This study reports on the clinical outcomes of double screw fixation with autologous cancellous bone grafting and early active range of motion for delayed and nonunited scaphoid waist fractures with cavitary segmental bone loss. Twenty-one consecutive patients underwent fixation using two 2.2 mm antegrade headless compression screws with autologous distal radius cancellous bone graft. Postoperatively, patients were allowed early active motion with a resting splint until union was achieved. Patients were reviewed radiologically and clinically to assess for fracture union, complications, residual pain, wrist function, and return to work and recreational activities. All but one patient was male, and the mean age was 23 years (range, 15-38 years). The average time from initial injury was 16 months (range, 3-144 months). Nineteen of 21 (90.5%) patients achieved union at a mean of 2.8 months (range, 1.4-9.2 months). Of the patients who failed, one underwent revision surgery with vascularized bone grafting at 10.6 months. The other patient refused further intervention as he was asymptomatic. Double-screw fixation with bone grafting and early active range of motion is a safe and effective technique for management of delayed and nonunited unstable scaphoid fractures with cavitary bone loss. This potentially allows for earlier return to function, without compromise to union rates. This is a Level IV, retrospective case series study.
本研究报告了采用自体松质骨移植双螺钉固定及早期主动活动范围治疗伴有空洞性节段性骨缺损的舟状骨腰部延迟愈合和不愈合骨折的临床结果。连续21例患者采用两枚2.2毫米顺行无头加压螺钉并取自体桡骨远端松质骨移植进行固定。术后,患者佩戴休息位支具进行早期主动活动,直至骨折愈合。对患者进行影像学和临床检查,以评估骨折愈合情况、并发症、残留疼痛、腕关节功能以及恢复工作和娱乐活动的情况。除1例患者外,其余均为男性,平均年龄23岁(范围15 - 38岁)。从最初受伤到手术的平均时间为16个月(范围3 - 144个月)。21例患者中有19例(90.5%)平均在2.8个月(范围1.4 - 9.2个月)时实现骨折愈合。未愈合的患者中,1例在10.6个月时接受了带血管蒂骨移植翻修手术。另1例患者因无症状拒绝进一步干预。采用骨移植双螺钉固定及早期主动活动范围是治疗伴有空洞性骨缺损的延迟和不愈合不稳定舟状骨骨折的一种安全有效的技术。这有可能使患者更早恢复功能,且不影响骨折愈合率。这是一项IV级回顾性病例系列研究。
