Abstract

A painful pseudoarthrosis will develop due to a delay in diagnosis and treatment, and surgical care is required. Treatment of pseudoarthrosis is really difficult because the acromion is a thin flat bone that is difficult to be fixed firmly. A 52-year-old woman with multiple trauma had an acromial fracture that was not detected until it had caused pain after ambulation. Open reduction and internal fixation with a variable angle locking compression plate for distal radius and autogenous iliac bone graft were performed. At nine months after the operation, there was partial tear in the supraspinatus tendon, and arthroscopic repair of the supraspinatus tendon was performed. At nine months after the operation, radiographs showed a complete union. At three months after tendon repair, the patient had excellent function of the shoulder. We have reported a case of a successful treatment of nonunion and pseudoarthrosis of acromial fracture that is difficult to be fixed.

견봉 골절의 진단 및 치료 지연으로 발생한 통증을 동반한 가관절증은 수술적 치료를 요한다. 견봉은 두께가 얇은 편평골이므로 견고한 고정이 어렵기 때문에 견봉에서 발생한 가관절증의 치료는 매우 어렵다. 52세 다발성 외상환자에서 발생한 전위가 없는 견봉 골절을 보행 재활을 시작하며 통증이 유발될 때까지 발견하지 못하였다. 원위 요골용 가변각 잠김 금속판을 이용한 내고정술 및 자가 장골 이식술을 시행하였다. 술 후 9개월째 극상건 부분 파열이 있어, 관절경하 극상건 봉합술을 시행하였다. 술 후 9개월째 방사선 검사상 완전한 골유합을 얻었다. 극상건 봉합술 3개월 후 통증이 완화되었으며, 견관절 기능이 정상화되었다. 견고한 고정이 어려운 견봉 불유합 및 가관절증 증례에서 좋은 결과를 얻어 보고한다.
