Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada dengesiz radius distal uç kırıklarının volar kilitli plak ile tedavisi sonrası işlevsel ve radyolojik sonuçları, komplikasyonları değerlendirerek, kötü sonuçların belirteçlerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçladık. 

Hastalar ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2006 ile Ağustos 2016 arasında distal radius kırığı nedeniyle volar kilitli plak uygulanmış 91 hasta (55 erkek / 36 kadın) geriye dönük çalışmamıza dâhil edildi. Tüm kırıklar AO sınıflama sistemiyle sınıflandırıldı. Mayo el bilek ve hızlı DASH-T skorları ile fonksiyonel sonuçlar, Steawart skorları ile de radyolojik sonuçlar değerlendirildi. Kötü radyolojik ve fonksiyonel sonuçların belirtecek çeşitli faktörler değerlendirildi. 

Sonuçlar: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 46,9 yıl (23-72 min-maks) ve ortalama takip süresi 29,6 ay (12-39 min-maks) idi. Ortalama kırık kaynama süresi 7,3 hafta (6-11 min-maks) idi. Hastaların son kontrollerinde ortalama hızlı DASH-T skoru 7.1 (0-65.9) ve Mayo el bilek skoru 85.8 (55-100) idi. 10 hastada takipte çeşitli komplikasyonlar görülmüştü; 8 hastada yara yeri enfeksiyonu, 2 hastada hipertrofik skar görüldü. Kötü sonuçların en güçlü belirteçlerinin kırığın tipi ve yara komplikasyonları olduğu tespit edildi. 













Sonuç: Volar kilitli plaklar dengesiz distal radius kırıklarının tedavisinde kabul edilebilir komplikasyon oranı ile tedavide tercih edilebilir. Yara yeri komplikasyonlarından kaçınmak için her türlü özen gösterilmelidir.

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes and complications after an unstable distal radius fracture that was treated with a volar locked plate in adults and to find out the predictive factors of poor outcomes. 

Patients and Method: 91 patients (55 male / 36 female) that were operated for distal radius fractures with a volar locked plate between May 2006 and August 2016 were included in this retrospective study. All fractures were classified by AO classification system. Mayo Wrist score and Quick DASH-T measure were used to quantify the functional and Steawart scores for radiological outcomes. Varying factors were evaluated for predicting the poor radiological and functional outcomes. 

Results: Mean age of the patients was 46.9 years (23-72 min-max) and mean follow-up was 29.6 months (12-39 min-max) in this study. Mean union time was 7.3 weeks (6-11 min-max) for all patients. Mean Quick DASH-T score was 7.1 (0-65.9) and mean Mayo Wrist score was 85.8 (55-100) at the follow-up. There were 10 patients with various complications as; 8 patients had wound infections and 2 patients had hypertrophic scars. The strongest predictive factors of poor outcomes were the type of fracture and wound complications. 













Conclusion: Volar locked plates are useful for treatment of displaced unstable distal radius fractures with acceptable complication rate and any attempt should be considered to avoid wound complications.
