Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of distal clavicle fracture treatment with clavicle hook plate and its complications prevention and treatment. Methods: 90 cases of clavicle fracture patients admitted to our hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected and divided into an experimental group and control group by randomized numerical table, with 45 patients in each group, patients in the experimental group were treated with clavicle hook plate and patients in control group were treated with Kirschner's pin tension band, and the amount of intra-operative volume, operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, postoperative drainage flow, occurrence of loosening of internal fixation, shoulder pain, and postoperative drainage flow, were recorded in the patients of the two groups after different treatments. We observed and recorded the intraoperative volume, operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, postoperative drainage flow, the occurrence of internal fixation loosening, shoulder pain, and infection complications, as well as the rate of excellent shoulder function of the two groups of patients. Results: Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the operation time, intraoperative volume, and postoperative drainage flow in the experimental group, P > 0.05, no statistical significance. The number of patients with internal fixation loosening, shoulder pain, and infection in the test group was significantly lower than that in the control group, P < 0.05, statistically significant. The excellent rate of Karlsson shoulder joint function evaluation of the patients in the test group was 91.11%, and the excellent rate of Karlsson shoulder joint function evaluation of the control group was 88.89%, which was significantly higher in the test group than in the control group, P < 0.05, with statistical significance. Conclusion: The treatment of distal clavicle fracture with internal fixation of clavicular hook plate can reduce the pain of patients by internal fixation loosening, shoulder pain, and infection complications, and it is worth popularizing in the clinic.
