Abstract

Introduction: Although the gold standard for surgical treatment of humerus shaft fractures is internal fixation there still controversy exists on the fixation method of choice. In this study, we aimed to compare the results of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis MIPPO with posterior conventional plating ORIF of the humerus shaft fracture. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2014, a retrospective study was conducted on 47 patients whom were operated for humerus fracture by internal fixation. Of them, 27 were performed ORIF Group A and 20 were performed MIPPO Group B technique. Each group was statistically compared for bony union time, functional scores, time to return work and operation time. Results: There were not statistically significant difference between two groups with regard to bony union time, functional scores and time to return to work p>0.05 . The mean bony union time in two groups was 16.37±2.55 weeks. The mean operation time in MIPPO group was lower and it was statistically significant 96.52±10.98’ye vs. 65.90±6.52

Humerus Cisim Kırıklarının Cerrahi Tedavisinde Konvansiyonel Plaklama mı Minimal İnvaziv Plak Osteosentezi mi Daha Üstün?

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Humerus cisim kırıklarının cerrahi tedavisinde internal tespit yöntemi altın standart olarak kabul edilse de internal tespitin hangi yöntemle yapılacağı konusunda fikir birliği yoktur. Bu çalışmada, humerus cisim kırığı nedeniyle internal tespit uygulanan hastalarda kullanılan minimal invaziv plaklama MİPPO ve posterior yaklaşımla konvansiyonel plaklama ARIF yöntemlerinin sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Ocak 2010 ile Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında humerus cisim kırığı nedeniyle internal tespit uygulanan 47 hasta retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bu hastalardan 27’sine ARIF Grup A , 20 hastaya ise 10 kadın 10 erkek MİPPO tekniği uygulandı Grup B . Her iki grupta kırık kaynama zamanı, fonksiyonel skorlama sonuçları, işe dönüş zamanı ve ameliyat süresi istatiksel olarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Her iki grupta kaynama zamanı, işe dönüş zamanı ve fonksiyonel skorlama sonuçları açısından fark yoktu p>0.05 . Ortalama kaynama süresi her iki grup için 16,37±2,55 hafta idi. Operasyon süresi karşılaştırıldığında MİPPO uygulanan hastalarda istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edildi 96,52±10,98’ye karşı 65,90±6,52
