Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of two surgical treatments, transacromial pin fixation and hook plate fixation, for unstable distal clavicle fractures. Materials and Methods: Twenty four patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fractures who underwent surgery with transacromial pin fixation (Group I: 12 patients) and hook plate fixation (Group II: 12 patients) were included. Reduction and union were evaluated using plain radiographs. Functional evaluation was performed according to UCLA score and Constant-Murley score at last follow-up. Results: All 24 cases showed bone union. Complete union took an average of 10 weeks for group I and 11.7 weeks for group II. Average UCLA score was 33 (group I) and 32.8 (group II). Average Constant score was 88.5 (group I) and 88.8 (group II). No significant difference for each variable was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: For the surgical treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures, transacromial pin fixation and hook plate fixation are both useful methods.

서론: 불안정성 쇄골 원위부 골절에 대하여 변형된 경견봉 강선 고정술과 갈고리형 금속판 고정술을 시행 후 결과를 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: Neer 분류 제 2형 골절에 대하여 경견봉 강선 고정술 혹은 갈고리형 금속판 고정술을 시행하고 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 24명을 대상으로 하였다. 경견봉 강선 고정술(group I)을 시행한 경우가 12명, 갈고리형 금속판 고정술(group II)을 시행한 경우가 12명이었다. 정복 및 골유합의 평가는 수술 직후 및 최종 방사선 사진을 이용하였고, 기능적 평가는 최종 추시 시의 UCLA score 및 Constant-Murley score를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과: 수술 뒤 group I은 평균 10주, group II는 평균 11.7주에 모든 예에서 골유합을 관찰할 수 있었다. 최종 추시 시의 평균 UCLA score는 group I은 33점, group II는 32.8점이었으며, 평균 Constant score는 group I은 88.5점, group II는 88.8점으로 두 기능적 평가 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: Neer 분류 제 2형 원위 쇄골 골절에서 경견봉 강선 고정술과 갈고리형 금속판 고정술은 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있어 모두 유용한 방법으로 생각된다.
