ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction To compare two different intraoperative fluoroscopy techniques used for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) in pediatric patients with supracondylar humerus fractures (SHF). Materials and Methods Thirty-six patients who underwent SHF surgery from May 2011 to June 2019 were included in the study. During surgery, the classical fluoroscopy method (CFM) was used in 21 patients and the new fluoroscopy method (NFM) was used in the remaining 15 patients. Results The mean age was 5.14±1.13 years in the NFM group and 5.38±1.36 years in the CFM group. Mean operative time was 38.14±5.92 minutes in the CFM group and 21.54±3.48 minutes in the NFM group (p=0.001), while mean fluoroscopy times were 25.65±3.91 seconds and 39.84±7.50 seconds in the NFM and CFM groups, respectively (p=0.001). The NFM and CFM groups demonstrated similar functional capacity as measured by the Mayo Elbow Score (p=0.168). Direct radiographs obtained to measure Baumann's angle also showed that the two groups had similar results (p=0.848). Conclusions The NFM is a reliable and successful technique as it leads to shorter operative and fluoroscopy times, as well as providing improvement in functional scores and radiological outcomes in short-term follow-up. Level of Evidence III, Therapeutic Studies-Investigating the Results Level of Treatment.
RESUMO
RESUMO Introdução Visamos comparar duas técnicas de fluoroscopia intraoperatória usadas para redução fechada e fixação percutânea com pino (CRPP) em pacientes pediátricos com fratura supracondilar do úmero (SHF). Materiais e Métodos Trinta e seis pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de SHF de maio de 2011 a junho de 2019 foram incluídos no estudo. Durante a cirurgia, o método clássico de fluoroscopia (CFM) foi usado em 21 pacientes e o novo método de fluoroscopia (NFM) foi usado nos 15 pacientes restantes. Resultados A média de idade foi de 5,14 ± 1,13 anos no grupo NFM e 5,38 ± 1,36 anos no grupo CFM. O tempo operatório médio foi de 38,14 ± 5,92 minutos no grupo CFM e 21,54 ± 3,48 minutos no grupo NFM (p = 0,001), enquanto os tempos médios de fluoroscopia foram 25,65 ± 3,91 segundos e 39,84 ± 7,50 segundos nos grupos NFM e CFM, respectivamente (p = 0,001). Os grupos NFM e CFM demonstraram capacidade funcional semelhante medida pelo Mayo Elbow Score (p = 0,168). As radiografias diretas obtidas para medir o ângulo de Baumann também mostraram que os dois grupos tiveram resultados semelhantes (p = 0,848). Conclusões O NFM é uma técnica confiável e bem-sucedida, pois reduz o tempo operatório e de fluoroscopia, além de proporcionar melhora nos escores funcionais e resultados radiológicos no acompanhamento de curto prazo. Nível de Evidência III, Estudos terapêuticos - Investigação dos resultados do tratamento.
