Abstract
Uvod: Uloga ove studije je da pokaţe uticaj i značaj intramedularne stabilizacije u kombinaciji sa plasiranjem cirkularnog spoljnjeg fiksatora po Ilizarovu kod dece sa kongenitalnim ili stečenim skraćenjem donjih ekstremiteta. Materijal i metode: U studiju je uključeno ukupno 73 bolesnika, uzrasta od 4-18 godina sa inegalitetom donjih ekstremiteta. Poredili smo dužinu nošenja spoljnjeg fiksatora, indeks zarastanja (HI), indeks produženja (LI), dužinu inicijalnog bolničkog lečenja i komplikacije između dve grupe bolesnika. Prva grupa bolesnika, ukupno 39 bolesnika (Grupa I) je lečena cirkularnim spoljnim fiksatorom po Ilizarovu. Druga grupa bolesnika, ukupno 34 bolesnika (Grupa II) je lečena kombinacijom cirkularnog spoljnjeg fiksatora po Ilizarovu i intramedularnom stabilizacijom pomoću dve Kiršnerove ili titanijumske elastične igle. U statističkoj analizi korišćene su metode analitičke i deskriptivne statistike, a statistička značajnost je izražena kroz p<0.05. Rezultati: U rezultatima smo dobili da postoji statistički visoko značajna razlika u dužini nošenja cirkularnog spoljnjeg fiksatora (p<0.01), a statistički značajna razlika u vrednostima indeksa zarastanja (HI) i dužini inicijalnog bolničkog lečenja (p<0.05). Posmatrajući indeks produženja (LI) i komplikacije nije dobijena statistički značajna razlika između pomenute dve grupe ispitanika (p>0.05). Takođe, nije nađena statistički značajna razlika za pomenute parametre uzimajući u obzir etiologiju inegaliteta (kongenitalni ili stečeni inegalitet). Zaključak: Intramedularna stabilizacija ima značajne prednosti u lečenju inegaliteta donjih ekstremiteta kod dece. Najznačajnija njena prednost u kombinaciji sa plasiranjem cirkularnog spoljnjeg fiksatora po Ilizarovu je značajno kraće nošenje spoljnjeg fiksatora, kraći boravak u bolnici i brže zarastanje mesta distrakcije. Ova kombinovana metoda lečenja takođe značajno smanjuje i troškove bolničkog lečenja.
Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the intramedullary alignment with Kirschner (K) or Titanium Elastic (TE) wires combined with an Ilizarov external fixator on the healing index, lengthening index, duration of hospital treatment and complications in congenital and acquired leg discrepancy. Methods This study included 73 pediatric patients, aged 4-18 years. We compare the healing index (HI) and lengthening index (LI) between two groups of children. The first group of children undergoing limb lengthening by the Ilizarov external fixator alone (Group I). The other group (Group II) was treated with the combination of the Ilizarov external fixator and intramedullary stabilization using two K-wires or TE-wires. Also we compare duration of hospital treatment and complications between those two groups of patients. Results We found significant differences between Group I and Group II in the duration of external fixator application (p<0.01), HI (p<0.05) and duration of hospitalization (p<0.05). Concerning leg length inequality (LLI) and LI we found no significant differences between two groups of patients. Also, we found no significant differences in complication occurrence and etiology of LLI (congenital or acquired) between two groups of patients. Conclusion The intramedullary alignment has multiple advantages as a method of treatment of the limb discrepancy. The major effect of the application of the combination of external circular fixation and intramedullary alignment is significant decrease of external osteosynthesis duration and healing process. This method of the treatment decreases a hospital costs.
