目的 探討不同年齡段老年骨折合并高血壓的動態血壓變化，評估心腦血管事件發生風險。 方法 將2009年4月－2012年2月入住的184例60歲以上老年骨折合并高血壓患者分為低齡老年骨折組（97例，60～79歲）與高齡老年骨折組（87例，≥80歲），對每位患者行動態血壓分析。 結果 兩組患者平均收縮壓均升高，差異無統計學意義（P＞0.05）；但高齡老年骨折組平均舒張壓和平均脈壓差在全天、日間及夜間均低于低齡老年骨折組，差異有統計學意義（P＜0.05）；高齡老年骨折組血壓節律紊亂更明顯，心腦血管事件發生率明顯高于低齡老年骨折組，差異有統計學意義（P＜ 0.05）。 結論 高齡老年骨折患者血壓節律紊亂明顯，應及時調整并制定有效的個體化降壓方案，積極防止以及血管事情的發生。
Objective To review the outcomes of geriatric distal humeral fracture fixed with locking compression plate (LCP). Methods From January 2005 to December 2007, 24 patients (20 females and 4 males) with distal humeral fracture underwent open reduction and internal fixation with LCP. Their average age was 75.5 years old, ranged from 60 to 93 years old. Fracture was caused by injury from fall in 22 cases, by traffic accident in 1 case, and by direct hit in 1 case. There were 12 cases of type A2, 2 cases of type A3, 2 cases of type B1, 2 cases of type C1, 2 cases of type C2, 4 cases of type C3 fractures according to AO/ASIF classification. X-ray films in AP and lateral view were taken preoperatively. CT scan with three dimensional reconstructions was done in more comminuted fracture only. Open reduction with triceps sparingtechnique was used in all except type B fracture, and olecranon osteotomy was considered only in more comminuted C3fracture. The average interval between injury and operation was 3 days (range, 1-6 days). Outcome measures includedpain assessment, range of motion, and Mayo elbow performance score and findings at 1 year follow-up. Results Theaverage length of follow-up was 25 months (range, 12-48 months). All 24 fractures were healed within 6 months with anaverage of about 4 months. At 1 year follow-up, 83% (n=20) of patients felt no pain and 17% (n=4) of patients had mildpain; 83% of patient can gain a flexion range of more than 100°; according to Mayo elbow performance score, the meanscores of type A, B and C fracture groups were 97, 85, and 89, respectively, and the post-operative performance of typeA fracture was significantly better than that of type B and C (P=0.034). Four patients had postoperative compl ications.Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation of geriatric distal humeral fracture can achieve relatively good functionalresult and bony union despite of age.
Because of the complexity of proximal humeral fractures, the treatment of proximal humeral fractures has always been a challenge for clinicians. The MultiLoc intramedullary nail is a new type of internal fixation device which has been gradually used in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in recent years. At present, it is mainly used in the Neer two- and three-part fractures, especially surgical neck fractures. Its flexible design can provide personalized and multi-plane fixation for fracture patients, “screw-in-screw” and medial supporting screw can effectively reduce the axial displacement and varus angle of humeral head, and minimally invasive surgical incision can reduce the injury of rotator cuff. This review focuses on the research status and related evidence of the design, operation, prognosis, and postoperative complications of MultiLoc intramedullary nail, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the application of MultiLoc intramedullary nail in fracture treatment, and enhance clinicians’ understanding of MultiLoc intramedullary nail as a new type of internal fixation device.
