There has been considerable controversy as to the treatment method of dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint, so various operative treatment modalities have been suggested. We analyzed the results of 40 patients with acromio­clavicular dislocation, in whom twenty patients were treated by modified Phemister method and 20 patients by modified Weaver-Dunn method above follow-up two years. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical results of two operative methods. According to Weitzman criteriae for clinical results, 12 cases were excellent, six cases good and two cases fair in modified Phemister method. But in modified Weaver-Dunn method, ten cases were excellent, eight cases good, one case fair and one case poor. In radiological result, coracoclavicular distance was measured at preoperative, postoperative and last follow-up period. The modified Phemister method was 6.lmm, 1.5mm and 2.4mm respectively, and the modified Weaver-Dunn method 7.8mm, 2.lmm and 2.5mm respectively. The complications were two cases of heterotopic ossification, one case of inadequate fixation and one case of K-wire breakage in modified Phemister method, and two cases of early fixation loss and one case of heterotopic ossification in modified Weaver-Dunn method. We obtained that the clinical, functional and radiological results showed no significant difference in two methods. The modified Phemister method was effective treatment for old patients in acute injuries due to short operation time and simple technique. The modified Weaver-Dunn method, as a reconstructive operation that reduces various complications for young and active male patients, was also good for getting the stability of coraco­clavicular ligament through clavicular bony union.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the method of using coraco-clavicular (C-C) sling with modified Phemister operation by postoperative clinical results, radiologic analysis and complications. Materials and Methods: 33 patients of acromioclavicular joint dislocation were included in this study. Thirteen patients were treated with simple C-C sling method and twenty patients were treated with modified Phemister operation. The assesment of clinical and radiological evaluation were performed and the final results were examined by using the Weitzman's classification. Results: In the final result of C-C sling method group, forward elevation $161^{\circ}$, external rotation $70^{\circ}$, internal rotation T8 level, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 83.3 points were checked. In modified Phemister operation group, forward elevation $155^{\circ}$, external rotation $67^{\circ}$, internal rotation T6 level, VAS 83.8 points were checked. In coracoclavicular distance of C-C sling method group, pre-operation 12.82 mm and last follow up 8.37 mm were checked. In modified Phemister operation group, pre-operation 12.8 mm and last follow up 7.7 mm were checked. In functional evaluation by the Weitzman criteria, C-C sling group had excellent 8, good 1, fair 1 and modified Phemister group had excellent 13, good 4, fair 3. Conclusion: C-C sling method would be the better than the Modified Phemister operation because of short operation time and smaller skin incision.

Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological results between the modified Weaver-Dunn method and modified Phemister method in the acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 19 patients who were treated for the acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation from 2001 to 2002. 10 patients were operated with the modified Weaver-Dunn method (group A) and the others with modified Phemister method (group B). The classification of preoperative injury was analyzed by using the Rockwood system, the clinical assessment of preoperative and postoperative by the modified UCLA rating scale and the radiological assessment by simple x-ray. Results: With the modified UCLA rating scale, group A showed 5 cases(50%) of excellent and 5 cases(50%) of good, group B showed 4 cases(44.4%) of excellent and 5 cases(55.6%) of good. In the radiologic findings of the coracoclavicular distances, group A was 16.2 mm at preoperative, 8.8 mm at postoperative, 9.7 mm at last follow-up and group B was 12.9 mm, 6.7 mm and 7.9 mm respectively. Postoperatively there were no complications such as surgical wound infection and failure of Kirschner wires. Conclusion: Both the modified Weaver-Dunn and modified Phemister methods have shown satisfied clinical and radiologic results, and there was no difference in these result between two groups (p>0.05).

목적: 본 연구는 네 가닥의 Ethibond로 오구 쇄골간 sling으로 보강된 변형 Phemister 술식을 이용한 견봉 쇄골 관절 탈구의 치료의 임상적 결과 및 방사선 소견을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 9월부터 2007년 5월까지 네 가닥 Ethibond sling으로 보강된 변형된 Phemister 술식으로 30예의 견봉 쇄골 관절 탈구를 치료하였다. 평균 추시 기간은 28.2(24~33)개월 이었다. 술 후 기능 평가는 Weitzman 분류로 하였고 오구 쇄골 간격의 정복 정도를 방사선 영상에서 측정하였다. 결과: Weitzman 분류를 이용한 기능 평가에서는 우수 24예, 양호 4예, 보통 2예였고 오구 쇄골 간격은 수상 시 16.9 mm간격에서 수술 직후 7.3 mm로 정복되었고 최종 추시 시 건측과 비교하여 오구 쇄골 인대의 간격 비율은 평균 1.24 (0.68~1.71) 이었다. 합병증으로 5예에서 K-강선 후퇴와 4예에서 관절 운동 제한이 있었다. 결론: 견봉 쇄골 관절의 탈구에서 네 가닥의 Ethibond로 오구 쇄골간 sling으로 보강된 변형 Phemister 술식은 임상적으로 유용한 치료 방법으로 사료된다.

The management of acute acromioclavicular dislocations has usually followed the accepted principles of obtaining an anatomical reduction of the joint and maintaining it until soft tissue healing has occurred. So, the preferred treatment for acute acromioclavicular dislocation is controversial. We analysed operatively treated twenty-eight cases for acute acromioclavicular dislocation between February 1994 and January 1997 and reviewed postoperatively to evaluate the results of three different methods. We collected retrospectively the data via clinical history, associated injury, type of injury, radiographic review, Taft score, and final results. Follow up time averaged 14 months. (range, 12 to 21 ) In according to Rockwood's classification, ]7 cases were type Ⅲ, 1 case was type IV, and 10 cases were type V. Ten cases were treated with the modified Phemister method, ten cases with the modified Bosworth method and eight cases with the modified Weaver-Dunn method. ]n patients treated by modified Phemister method, the Taft score was 9.4 points and 8 cases achieved good or excellent results. In patients treated by modified Bosworth method, the Taft score was 9.8 points and 8 cases achieved good or excellent results. In patients treated by modified Weaver-Dunn method, the Taft score was 10.3 points and 7 cases achieved good or excellent results. The overall Taft score was 9.9 points and 23 cases achieved good or excellent results. There were four complications, such as calcification or metallic loosening or breakage of K-wire, but did not influence late results. In conclusions, there was no significant difference of results regarding the different three methods. However, our results indicated that the coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction by transfer of coracoacromial ligament produced better results.
