Long-Term Results of Open Arthrolysis for Elbow Stiffness

Öz:
Purpose: Stiff elbow is a common upper extremity problem which can limit patients’ daily life activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of open arthrolysis for stiff elbow. Our hypothesis was that open arthrolysis would yield good functional results and patient satisfaction. Methods: This retrospective study assessed 110 patients who underwent surgery for stiff elbow in a single institute between 2003-2012. Twenty-four of the patients who underwent open arthrolysis without heterotopic ossification excision and minimum followed up for 24 months were included in this study. All patient’s surgical procedure, ulnar nerve and radial head management, preoperative and postoperative ranges of elbow motion and complications were noted. Functional outcomes were evaluated with Quick-DASH and Mayo Elbow Performance score (MEPS). Results: The mean age of the patients was 36.1 years at the time of open arthrolysis and mean follow-up period was 50.6 months. The mean preoperative flexion–extension arc increased form 52.4° to 96.5° and preoperative supination– pronation arc increased form 103.3° to 137.8°(p<0.05). The mean MEPS score was 81.6 and the Q-DASH score was 6.3. Complication occurred in 9 patients (37.5%) and 4 patients required additional surgery. Conclusion: Open arthrolysis is an effective treatment method for stiff elbows, with reliable long-term functional outcomes. The complication rates are high; however, they are generally minor and temporary.

Dirsek Sertliğinde Açık Kapsüler Gevşetmenin Uzun Dönem Sonuçları

Öz:
Amaç: Sert dirsek hastaların günlük yaşam aktivitelerini kısıtlayabilen ve sık karşılaşılan bir üst ekstremite patolojisidir. Çalışmamızın amacı sert dirsek hastalarında uygulanan açık kapsüler gevşetme yönteminin uzun dönem sonuçlarını değerlendirmekti. Hipotezimiz, açık kapsüler gevşetme ile başarılı fonksiyonel sonuçlar ve hasta memnuniyeti elde edebileceğimizdi. Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, 2003-2012 yılları arasında tek bir merkezde sert dirsek tanısı ile ameliyat edilen 110 hasta incelendi. Heterotopik ossifikasyon eksizyonu yapılmadan yalnızca açık kapsüler gevşetme uygulanan ve minimum 24 ay süre ile takip edilen 24 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bütün hastalara uygulanan cerrahi prosedür, ulnar sinir ve radius başı yönetimi, preop ve postop dirsek hareket açıklıkları not edildi. Fonksiyonel sonuçlar Mayo Dirsek Performans Skoru (MEPS) ve hızlı DASH (Q-DASH) skorları ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların açık kapsüler gevşetme yapıldığı sıradaki yaş ortalaması 36.1 yıldı. Ortalama takip süresi 50.6 aydı. Hasaların ortalama preop fleksiyon-ekstansiyon hareket arkı 52.4°’ den 96.5°’ye yükselirken, ortalama preop supinasyonpronasyon hareket arkı 103.3°’den 137.8°’ye yükseldi (p<0.005). Ortalama MEPS skoru 81.6 ve Q-DASH skoru 6.3 bulundu. Hastaların dokuzunda (%37.5) komplikasyon gelişti ve bu hastaların dördünde ek cerrahi girişim uygulandı. Sonuç: Açık kapsüler gevşetme sert dirsek hastalarında uygulanan, güvenilir uzun dönem sonuçları olan etkili bir tedavi yöntemidir. Komplikasyon oranı yüksek olmakla beraber bu komplikasyonlar genellikle geçici ve yönetilebilirdir.
