Abstract

BACKGROUND: High-energy traumas are common occurrences worldwide. The rate of overlooked neck fractures in polytraumacases is also high. Previous studies have shown that articular hip pathologies, particularly neck fractures, are associated with fracturesof the femoral shaft. This study sets out to describe cases of intra-articular hip pathology following traumatic femoral shaft fracture.Thus, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between ipsilateral hip pain and femoral shaft fractures.METHODS: Patients who were diagnosed with a fracture of the femur shaft and who were operated on (intramedullary fixation orplate) were included in this study. Patients with pathologic fractures, femoral neck fractures, femoral intertrochanteric fractures, orpelvic fractures were excluded. Patients with at least six months of follow-up and who were capable of independent walking withoutsupport were grouped according to AO/OTA fracture classification. Patients were questioned for deep anterior groin pain, and physicalexamination tests and hip imaging (X-ray and MR arthrography) were performed by calling patients with the indicated complaints.RESULTS: The presence of labral tears were noted in two patients. The incidence of osseous bump of the femoral neck identifiedby MR arthrography (MRA) was found in three of 16 hips. Assessment of the presence of gluteal tendinosis or tear and herniation pitidentified three of 16 hips. The presence of osteophytes was noted in one patient. MRA identified three of 16 hips with more thanone type of intra-articular pathology. Two patients with an osseous bump of the femoral neck were also diagnosed with additional hippathology as herniation pit.CONCLUSION: Anterior groin pain in patients with a history of femoral shaft fracture is not always related to implants. Orthopedicsurgeons should become suspicious in cases of intra-articular hip pathology in patients who have persistent hip pain after severe lowerextremity trauma.

Özet

AMAÇ: Yüksek enerjili travmalar dünya çapında yaygın karşılaşılan olaylardır. Politravma olgularında gözden kaçan boyun kırıklarının oranı da yüksektir. Daha önce yapılan çalışmalar artiküler (eklem içi) kalça patolojilerinin, özellikle de boyun kırıklarının femoral şaft kırıkları ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı travmatik femoral şaft kırığını takiben eklem içi kalça patolojisi olgularını tanımlamaktır. Bu çalışmanın araştırma sorusu “Femur şaft kırıklarından sonra femur boynu kırılmayan hastaların kalça eklemlerinde ne oluyor?” dur. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Femur şaft kırığı tanısı konan ve ameliyat edilen hastalar (intramedüller fiksasyon veya plak uygulaması) çalışmaya alındı. En az altı ay takip edilen ve desteksiz bağımsız yürüme yeteneğine sahip hastalar AO/OTA kırık sınıflamasına göre gruplandırıldı. Hastalara derin anterior kasık ağrısı soruldu ve belirtilen şikayetleri olan hastalar aranarak fizik muayene ve kalça görüntüleme (X-ray ve manyetik rezonans artrografi [MRA]) yapıldı. BULGULAR: İki hastada labral yırtık tespit edildi. MRA ile femur boynu osseöz bump 16 kalçadan üçünde bulundu. Gluteal tendinosis veya gözyaşı ve herniasyon pit (çukurunun) varlığının değerlendirilmesi, 16 kalçadan üçünde tespit edilmiştir. Bir hastada osteofit varlığı belirlendi. MRA ile, 16 kalçadan üçünde birden fazla tipte intra-artiküler (eklem içi) patoloji tanımlandı. Femur boynu osseöz bumpı olan iki hastaya da herniasyon pit olarak ek kalça patolojisi tanısı konuldu. TARTIŞMA: Femur şaft kırığı öyküsü olan hastalarda kasık önü ağrısı her zaman implantlarla ilişkili değildir. Ortopedik cerrahlar, şiddetli alt ekstremite travması sonrası kalıcı kalça ağrısı olan hastalarda eklem içi kalça patolojilerinden şüphelenmelidirler.
