Hook plate

Manufactured by DePuy

The Hook Plate is a surgical implant designed for use in the treatment of certain fractures. It features a series of hooks that are used to secure the device to the bone. The core function of the Hook Plate is to provide stabilization and support to the affected area during the healing process.

Each of the 4 participating study centers represented 1 of the surgical ACJ stabilization techniques used most frequently according to a survey of trauma and orthopaedic departments in Germany.^{3 (link)} This approach ensured the surgical generalizability of the comparison between surgical and nonsurgical treatments and the expertise of the participating centers in the respective surgical technique. All surgeries were performed by a single senior shoulder-trained specialist in each center (M.T., L.L., M.S.).
In center 1, a mini-open double TightRope (Arthrex) stabilization was performed in 18 patients and 16 were treated nonsurgically. Center 2 used an arthroscopic double TightRope technique in 12 patients and had 9 patients undergo conservative treatment. Center 3 used the hook plate (DePuy Synthes) for surgical treatment in 11 patients and had 6 patients with nonsurgical treatment, whereas in center 4 an arthroscopic single TightRope device was applied in 10 patients and nonsurgical treatment was performed in 3 patients.

Surgical Fixation of Clavicle Fractures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

After a successful general anesthesia, patients were placed in the standard beach chair position. A 5-cm incision in line with the clavicle was made from the lateral clavicle to the lateral acromioclavicular margin, and the deltoid-trapezoidal fascia was incised to expose the fracture. A spinal needle was used to prevent violation of the acromioclavicular joint capsule. After cleaning the inserting soft tissue at the broken end of the fracture, the fracture was then reduced temporarily and held with two 2-mm k-wires. In the HP group, after the reduction of the fracture, the hook plate (DePuy Synthes) was utilized to fix the fracture site with locking screws. In the LP group, after the reduction of the fracture, the locking plate (DePuy Synthes) was utilized to fix the fracture site with locking screws. In the LPSB group, apart from exposing the fracture site, the coracoid process also needed to be exposed so that a suture button (TightRope; Arthrex, Naples, FL, United States) could be inserted in the base of the coracoid process. In this group, a locking plate (DePuy Synthes) with a suture button was used to fix the fracture site. The application of C-arm machine fluoroscopy confirmed that the positions of internal fixation were accurate and satisfactory.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
