Abstract



Amaç:
Amacımız
komplet atipik femur kırığı nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi uygulanan hastaların karşı
femurlarını değerlendirerek inkomplet atipik femur kırığı varlığını araştırmak
ve inkomplet kırık saptanan hastalar ile inkomplet kırık gözlenmeyen hastaları
karşılaştırmaktır. 



Gereç
ve Yöntemler:
Kliniğimizde Ocak 2012 ile Aralık 2018
tarihleri arasında atipik femur kırığı nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi uygulanan
hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi ve 46 hastanın çalışmaya dahil edilme
kriterlerine uyduğu görüldü. Tüm hastaların yatışları sırasında karşı femurları
inkomplet atipik femur kırığı bakımından değerlendirilmişti. Hastalar karşı
femurda inkomplet atipik kırık varlığına göre iki gruba ayrıldı ve iki grubun
yaşları, cinsiyetleri, bifosfonat kullanım süreleri, vücut kitle indeks
değerleri, kalça ve lomber T skorları, serum parathormon, 25-OH Vitamin D ve
alkalen fosfataz düzeyleri karşılaştırıldı.



Bulgular:
Çalışmada
yer alan hastaların hepsi kadındı ve hastaların yaş ortalaması 72,9 ± 5,9 yıl
olarak bulundu. Hastaların ortalama bifosfonat kullanım süresi 7,9 ± 1,6 yıl
olduğu görüldü. 11 (%23,9) hastada karşı femurda inkomplet atipik kırık ile
karşılaşıldı. İki grubun yaşları, bifosfonat kullanım süreleri, vücut kitle
indeks değerleri, kalça ve lomber T skorları, serum parathormon, 25-OH Vitamin
D ve alkalen fosfataz değerleri arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı.



Sonuç: Atipik femur kırığı olan tüm hastaların karşı
femurlarının inkomplet kırık varlığı açısından değerlendirilmesi gerektiği
kanaatindeyiz. İnkomplet atipik femur kırıklarının erken fark edilmesinin ve
komplet kırığa dönüşme riskinin değerlendirerek uygun tedavinin
gerçekleştirilmesinin hastalarda oluşabilecek ciddi morbiditeyi engelleyeceğini
düşünüyoruz.

Abstract



Objective: Our aim was to investigate the presence of incomplete
atypical femur fractures in contralateral femurs of patients who underwent
surgical treatment for a complete atypical femur fracture and to compare
patients with incomplete fractures and patients without incomplete fractures.



Material and Methods: The patients who underwent surgical treatment for
atypical femur fracture in our clinic between January 2012 and December 2018
were evaluated retrospectively and it was observed that 46 patients fulfilled the
inclusion criteria. In all patients, the contralateral femurs were evaluated
for an incomplete atypical femur fracture during hospitalization. The patients
were divided into two groups according to the presence of incomplete atypical
fracture in the contralateral side and age, gender, bisphosphonate usage duration,
body mass index values, hip and lumbar T scores, serum parathormone, 25-OH
Vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase levels were compared.



Results: All patients were
women with a mean age 72.9 ± 5.9 years. The mean duration of bisphosphonates
was 7.9 ± 1.6 years. In 11 (23.9%) patients, incomplete atypical fracture was
detected in contralateral femur. Age, bisphosphonate usage duration, body mass
index values, hip and lumbar T scores, serum parathormone, 25-OH Vitamin D and
alkaline phosphatase levels were not significantly different between the two
groups.



Conclusion: We conclude that
contralateral femurs of all patients with atypical femur fractures should be
evaluated for the evidence of an incomplete fracture. We believe that early
detection and treatment with evaluating the risk for impending complete
fracture of incomplete atypical femur fractures would prevent the serious
morbidity of patients.
