Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint is mainly due to trauma caused by anterior labral capsular ligaments complex functional deficiency. At present, the main clinical use is conservative treatment, but the long-term effect is poor, and cannot achieve the desired results. 

OBJECTIVE: To study the biomechanical characteristics of dual fixed anchors and their effects in recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect. 
METHODS: According to the treatment, 88 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect were divided into conservative treatment group (n=44) and dual fixed anchor group (n=44). Japan AG-ISOKN material tensile tester was used to measure biomechanical properties of dual fixed anchors. Conservative treatment group received closed manipulative reduction. Dual fixed anchor group received dual fixed anchor fixation. The repair effects were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Biomechanical parameters: in dual fixed anchor bending test, limit strength was (3 534±321) N; limit displacement was (21.12±2.50) mm; the yield load was (2 342±154) N; yield shift was (13.10±53) mm. Maximum axial pullout force was (809±25.2) N. The maximum spin torque was (1.2±0.3) N•m. (2) Clinical test results: Total effective rate was 96% in the dual fixed anchor group and 86% in the conservative treatment group (P < 0.05). Ranges of motion of anteflexion and lift and shoulder joint stability score were significantly higher in the dual fixed anchor group than in the conservative treatment group during final follow-up (P < 0.05). Range of external rotation motion was significantly smaller in the dual fixed anchor group than in the conservative treatment group (P < 0.05). The complication rate was lower in the dual fixed anchor group (11%) than in the conservative treatment group (25%) (P < 0.05). (3) Results verified that dual fixed anchors have good biomechanical characteristics, may have ideal repair effect in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect, and can improve functions and activities of the shoulder joint. The low complication rate is more conducive to shoulder reconstruction.
