The aim of the study was to look at the long-term effects of conservative management of odontoid peg fractures.
We reviewed 48 consecutive patients with type II (32) and 16 type III, odontoid peg fractures. The clinical & radiological outcomes were assessed over an average period of follow up of 8 years. Union rate was determined and we discussed several factors that may affect it. Patients were treated conservatively with an average period of bed rest of 4 weeks followed by bracing for an average of 9 weeks.
Bony union was established in 25 of 32 (78%) type II fractures. Of 7 cases of no bony union 4 were stable probably with fibrous union. 3 remained unstable. In 13 of 16(83%) type III fractures bony union was established. 2 of the 3 with no bony union were considered stable.
Osseous non-union was higher in patients with displacement of >5 mm, but there is no correlation between union and age, gender or angulation of the fracture in both types.
本研究旨在探讨齿突骨折保守治疗的长期效果。
我们回顾性分析了48例连续的II型(32例)和III型(16例)齿突骨折患者。平均随访8年,评估临床及影像学结果。确定骨折愈合率,并讨论了可能影响愈合的几个因素。患者接受保守治疗,平均卧床休息4周,随后平均佩戴支具9周。
32例II型骨折中有25例(78%)实现了骨愈合。7例未骨愈合的病例中,4例可能为纤维愈合,情况稳定,3例仍不稳定。16例III型骨折中有13例(83%)实现了骨愈合。3例未骨愈合的病例中有2例被认为情况稳定。
移位>5mm的患者骨不连发生率较高,但两种类型骨折的愈合与年龄、性别或骨折成角均无相关性。
