Abstract

Objectives: In this study, we presented our experience with Ilizarov augmentation in the treatment of patients with humeral shaft nonunion following failed intramedullary nail fixation. Patients and methods: Seven patients (4 females, 3 males; mean age 47 years; range 32 to 62 years) with established humeral nonunions following antegrade intramedullary nailing were evaluated retrospectively. In all patients an Ilizarov fixator was applied over the nail as a closed procedure. The average period between the first injury and fixator application was 12.2 months (range 8 to 21). The patients were assessed radiologically with respect to bony union at follow-up. Constant scoring was used to assess shoulder function in the clinical evaluation. Results: All nonunions healed without a major complication. Five patients had superficial pin tract infections which responded well to antibiotic treatment. The followup average Constant score was 78. Conclusion: Ilizarov external fixation is an alternative and effective method in the treatment of aseptic humeral shaft nonunion following failed intramedullary nailing.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada intramedüller çivi ile başarısız tespit sonucu humerus cisimde kaynamama gelişen hastaların tedavisinde uygulanan İlizarov fiksatörü ile destekleme deneyimimiz sunuldu. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Antegrad intramedüller çivi uygulandıktan sonra humeral kaynamama saptanan yedi hasta (4 kadın 3 erkek; ort. yaş 47 yıl; dağılım 32-62 yıl) geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Kaynamayı sağlamak amacıyla İlizarov fiksatörü, tüm hastalara intramedüller çivi çıkarılmadan kapalı yöntemle uygulandı. İlk yaralanmadan fiksatör uygulanana kadar geçen süre ortalama 12.2 ay (dağılım 8-21) idi. Hastalar takiplerinde kırık kaynaması açısından radyolojik olarak değerlendirildi. Omuz fonksiyonlarının belirlenmesi ve klinik değerlendirmesinde Constant puanlaması kullanıldı. Bulgular: Tüm kaynamamalar ciddi bir komplikasyon olmadan iyileşti. Beş hastada antibiyotik tedavisine iyi yanıt veren yüzeyel çivi yolu enfeksiyonu gelişti. Takiplerde ortalama Constant puanı 78 idi. Sonuç: Başarısız intramedüller çivi uygulaması sonrası gelişen aseptik humerus cisim kaynamamalarında İlizarov yöntemi ile eksternal tespit etkili bir tedavi seçeneğidir.
