초록

목적: 압박 긴장대 방법을 이용한 작은 구상 돌기 골절의 견고한 고정과 주관절의 조기 운동을 통한 기능의 향상 및 그 결과를 분석하고자 한다. 재료 및 방법: 주관절 내측접근법으로 K-강선과 철선을 이용하여 고정된 8예의 구상돌기 골절을 대상으로 하였다. 분류상 8예 모두 Regan-Morrey type 2였으며 O'Driscoll 분류12)로는 tip형(subtype 2)가 예, anteromedial 형 (subtype 2, 1예 그리고 subtype 3, 2예)3예였다. 동반 손상으로는 측부인대 파열이 6예, 요골두 및 경부골절이 4예였으며 모두 함께 치료하였다. 술 후 5~7일간의 고정 치료 후 경첩 보조기 (hinge brace)을 착용한 상태에서 술후 6주까지 능동적 운동을 허용하였다. 술 후 통증의 여부, 관절 운동 범위, Mayo elbow performance score(MEPS)을 이용한 기능적 평가 방법을 이용하여 치료 결과를 분석하였다. 평균 11 (6~28)개월 추시 하였으며 척골 신경 증상에 대해서도 함께 조사하였다. 결과: 모든 구상돌기 골절은 내고정용 도구의 실패 없이 모두 유합되었다. 평균 2.2 (2~4)개의 K-강선이 사용되었다. 관절운동 범위에 대해 신전은 평균 $3^{\circ}(0^{\circ}\sim25^{\circ})$, 굴곡는 평균 $137^{\circ}(130^{\circ}\sim140^{\circ})$, 회내전은 평균 $69^{\circ}(45^{\circ}\sim90^{\circ})$, 회외전은 $78^{\circ}(45^{\circ}\sim90^{\circ})$이였다. MEPS는 평균 96 (65~100) 이였다. 척골 신경 증상은 terrible triad 1예에서 첫 수술 (index operation)후 요골두를 절제하고 내측 측부 인대의 기능 부전이 있는 1예에서 관찰되었다. 결론: 쉽게 구할 수 있으며 가격이 저렴한 K-강선과 철선을 이용한 압박 긴장대 방법은 충분히 견고하여 조기에 능동적 운동을 허용할 수 있어 주관절의 기능 향상을 가져올 수 있었다. 이 방법은 특히 다발성 소형 구상 돌기 골절의 경우 유용한 하나의 고정 방법으로 생각된다.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the surgical results of early mobilization after rigid fixation of small coronoid fracture using the tension band technique Materials and Methods: Eight cases of coronoid fracture were fixed with the tension band technique and using K-wire and wire through the medial approach. All the cases were Regan-Morrey type 2. According to O'Driscoll, they were classified as 5 cases of the tip type (subtype 2) and 3 cases of the anteromedial type (1 case of subtype 2, and 2 case of subtype 3). The associated collateral ligament injuries (6 cases) and radial head/neck fractures (4 cases) were managed simultaneously. After immobilization for 5~7 days, active ROM exercise with a fitted hinge brace started and continued till postoperative 6 weeks. The patients were assessed for pain, ROM and functional disability using the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) at an average of 11 months (range: 6~28 months). The ulnar nerve symptoms were also investigated. Results: We observed solid union in all the coronoid fractures without hardware failure. An average of 2.2 wires (range: 2~4) were used. The mean extension was $3^{\circ}$(range: $0^{\circ}\sim25^{\circ}$), the mean flexion was $137^{\circ}$(range: $130^{\circ}\sim140^{\circ}$), the mean pronation was $69^{\circ}$(range: $45^{\circ}\sim90^{\circ}$) and the mean supination was $78^{\circ}$(range: $45^{\circ}\sim90^{\circ}$). The mean MEPS was 96 (range: 65~100). Ulnar nerve symptoms occurred at postoperative one day and persisted in one patient with the terrible triad of taking radial head excision and residual medial instability. Conclusion: The tension band technique uses easily obtained, economic K-wires and the wire was strong enough to permit early elbow ROM exercise and the technique might improve the elbow function. It was especially useful for fixation of multiple small fragments.
