Comparison of radiation exposure times in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures with open-closed reduction and internal fixation

Year 2009, Volume: 43 Issue: 5, 400 - 405, 31.10.2009

Abstract

Objectives: We compared open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction-internal fixation (CRIF) with respect to operation and radiation exposure times in the treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
Methods: This retrospective study included 124 children (76 boys, 48 girls) who underwent surgical treatment for displaced supracondylar humeral fractures (Gartland type 3). Of these, 52 patients (mean age 7.5±2.8 years) underwent ORIF, and 72 patients (mean age 6.1±2.5 years) underwent CRIF. Operation and fluoroscopy times were recorded in both groups. Final assessments included range of motion, varus- valgus angulation, neurovascular findings, and cosmetic appearance. Functional and cosmetic results were assessed using the criteria of Flynn et al. after a mean follow-up period of 49.3±18.6 months and 50.4±17.9 months in the ORIF and CRIF groups, respectively.
Results: Radiographical union was obtained in all the patients within six weeks postoperatively. The two groups did not differ with respect to functional and cosmetic results (p>0.05), with excellent-good results accounting for 90.3% in the CRIF group, and 86.6% in the ORIF group. The mean operation times were 44.2±12.6 and 28.3±8.2 minutes, and the mean fluoroscopy times were 36.0±15.3 and 11.7±4.5 seconds, in the CRIF and ORIF groups, respectively, both being significantly longer in the former (p=0.000).
Conclusion: As extended fluoroscopy use increases radiation exposure, ORIF sems to be more convenient for the treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures.

Çocuklarda suprakondiler humerus kırıklarının açık-kapalı redüksiyon ve internal tespitle tedavisinde radyasyon sürelerinin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Çocuklarda yer değiştirmiş suprakondiler humerus kırıklarında uyguladığımız K-teli ile yapılan iki tedavi yöntemi (Açık redüksiyon internal tespit-ARİF, Kapalı redüksiyon internal tespit, KRİF), ameliyat süresi ve radyasyona maruz kalma süresi açısından karşılaştırıldı.
Çalışma planı: Yer değiştirmiş suprakondiler humerus kırığı (Gartland tip 3) tanısıyla cerrahi tedavi uygulanan 124 hasta (76 erkek, 48 kız) geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Elli iki hastaya (ort. yaş 7.5±2.8) ARİF, 72 hastaya (ort. yaş 6.1±2.5) KRİF uygulandı. İki gruptaki ameliyat süresi ve floroskopi uygulama süresi kaydedildi. Hastalar son takiplerde, eklem hareket açıklığı, varus-valgus açılanma derecesi, damar sinir muayenesi ve kozmetik görünüm açısından değerlendirildi. Fonksiyonel ve kozmetik sonuçların değerlendirilmesinde Flynn ve ark.nın ölçütleri kullanıldı. Ortalama takip süresi ARİF grubunda 49.3±18.6 ay, KRİF grubunda 50.4±17.9 ay idi.
Sonuçlar: Tüm olgularda altıncı hafta sonunda radyografik kaynama görüldü. Kozmetik ve fonksiyonel açıdan iki grup arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Mükemmel ve iyi sonuç oranı KRİF grubunda %90.3, ARİF grubunda %86.6 bulundu. Ortalama ameliyat süresi, KRİF grubunda 44.2±12.6 dk, ARİF grubunda 28.3±8.2 dk bulundu. Ortalama floroskopi uygulama süresi, KRİF grubunda 36.0±15.3 sn, ARİF grubunda 11.7±4.5 sn idi. Ameliyat süresi ve floroskopi süresinin KRİF grubunda anlamlı derecede uzun olduğu görüldü (p=0.000).
Çıkarımlar: Uzamış skopi kullanımı radyasyona maruz kalmayı artırdığından, yer değiştirmiş suprakondiler humerus kırıklarında ARİF yönteminin tercih edilmesini öneriyoruz.
