Although the small number of cases makes impossible to extract a statistical meaning, the success rate of 97% suggest that this method may have some value in choosing the type of treatment and prediction of major postoperative complications such as avascular necrosis and nonunion.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:We have evaluated the probable benefits of quantitative scintigraphy perfotmed at preoperative period, postoperative 3rd month and postoperative last control at least 9 months in choosing the threatment method and predicting the prognosis in intracapsular hip fracture of 12 adult patients (between 22-50 years old) treated in Taksim State Hospital, Orthopacdics and Traumatology Department between 1988 and 1989.

Abstract
We have evaluated the probable benefits of quantitative scintigraphy perfotmed at preoperative period, postoperative 3rd month and postoperative last control at least 9 months in choosing the threatment method and predicting the prognosis in intracapsular hip fracture of 12 adult patients (between 22-50 years old) treated in Taksim State Hospital, Orthopacdics and Traumatology Department between 1988 and 1989. Although the small number of cases makes impossible to extract a statistical meaning, the success rate of 97% suggest that this method may have some value in choosing the type of treatment and prediction of major postoperative complications such as avascular necrosis and nonunion.
Özet
Bu çalışmada 1988-1989 yıllarında Sağlık Bakanlığı Taksim Hastanesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Kliniğinde femur boynu kırığı nedeniyle tedavi edilen 12 genç erişkin hastanın (12-50 yaş arası) preoperatif, postcperatif 3. ay ve postoperatif son kontrolde (en erken 9 ay), çekilen kantitatif sintigrafileri incelenerek bu yöntemin tedavi seçimindeki ve prognoz tayinindeki muhtemel yararları irdelenmiştir. Serimiz çok küçük olduğu için istatistiksel bir anlam çıkartılamamasına rağmen, tedavi sonucunda elde ettigimiz %97'1ik başarı oranı bu yöntemin tedavi seçimi ve postoperatif takipte yardımcı olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
