Abstract:

Objective   The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a novel double-endobutton device assisted arthroscopy in treating Neer type IIB distal clavicle fractures.   Methods   We retrospectively analysized 40 patients with Neer type IIB distal clavicle fractures .They were randomly divided into 2 groups: one was the novel double-endobutton group (A, 20 patients), the other hook plate group (B, 20 patients). The measurement of CMS, VAS scores and incision length, blood loss were employed to assess the outcome of two groups.    Result    (1) The specific values were as follows: incision length:(2.99±0.71) cm, (6.10±0.98) cm (P<0.05); the blood loss: (53.50±4.82) ml, (95.50±6.69) ml (P<0.05);  (2) For CMS part, the A group was significantly better than group B 1 month after surgery (P<0.05); compared with group B, the post-op 1 month and 1 year VAS Scores were significantly better (P<0.05), the preoperative and 6 months were with no statistical difference.   Conclusion   The novel double-endobutton device assisted arthroscopy in treating Neer type IIB distal clavicle fractures is a minimally invasive strategy with better clinical outcomes, which has lots of advantages including a short incision, less bleeding, lower cost, early functional exercise and without a second operation.
