WHY OPEN?

ACJ STABILISERS

•  CC Ligaments – Vertical Stability

•  DeltoTrap Fascia – Vertical Stability

•  AC Ligaments – Horizontal Stability

Urist, JBJSA, 1946 Debski, JBJSA, 2001

ACJ LIGAMENTS

Two thirds of the superior stability for lesser displacements!

90% the posterior stability

Fukuda et al. JBJSA. 1986

DYNAMIC STABILITY

Delto-trapezial fascia

Fukuda et al. JBJSA. 1986: Copeland & Kessel. Injury. 1980; DePalma. 1973; Urist. JBJS 1963.

“Many unsatisfactory results could be due to lack of repair of the trapezius and deltoid.”

Lizaur et al. JBJS. 1994

WHY LARS?(LIGAMENT AUGMENTATION REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM)

SURGICAL PROCEDURES

>100 PUBLISHED!!20% FAILURE RATE

HARRIS ET AL. AJSM 2000

“None of the reconstruction techniques analyzed ... were able to restore the normal mechanical function of the intact coracoclavicular ligament complex”

CORACOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENTS

Strength – 500N (+/- 134)!

Stiffness – 103N/mm (+/- 30)!

Uniaxial Tension 25mm/min

Harris et. al. Am J Sports Med. 2000

FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY

CC LIG POSITIONS

LARS LIGAMENT (CORIN)

Braided Polyethylenetraphthalate!

1500N tensile strength (30 LAC)!

No reduction in mechanical resilience after over 10 million wear cycles loaded in torsion, traction and flexion [Fialka et al. 2005; !

Vascularisation & Fibrous ingrowth - Collagen Type 1 [Trieb et al. Eur Surg Res. 2004; Yu et al. 2005; Pelletier & Durand]

DISCLAIMER:

I have not:!

Received any funding or royalties from LARS /Corin!

Been involved in the development of the LARS

CLOSURE

Repair the Superior AC Ligaments!

Repair the Delto-Trapezial Fascia

X-RAYS - DAY 1, 3 WEEKS, 3 MONTHS, 1YR, 2YRS

Shoulderdoc.co.uk Shoulderdoc.co.uk

Phase 1: (Level 1-2 Exercises)

Core stability & Scapula control!

Proprioceptive exercises (minimal weightbearing below 90 degrees)!

Active ROM as comfortable!

Do not force or stretch

No resistance exercises

Phase 2: (Level 2-3 Exercises)

Progress to light resistance exercises as tolerated!

Sports-specific rehabilitation - Plyometrics and pertubation training!

Phase 3: (Level 3+ Exercises)

Regain scapula & glenohumeral stability working for shoulder joint control rather than range!

Gradually Strengthen

POST-OP

3 WEEKS POST-OP

RESULTS

Three year period !

55 patients !

12 Acute; 43 Chronic!

Mean age of 29 yrs

Nicoletti, Quin & Funk. Presented at SECEC 2008

FU = Minimum 2yrs!

X-Rays at 3 & 24 months!

29 Type III; 5 Type IV; 19 Type V!

12 Revisions

RESULTS

SATISFACTION!

85% Pts Satisfied !

!

PAIN:!

PREOP-OP = 10.43(5-15)!

POST-OP = 1.27(0-6)

RESULTS

REDUCTION

Mean post-op displacement =15%

BA

Displacement = A/B x 100

1 FAILURE:

3 WEEKS POST OP:

Shoulderdoc.co.uk

2012 UPDATE

114 Cases over 6 years!

Constant score = 86 (67-100)!

92% returned to previous level sport !

Mean displacement at 28 months = 17%!

Early failures = 2 cases post-trauma!

Late failures = 2 cases post-trauma!

Revisions = 4 cases

SUMMARY

Open - Repair all structures!

LARS - Strongest, Anatomical, Biological!

My Technique - Modified to Patient!
