Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study were to find ideal entry point of straight antegrade humeral intramedullary nail (SAHN) for the treatment of proximal humerus fracture in Korean and to analyze anatomical conformity using computed tomography. Materials and Methods: From May 2014 to October 2016, the study was conducted retrospectively on 74 Korean patients who had taken computed tomography on both normal and affected shoulder joint as result of shoulder injury. The mean age of the patients was 64.5 years (range, 22-95 years). Radiologic evaluation was done using multiplanar reconstruction technique of the computer tomography on normal proximal humerus. We located ideal entry point of SAHN as the point where humerus intramedullary center axis and humeral head meet. Distance between the entry point and local anatomical landmark was measured. We defined the critical distance as the distance between entry point and the most medial point of the supraspinatus attachment site. For adequate fixation and avoidance of injury to rotator cuff, critical distance should be over 8 mm according to Euler, and we defined the critical type when it is less than 8 mm. Critical distance, sex, age, height, body weight, body mass index was evaluated for the statistical significance. Results: The ideal entry point was as follows: the mean anteroposterior distance, the sagittal distance to the lateral margin of bicipital groove, was 11.5 mm and the mean mediolateral distance, the coronal distance to the lateral margin of grater tuberosity, was 20.5 mm. The mean critical distance, distance from the entry point to the just medial to insertion of the supraspinatus tendon, was 8.0 mm. Critical type with critical distance less than 8 mm was found in 41 in 74 patients (55.4%). Conclusion: The ideal entry point of SAHN in Korean was located on 11.5 mm posteriorly from the lateral margin of bicipital groove and 20.5 mm medially from lateral margin of greater tuberosity. More than half of the cases were critical type. Since critical type can possibly cause rotate cuff injury during nail insertion on entry point, surgeon should consider anatomical variance before choosing surgical option.

목적: 컴퓨터 단층 촬영 영상을 이용하여 한국인에서 상완골 근위부 골절 치료에 적용되는 직선형 전향적 상완골 골수 내 금속정의 이상적 삽입점 위치를 알아보고 해부학적 적합성을 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2014년 5월부터 2016년 10월까지 견관절 외상으로 컴퓨터 단층 촬영을 시행한 환자 중 건측 견관절을 동시에 촬영한 한국인 74예를 대상으로 하였으며, 평균 나이는 64.5세(범위, 22-95세)였다. 영상의학적 평가는 건측 근위 상완골의 컴퓨터 단층 촬영 영상을 이용하여 다면 재구성(multiplanar reconstruction) 기법을 이용하였다. 직선형 골수정의 이상적 삽입점은 상완골 골수강 내 중심축과 상완골두가 만나는 점으로 선정하였으며 삽입점과 국소 해부학적 위치와의 거리를 측정하였다. 삽입점에서 극상건 부착부의 가장 내측까지의 관상면상 거리를 임계거리(critical distance)로 정의하고 이를 이용하여 삽입점과 회전근개 부착부와의 근접성을 평가하였다. 회전근개의 손상을 피하고 충분한 고정력을 얻기 위한 임계거리는 Euler 등이 제시한 대로 8mm 이상 확보 되어야 하며, 8 mm 미만인 경우를 위험형(critical type)으로 정의하였다. 임계거리와 성별, 나이, 키, 몸무게, 신체용적지수(body mass index)와의 통계적 유의성을 확인하였다. 결과: 이 연구에서 이상적인 삽입점의 위치는 이두구 외측연에서 시상면상 거리인 전후 거리는 평균 11.5 mm (범위, 4.0-16.6), 대결절의 가장 외측연에서 관상면상 거리인 내외 거리는 평균 20.5 mm (범위, 16.3-27.4)였다. 이상적 삽입점에서 극상건 부착부의 가장 내측까지의 관상면상 거리인 임계거리는 평균 8.0 mm (범위, 4.1-16.6)이며, 임계거리가 8 mm 미만인 위험형(critical type)ㅏ이은 74예 중 41예(55.4%)였다. 결론: 한국인에서 직선형 전향적 상완골 골수 내 금속정의 사용시, 상완 이두구의 외측연에서 후방으로 11.5 mm, 대결절 외측연에서 내측으로 20.5 mm 지점이 평균적인 이상적 삽입점의 위치였다. 하지만 55.4%의 경우에서 이상적 삽입점의 위치로 삽입할 경우 회전근개의 손상을 줄 수 있는 위험형(critical type)이였으므로, 술 전 치료방법의 선택 과정에서 환자 개개인의 해부학적 특성을 충분히 고려하여야 한다.
