Abstract

Introduction: The treatment of proximal humeral fracture is traditionally determined by Neer's classification system. The severely displaced three-part or four-part fracture is an indication for primary hemiarthroplasty. The current authors report the clinical results of 10 patients who received hemiarthroplasty for proximal comminuted fractures. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months. Materials and Methods: The current authors studied 10 patients who, between July 1999 and March 2005, each received hemiarthroplasty for a proximal humeral fracture of one shoulder. According to Neer's classification system, 5 of the patients had three-part fractures, and 5 of the patients had 4-part fractures. The mean interval between trauma and hemiarthroplasty was 6.1 days. The mean age of the 6 female and 4 male patients was 67.4 years(range: 56 to 76). Shoulder function was evaluated using the Constant score, the Simple Shoulder Test, and the modified UCLA score. Results: The mean Constant score was 51.4(range: 34 to 60). The mean modified SST score was 7.8 out of 12 tasks. Excluding the one patient who had also sustained an axillary artery rupture and a brachial plexus injury after the initial trauma, the mean Constant score for the remaining 9 patients was 53.5(range: 44 to 60), and the mean SST score was 7.2 tasks. The modified UCLA score averages for pain, function, and active forward flexion and strength were, respectively, 8.2($6{\sim}10$), 6.6($2{\sim}8$), and 6.9($4{\sim}8$). The total UCLA score was an average of 21.7($12{\sim}26$). Patients' the modified UCLA ratings were as follows: Excellent: 3, Good: 6, and Poor: 1. The patient with the poor outcome was the one who had also sustained the neurovascular injury. Patient's subjective satisfaction rating were as follows: Excellent: 2, Good: 7, and Poor: 1. Conclusion: Based on short term follow-up results, this study indicates that hemiarthroplasty is the treatment of choice for proximal humeral fractures on which it would be difficult to perform open reduction and internal fixation. Hemiarthroplasty is a useful treatment modality to prevent shoulder stiffness and to allow daily living tasks in elderly patients. However, restoration of muscle power and range of joint motion were not recovered satisfactorily.

목적: 근위 상완골 골절의 치료 방법은 일반적으로 Neer 분류법에 의하고, 심하게 전위된 3분 골절 및 4분 골절의 경우 상완골두 치환술의 적응증이 된다. 저자들은 근위 상완골의 분쇄 골절로 인하여 상완골두 치환술을 시행 받고, 최소 1년 이상 추시 가능하였던 10례의 단기적 임상적 결과를 보고 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 저자들은 1999년 7월부터 2005년 3월까지 상완골 근위부 골절로 상완골 두 치환술을 시행 받은 환자 중 최소 1년 이상 추시 가능 하였던 10명(10 견관절)의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. Neer 분류법에 의하면 5명은 3분 골절이었고, 나머지 5명은 4분 골절이었으며 외상 후 수술까지 소요 시간은 평균 6.1일 이었다. 남자 4명, 여자 6명이었고, 평균 연령은 67.4세(최소 56세, 최고 76세)였다. 술 후 견관절 기능은 Constant score와 SST(Simple shoulder test) 및 UCLA 평가법(modified UCLA score for hemiarthroplasty)을 이용하여 평가하였다. 결과: 최종 방문 시 Constant 점수는 평균 51.4(최저 34점, 최고 60점)점이었고, 변형된 SST의 경우는 12개 문항 중 평균 7.8개 문항이 가능하다고 하였다. 수상 당시 액와동맥 파열 및 상완신경총 손상이 있었던 1예를 제외한 경우 Constant score는 평균 53.5(최저 44점, 최고 60점)점 이었고, SST의 경우는 12개 문항 중 평균 7.2($1{\sim}8$)개 문항이 가능하다고 하였다. 최종 추시 UCLA score는 동통, 기능성, 근력 및 운동 범위 항목 각각이 평균은 8.2($6{\sim}10$)점, 6.6($2{\sim}8$)점, 6.9($4{\sim}8$)점 이었고, 총점 21.7($12{\sim}26$)점 이었다. UCLA 평가법에 의한 결과는 우수 3예, 양호 6예, 불량 1예 이었고 불량의 경우는 혈관 및 신경 손상이 있었던 1예 이었다. 환자의 주관적 만족도는 10명의 환자 중 2명의 환자는 흡족, 7명의 환자는 양호한 결과라고 하였으나, 1명의 경우는 불만이었다. 결론: 단기 추시 결과이지만, 상완골 두 치환술은 관혈적 정복술이 어려운 상완골 근위부 골절에있어서 일차적 치료방법이라고 생각된다. 상완골 두 치환술은 고령의 환자에게 있어서 강직을 예방할 수 있고 일상적인 생활이 가능하도록 하는 수술 방법이나, 관절운동 범위 및 근력의 회복은 충분하지 않았다.
