Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the results of lengthening of the phalanges by callus distraction in traumatic amputations of the fingers. Methods: We treated traumatic amputations of 16 fingers of 13 male patients (mean age 27.7 years; range 12 to 43 years) by callotasis of the phalanges. Callus distraction was performed with a rate of 1 mm/day using a unilateral dynamic external fixation device. The mean follow-up period was 42 months (range 12 to 80 months). Results: The mean lengthening was 24 mm (range 18 to 26 mm) and 21 mm (range 18 to 26 mm) for the thumbs and the other fingers, respectively. The achieved thumb length provided adequate depth and width of the first web space and enabled functional improvement in the ability of gripping, and pulp-to-pulp and pulp-to-side pinching, hi the absence of flexor pollicis longus, the mean strength of the thumbs was 7 kg (range 5 to 9 kg), amounting to 65% of the normal side. Lengthening of the other fingers resulted in improved functioning of the hand. The mean healing index (number of months per centimetre of lengthening) was 1.7 months/cm (range 1.6 to 2.1 months/cm) and 1.6 months/cm (range 1.4 to 1.9 months/cm) in the thumbs and the other fingers, respectively. Pin tract infections were observed in four phalanges. Conclusion: Callotasis of the proximal phalanx of the thumb is an effective reconstruction method to compensate for the loss of distal phalanx and to alleviate functional problems due to shortness. It may also be applied to the phalanges of the other fingers in patients who.,who do not accept ray resection with or without transposition.

Özet

Amaç: El parmaklarının travmatik amputasyonlarmda kallus distraksiyonu ile falangeal uzatma uyguladığımız olguların sonuçları değerlendirildi. Çalışma planı: El parmaklarında travmatik amputasyon olan 13 erkek hastanın (ort. yaş 27.7; dağılım 12-43) 16 falanksı kallus distraksiyonu yöntemi ile uzatıldı. Uzatma tek taraflı dinamik eksternal fiksäsyon cihazı ile l mm/gün şeklinde uygulandı. Ortalama izlem süresi 42 ay (dağılım 12-80 ay) idi. Sonuçlar: Başparmaklarda ortalama 24 mm (dağılım 18-26 mm), diğer parmaklarda 21 mm (dağılım 18-26 mm) uzama sağlandı. Başparmaklarda oluşan yeni parmak boyu ile birinci web derinliği ve açıklığı yeterli hale geldi ve elin uc-uc, uc-yan ve kaba kavramalarında fonksiyonel açıdan artış görüldü. Başparmak gücü, fleksör pollisis longusun katkısı ortadan kalktığı için, sağlam tarafın %65'ine karşılık gelecek şekilde, ortalama 7 kilogram (dağılım 5-9 kg) olarak ölçüldü. Diğer parmaklardaki uzama elin kullanım fonksiyonunu artırdı. İyileşme indeksi (l cm uzama için geçen ay sayısı), başparmaklarda ortalama 1.7 ay/cm (dağılım 1.6-2.1 ay/cm), diğer parmaklarda 1.6 ay/cm (dağılım 1.4-1.9 ay/cm) bulundu. Dört parmakta çivi dibi enfeksiyonu görüldü. Çıkarımlar: Başparmak distal falanks kayıplarında, baş parmak kısalığının yol açtığı fonksiyonel sorunların giderilmesinde, proksimal falanksa yapılan uzatma osteotomisi etkin bir rekonstrüksiyon yöntemidir. Diğer parmaklarda ise, ray rezeksiyon veya ray rezeksiyon ve transpozisyon yöntemini kabul etmeyen hastalarda uygulanabilir bir yöntemdir
