股骨皮质骨开窗技术在髋关节翻修术中的应用

Cortical windowing of the femoral diaphysis for cement/plug removal in hip revision surgery

目的 探讨股骨前外侧皮质骨开窗技术在髋关节翻修术中取出股骨远端稳定固定骨水泥的价值.方法 2005年5月至2009年6月,共14例（14髋）因各种原因致髋关节置换术后失败患者接受全髋关节翻修手术.其中男性10例,女性4例,年龄54～75岁,平均66岁.翻修原因为股骨头置换术后髋臼磨损5例、全髋关节置换术后假体周围骨溶解并松动6例、骨水泥柄股骨近端骨溶解柄断裂1例、髋臼骨溶解假体松动翻修同时行股骨柄翻修1例,感染后二期翻修时远端骨水泥取出困难1例.14例（14髋）股骨柄均为骨水泥同定.术中按术前计划开窗部位、开窗范围于股骨皮质骨开一长方形骨窗.通过骨窗直视下彻底清除髓腔内稳定固定的骨水泥,修整股骨髓腔.植入翻修柄后将皮质骨开窗骨瓣原位回植,双股钢丝捆绑固定.术后定期随访拍摄x线片.观察皮质骨开窗骨瓣与周围骨愈合情况、骨瓣有无移位、股骨柄有无下沉以及有无捆绑钢丝断裂等.结果 10例患者术后获得随访,平均随访时间24.6个月.股骨皮质骨开窗长度2.5～6.0 cm,平均3.4 cm,宽度0.8～1.4 cm,平均1.2 cm.股骨开窗远端以远部分发生纵形劈裂骨折1例.无术中皮质骨穿孔及股骨干骨折.向远段扩大开窗1例,扩大长度1.5 cm.开窗部位皮质骨骨瓣原位回植选择2～3道双股钢丝固定,平均2.3道.随访期间2例发牛假体柄下沉（平均2.5 mm）,无皮质骨瓣移位以及捆绑钢丝断裂,术后3～5个月皮质骨瓣已于周围骨纤维愈合.随访期间无一例因各种原因致再次翻修.结论 股骨皮质骨开窗技术在髋关节翻修术中有助于直视下彻底取出股骨髓腔远端稳定固定的骨水泥,同时不会造成股骨骨丢失、不影响翻修柄植入后的稳定固定.

Objective To analyze the results of cortical windowing of the femoral diaphysis for well-fixed cement/plug removal during hip revision surgery. Methods From May 2005 to June 2009, 14 patients （14 hips） were undergone revision total hip arthroplasty （THA） , window was cut into the cortex of the femur, and the well-fixed cement/plug distal to the window was removed under the direct vision. After reimplanted the cementless revison stem, the cortical lids were replanted and fixed with 2 to 3 cerclage wires. Six patients who had suffered from osteoporosis were undergone morselized bone graft to the osteotomy site. Postoperatively, the patients were maintained at partial weight-bearing （touchdown） for 6 weeks and then advanced as they were able. Results The length of the cortical windows varied from 2. 5 to 6. 0 cm （mean, 3. 4 cm）, the width ranged from 0. 8 to 1. 4 cm （mean, 1. 2 cm）. In one patient the window was enlarged during the procedure to facilitate the cement/plug removal. The mean radiologically healing time for the windows was 19 weeks. There was no intraoperative femoral perforation during cement/plug removal. One femoral fracture during the revision stem was implanted. No postoperative periprosthetic fracture and other complications such as infection, implant subsidence occurred during the fellow-up. There was no femoral thigh pain or implant loosening with femoral window. Conclusion The cortical windowing technique is very helpful to facilitate the well-fixed cement/plug distal to the prosthesis tip removal and the windows heal rapidly and decrease the femoral complications associated with revision THA.
