Conflict of interests The speaker has the following to disclose related directly or indirectly to the subject of this presentation (period: past three years). Companies, I worked for in the last 3 years: OKMEYDANI TRAİNİNG AND RESEARCH HOSP
Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey Results of minimal invasive coracoclavicular fixation by double button lift-up system in Neer type II distal clavicle fractures Suleyman Semih Dedeoglu, Yunus Imren, Haluk Cabuk, Murat Cakar, Samet Murat Arslan, and Cem Zeki Esenyel Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Background Neer Type 2 fractures – “unstable” Deforming forces Various fixation methods: - K wire, screw, Knowles pin - plate (low profile, hook) - Tension band, anchor, CC lig. reconstruction - Endobutton Gold Standard ? Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Purpose Evaluate clinical and functional outcome of indirect fracture reduction performed by coracoclavicular fixation with minimal invasive double button lift-up system in Neer type IIa unstable fractures of distal clavicle. Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Materials and Method 2012 - 2015 22 patients (M/F: 19/3) Displaced Neer type IIa distal clavicle fracture Mean age: 39 (21-60) Dominant extremity affected in 14 cases Traffic accident (n: 14), falls (n: 6), sports injury (n: 2) Mean time to surgery : 5 days (3-8) Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Materials and Method Same surgeon Indirect reduction and osteosynthesis by coracoclavicular fixation with minimal invasive double button lift-up system (TightRope™ system, Arthrex) under fluoroscopy Standard sling for 3 weeks, pandular exercises on postop day 1. Active ROM and muscle strengthening at 6 weeks X-rays, ASES and Constant scores were obtained. Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Surgical technique Beach chair position under fluoroscopy Haluk Çabuk 31.05.2017 -1189
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Results Mean duration of surgery: 40 min. (30-55) Mean union time: 14 weeks (7-21) Mean ASES and Constant scores: 79.9 (66.9–88.3) and 82.2 (71–100), respectively. Return to daily activity: 4.5 months 20 patients had complete recovery and pain relief at first year. Two cases had prolonged shoulder pain Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Results No - Wound problems - Loss of reduction - AC joint arthrosis - Osteolysis, impingement - Clavicular shortening at the end of first year. Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Limitations Results of single centre, single surgeon Low number of cases with short term follow-up May not be appropriate for comminuted fractures Clear definition for the extent of the tension of the rope Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033 Conclusions Indirect osteosynthesis by coracoclavicular fixation with tightrope had successful clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes for treatment of unstable Neer type IIa fractures of the distal clavicle. Probably no need for implant removal Satisfactory cosmetic view Süleyman Semih Dedeoğlu 01.06.2017 - 2033
