Abstract

Objectives: We reviewed the results of a transverse osteotomy for cubitus varus deformity in adults stabilized by two different methods of fixation with either Kirschner wire (K-wire) or Y plate. Patients and methods: Sixteen soldiers were treated by a lateral closing wedge osteotomy of the distal humerus for cubitus varus deformity in the military infirmary. Two different methods of fixation were used for the osteotomy. The osteotomies were stabilized with K-wires in the initial five cases. Because of loosening of the pins and loss of correction in these five cases, Y plates were introduced for fixation in the other patients. Results: Three patients in the K-wire group, and one case in the Y plate fixation group had poor results. Lateral closing wedge osteotomy is technically easy and allows three dimensional correction. Accompanying displaced ulnar nerves and snapping triceps tendons were spontaneously corrected by the osteotomy. Conclusion: Y plates provide rigid fixation that permits early active motion and prevents possible complications related to implant failure or loss of fixation.

Özet

Amaç: Erişkin kubitus varus deformitesi için uygulanan transvers osteotominin stabilizasyonunda Kirschner teli (K-teli) ya da Y plakla tespit edilen iki farklı yöntemin sonuçları gözden geçirildi. Hastalar ve yöntemler: On altı asker hasta askeri hastanede distal humerusta kubitus varus deformitesi için lateral kapalı kama osteotomisi ile tedavi edildi. Osteotomi için iki farklı tespit yöntemi kullanıldı. İlk beş hastada osteotomiler K-telleri kullanılarak tespit edildi. Bu beş hastada düzelme kaybı ve tellerin gevşeme sorunuyla karşılaşıldığından, diğer hastalarda tespit için Y plakları uygulandı. Bulgular: Kirschner teli grubunda üç ve Y plakla tespit uygulanan grupta bir hastada kötü sonuç alındı. Lateral kapalı kama osteotomisi teknik olarak kolaydır ve üç planlı deformite düzeltmeye izin verir. Hastalarımızda eşlik eden ulnar sinirin yer değiştirmesi ve triseps tendon atlaması osteotomiyle kendiliğinden düzeldi. Sonuç: Y plaklar, rijit tespit sağlamakla birlikte erken aktif harekete izin verir ve tespit kaybı veya implant yetmezliği gibi olası ilişkili komplikasyonları önler.
