Abstract

Seven children with defect pseudarthroses were treated by Ilizarov method in our clinic between 1992-1997. The reasons of defects were osteomyelitis in 3 patients, congenital pseudarthroses of the tibia in 2 patients, tumor resection in one patients, and trauma in one patients. Defect pseudarthroses was localized in the tibia of 5 patients, in the femur of one, and both the femur and tibia in one patient. Preoperative evaluation was done by Paley criteria: 5 cases were B1, 2 cases were B3. Four cases had infection preoperatively. We used bifocal technique in 6 patients and trifocal technique in one patients. Median follow up which started after complet consolidation and extraction of fixator were 19.4 months (5-58). Radiologically 7 patients had excellent results and functionally 4 had excellent, 3 had good results according to Paley criteria. We believe that Ilizarov method is the best treatment alternative of infected or noninfected defect pseudarthroses in children.

Özet

Kliniğimizde 1992-1997 yılları arasında 7 defekt pseudoartrozlu (DPA) çocuk olgu llizarov yöntemi ile tedavi edildi. Defekt pseudoartrozlarının nedeni, 3 olguda osteomyelit, 2 olguda konjenital tibia pseudoartrozu, 7 olguda tümör reaksiyonu, 1 olguda ise travma idi. Patoloji 5 olguda tibiaya, l olguda femura, l olguda ise hem femur hem de tibiaya lokalize idi. Ameliyat öncesi pseudoartrozlar, Paley sınıflamasına göre 5 olguda B-1, 2 olguda B-3 olarak değerlendirildi. Tedavi öncesi 4 olgunun pseudoanrozunda enfeksiyon vardı. Altı olguda bifokal, 1 olguda trifokal tedavi uygulandı. Tamamen konsolidasyon geliştikten ve fiksatör yıkanıldıktan sonra olgular ortalama 19,4 ay (5-58) takip edildiler. Olguların sonuçları, Paley kriterlerine göre; radyolojik olarak 7 mükemmel, fonksiyonel olarak 4 mükemmel. 3 iyi olarak saptandı. Kliniğimizde, çocuk infekte ve non-infekte DPA da ilizarov yönteminin en iyi tedavi seçeneği olduğuna inanmaktayız.
