Objective To compare the effectiveness of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction between by using autologous plantaris tendon graft combined with hook plate fixation and allogeneic tendon graft combined with hook plate fixation for treating acromiocavicular joint dislocation. Methods Thirty-three patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation who accorded with the inclusion criteria between January 2013 and June 2014 were assigned into 2 groups. The patients were treated with autologous plantaris tendon graft combined with hook plate fixation in group A (n=17), and with allogeneic tendon graft combined with hook plate fixation in group B (n=16). Thirteen-one patients was followed up more than 12 months (15 in group A and 16 in group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, sides, time between injury and surgery, and type of dislocation (P>0.05). The assessments included operation time, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses, shoulder range of motion, gap of acromioclavicular, Constant-Murley scores, and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. Results The operation time of group A was significantly longer than that of group B, and the hospitalization expense was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in hospitalization time (t=1.046, P=0.316). The incisions healed by first intention, and hook plate was removed after 3 months. The mean follow-up time was 21.3 months (range, 19-34 months) in group A and was 23.7 months (range, 18-37 months) in group B. X-ray examination showed no osteolysis. There was no significant difference in gap of acromiocavicular between 2 groups at preoperation, 1 week after operation, and last follow-up (P>0.05). No redislocation of acromioclavicular joint and rejection reaction occurred during follow-up. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in shoulder range of motion, Constant-Murley score, and VAS score between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction by autologous plantaris tendon or allogeneic tendon graft combined with hook plate fixation for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation can achieve good effectiveness. The appropriate treatment should be chosen according to the patient's economic situation.
