Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of anatomic reduction of bony mallet finger using modified-intrafocal pinning technique. Methods: From March 2014 to October 2017, 18 patients with bony mallet finger were treated with modified-intrafocal pinning technique. Kirschner-wire was used to directly reduction the bony fragment, and extension block pinning and distal interphalangeal joint fixation were additionally performed to minimize the loss of reduction. Postoperative pain, range of motion, and radiological evaluation were performed. Duration of bone healing, functional recovery and complication rate were evaluated and Crawford's criteria was used to determine functional outcome after surgery. Results: Bone union was achieved in all cases after a postoperative mean of 6 weeks (5-7 weeks). An average of $2.8^{\circ}$ ($0^{\circ}-10^{\circ}$) extension loss occurred in all patients. All patients showed satisfactory joint congruency and reformation of the joint surface, the mean flexion angle of the distal interphalangeal joint at the final follow-up was $72.2^{\circ}$ ($70^{\circ}-75^{\circ}$). According to Crawford's classification, 12 patients (66.7%) were excellent and 6 patients (33.3%) were good. Conclusion: Modified-intrafocal pinning technique is a method of obtaining anatomical bone healing by directly reduction and fixation of the bony fragment. Combined with other conventional percutaneous pinning procedures, it is expected that good results can be obtained if applied to appropriate indications.

목적: 변형-내초점 핀 고정술을 통한 골성 망치 수지의 해부학적인 직접 정복에 대한 임상적 결과를 알아보고자 한다. 방법: 2014년 3월부터 2017년 10월까지 18명의 골성 망치 수지 환자를 대상으로 K-강선을 이용하여 골편을 직접 정복하는 방법인 변형-내초점 핀 고정술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 통증, 관절 운동 범위, 방사선적인 평가를 시행하였다. 또한 골유합 시기, 기능 회복 정도, 합병증 발생률을 평가하였고, 수술 후 기능적 예후를 판정하기 위해 Crawford의 평가 기준을 이용하였다. 결과: 평균 6주(5-7주)에 방사선적 골유합을 얻었다. 전체 환자에서 평균 $2.8^{\circ}$ ($0^{\circ}-10^{\circ}$)의 신전 소실(extension loss)이 발생하였다. 모든 환자에서 관절면의 일치와 만족스러운 관절면의 재형성이 관찰되었으며, 최종 외래 추시에서 원위지간 관절의 평균 굴곡각은 $72.2^{\circ}$ ($70^{\circ}-75^{\circ}$)였다. Crawford의 평가 기준으로 아주 만족이 12명(66.7%), 만족이 6명(33.3%)이었다. 결론: 변형-내초점 핀 고정술은 골편을 직접 정복 후 고정하여 해부학적 정복을 얻는 방법으로 기존의 다른 경피적 핀 고정술들과 결합하여 적절한 적응증에 적용한다면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
