Abstract

Introduction: In our study; we evaluated the forearm fractures in children which were fixed by intramedullary kirschner wires through open reduction with mini incision, prospectively. Patients and Methods: There were 20 forearm fractures of two girls and 18 boys who were between 8-14 years. Unsuccessfull reduction in eleven patients, loss of reduction during follow-up in five patients, open fractures in two and refracture in two patients were indications for intramedullar fixation. Forearm fractures were fixed by retrograd intramedullary nailing with two kirschner wires through limited incision under general anesthesia. Cast splint was applied for 20 days and kirschner wires were removed approximately 40.5 days. Results: Mean follow-up period was 36 (24-68) months. In clinical and radiological follow-up; we didn't observe any length discrepiencies, nonunion or infection. Limitation in rotation of the forearm were observed in four patients. There were two radial angulation through volar direction. According to Price's evaluation criterias, there were 19 excellent and 1 good results. Discussion: Open reduction and intramedullary fixation with kirschner wires through limited incision is an easy, reliable and alternative method for the forearm fractures in children aged between 8-14 years.

Özet

Giriş: Araştırmamızda, çocuk önkol kırıklarında mini keşi ile açık redüksiyonu takiben kirschner telleri ile intramedüller çivileme yapılan olgular prospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar ve Yöntem: 8-14 yaş arası 2'si kız 18'i erkek toplam 20 önkol çift kemik kırıklı olgu çalışmaya alındı. 11 olguda kapalı redüksiyon başarısızlığı, 5 olguda izlemelerinde redüksiyon kaybı, 2 olguda açık kırık ve 2 olguda da tekrarlayan kırık mevcut idi. Ortalama yaş 11.7 yıl ve takip süresi en az 24 ay olmak üzere ortalama 36 (24-68) aydı. Genel anestezi altında kırık hatlarına minimal kesiler ile girilerek radius ve ulna birer adet kirschner teli ile retrograd olarak tespit edildi. Uzun kol atel ortalama 20 gün uygulandı ve kirschner telleri ortalama 40.5 günde çıkarıldı. Sonuçlar: Klinik ve radyolojik izlenmelerinde, hiçbir olguda uzunluk farklılığı, kaynamama ve enfeksiyon saptanmadı. 4 olguda önkol rotasyon kısıtlılığı görüldü. 2 olguda volar yönde radial açılanma saptandı. Price'in değerlendirme kriterlerine göre, 19 olguda mükemmel ve l olguda iyi sonuç elde edildi. Tartışma: Kapalı redaksiyonun başarılı olmadığı veya takiplerinde redüksiyon kaybı olan olgularda, çoklu yaralanmalarda ve açık kırıklar gibi 8-14 yaş arası sorunlu çocuk önkol kırıklarında, sınırlı keşi ile açık redüksiyonu takiben kirschner telleri ile intramedüller çivileme yöntemi; teknik olarak basit, sonuçları iyi ve güvenilir bir tedavi şeklidir.
