肱骨干骨折的单侧多功能外固定支架治疗

Treatment of the Humeral Shaft Fracture with Unilateral Multifunctional External Fixation Frame

目的：探讨单侧多功能外固定支架治疗肱骨干骨折的临床疗效。方法：自1993年6月-1999年12月间临床应用单侧多功能外固定支架治疗肱骨干骨折116例，并经随访观察。结果：116例中有88例随访6个月-7年(平均随访3.8年)，骨折愈合平均时间为4.3个月，愈合率94.32%，患肢功能恢复满复。结论：单侧多功能外固定支架治疗肱骨干骨折符合生物学固定原则，既能减少骨折局部的创伤，保护血运，又能稳定固定骨折，可早期进行功能锻炼，特别是对软组织损伤严重的开放性骨折更具优越性。

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of unilateral multifunctional external fixation frame in treating the humeral shaft fracture. Methods: From June 1993 to December 1999,116 cases of humeral shaft fracture were applied with the unilateral multifunctional external fixation frames. Results: 88 of them had been followed up for 6 months to 7 years (3.8 years in average). The average course of fracture healing needed 4.3 months and the healing rate was 94.32%. The upper extremity function got satisfactory recovery. Conclusion: Treatment of humeral shaft fracture with unilateral multifunctional external fixation frame should be in conformity with the principle of biological fixation. This can not only reduce the injury of fracture region and protect its blood supply but also firmly fix the fractures so that the early functional exercise is possible. The method might have the great advantages to the open fracture with severely injured soft tissue.
