THE EARLY EFFECTS OF LONG BONE FRACTURES ON ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION; A PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL STUDY USING THE FLOW-MEDIATED DILATATION METHOD

Öz

OBJECTIVE: Vascular endothelial function can be affected by inflammatory processes.. Tissue damage in long bone fractures can cause a robust inflammatory response. We aimed to evaluate the effect of this inflammatory response caused by long bone fractures on endothelial functions in the early period.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We prospectively researched 44 patients aged 18-60 with long bone fractures and no other disease between 2018 and 2020. We evaluated vascular endothelial function using the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) method. Measurements obtained at the beginning of the acute fracture period and at the first month were recorded as FMD-0 and FMD-1, respectively.
RESULTS: The mean FMD-0 values were measured as 0.082±0.046 (range: 0.005-0.18). Mean FMD-1 values were measured as 0.118 ± 0.054 (range: 0.03-0.24). The mean FMD values of the patients were significantly higher in the first month (p=0.02). No significant relationship was found between other parameters such as age, gender, side, limb difference (upper, lower), and FMD results (p>0.05 for all values).
CONCLUSIONS: Severe inflammation caused by long bone fractures may lead to endothelial dysfunction in the acute period.. It should be kept in mind that endothelial dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic complications in the acute period after long bone fracture.
