BACKGROUND: The coracoclavicular fixation with suture anchors adds stability to type IIb distal clavicle fractures fixed with a plate and screws when loaded to failure. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between the use of a locking compression plate (LCP) with all-suture anchor fixation and hook LCP fixation of Neer IIb distal clavicle fractures.
METHODS: A total of 82 consecutive patients who underwent plate fixation for Neer IIb distal clavicle fractures were included. The subjects were divided into two groups: an LCP with all-suture anchor fixation group and hook LCP fixation group. For clinical assessments, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Korean shoulder score (KSS), and Constant score were recorded. A percentage of the coracoclavicular distance (CCD%) was used to evaluate fracture reduction. Typical reported complications, such as secondary dislocation, implant failure or loosening, peri-implant fracture, acromion osteolysis, stiffness, peri-anchor osteolysis, postoperative acromioclavicular joint arthrosis, nonunion, or delayed union, were also analyzed.
RESULTS: There were no differences in the clinical and radiological outcomes at the final follow-up between the two groups. The period for bone union and CCD% showed no significant differences between groups. Stiffness at 3 months after surgery of LCP with all-suture anchor fixation (n = 3, 10.7%) was less than that of hook LCP fixation (n = 17, 31.5%). The complication rate also showed no significant differences between groups. However, LCP with all-suture anchor fixation had anchor-related complications, although it can reduce hook-related complications.
CONCLUSION: LCP with all-suture anchor fixation showed satisfactory outcomes in comparison with hook LCP fixation. In Neer IIb distal clavicle fractures, LCP with all-suture anchor fixation is a useful method for the maintenance of reduction, avoiding implant removal, and hook-related complications. However, anchor fixation should be carefully used, especially in osteoporotic patients or patients with underlying diseases.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective study.
