OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical efficacy of the endobutton in the treatment of acute @entity2720 by reconstructing coracoclavicular ligaments. METHODS: From October 2008 to January 2010,12 @entity1 with acute @entity2720 were immobilized with the endobutton. All the @entity1 had the dislocations of or above type III according to Rockwood classification. Among the @entity1 , 9 @entity1 were male and 3 @entity1 were female, with an average age of 55 years (ranged from 31 to 83 years). Eight @entity1 had injuries in the left, and 4 @entity1 in the right. Four @entity1 had accompanied injuries of @entity174 , 2 @entity1 had @entity1545 ,and 1 @entity1 had @entity3330 . Seven @entity1 were injured by traffic accident, 4 @entity1 were injured by falling down,and 1 @entity1 was @entity2587 . All the @entity1 had @entity158 and tenderness at the shoulder, positive piano sign, and shoulder confined activity. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 2 days to 10 days (averaged 6 days). The therapeutic effects were evaluated by Karlsson criteria based on range of motion of acromioclavicular joint, subjective feeling,and postoperative X-ray. RESULTS: All the @entity1 were followed up, and the duration ranged from 4 months to 19 months (averaged 11 months). The motion of the shoulder joint recovered to normal about 15 to 35 days after operation. There were no displacement, dislocation and redislocation occurred. All the @entity1 got A degree results according to Karlsson criteria. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament by using the endobutton to treat @entity697 of or above type III is a perfect method with advantage of rigid fixation, @entity130 , and early functional exercise.
