Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the nitinol (X-Fuse®) implant in arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal and the thumb joints with respect to bone fusion and clinical efficiency.Patients and methods: This prospective study included 24 consecutive patients (7 males, 17 females; mean age 56.8 years; range 27 to 79 years) with nitinol (X-Fuse®) implants in their 41 joints. All patients were followed-up clinically and radiographically with respect to fusion, complications and outcome at a minimum of 14 months postoperatively (mean 28±6 months). X-rays, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, and visual analog scale scores were recorded preoperatively and at postoperative fifth week, third month, first year, and subsequent visits.Results: The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score improved significantly from preoperative 37.7 points to postoperative 14.5 points at first year. The visual analog scale score improved significantly from preoperative 5.5 to postoperative 0.85 points at first year. Failure to fuse only occurred in two joints (5%), resulting in fusion after reoperation. No other severe complications such as deep infection, intraoperative fracture, wound healing problems or regional dystrophy were observed.Conclusion: The X-Fuse® implant may be a reliable alternative method for finger joint arthrodesis.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada distal interfalangeal ve başparmak eklemlerinin artrodezinde nitinol (X-Fuse®) implant, kemik füzyonu ve klinik etkinlik açısından değerlendirildi.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Bu prospektif çalışmaya 41 ekleminde nitinol (X-Fuse®) implant olan 24 ardışık hasta (7 erkek, 17 kadın; ort. yaş 56,8 yıl; dağılım 27-79 yıl) dahil edildi. Tüm hastalar ameliyat sonrası en az 14 ay (ort. 28±6 ay) füzyon, komplikasyonlar ve sonuçlar açısından klinik ve radyografik olarak takip edildi. Röntgen filmleri, Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları ve görsel analog ölçeği skorları ameliyat öncesinde ve ameliyat sonrası beşinci hafta, üçüncü ay, birinci yıl ve sonraki vizitlerde kaydedildi.Bulgular: Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları skoru ameliyat öncesi 37,7 puandan ameliyat sonrası birinci yılda 14,5 puana anlamlı şekilde iyileşti. Görsel analog ölçeği skoru ameliyat öncesi 5,5 puandan ameliyat sonrası birinci yılda 0,85 puana anlamlı şekilde iyileşti. Sadece iki eklemde (%5) füzyon gerçekleşmedi; yeniden ameliyatı takiben füzyon oldu. Derin enfeksiyon, ameliyat sırası kırık, yara iyileşmesi sorunları veya bölgesel distrofi gibi diğer ciddi komplikasyonlar gözlemlenmedi.Sonuç: X-Fuse® implant parmak eklemi artrodezinde güvenilir bir alternatif yöntem olabilir.
