Effects of two different grafts on radiological and functional outcomes in the surgical treatment of calcaneus fractures

Year 2024, Volume: 5 Issue: 5, 284 - 287, 26.10.2024

Abstract

Aims: There are no standards regarding the use and selection of grafts for calcaneal fractures in the literature. This study aims to contribute to the literature by evaluating the effects of allografts and synthetic grafts on union and functional outcomes in the treatment of calcaneal fractures.
Methods: Intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated surgically between 2011 and 2018 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of graft used: synthetic grafts (G45S5 bioactive glass, Noraker®) or allografts. The Böhler angle and Gissane angle were measured radiologically. Functional outcomes were assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Score and Maryland Foot Score at the final follow-up.
Results: The average age in the synthetic graft group was 37.5±12.4 years, while that of the allograft group was 37.8±8.6 years. Radiographic evaluations of both groups showed some degree of collapse in the posterior facet of the talocalcaneal joint in both postoperative and 2-year follow-up images. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of the AOFAS Score or Maryland Foot Score at the 2-year postoperative evaluation.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in functional and radiological outcomes between synthetic and allografts in the surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures.

Kalkaneus kırıklarının cerrahi tedavisinde kullanılan iki farklı greftin radyolojik ve fonksiyonel sonuçlara etkisi

Year 2024, Volume: 5 Issue: 5, 284 - 287, 26.10.2024

Abstract

Literatürde kalkaneus kırıklarında greft kullanımı ve kullanılan greft seçiminde bir standart yoktur. Literatüre greft tercihi hakkında katkı sağlanması ve allogreft ve sentetik greftlerin kalkaneus kırıklarında kaynama ve fonksiyonel sonuçları üzerine etkisininin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Metod
2011 ve 2018 yılları arasında cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen ve en az 2 yıllık takibi olan kalkaneus eklem içi kırıkları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar kullanılan greft türüne göre iki gruba ayrıldı; sentetik greft (G45S5 Bioglass (Noraker®)), allogreft. Bohler açısı ve Gissane açısı radyolojik olarak ölçüldü Hastaların fonksiyonel sonuçlarını değerlendirmek için son kontrollerindeki AOFAS ve Maryland Foot Score’ları değerlendirildi.
Bulgular
Sentetik greft grubunda ortalama yaş 37.5±12.4, allogreft grubunda 37.8±8.6 idi. İki grupta da kendi içinde postoperatif ile postoperatif ikinci yıl radyografileri değerlendirildiğinde talokalkaneal eklemin posterior facet inde bir miktar çökme olduğu saptanmıştır. Hastaların cerrahi sonrası 2. yılda fonksiyonel olarak değerlendirildiği AOFAS ve Maryland Score sonuçlarında da iki grup arasında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç
Kalkaneus kırıklarının cerrahi tedavisinde sentetik greftler ve allogreftler arasında fonksiyonel ve radyolojik sonuçlar açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
