A retrospective study of fractures of peritoneal catheters of ventriculoperitoneal shunts is described. Fracture of the peritoneal catheter accounts for 21.2% of shunt revisions. During the time period of January 1985 through July 1993, 401 PS Medical peritoneal catheters were installed and 23 fractures occurred. The fracture rate of PS Medical small-sized catheters is 15.3%. The fracture rate of PS Medical regular-sized catheters is 2.1%. The overall survival rates of the PS Medical small-sized and regular-sized catheters are significantly statistically different (p < 0.001). The peritoneal catheters fractured most frequently in the neck.
本文描述了一项关于脑室腹腔分流术腹膜导管骨折的回顾性研究。腹膜导管骨折占分流术翻修的21.2%。在1985年1月至1993年7月期间，共安装了401根PS Medical腹膜导管，其中23根发生骨折。PS Medical小型导管的骨折率为15.3%。PS Medical常规尺寸导管的骨折率为2.1%。PS Medical小型和常规尺寸导管的总体生存率在统计学上有显著差异（p<0.001）。腹膜导管在颈部最常发生骨折。
