胫骨内侧高位楔形截骨治疗膝关节骨性关节炎

目的　探讨胫骨内侧高位楔形截骨治疗伴有膝内翻畸形的膝关节骨性关节炎的疗效。方法　对 1996年 7月～ 1999年 9月 ,采用胫骨内侧高位楔形截骨结合髂骨植骨钢板内固定术治疗 19例 (2 6膝 )膝关节骨性关节炎伴膝内翻畸形 ,病程 1～ 2 4年 ,平均 6 .3年 ,按 Ahlback分类 度 10膝 , 度 9膝 , 度 6膝 , 度 1膝。患者术前、术后 8周和术后 2年进行患肢全长 X线片检查 ,测量胫股角、胫骨角、股骨角、胫股关节面切线夹角及胫股内侧关节间距大小。按膝关节功能评定标准 ,评定术后膝关节功能恢复情况。　结果　 19例 (2 6膝 )术后获随访 2 4～ 4 5个月 ;术后 2年随访膝关节功能自 (4 8.6± 16 .6 )分增至 (81.7± 14 .8)分 ,胫股内侧关节间距自 (2 .2± 1.6 ) mm增至 (4 .9± 1.5 ) mm,胫股关节面切线夹角自 7.4°± 3.1°减少至 1.7°± 3.1°。植骨愈合满意 ,无膝内翻复发。术中出现关节内骨折 1例 ;皮肤感染 2例。结论　胫骨内侧高位楔形截骨结合植骨钢板内固定 ,可作为治疗伴有膝内翻畸形的膝关节骨性关节炎的有效方法之一。

MEDIAL WEDGED PROXIMAL TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY FOR TREATING OSTEOARTHRITIS OF KNEE

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of medial wedged proximal tibial osteotomy for treating knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity. METHODS: From July 1996 to September 1999, 19 patients with knee osteoarthritis accompanied by varus deformity were treated by medial wedged proximal tibial osteotomy combined with internal fixation. Full-length anterior-posterior radiographs were taken preoperatively, 8 weeks and 2 years postoperatively. The parameters including the femorotibial angle, the tibial angle, the femoral angle, the femoral condyle-tibial plateau angle, and the medial joint space, were measured from these radiographs. The function of knee was evaluated according to the 100-point rating scale standard of knee. RESULTS: The mean postoperative score had been significantly improved from 48.6 +/- 16.6 points to 81.7 +/- 14.8 points after 2 years of operation. The medial joint space had been increased from 2.2 +/- 1.6 mm to 4.9 +/- 1.5 mm and the femoral condyle-tibial angle had been decreased from 7.4 degrees +/- 3.1 degrees to 1.7 degrees +/- 3.1 degrees. There were complications in 3 cases: 2 cases of superficial wound infections and 1 case of intra-articular fracture. There were no delayed union and recurrence of varus deformity. CONCLUSION: Medial wedged proximal tibial osteotomy combined with internal fixation provides an efficacious approach to treat knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity.
