RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Our primary aim of the study was to assess the results of a treatment protocol for aseptic femoral shaft nonunion treated by three techniques - Exchange Nailing (EN), Plate Augmentation (PA), and Exchange Nailing combined with Plate augmentation (NP). The secondary objective was to assess the radiological outcome, duration of surgery (DOS) and need for blood transfusion (BT) in all the three groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed 330 patients treated for AFNU between Jan 2007 and Dec 2019. Using a simple treatment algorithm, EN, PA and NP were performed in 24,183 and 123 patients respectively. Patients in all the three groups were assessed for radiological-union (union rate and time to union), DOS and BT. RESULTS: Of these 330 patients, 327 (99 %) patients achieved radiological union at a mean duration of 6.07 months. Union rate is highest with NP followed by PA and EN. The union rate in patients with NP, PA and EN were 100 %, 99.5 % and 91.7 % respectively (p < 0.01). Time to union was lowest for NP followed by PA and EN (p < 0.001).The mean time to union for NP, PA and EN were 3.76, 7.2and 9.21 months respectively (p < 0.001). The mean DOS in minutes for NP, EN and PA was 107, 94 and 82 respectively (p < 0.01). The mean need for BT in the form of packed red blood cells for NP, PA and EN were 1.95, 1.87 and 1.38 units respectively (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Following a simple algorithm to decide treatment protocol on a case-to case basis helps to achieve good results in an optimal time period. When compared with EN and PA, NP is associated with 100 % union rate with least time to union making NP a reasonably effective procedure with a very high success rate. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Open excision remains the gold standard of treatment for posttraumatic heterotopic ossification (HO) of the elbow. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcome of early surgical excision done by adhering to a proposed surgical protocol with exclusive posttraumatic HO of the elbow. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted with 31 patients (25 males and 6 females) with a mean follow-up of 40.5 ± 27.44 months. Excision was done according to our surgical protocol based on the location of HO, associated fractures, stability, need for ulnar nerve transposition, previous operative scar. Improvement in elbow function, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) preoperatively and at final follow-up was compared, and statistical analysis was done. RESULTS: Mean flexion-extension arc, supination-pronation arc and MEPS improved by 74.68° ± 29.32°, 26.13° ± 32.93°, 30.48 ± 11.57, respectively. Flexion arc deteriorated by 10.81° ± 10.42° from intraoperative to final follow-up. Improvement at final follow-up was significant in all the cases (P < 0.05). 19 patients had limited HO, and 12 had global HO. Their mean flexion-extension arc increase was 77.63° ± 29.12° and 70° ± 30.3° respectively, and the final mean MEPS score was 96.05 ± 5.16 and 88.75 ± 11.51, respectively. Nine patients had no initial fracture (Group 1), 13 had some fracture (Group 2), nine had a fracture-dislocation of the elbow (Group 3). Their flexion-extension improvement, final MEPS were 88.33° ± 30.82°, 98.33 ± 5, (Group 1); 81.15° ± 16.73°, 92.31 ± 9.27 (Group 2) and 51.67° ± 31.32°, 89.44 ± 9.5 (Group 3), respectively. We had two complications (6.45%). CONCLUSION: The surgical protocol described here enabled us to achieve good functional results and was in concordance with similar studies done previously.
