尺骨茎突骨折手术与非手术治疗的疗效比较研究

目的 比较尺骨茎突骨折手术治疗与非手术治疗的疗效.方法 尺骨茎突骨折手术治疗组62例(64处),采用克氏针结合钢丝法,术后随访2～18个月,平均8个月;非手术治疗组70例(72处),随访1.5～24个月,平均10个月.采用AO组织的Gartland-Wertey评分方法,根据尺骨茎突骨折愈合情况,对两组病例疗效进行比较.结果 尺骨茎突骨折手术治疗组:优57例,良2例,中2例,差1例,优良率为95.2%;X线片显示术后3个月骨折均达到骨性愈合.尺骨茎突骨折非手术治疗组:优10例,良15例,中18例,差27例,优良率为35.7%;X线片显示伤后1.5个月9例骨折达到骨性愈合,伤后6个月32例骨折畸形愈合,伤后12个月29例尺骨茎突骨折不愈合.两组差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 尺骨茎突骨折手术治疗在腕关节功能恢复优良率及骨折愈合方面均明显优于非手术治疗.

Abstract：

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of surgical and non-surgical treatment of ulnar styloid fractures. Methods There were 62 patients (64 sides) that were treated with Kirschner wire and tension band fixation in the surgical group. They were follow-up postoperatively for 2 to 18 months, with an average of 8 months. Seventy patients (72 sides) were non-surgically treated and follow-up for 1.5 to 24 months with an average of 10 months. Gartland and Werley scoring system of the AO Foundation was applied to evaluate the results. Fracture healing was evaluated by X-ray films. Comparison was made between the surgical and nonsurgical groups. Results Results in the surgical group were graded as excellent in 57 cases, good in 2 cases,fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 case. The overall satisfactory rate was 95.2%. X-rays showed that bone union was obtained in all the patients three months after the surgery. Results in the non-surgical group were graded as excellent in 10 cases, good in 15 cases, fair in 18 cases and poor in 27 cases. The overall satisfactory rate was 35.7%. X-rays showed bone union in only 9 cases 1.5 months after the injury, fracture malunion in 32 cases 6 months after the injury, and nonunion in 29 cases even 12 months after the injury. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant. Conclusion From the aspects of wrist function and fracture healing,surgical treatment of ulnar styloid fractures is superior to non-surgical treatment.
