We carried out this study to test the efficacy of the olecranon memory connector (OMC) in olecranon fractures.
We designed a prospective randomised controlled trial involving 40 cases of olecranon fractures. From May 2004 to December 2009, 40 patients with olecranon fractures were randomly assigned into two groups. Twenty patients were treated with OMC, while another 20 patients were fixed with locking plates in our hospital. The DASH score, MEP score, range of motion and radiographs were used to evaluate the postoperative elbow function and complications.
For MEP score, OMC was better than the locking plate; for DASH score, complication rate, and range of elbow motion, the two methods presented no significant difference.
The study showed that OMC could be an effective alternative to treat olecranon fractures.
本研究旨在测试鹰嘴记忆连接器(OMC)在鹰嘴骨折中的疗效。
我们设计了一项前瞻性随机对照试验,纳入 40 例鹰嘴骨折患者。2004 年 5 月至 2009 年 12 月,40 例鹰嘴骨折患者随机分为两组。20 例患者采用 OMC 治疗,另外 20 例患者在我院采用锁定钢板固定。采用 DASH 评分、MEP 评分、活动范围和 X 线片评估术后肘关节功能和并发症。
在 MEP 评分方面,OMC 优于锁定钢板;在 DASH 评分、并发症发生率和肘关节活动范围方面,两种方法无显著差异。
研究表明,OMC 可能是治疗鹰嘴骨折的有效替代方法。
