Abstract

Forty-four supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the femur treated with 95 degree angulated condylar plates and Dynamic Condylar Screws (DCS) were retrospectively evaluated. AII patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The follow-up periods ranged between 1.5-11.2 years (mean, 4 years). Fractures united 2 to 6 months clinically and 2.5 to 7 months radiologically in the final controls. Clinically 35 patients (79.6%) had excellent/good results nine patients (20.4%) had fair/failure results. Radiologically 39 patients (88.6%) had excellent/good results. Five patients (11.4%) had fair/failure results. Of the patients who were treated with 95 degree angulated condylar plates, clinically, 15 (75%) had excellent/good results and 5(25%) fair/failure; and of the patients who were treated with DCS, 20 (83.5%) had excellent/good results and 4 (16.5%) had fair/failure results. We conclude that both L -plate and DCS can be applied in the treatment of isolated supracondylar femur fractures. With the application of DCS, better outcomes can also be anticipated in the remaining fractures.

Abstract

41 olgunun 44 suprakondiler ve interkondiler femur kınğı açık redüksiyon ve internal fiksasyon yöntemiyle tedavi edildi. 20 olguda 95 derece açılı L-plak, 34 olguda ise Dinamik Kondiler Çivili Plak (DCS) kullanıldı. 0lgular 1.5 ile 11.2 yıl arasında takip edildi. Klinik olarak kaynama süresi 2-6 ay, radyolojik olarak ise 2.5-7 ay arasındaydı. Olgular son kontrollerinde klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirildi. Klinik olarak %79.6 ''çok iyi ve iyi'', %20.4 ''orta ve yetersiz'' radyolojik olarak da; %88.6 ''çok iyi ve iyi '', % 11.4 ''orta ve yetersiz'' sonuç alındı. Klinik olarak L-plak uygulayarak tedavi ettiğimiz olguların 15'inde (%75) ''çok iyi ve iyi'', S'inde (%25) 'orta ve yetersiz', DCS kullanarak tedavi ettiğimiz olguların ise 20'sinde (%83.5) ''çok iyi ve iyi'', 4'ünde (% 16.5) ''orta ve yetersiz'' sonuç alındı. Sonuç olarak, izole suprakondiler femur kırıklarında hem L-plak hem de DCS kullamlabileceği, diğer kırıkların tedavisinde ise DCS kullanılarak daha iyi sonuçların alınabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
