Sagittal orientation of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction affects the stability of surgical repair
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Mar 25, 2020
Celik H, et al. - This study was carried out to evaluate whether sagittal orientation of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction influences the stability of surgical repair. Researchers analyzed CT reconstruction of 85 individuals. The coracoclavicular sagittal reconstruction angle was derived by using anatomic landmarks. This analysis also assessed lateral concave angle, which indicated the shape of the distal clavicle, and the offsets between the clavicle and coracoid. It was noted that the anatomic orientation of the native coracoclavicular ligaments is highly changeable in the sagittal plane. The results indicated that low sagittal angles can decrease anterior stability, whereas high sagittal angles can reduce posterior stability of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.
