肱骨近端锁定钢板与传统AO钢板治疗老年肱骨近端骨折的比较

目的比较肱骨近端锁定钢板与传统AO钢板治疗老年肱骨近端骨折的疗效。方法2002年7月-2005年5月间收治37例老年肱骨近端骨折患者,采用肱骨近端锁定钢板(LPPH)治疗18例,年龄65-82岁(平均69岁),Neer分型三部分骨折12例,四部分骨折6例;采用传统AO钢板治疗19例,年龄65-84岁(平均71岁),Neer分型三部分骨折12例,四部分骨折7例。术后肩关节功能评估采用肩关节疼痛和功能障碍指数(SPADI)量表评分,对两组疗效进行比较。结果术后6周、12周、1年随访肩关节功能、骨折愈合及肱骨头坏死情况,发现LPPH治疗组的钢板螺丝钉松动发生率、术后肩关节评分均优于传统AO钢板治疗组。结论LPPH治疗老年骨质疏松患者的肱骨近端骨折相比传统AO钢板有明显的优势。

Comparison of locking plate of proximal humerus and traditional AO plates in treatment of proximal humerus fractures in aged osteoporotic population

Objective To retrospectively compare the clinical results of locking plate of proximal humerus (LPPH) and traditional AO plates in treatment of proximal humerus fractures in aged osteoporotic population. Methods From July 2002 to May 2005, 37 old osteoporotic patients with humerus fractures were treated with LPPH and traditional AO plates respectively in our department. The results were compared retrospectively. Results Follow-ups were conducted six weeks, 12 weeks and one year postoperatively to assess shoulder scores, bone healing and necrosis of humerus head. Comparison showed that the results for LPPH group were statistically better than those for traditional AO plate group in rate of implant loosening and SPADI (shoulder pain and disability index) scores. Conclusion LPPH has an obvious advantage over traditional AO plate in treatment of proximal humerus fractures in aged osteoporotic people.
