJ while reducing dislocation.

Background: Subacromial osteolysis is a typical complication following hook plate fixation for acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation. Many factors can affect the occurrence and progression of subacromial osteolysis (SAO). The objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of the implant removal time and acromion-hook angle for subacromial osteolysis following hook plate fixation for AC dislocation.

Article Synopsis
- Clavicle fractures are common among young people due to activities like car accidents and sports, with distal fractures having a high non-union rate when treated non-operatively.
- * A study assessed two surgical techniques, Tension Band Wiring (TBW) and Hook plate, on 38 patients with unstable lateral clavicle fractures, noting outcomes over 12 months.
- * Results showed high union rates, with 100% in the Hook plate group and 95% in the TBW group, while both techniques yielded similar functional outcomes despite some complications.
Simultaneous clavicular hook plate fixation in bilateral distal clavicle fractures (Neer type II): A case report.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Kastamonu University Faculty of Medicine, Kastamonu, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Bilateral distal clavicle fractures (BDCF), particularly of Neer type II, are rare injuries, prompting this study to explore surgical treatment through a case report.
- A patient involved in a motor vehicle accident showed significant pain and deformity in both shoulders but had no neurological or vascular issues elsewhere.
- The surgery involved using a neutral-angled hook plate for both clavicles, and by the 12th week post-op, X-rays indicated full healing with no restrictions in shoulder movement.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate the CT imaging characteristics of coracoid process fractures related to acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation and propose a new classification system for these injuries.
- Researchers reviewed the medical records of 18 patients who underwent surgery for these fractures between May 2012 and June 2021, specifically looking at fracture types and their relationship with the scapula.
- The results highlighted three specific types of fractures observed through CT imaging, with 15 instances falling into type II (hinged fracture), emphasizing diverse manifestations and the necessity for precise classification in surgical management.
