Characteristics and perioperative management of hemophilia patients with fractures / 北京大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and perioperative management of hemophilia patients with fracture.Methods:Retrospectively, we analyzed 8 patients with hemophilia combined with fracture, who were admittted to our department from 2005 to 2013.Six patients were with hemophilia A and two with hemophilia B;Based on the severity of hemophilia, 2 cases were light, 3 moderate and 3 severe;Based on the location of fracture, 4 cases were femoral neck fractures, 1 femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 1 bilateral distal femur fractures, 1 tibiofibula fracture, and 1 humerus intercondylar fracture. Blood coagulation factor replacement therapy was conducted preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoper-atively, All the patients underwent closed or open reduction and internal fixation or joint replacement. Also, we analyzed the perioperative complications and observed whether the fracture healed.Results:The average age was 33.5 years (14 to 47 years); In 6 cases, fractures occurred at femur, accounting for 75%of all the fractures; Femoral neck fracture was treated by closed reduction and hollow screws fixation;Femoral intertrochanteric fracture, distal femur fracture, and tibiofibula fracture were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with plate;Humerus intercondylar fracture was treated by elbow joint replacement.Intraoperative bleeding was from 50 to 600 mL, an average of 262 mL;Perioperatively, the average use of FⅧ/activated prothrombin complex concentrates ( APCC) was 358 U/kg (125 to 554 U/kg) .Postoperatively, poor wound healing was observed in 2 patients, and the condition improved after symptomatic treatment; In patients with internal fixation, all the fractures united, and the average hea ling time was 14 weeks.No complications such as fixation loosening or rupture occurred after internal fixation.Conclusion:Hemophilia combined with fracture mainly occurred in the young, and the site of fracture was given priority to femur.With perfect preoperative preparation, on the basis of the replace-ment therapy, hemophilia combined with fractures was safe for surgical treatment, and postoperative frac-tures healing wasgood.But the risk of poor wound healing was high.
