Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between endo-button and hook plate fixations for the treatment of acute unstable acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. Materials: A retrospective evaluation of patients with acute AC joint dislocation who were treated between February 2009 and December 2019 was performed. The study was conducted with 39 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were divided into group I, operated with a hook plate, and group 2, operated with an endo-button. The demographic features and postoperative complications were analyzed. The disability of arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) scoring system, modified University of California at Los Angeles shoulder score (UCLA) scale, and the visual analog scale (VAS) scores were used to evaluate shoulder functions in these patients. Shoulder functions were evaluated one, three, six, and twelve months after surgery. Results: There were 21 patients in group 1 and 18 patients in group 2. Gender distribution was 28 male and 11 female, and the average age was 30.9 years (18-50). There were no significant differences in age, sex, side of injury, or follow-up time from injury to surgery between the two groups. The UCLA scores of group 1 and group 2 one month after surgery were 17.2 and 27.2, respectively. DASH scores of group 1 and group 2 one month after surgery were 82 and 52, respectively. The VAS scores of group 1 and group 2 one month after surgery were 70 and 14, respectively. For all scores at first month post-surgery, there were statistically significant differences between groups, but scores became similar 12 months after surgery. Conclusion: Postoperative shoulder scores of patients with endo-button showed superiority in the early stages. However, after a year of follow-up, the results of the surgery performed with an endo-button or a hook plate were similar.
