Dr. Prithiviraj.R, Dr. Koteeswar Rao R G, Prof. Dr. Krishnagopal.R

Background: Injuries to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are a common diagnosis following acute shoulder trauma, especially prevalent in athletes. The present study was conducted to analyze the functional outcome of Post-surgical acromioclavicular joint disruption using CONSTANT MURLEY Scoring (CMS) system and post operative pain using Visual Analog Scoring (VAS) system. Methods: 13 patients suffering from acromioclavicular joint disruption of both genderswas on regular follow up and sufficient data was collected. CONSTANT score and PAIN score were used for assessment of Functional outcome at 1month, 3 months and 6 months. Results: Among the study participants who had received tight rope technique, 33.3% were of age 31 to 40 years and more than 50 years, respectively. Among those who had received suture anchor, 50% were of age 21 to 30 years followed by 33.3% of age 41 to 50 years. Among the participant who had received, tension band wiring is of age 41 to 50 years. All the groups were similar with regard to distribution of age with P value of more than 0.05. The mean CMS among the participants at 1 st month was 78.08 ± 5.37. In the3 rd month, the mean was 84.85 ± 3.23 and in the 6 th month, the mean was 89.236 ± The mean constant score increased significantly during the follow up periodamong the participants. The mean CMS increased in magnitude within each technique during the follow up period.The mean VAS among the participants at 1st month was 3.92 ± 0.64. In the 3rd month, the mean was 2.54 ± 0.51 and in the 6th month, the mean was 1.15 ± 0.37. The mean VAS decreased significantly during the follow up period among the participants. Conclusion: The common surgical techniques performed for acromioclavicular joint injuries in the present study were tight rope and suture anchors. Both the procedures had shown a good functional outcome with regard to the Constant Murley Score.
