Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is evaluating the long-term results and complications of hook plate (HP) used in acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two cases who were operated for ACJ separation with HP technique between 2010 and 2015 were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical and radiological outcomes and long term complications evaluated. Results: The mean disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire score was 5±1, the mean Constant-Murley score was 92±6. Coracoclavicular distance measurement on the first day after surgery showed an overcorrection compared to the intact extremity. Some reduction loss was detected in the fifth year measurements. Conclusion: Decrease in reduction loss at the end of the fifth year did not have a negative effect on the clinical outcomes of the shoulder.
