Abstract

Purpose: The current study reports the clinical results of total elbow arthroplasties (TEA) which were Performed on patients with poor clinical and radiological results after initial surgeries for elbow fractures or dislocations. Materials and Methods: The clinical outcomes of twelve consecutive patients who underwent TEA after failed surgeries for elbow fractures or dislocations from january, 1995 to December, 2005 were evaluated. The initial diagnoses were distal humeral fractures in 8 cases and fracture-dislocations in 4 cases. The Mean period from the initial operations to the TEAs was 12 months. The mean folloow up period after TEA was 43 months. Results: The mean range of motion, in terms of active extension, activeflexion, supination, and pronation, improved from $14.2^{\circ}$, $96.7^{\circ}$, $50.8^{\circ}$ and $53.3^{\circ}$ to $5.4^{\circ}$, $122.1^{\circ}$, $63.3^{\circ}$ and $67.5^{\circ}$, respectively (p<0.05). RAdiolucent lines were found in 3 cases, which were 1 case of type 3, and 2 cases of type 4. All three loosening cases underwent revision TEAs. The mean postoperative Mayo elvow performance score was 79 point. There were 6 cases of excellent, 2 cases of good, and 4 cases in poor. Conclusion: Good clinical results were obtained after TEA performed in failed surgeries for elbow fractures of dislocations.

목적: 주관절 골절이나 탈구로 인해 일차적으로 수술적 치료를 받은 후 불량한 임상적, 방사선학적 결과를 보이는 환자를 대상으로 반구속형 인공 주관절 전 치환술을 시행하여 그 임상적 결과 및 효용성을 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 주관절 부위 골절 혹은 탈구로 수술적 치료를 시행한 환자 중 반구속형 인공 주관절 전 치환술을 시행한 12예를 대상으로 하였다. 처음 수상시 진단은 상완골 원위부 골절이 8예, 주관절부 골절 및 탈구가 4예였다. 첫 수술 후 평균 12개월 후에 반구속형 인공 주관절 전 치환술을 시행하였고 추시 기간은 평균 43개월 이었다. 결과: 술후 환자의 평균 능동적 관절 운동 범위는 술전과 비교하여 신전은 14.2도에서 5.4도로, 굴곡은 96.7도에서 122.1도로, 회외전은 50.8도에서 63.3도로, 회내전은 53.3도에서 67.5도로 향상되었다(p<0.05). 환자 중 3예에서는 상완골에서 방사선학적 투과선이 관찰되었으며 각각 제 3형 1예, 제 4형 2예가 있었다. 이들은 모두 재치환술을 시행하였다. 술후 Mayo 주관절 기능 평가 점수는 평균 79점이었다. 최우수는 6예, 우수 2예, 불량 4예였다. 결론: 주관절부 골절 및 탈구로 인한 손상에 대해 일차적인 수술적 치료 후 실패한 경우에 인공 주관절 전 치환술을 시도하여 양호한 임상 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
