Patients were immobilized in a cast for 5 wk and the nails were removed from 6 to 12 wk after surgery. Twenty-four cases were clinically and radiographically re-evaluated using the Flynn's scoring criteria, focusing on: Limb length discrepancy, rotational deformity, angulation, hip and knee range of motion(ROM), functional status, complications, and parent's satisfaction.RESULTS Sixteen males and eight females with a mean age of 3.2 years at the time of treatment were re-evaluated at an average follow-up of 58.9 mo. No cases of delayed union were observed. The mean limb lengthening was 0.3 cm. Four cases experienced limb lengthening greater than 1 cm and always minor than 2 cm. Twelve point five percent of the cases showed an angulation < 10°. Complete functional recovery(hip and knee ROM, ability to run and jump on the operated limb) occurred in 95.7% of cases. Complications included two cases of superficial infection of the TEN entry point, one case of refracture following a new trauma, and one TEN mobilization. According to the Flynn's scoring criteria, excellent results were obtained in 79.2% of patients and satisfactory results in the remaining 20.8%, with an average parent's satisfaction level of 9.1/10.CONCLUSION TEN is as a safe, mini-invasive and surgeon-friendly technique and, considering specific inclusion criteria, it represents a useful and efficacy option for the treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures even in patients younger than six years of age.展开更多
目的比较股骨远端90°锁定钢板与弹性髓内钉治疗学龄期儿童股骨下段不稳定型骨折的疗效。方法采用随机数字表法将75例学龄期股骨下段不稳定型骨折患儿分成观察组(采用股骨远端90°锁定钢板治疗,38例)与对照组(采用闭合或切开复...目的比较股骨远端90°锁定钢板与弹性髓内钉治疗学龄期儿童股骨下段不稳定型骨折的疗效。方法采用随机数字表法将75例学龄期股骨下段不稳定型骨折患儿分成观察组(采用股骨远端90°锁定钢板治疗,38例)与对照组(采用闭合或切开复位弹性髓内钉治疗,37例)。记录手术情况、骨折复位及愈合情况、术后再移位发生率。采用HSS评分评价膝关节功能。结果患儿均获得随访,时间6~24个月。术中出血量、术中透视次数观察组均少于对照组(P<0.05)。术后3 d X线片显示两组骨折均复位良好。两组骨折愈合时间2.5~5个月。末次随访时,HSS评分优良率观察组高于对照组(P<0.05)。术后再移位发生率观察组低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论与弹性髓内钉相比,股骨远端90°锁定钢板治疗学龄期儿童股骨下段不稳定型骨折,术中出血量、透视次数更少,术后骨折再移位率更低,疗效更好。展开更多
