Abstract

Objectives: We retrospectively compared the treatment results of functional bracing and locked intramedullary nailing for humeral shaft fractures in two similar patient groups.Patients and methods: Sixty-seven patients were treated conservatively with a prefabricated functional brace (group 1, n=35, mean age 34 years) or surgically with a locked intramedullary nail (group 2, n=32, mean age 37 years) for acute, isolated, and closed humeral shaft fractures. The average time from injury to treatment was five days (range 2 to 11 days) in group 1, and four days (range 1 to 7 days) in group 2. The results were assessed according to the Constant-Murley shoulder scoring system. The mean follow-up was 15.2 months in group 1 and 16.3 months in group 2.Results: Hospitalization was significantly shorter in group 1 (mean, 7 days versus 21 days; p=0.001). The average time to union was 13.4 weeks in group 1, and 13.9 weeks in group 2 (p=0.5). Eleven patients (31.4%) and two patients (6.3%) developed an average varus angulation of 8.5° and 5° in group 1 and 2, respectively. Three patients (8.6%) had apex-anterior angulation (mean 7°), and one patient (2.9%) had 4° apex-posterior angulation in group 1. Three patients (8.6%) in group 1, and two patients (6.3%) in group 2 had abduction losses of less than 10°. External rotation of the shoulder decreased by less than 10° in two patients (5.7%) in group 1 and in two patients (6.3%) in group 2. Shortening (range 5 to 20 mm) developed in four patients in group 1. One patient (2.9%) with a transverse fracture developed nonunion in group 1. Prominence of the proximal end of the nail was seen in two patients (6.3%), one of which required removal. The results were all excellent or good in both groups, with an average score of 86.5 in group 1, and 85.9 in group 2 (p=0.7).Conclusion: Although both methods offer satisfactory results in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures, we recommend functional bracing as the method of choice unless it is contraindicated.

Özet

Amaç: Humerus şaft kırıklarının tedavisinde fonksiyonel breys ya da kilitli intramedüller çivi uygulamalarının sonuçları benzer iki hasta grubunda geriye dönük olarak karşılaştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Akut, izole ve kapalı humerus şaft kırığı olan 67 hastanın 35'i (grup 1; ort. yaş 34) özel hazırlanmış fonksiyonel breys ile, 32'si (grup 2; ort. yaş 37) kilitli intramedüller çivilemeyle tedavi edildi. Yaralanmadan tedaviye kadar geçen süre grup 1'de ortalama beş gün (dağılım 2-11 gün), grup 2'de dört gün (dağılım 1-7 gün) idi. Tedavi sonuçları Constant-Murley omuz skorlama sistemine göre değerlendirildi. Ortalama izlem süresi grup 1'de 15.2 ay, grup 2'de 16.3 ay idi.Bulgular: Grup 1'de hastanede kalış süresi anlamlı derecede kısa bulundu (sırasıyla, ort. 7 gün ve 21 gün; p=0.001). Kaynama grup 1'de ortalama 13.4 haftada, grup 2'de 13.9 haftada gerçekleşti (p=0.5). Grup 1'de 11 hastada (%31.4) ortalama 8.5°, grup 2'de iki hastada (%6.3) 5° varus açılanması meydana geldi. Grup 1'de üç hastada (%8.6) ortalama 7° apeks-anterior açılanması, bir hastada (%2.9) 4° apeks-posterior açılanması görüldü. Grup 1'de üç hastada (%8.6), grup 2'de iki hastada (%6.3) 10 dereceden az abdüksiyon kaybı meydana geldi. İki grupta da ikişer hastada omuz dış rotasyonunun 10 dereceden düşük olmak üzere azaldığı görüldü. Ekstremite kısalığı (dağılım 5-20 mm) sadece grup 1'de dört hastada gelişti. Grup 1'de transvers kırığı olan bir hastada (%2.9) kaynama elde edilememesi üzerine cerrahi uygulandı. İki hastada (%6.3) çivinin proksimal ucunda çıkıntı oluştu ve birinde çivinin çıkarılması gerekti. Sonuçlar her iki grupta da tüm hastalarda mükemmel ya da iyi bulundu; ortalama omuz skoru grup 1'de 86.5, grup 2'de 85.9 idi (p=0.7).Sonuç: Humerus şaft kırıklarında her iki yöntemle de tatmin edici sonuç alınmasına karşın, kontrendikasyon olmadıkça, fonksiyonel breysin ilk tedavi seçeneği olması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
