Using a modified J-shaped Y-knot all-suture anchor to pass a suture under the coracoid process in coracoclavicular stabilization
INTRODUCTION: The distal clavicle fracture is a common shoulder injury. There are several treatment methods which can achieve good outcomes, of which coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization is one of the most popular surgical options. In CC stabilization, the step of passing a suture under the coracoid...

description | INTRODUCTION: The distal clavicle fracture is a common shoulder injury. There are several treatment methods which can achieve good outcomes, of which coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization is one of the most popular surgical options. In CC stabilization, the step of passing a suture under the coracoid base is the most difficult step because the standard surgical tool is not designed for passing a suture under the coracoid process. To solve this problem, there are commercial tools for use in this step but all of them are expensive, and thus of limited availability in developing or low-resource settings. We propose a modified J-shaped Y-knot all-suture anchor for use in passing a suture under the coracoid process. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old Thai male who had a left distal clavicle fracture was scheduled for CC stabilization. We modified a sterile Y-knot all-suture anchor to loop underneath the coracoid base which was easy to use and can design individually. DISCUSSION: In CC stabilization, there are many specialized commercial tools specially designed to easily pass the suture under the coracoid base but they are very expensive. The surgeon can use this technique to modify J-shaped Y-knot all-suture anchor for use in CC stabilization, recycling a Y-knot all-suture anchor normally discarded after use. CONCLUSION: A modified J-shaped Y-knot all-suture anchor can use in passing a suture under the coracoid process. |
