Abstract
Comparative treatment results are presented for 154 patients with closed injuries of the acromioclavicular joint. Main group included 34 patients who were operated on using the proposed fixation technique with designed K-wire and screw. The technique was elaborated with regard for the data of biomechanical studies. In control group (120 patients) fixation was performed with Lee hook ( n =76), K-wires ( n =25) and hook plate ( n =19). Proposed method was considered to be an effective (95.5 points by Constant-Murley score) and low-cost treatment technique characterized by short terms of hospitalization, (13.0±0.71 days) and temporary disability (40.4±0.71) days as well as by low rate of postoperative complications (3 (8.8%) cases).
