ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of the clavicular hook plate combined with trapezius muscle fascia for reconstruction of acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments to treat acute complete acromioclavicular dislocations. MethodsBetween January 2008 and April 2012, 66 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with the clavicular hook plate combined with trapezius muscle fascia for reconstruction of acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments in 32 cases (experimental group) and with the clavicular hook plate in 34 cases (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, injured side, the cause of injury, and the time from injury to operation between 2 groups (P>0.05). Visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant shoulder scores, and coracoid clavi-cledistance (CC.Dist) were measured at preoperation and at 2 years after operation. Signal/noise quotiem (SNQ) was measured by MRI at 2 years after operation. The operation complications were observed. ResultsThe patients of 2 groups obtained primary healing of incision. The morbidity of complication in experimental group (12.5%, 4/32) was significantly lower than that in control group (91.2%, 31/34) (χ2=40.96, P=0.00). All the cases were followed up 2.8 years on average (range, 2 to 4 years). VAS scores and CC.Dist significantly decreased at 2 years after operation when compared with preoperative values in the 2 groups (P<0.05). VAS scores and CC.Dist of the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). According to Constant shoulder scores at 2 years after operation, the results were excellent in 19 cases, good in 11 cases, and general in 2 cases with an excellent and good rate of 93.75% in the experimental group; the results were excellent in 7 cases, good in 8 cases, general in 16 cases, and poor in 3 cases with an excellent and good rate of 44.11% in the control group; and significant difference was shown between 2 groups (t=2.30, P=0.03). SNQ was significantly lower in experimental group than in control group at 2 years after operation (t=55.03, P=0.00), indicating that ligament healing was better in experimental group than control group. ConclusionCompared with simple clavicular hook plate fixation, the clavicular hook plate combined with trapezius muscle fascia for reconstruction of acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments is successful in treating acute complete acromioclavicular dislocations, with the advantages of higher ligament healing, less complication, and early improvement of shoulder functions.

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of bilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection after esophagectomy for patients with intrathoracic esophageal carcinoma. Methods A total of 197 patients with esophageal carcinoma but no obvious supraclavicular lymph node metastasis who underwent esophagectomy in Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University from March 1997 to September 2004 were included in this study. All the patients were divided into 2 groups, the control group and the study group. In the control group (non-supraclavicular lymphadenectomy group), there were 96 patients including 62 males and 34 females with their age of 40-69 (55.2±3.1) years, who received 2-field lymphadenectomy (intrathoracic lymphatic drainage area and left paracardial lymph nodes) without supraclavicular lymph node dissection. In the study group (supraclavicular lymphadenectomy group), there were 101 patients including 68 males and 33 females with their age of 41-68 (53.8±4.5) years, who received 3-field lymphadenectomy including intrathoracic lymphatic drainage area, left paracardial lymph nodes and bilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection. Postoperative survival rate, lymph node metastasis rate, anastomotic site recurrence rate, and long-term supraclavicular lymph node metastasis rate were compared between the 2 groups. Results The overall 5-year survival rate of all the patients was 39.59% (78/197). There was no statistical difference in 5-year survival rate between the 2 groups [37.50% (36/96) vs. 41.58%(42/101), P>0.05]. However, the 5-year survival rate of the patients with esophageal carcinoma in the upper third of the esophagus in the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group [38.10%(8/21) vs. 29.17% (7/24), P<0.05]. The intrathoracic lymph node metastasis rate (14.58% vs. 12.87%), abdominal lymph node metastasis rate (6.25% vs. 7.92%)and anastomotic site recurrence rate (5.20% vs. 5.94%)of the control group and study group were not statistically different (P>0.05). However, long-term supraclavicular lymph node metastasis rate of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group (2.97% vs. 8.33%, P<0.05) Conclusion Bilateral supraclavicular node dissection can significantly increase postoperative survival rate and decrease long-term supraclavicular lymph node metastasis rate of patients with esophageal carcinoma in the upper third of the esophagus.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of bridging fixation with long locking plate for displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. Methods Between October 2010 and December 2011, 18 patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fracture were treated with reduction and bridging fixation with 9 or 10 holes locking plate. There were 17 males and 1 female with an average age of 47 years (range, 23-82 years). Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by falling in 10 cases, by crushing in 1 case, and by crashing object in 1 case. All fractures were closed and displaced or shortened (range, 2.1-3.4 cm; mean, 2.62 cm) with angulation deformity. According to Robinson classification criteria, 5 cases were rated as type 2B1 and 13 as type 2B2. The duration from injury to surgery was 5 hours to 19 days (mean, 5 days). The fracture healing time and complication were recorded; the effectiveness evaluation was performed with Constant-Murley score and satisfaction to appearance. Results No neurologic or vascular complication occurred with primary healing of incision. All patients were followed up 12-22 months (mean, 14.7 months). The fracture healing time was 9-14 weeks (mean, 11.4 weeks). During follow-up, no loosening or breakage of internal fixator was observed. The Constant-Murley score was 82-98 (mean, 92.4) at last follow-up; the satisfaction rate of appearance was 88.9% (16/18). Conclusion Bridging fixation with long locking plate is an effective method for treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. Preserved blood supply and stable angle are important to fracture healing.
ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of triple Endobuttons and clavicular hook plate fixation in the treatment of fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Rockwood type III-V). MethodsBetween February 2008 and October 2010, 40 patients with fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Rockwood type III-V) were treated with triple Endobuttons in 18 cases (trial group) and with clavicular hook plate in 22 cases (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, joint dislocation classification, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Constant-Murley score between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). ResultsAfter operation, wound healed by first intention with no early complication of infection or neurovascular injury. The patients were followed up 12-20 months (mean, 15.8 months) in trial group and 13-24 months (mean, 17.2 months) in control group. Significant differences were found in the VAS score and Constant-Murley score at the last follow-up between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). X-ray films showed no loosening of internal fixators or hook displacement occurred. No re-dislocation was observed. ConclusionTriple Endobuttons has less shoulder pain and better shoulder motion than clavicular hook plate, so it is an effective method of treating Rockwood type III-V fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
