经关节入路微创钢板固定技术治疗股骨远端C型骨折

目的探讨经关节入路微创钢板固定(MIPPO)技术治疗股骨远端C型骨折的临床疗效。方法2002年4月～2005年2月,应用MIPPO技术治疗股骨远端C型骨折14例,按AO/ASIF分类：C1型3例,C2型6例,C3型5例。先行关节内骨折切开复位、松质骨螺钉固定,再行髁上部分骨折间接复位、经关节内切口插入髁支撑钢板或LISS钢板桥接固定骨折。结果12例患者获得10～32个月(平均18．4个月)随访,骨折均获愈合,愈合时间10周～12个月,平均4．6个月。按Kolmert和Wulff的评价标准：优4例,良5例,可2例,差1例,优良率为75%。结论应用MIPPO技术治疗股骨远端C型骨折实现了微创操作,具有创伤小、软组织干扰少、骨折愈合快等优点,疗效满意。

Minimally invasive transarticular plate osteosynthesis for type C fractures of distal femur

Objective To report the clinical results of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in treatment of type C fractures of distal femur.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to an- alyze 14 consecutive cases of distal femoral fractures who had been treated with MIPPO in our department from April 2002 to February 2005.According to AO/ASIF classification,there were three cases of type C1,six cases of type C2,and five cases of type C3.At first,the fractures of articular surface were directly reduced and fixed with spongy screws.Next,the condylar fractures were indirectly reduced and fixed with buttress or LISS (less invasive stabi- lization system) plates through transarticular approach.Results Follow-ups,ranging from 10 to 32 months for 12 cases,revealed that they all reached union.The time for their bony union was 10 weeks to 12 months (mean,4.6 months).Their functional recovery was evaluated according to criteria by Kolmert and Wulff.Four cases were rated as excellent,five as good,two as fair and one as poor.The total satisfactory rate was 75%.Conclusion MIPPO is a safe and effective procedure for the type C fractures of the distal femur with the benefits of limited invasion to soft tissues and a high rate of bone union.
