Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate safety and efficiency of the semi-sterile technique used in recent years in treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF).METHODS: Total of 712 patients who were treated for SHF via closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with semi-sterile technique were enrolled in present study. Patients were evaluated for postoperative infection and other complications. Clinical and radiological assessments were also made.RESULTS: It was found that there were 52 (7.3%) pin tract infections, which responded to oral antibiotic administration and pin care without need for early pin removal (before 3 weeks). There were no deep infections. Loss of reduction was observed in 82 patients (11.5%). There were 59 iatrogenic nerve injuries (8.3%), of which 52 (7.3%) were ulnar palsy. Clinically apparent cubitus varus was observed in 29 (4.1%) patients.CONCLUSION: Though semi-sterile technique is an effective treatment in closed percutaneous pinning of SHF, increased pin tract infection risk is a matter of concern.

Özet

AMAÇ: Kısmi steril teknik, çocuk suprakondiler humerus kırıklarının tedavisinde son yıllarda kullanılır hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bu tekniğin suprakondiler humerus kırıklarının tedavisindeki güvenilirlik ve etkinliğinin araştırılmasıdır.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmaya, kısmi steril teknik kullanılarak kapalı redüksiyon ve fiksasyon uygulanan 712 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar ameliyat sonrası oluşabilecek olan enfeksiyon ve diğer komplikasyonlar açısından değerlendirildi. Klinik ve radyolojik değerlendirmeler yapıldı. BULGULAR: Elli iki hastada (%7.22), ağızdan antibiyotik tedavisi ve tel dibi bakımına cevap veren erken tel çekilmesini (üç hafta öncesi) gerektirmeyen çivi yolu enfeksiyonu izlendi. Derin enfeksiyon ile karşılaşılmadı. Redüksiyon kaybı ile 82 hastada (%11.5) karşılaşıldı. Elli iki tanesi (%7.3) ulnar sinir olmak üzere toplam 59 (%8.3) iyatrojenik sinir yaralanması oluştu. Yirmi dokuz (%4.1) hastada klinik olarak belirgin kubitus varus deformitesi vardı.TARTIŞMA: Kısmi steril teknik suprakondiler humerus kırıklarının tedavisinde etkiliymiş gibi görünmekteyse de artmış tel dibi enfeksiyon oranları kaygı vericidir.
