Hook plate fixation

This procedure uses a distal clavicle hook plate to provide temporary stability, which is removed after soft tissue recovery. The acromioclavicular joint is usually reduced under direct vision, the hooked plate is placed on the distal clavicle with the hook spanning under the acromion, and screws are used for fixation. The position and tension are confirmed with fluoroscopy, and soft tissue repair is combined if necessary. Early postoperative attention is paid to pain, wound, and upper limb blood supply and sensation. The shoulder is gradually mobilized under protection. After soft tissue stabilization, a second-stage removal is scheduled based on evaluation to reduce long-term foreign body-related discomfort. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
