Abstract

Aim: To investigate the outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the lateral humeral condyle. Methods: Between January 1995 and December 2002, 123 displaced (Jakob-Fowles types 2 and 3) humeral lateral condyle fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with K wires through a lateral approach to the elbow. All of the cases were operated within 6 hours after hospitalization. 16 patients who were lost during postoperative period were excluded and the study group included 107 displaced fractures. In the last control, range of motion and carrying angle were measured with goniometre for each elbow, and anteroposterior, and lateral roentgenogram of affected side were obtained. The end results were classified on the basis of the clinical grading system. For data analysıs, SPSS version 10.0 packet statistic programme were used. Results: There were 65.4% boys, 34.6% girls and 51.4% left-side 48.6% right-side injuries. The mean age of the patients was 5.7±2.9(1-14) years, mean hospitalization period was 5.3±2.8(1-19) days and the mean follow-up period was 66.9±29.8(20-115) months. 15.9% wide surgical scar, 10.3% lateral spur formation, 10.3% delayed union, 8.4% aseptic necrosis, 4.7 % cubitus varus, 1.8% superficial infection, 0.9% pseudoartrosis+cubitus valgus were found; whereas, there was no deep infection and neurovascular complication seen. According to the clinical grading system used, the procedure yielded excellent results in 81.3%, good in 11.2%, fair in 4.7% and poor in 2.8% of the patients. Conclusion: It is shown that open reduction and two Kirschner wires fixation is an effective and safe surgical treatment modality for Jakob-Fowles types 2 and 3 fractures and can be used with high success.

Özet

Amaç: Çocuk humerus lateral kondil kırıklarının açık redüksiyon internal fiksasyon sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Ocak 1995-Aralık 2002 arasında deplase Jakob-Fowles tip2 ve tip 3 humerus lateral kondil kırıklı 123 çocuk lateral insizyonla girilerek açık redüksiyon+2 adet K teli ile tespit yapılarak cerrahi olarak tedavi edildi. Tüm olgulara başvuru sonrasında ilk 6 saat içinde müdahale edildi. Postoperatif dönemde izlem sırasında kaybedilen 16 olgu çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Düzenli kontrole gelen 107 olgu çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Son kontrolde dirsek hareket açıklığı ve taşıma açısı her iki dirsekte goniometre ile ölçülerek etkilenen dirseğin ön-arka ve yan radyografisi istendi. Sonuçlar klinik skorlama sistemine göre sınıflandı. Veri analizi için SPSS 10.0 paket istatistik program kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma grubundaki olguların % 65.4'ü erkek, % 34.6'sı kız olup % 51.4'ünde sol, % 48.6'sında sağ tutulum vardı. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 5.7±2.9(1-14), ortalama hospitalizasyon süresi 5.3±2.8(1-19) gün ve ortalama izlem süresi 66.9±29.8(20-115) ay idi. Komplikasyon olarak % 15.9 geniş insizyon skarı, % 10.3 lateral çıkıntı oluşumu, % 10.3 kaynama gecikmesi, % 8.4 aseptik nekroz, % 4.7 kubitus varus, % 1.9 yüzeyel infeksiyon, % 0.9 psödoartroz+kubitus valgus görüldü; derin enfeksiyon ve nörovasküler patoloji saptanmadı. Klinik skorlama sonuçları, %81.3 mükemmel, % 11.2 iyi, %4.7 orta ve %2.8 kötü olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Çalışmamız Jakob-Fowles tip 2 ve 3 kırıklarda açık redüksiyon ve 2 adet K teli tespitin yüksek başarı oranı ve minimal oranda komplikasyon ile etkin ve güvenli olduğunu göstermiştir
