Abstract

Purpose: To describe the recent clinical results and complications of total elbow arthroplasty based on the literature review. Materials and Methods: The indications of total elbow arthroplasty include rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, anklylosed elbow, tumor resection which cannot recover elbow function by other reconstructive procedures, and comminuted distal humerus fracture in elderly patients. Complications are aspetic loosening, infection, prosthesis fracture, periprosthetic fracture, ulnar neuropathy, ectopic ossification, triceps insufficiency, dislocation, and bushing wear. Results and Conclusion: Mean 10 year survival rate following total elbow arthroplasty has been reported 85% on the basis of revision. The prognosis in patients with an inflammatory arthritis is reported to be best, and loosening rate in patients with a posttraumatic arthritis tends to be high. Complication rate is known to be higher than that of other joint arthroplasty. In particular, deep infection occurs in 3~5% of the patients. Total elbow arthroplasty provide satisfactory results when it is performed properly in selected patients who have an elbow joint with irreversible dysfunction and low level activities.

목적: 주관절 전지환 성형술의 최근 수술 결과와 합병증에 대하여 문헌을 토대로 기술하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 주관절 전치환술의 적응증은 다른 수술 방법으로 관절 기능의 회복이 불가능한 류마토이드 관절염, 외상후 관절염, 관절 강직, 종양 제거 후 상태, 그리고 고령의 원위 상완골 분쇄 골절 등이 있다. 합병증으로는 가장 심각한 합병증인 감염을 비롯하여 삽입물 이완, 삽입물 골절, 삽입물 주위 골절, 척골 신경병증, 이소성 골화, 상완 삼두근 손상, 탈구를 포함한 불안정, bushing의 마모 등이 있다. 결과 및 결론: 재치환술을 기준으로 한 주관절 치환술의 수명은 10년을 기준으로 85% 정도인 것으로 알려져 있다. 염증성 관절염이 가장 예후가 좋으며 외상후 관절염의 이완율이 비교적 높다. 합병증은 다른 관절의 치환술에 비해 많이 발생하는 경향이 있으며 특히 심부 감염은 3~5% 정도로 높은 편이다. 주관절 치환술은 재건술로 관절 기능을 회복할 가능성이 없는 활동력이 높지 않은 환자에 대해 신중하고 적절하게 시행한다면 만족스러운 기능 회복을 기대할 수 있다.
