  • COMPARATIVE STUDY ON CLOSED REDUCTION WITH ELASTIC INTRAMEDULLARY NAILING AND OPEN REDUCTION WITH Kirschner WIRE FIXATIONS IN TREATMENT OF RADIAL NECK FRACTURES IN CHILDREN

    Objective To analyze and compare the effectiveness of the closed reduction with elastic intramedullary nail ing and open reduction with Kirschner wire fixations in the treatment of O’Brien type III radial neck fractures in children. Methods Between November 2007 and November 2010, 31 children with O’Brien type III radial neck fractures were treated by the closed reduction with elastic intramedullary nailing fixation (closed reduction group, n=18) and by the open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation (open reduction group, n=13). There was no significant difference in age, gender, disease duration, and fracture classification between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The incisions of 2 groups healed primarily. Allthe patients were followed up 1-2 years (mean, 1.5 years). Limitation of the elbow extension occurred in 2 cases of the closed reduction group, l imitations of the elbow extension, flexion, and forearm pronation in 6 cases of the open reduction group. There was no significant difference in elbow flexion, extension, pronation, and supination between affected side and normal side in the closed reduction group (P gt; 0.05). Except in supination (P gt; 0.05), there were significant differences in flexion, extension, and pronation between affected side and normal side in the open reduction group (P lt; 0.05). According to Metaizeau’s grading criterion, excellent results were achieved in 16 cases and good in 2 cases in the closed reduction group; excellent results were achieved in 4 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 3 cases, and poor in 2 case in the open reduction group; and there was significant difference between 2 groups (Z=3.435, P=0.001). The X-ray films showed anatomical reduction in 2 groups before removal of internal fixation; redisplacement occurred in 4 cases after removal of internal fixation in the open reduction group, no redisplacement occurred in the closed reduction group. There was no avascular necrosis of radial head and epi physes during follow-up. Conclusion Comparison with the open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation, the closed reduction with elastic intramedullary nailing fixation is a rel iable and good treatment for O’Brien type III radial neck fractures in children, because it has the advantages of minimal invasion, easy operation, stable fixation, early mobilization, and less complication.

  • TREATMENT OF PATELLAR FRACTURE WITH INTERNAL FIXATION COMBINED CLOSED REDUCTION WITH ARTHROSCOPE AID

    Objective To explore the surgical method and cl inical short-term outcomes of internal fixation combined closed reduction with arthroscope aid in treating patellar fracture. Methods From June 2004 to July 2008, 42 patients with fresh simple patellar fracture underwent internal fixation combined closed reduction with arthroscope aid, included28 males and 14 females, aged 16-59 years (35 years on average). The locations were 19 left knees and 23 right knees. Injury was by traffic accident in 21 cases, by fall ing in 11 cases, by sports in 7 cases and by crush in 3 cases. All the patients had fresh closed fracture, including 38 cases of transverse fracture and 4 cases of stellate fracture. The Lysholm score was 68.60 ± 15.20; the proprioceptive function of the knee joints was (3.72 ± 0.12)°. The time from injury to operation was 3-42 hours (12 hours on average). After the treatment of affil iated injury under the arthroscope, patellar fracture was reduced with manipulation method, fracture was fixed with tensile force screw or modified tension band. Results All incisions obtained heal ing by first intention after operation, 42 patients were followed up for 12-39 months (16 months on average). The X-ray films showed callus at the fracture and the smooth cartilage surface 6-9 weeks (7 weeks on average) after operation. The flexed motion range of knee joint at last follow-up was at normal range in 38 cases, was l imited in 4 cases. Circumference of suffered l imbs 15 cm above the patella was the same as normal ones in 23 cases, atrophied 0.7 cm in 19 cases. There were no breakage of internal fixation and shift of fracture and patellofemoral arthritis at last follow-up. The proprioceptive function of the knee joints was (2.06 ± 0.11)° and the Lysholm score was 95.10 ± 3.92; all showing statistically significant differences when compared with preoperation (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion This treatment method has advantages as follows: mini-wound, early exercises and few compl ications, which can rinse articular cavity and repair the affil iated injury at the same time.
