AbstractIntroduction: High grade acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are commonly treated surgically. Arthroscopic assisted suture button fixation is gaining popularity with the advantage of smaller incision and less implant related complication when comparing traditional open fixation with rigid implants.
Methods: From 2013 to 2022, there were 16 cases of ACJ dislocation treated with arthroscopic assisted suture button fixation in our institution. Background demographic, functional and radiological assessments were assessed retrospectively.
Results: Mean follow up period was 29.4 months. There were significant improvements in the coracoclavicular distance (CCD) immediately after the surgery (19.1±3.9 mm vs 8.4±2.5 mm, p<0.0001) and in the final follow up (19.1±3.9 mm vs 11.2±2.5 mm, p<0.0001). All patients enjoyed good to excellent outcome functionally. Final follow up X-ray showed button subsidence in 8 cases and ACJ arthritis in 2 cases without clinical symptom. No clinical complication was observed.
Discussion and Conclusion: Arthroscopic assisted suture button fixation is safe and effective in managing ACJ dislocation functionally and radiologically.
