Description
Kenta Inagaki and co-authors report, in a 2027 study, how tunnel placement in the collarbone affects the results of a keyhole ligament repair. The operation fixes a dislocated shoulder joint or a broken collarbone end. A common failure is the joint slipping out of place again afterward.
Earlier work blamed tunnel position but relied on flat X-rays, which hide depth. The team used CT scans from 22 patients treated at one center. They measured tunnels in both the collarbone and the shoulder blade bone in three dimensions. Then they checked how those positions lined up with later loss of correction. Precise tunnel maps could help surgeons place their drill holes where the repair is most likely to hold.
