Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate safety and effectiveness of titanium elastic nailing (TEN) in paediatric tibia shaft fractures caused by high-energy pedestrian versus motor vehicle accidents. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective review for children with unstable tibial shaft fractures treated with TEN caused by pedestrian versus motor vehicle accidents between June 2010 and December 2012. Eleven patients were included in study. Six patients (54.5%) were boys and five patients (45.5%) were girls. The mean age of the patients was 7.4 years . Five patients (45.5%) had closed and six patients (54.5%) had open fractures according to Gustilo-Anderson classification. At the follow-ups, patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically. Also, we investigated tibial torsion deformity by using MRI in our patients at last follow-up.Results: In all patients were obtained complete bone healing radiologically and clinically. In our patients, the average angulation was 1.5 degrees (0-3.9) on the coronal plane and the average angulation was 2.6 degrees (0-8.4) on the sagittal plane at the last follow-up. In four patients (36.4%) were found more than 10 mm the tibial length discrepancy. Also, we encountered more than 10 degrees the external tibial torsion deformity in three patients.Conclusion: TEN is a safe and effective treatment options in the high-energy pediatric open or closed tibia shaft fractures caused by pedestrian versus motor vehicle accidents. It should be kept in mind that these fractures also might develop in the tibial torsional deformity.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çocuklarda yüksek enerjili araç dışı trafik kazası nedeniyle gelişen tibia şaft kırıklarının titanyum elastik çiviyle (TEN) tedavisinin güvenilirliğini ve etkinliğini araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Haziran 2010-Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında araç dışı trafik kazası nedeniyle gelişen ve TEN ile tedavi edilen instabil tibia şaft kırıklı çocuk hastaları geriye dönük olarak taradık. On bir hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu hastaların altısı (%54.5) erkek, beşi (%45.5) kız idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 7.4 (dağılım 3-12 yıl) bulundu. Gustilo-Anderson sınıflamasına göre altı hastada (%54.5) açık kırık, beş hastada (%45.5) kapalı kırık mevcuttu. Hastalar takiplerde klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların son takiplerinde rezidüel rotasyonel deformiteyi de değerlendirmek için manyetik rezonans incelemesi (MRI) yapıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların tümünde radyolojik ve klinik olarak kaynama elde edildi. Son takipte, kırıkların ortalama koronal plan açılanması 1.5 derece (0-3.9 derece), ortalama sagittal plan açılanması 2.6 derece (0-8.4 derece) bulundu. Dört hastada (%36.4) 10 mm'den fazla bacak uzunluk eşitsizliği mevcuttu. Ayrıca, üç hastada (%27.3) 10 dereceden fazla eksternal tibial torsion deformitesi tespit ettik. Sonuç: Çocuk hastalarda araç dışı trafik kazası sonucu gelişen yüksek enerjili açık veya kapalı tibia şaft kırıklarının TEN ile tedavisi etkili ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir. Bununla birlikte, bu yöntemle tedavide tibial torsiyonel deformite gelişebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
