$\cdot$ Many authors have advocated surgical tx. for type II because of high risk of nonunion.$\cdot$ But, in a few reports, no correlations between the nonunion and functional disability.$\cdot$ Reconstruction of integrity of the CC lig. (encircling suture) is important for rapid fracture healing.

Purpose: To evaluate the result of operative treatment with plate and wire fixation for fractures of the distal clavicle. Materials and Methods: We assessed 9 cases of fractures of the distal clavicle that were treated by plate and wire fixation from March 2001 to July 2003 and followed up over 1year. We used the reconstruction plate as a buttress and performed cerclage wiring to fix comminuted fracture site. The functional result of shoulder was evaluated by the scoring system of Rowe. Results: The average periods of bony union was 9 weeks in all cases. According to Rowe scoring system, the functional result was exellent in 7 cases and good in 2 cases. There was no LOM of shoulder and traumatic arthritis in AC joint. But there was skin irritation in 1 case. Conclusion : The operative method by reconstruction plate and wire fixation for distal clavicular fracture was useful when there were comminuted fracture. This method seems to be simple and satisfactory in terms of improvement of range of motion of shoulder, restoration of function and rare complication.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present methods and results for the modified Phemister operation, with a suture anchor added for augmentation of the conoid ligament in cases of acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 14 cases of acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. This included 11 cases of Rockwood type 3, and 3 cases of type 5. The mean age of patients was 45.2 years. We operated on them using an anchor for augmentation of the conoid ligament in the modified Phemister operation. The average follow-up period was 14 months and post-operative clinical analysis was conducted using the Weitzman classification, VAS Score, Constant Score and KSS Score. Results: According to Weitzman scores, 13 cases were evaluated as excellent, and one case was good. They had mean joint ranges of forward elevation of $170.7^{\circ}$, lateral elevation of 166.4, external rotation of 68.2, and internal rotation to the level of T7. The mean VAS Score was 1.9, mean Constant Score 90.8, and the mean KSS Score 91. Radiologic analysis indicated that all cases had a good result. Conclusion: The modified Phemister operation with a suture anchor added for augmentation of the conoid ligament is very effective clinically in acute dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint.
