Abstract

Objective: Although foreign body injuries are quite common, there are an insufficient number of publications on this matter. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with foreign body injuries, and to determine the treatment algorithm. Methods: A total of 97 patients were evaluated, including 53 men and 44 women. Ninety-one patients underwent surgery, and six patients were treated conservatively. Surgery was performed in the operating room in all cases. To ensure that the foreign body was removed, fluoroscopic control was completed during and after the procedure. Antibiotics were administered routinely to all patients, and the need for tetanus prophylaxis was evaluated in each patient. Results: The mean age of the patients was 16.5 (range: 2-58) years. Regarding the type of foreign body, there was injury due to: a needle in 65 patients, glass in 14, wood in 7, iron spit in 1, iron bar in 1, pieces of metal in 3, and other foreign bodies were found in 6 patients. There were 25 injuries of the upper extremity, and 72 of the lower extremity. The time of admission to the hospital after the injury ranged from 1 day to 3 years. Obvious signs of infection were detected in 10 patients. There were no complications after the follow-up of patients who were treated conservatively. Conclusion: Foreign body penetration is a severe injury that may cause significant problems when ignored. Treatment algorithms prepared according to the type of injury would guide the most appropriate approach to these injuries. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (4): 443-448

Abstract

Amaç: Toplumda çok sık görülmesine rağmen, ortopedik sahayı ilgilendiren yabancı cisim batmaları literatürde yeteri kadar yer bulmamıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı yabancı cisim batması nedeni ile takip ettiğimiz hastaları değerlendirmek ve tedavi yaklaşımı ortaya koymaktır. Yöntemler: 53 erkek, 44 kadın olmak üzere toplam 97 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların 91\'ine cerrahi, 6\'sına konservatif tedavi uygulandı. Cerrahi girişimlerin tamamı ameliyathane şartlarında gerçekleştirildi. Operasyon sırasında ve sonrasında skopi kontrolü yapılarak yabancı cisim ya da cisimlerin çıkarıldığından emin olundu. Rutin olarak antibiyotik uygulanan hastalar tetanoz profilaksisi açısından da değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 16,5 (dağılım; 2-58) YIL idi. Hastaların 65\'inde iğne, 14\'ünde cam, 7\'sinde tahta, 1\'inde şiş, 1\'inde demir çubuk, 3\'ünde metal parçası ve 6\'sında diğer yabancı cisimler tespit edildi. Yaralanmaların 25\'i üst ekstremitede, 72\'si ise alt ekstremitede idi. Yaralanma sonrası hastaneye başvuru süresi 1 gün-3 yıl arasında değişmekteydi. Toplam 10 hastada belirgin enfeksiyon bulguları tespit edildi. Konservatif kalınan hastaların sonraki takiplerinde komplikasyon görülmedi. Sonuç: Yabancı cisim batmaları, dikkatli değerlendirilmediğinde önemli sorunlara yol açabilen ciddi yaralanmalardır. Yaralanmanın tipine göre hazırlanan tedavi şemaları en uygun yaklaşımı belirlemede yol gösterici olacaktır.
