The primary outcome measure was radiographic and clinical union. RESULTS: The mean clinical follow up time was 20.6 mo. The mean union time was 6 mo. Two non-unions required revision procedures. The mean disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score taken after union was 36. The mean final grip strength was 27 kg. The mean final range of movement was 30° flexion and 31° of extension. All patients had a restored scapholunate angle on postoperative radiographs. There were no incidences of dorsal impingement.CONCLUSION: Overall our experience with the Aptus plating system shows comparable results to other methods of fixation for four corner fusion, in the short to medium term.展开更多

文摘目的:观察病灶清除植骨融合联合外固定架治疗腕关节结核的临床疗效。方法:2015年10月至2019年5月,采用病灶清除植骨融合联合外固定术治疗25例晚期腕关节结核患者,男14例,女11例;年龄40~74 (60.72±8.45)岁;病程5~24 (11.52±7.61)个月;左腕结核11例,右腕结核14例,合并窦道形成者5例。术后继续规律抗结核,观察患者治疗前后视觉模拟疼痛评分(vasual analogue scale,VAS)、炎症指标、Gartland-Werley腕关节功能评分、上肢功能评分(disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand,DASH)。结果:25例患者获得随访,时间12~36(19.7±6.3)个月,末次随访患者切口愈合可,均无结核、感染复发。术前1周与术后3个月VAS分别为(5.16±1.14)、(1.68±0.80)分,红细胞沉降率(enythrocyte sedimentation rate,ESR)分别为(44.20±20.56)、(14.44±1.14) mm·h^(-1),C反应蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)为(12.37±7.95)、(4.30±3.37) mg·L^(-1),各时间点比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。术前1周与术后1年Gartland-Werley腕关节功能评分分别为(21.32±3.44)、(14.96±1.37)分,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);DASH由术前1周的(70.52±7.95)分,提高至术后1年的(28.84±2.30)分(P<0.01)。末次随访所有患者结核病无复发。结论:采用病灶清除植骨融合联合外固定术治疗腕关节结核近期临床疗效满意。
