锁定接骨板治疗老年肱骨近端骨折

目的探讨肱骨近端锁定接骨板内固定治疗老年肱骨近端骨折的疗效。方法2002年1月～2004年1月对35例老年肱骨近端骨折予以锁定接骨板内固定治疗,术后早期功能锻炼。结果术后所有患者平均随访13.2个月,骨折愈合时间平均8.3周(7～12周),1例肱骨头缺血性坏死。按Constant评分标准,平均81.4分(39～95分),其中优22例,良8例,中4例,差1例,优良率85.7%。结论肱骨近端锁定接骨板对于骨质疏松的老年肱骨近端骨折是一种安全有效的治疗方法。

Internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients with a locking proximal humerus plate

Objective To discuss the results of treatment of proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients with a locking proximal humerus plate. Methods 35 aged patients with proximal humeral fracture were treated with a locking proximal humerus plate from January 2001 to January 2004. Early rehabilitation after operation was performed. Results 35 cases were followed up for 13.2 months on the average. The mean time for bony union was 8.3 (7 to 12) weeks. 1 patient developed an avascular necrosis of the humeral head. According to the Constant Score, the average for all fractures was 81.4 (39 to 95). The excellent and good rate was 85.7%. Conclusion The locking proximal humeral plate proves to be safe and can be recommended for the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elderly osteoporotic patients.
