Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparative study on the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation: coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using lateral half of conjoined tendon or tractusiliotibialis with hook plate fixation].
To explore the clinical outcomes of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation treated with coracoclavicular ligament (CCL) reconstruction using lateral half of conjoined tendon and tractusiliotibialis with hook plate fixation. Comparative study on their advantages and disadvantages in order to provide the materials for the clinic. ⋯ The efficacy of Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation for reconstructing coracoclavicular ligament using tractusiliotibialis is better than conjoined tendon. The AC and CC distances increase after a removal of hook plates while it is more obvious for conjoined tendon tractusiliotibialis reconstruction.
