This study compared Hook Plate and TightRope surgical methods for acromioclavicular dislocation. TightRope fixation showed better functional outcomes and fewer complications, avoiding a second surgery.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Traumatology

Background:

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common shoulder injury.
Surgical treatment for AC joint dislocation remains controversial, with various techniques available.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the surgical outcomes of Hook Plate versus TightRope stabilization for acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
To evaluate functional recovery and complication rates between the two surgical methods.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving 30 patients with acute Rockwood type III-VI acromioclavicular dislocations.
Patients were randomized into two groups: Hook Plate (n=15) and TightRope (n=15).
Functional outcomes were assessed using the Constant Score and radiography; pain severity and range of motion were also evaluated.

Main Results:

The TightRope group demonstrated superior functional outcomes (Constant Score 81.4 vs. 78.5) and a higher rate of return to normal activities (70% vs. 40%).
The TightRope group also showed better active forward flexion (50% >150° vs. 30%).
The Hook Plate group required significantly more reoperations (14/15) for device removal, whereas the TightRope group had fewer complications and failures.

Conclusions:

Both Hook Plate and TightRope are effective for acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
TightRope fixation offers advantages including a lower complication rate and avoidance of secondary surgery.
The TightRope technique is recommended for its superior functional recovery and patient-reported outcomes.
