Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of anatomic volar plate application in AO type C distal radius fractures. Methods: Patients who were operated on between January 2015 and April 2016 due to AO type C distal radius fracture were screened retrospectively from the hospital file and radiology archive. Clinical outcomes were determined by the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score from outpatient records. The Stewart radiological scores were assessed with the measurements obtained from radiology archives. The complications were noted. Results: Overall, 16 patients (mean age, 52 years) were included in the study. In total, 9 of the patients were female, and 7 of the patients were male. The mean follow-up period was 11.9 months. The mean DASH score was 33.9, and the mean Stewart radiological score was 0.9. The bone union was accomplished in all patients. One infection, one joint stiffness, one carpal tunnel syndrome, and 2 tendinitis were observed as complication. Conclusion: Volar plate fixation in the AO type C distal radius fractures provides satisfactory results in terms of either clinical or radiological outcomes. Despite that, the complications regarding surgery and the implants are not rare.

Özet

Amaç: Erişkinlerde AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen)tip C distal radius kırıklarının volar anatomik plak ile tedavisi ve sonuçlarınındeğerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Hastane dosya ve radyoloji arşivinden Ocak 2015 ileNisan 2016 yılları arasında AO tip C distal radius kırığı nedeniyleopere edilen hastalar retrospektif olarak tarandı. Operasyon sonrasıpoliklinik kontrollerine gelen hastaların dosyalarından kol,omuz ve el sorunları anketi (DASH) ile skorlaması alınarak kliniksonuçları kaydedildi. Radyoloji arşivinden elde edilen görüntülerile ölçümler yapılıp Stewart radyolojik skorları tespit edildi. Gelişenkomplikasyonlar kaydedildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 9 kadın ve 7 erkek olmak üzere 16 hasta dahiledildi. Ortalama yaş 52; ortalama takip süreleri 11,9 ay olarak tespitedildi. Ortalama DASH skoru 33,9 ve ortalama Stewart radyolojikskoru 0,9 olarak ölçüldü. Tüm hastalarda kaynama sağlandı. Komplikasyonlar,1 hastada yüzeyel enfeksiyon, 1 hastada eklem sertliği, 1hastada karpal tünel sendromu ve 2 hastada tendinitiydi.Sonuçlar: AO tip C distal radius kırıklarında volar plak uygulaması,gerek fonksiyonel gerekse radyolojik açıdan tatminkar sonuçlar sağlamaktadır.Buna karşın gelişebilecek komplikasyonlar azımsanmayacakkadar yüksektir.
