肩胛盂骨折的手术治疗

目的探讨肩胛盂骨折的分型、手术治疗指征和方法。方法对8例肩胛盂骨折手术治疗患者临床资料进行分析,根据改良Idebery肩胛盂骨折分型:Ⅰ型3例,Ⅱ型1例,Ⅲ型2例,Ⅴ型2例。分别采用切开复位重建钢板和拉力螺钉固定。结果患者均获随访,时间6~41个月,平均14.2个月。根据美国肩肘协会评分标准进行肩关节功能评分,为55~100分,平均85.6分,优5例,良1例,可1例,差1例。结论肩胛骨盂缘骨折块移位≥1 cm、前缘骨折块≥25%、后缘骨折块≥33%,或盂窝骨折肩关节面不平整≥5 mm及盂肱关节不稳定均需手术治疗。对肩胛盂骨折采用改良Idebery分型,有利于指导临床手术治疗,且手术疗效满意。     

Optimal glenoid fixation requires cement!

The choice of cemented versus uncemented glenoid component fixation has generated controversy, but the evidence favors cement. Studies have shown survivorship of cemented all-polyethylene glenoid components of 95% at 10 years and still over 90% at 15 years. Virtually all glenoid with stiff metal backing, especially those that snap-fit to assemble, have had poor results even at early follow-up. Recent designs with either all-polyethylene cementless fixation or using a less-stiff, integrated tantalum backing have promising early results.
