Arthroscopic Suture-Button Versus Hook-Plate Fixation for Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries-A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To systematically review the comparative studies in the literature to compare joint stability, clinical outcomes, and complications of acromioclavicular joint fixation using a hook plate versus arthroscopic suture-button (SB) fixation.

Methods

A literature search was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines to identify clinical studies comparing the hook plate and arthroscopic SB techniques for acromioclavicular joint injuries. Qualitative statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and a P value of ≤.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results

Six clinical studies including 285 patients were included in the systematic review. In 3 of the studies, there was a significant difference in favor of SB for Constant score. Patients
