Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of radial bowing changes on fracture healing and functional results in adult forearm intramedullary nail applications and complications of forearm nails that have been discussed rarely in the literature.Patients and methods: Twenty-three patients -11 with isolated radius and 12 with both radius and ulna fractures- (17 males, 6 females; mean age 38.6 years; range 18 to 69 years) who were operated between September 2009 and August 2014 were included in the study. The effects of radial bowing changes on bone healing rates, time to union, and functional levels of the forearm as well as complications of forearm nails were evaluated.Results: We observed fracture healing without any complication in 20 patients (86.9%) and nonunion in three patients (13.1%) although six months had passed after the operation. Statistically significant difference was detected between radial bowing change and nonunion (p=0.01). Two patients (8.6%) with AO/OTA Classification (The Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen [AO]/Orthopaedic Trauma Association [OTA] Classification), type B3 forearm double fractures had synostosis. Extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture or impingement was detected in six patients (26.8%) for which nails were applied on radius fracture.Conclusion: Intramedullary nail application may be an appropriate treatment alternative in forearm fractures with their high healing rates; however, synostosis may arise with its use in wedge fractures (AO/OTA type B3) at the same level. Although radial bowing changes do not have a significant effect on ranges of motion of the forearm, it should be kept in mind that fracture healing may be affected adversely in patients with radial bowing changes of high rates. Complications regarding extensor pollicis longus tendon may develop during intra- or postoperative periods in patients for which a radius nail has been applied.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada erişkin önkol intramedüller çivi uygulamalarında radial eğim değişimlerinin kırık iyileşmesine ve fonksiyonel sonuçlara etkileri ve literatürde pek az tartışılmış olan önkol çivilerinin komplikasyonları değerlendirildi.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Eylül 2009 - Ağustos 2014 tarihleri arasında ameliyat edilen, 11'i izole radius, 12'si önkol çift kırığı olan 23 hasta (17 erkek, 6 kadın; ort. yaş 38.6 yıl; dağılım 18-69 yıl) çalışmaya alındı. Radial eğim değişimlerinin kırık kaynaması oranlarına, kaynama zamanına ve önkol fonksiyonel düzeylerine olan etkileri ve önkol çivilerinin komplikasyonları değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yirmi hastada (%86.9) herhangi bir komplikasyon olmadan kırık kaynaması olduğu, üç hastada ameliyattan sonra altı ay geçmesine rağmen kaynama olmadığı görüldü (%13.1). Radial eğim değişimi ile kaynamama arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulundu (p=0.01). AO/OTA Classification (The Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen [AO]/Orthopaedic Trauma Association [OTA] Classification), tip B3 önkol çift kırıklı iki hastada (%8.6) sinostoz vardı. Radius kırığına çivi uygulanan altı hastada (%26.8) ekstansör pollicis longus tendon kopması veya basısı olduğu saptandı.Sonuç: İntramedüller çivi uygulaması önkol kırıklarında yüksek kaynama oranları ile uygun bir tedavi yöntemi olabilir, fakat aynı seviyede kelebek fragmanlı kırıklarda (AO/OTA tip B3) kullanımında sinostoz gelişebilmektedir. Radial eğim değişimlerinin önkol hareket açıklıkları üzerine belirgin etkisi bulunmamakla beraber, yüksek oranlarda radial eğim değişimleri olan hastalarda kırık kaynamasının olumsuz etkilenebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Radius çivisi uygulanan hastalarda ameliyat sırası veya sonrası dönemde ekstansör pollicis longus tendonu ile ilgili komplikasyonlar ortaya çıkabilmektedir.
