Indications of operative treatment are fractures involving more than 30% of articular surface or those with palmar subluxation or fracture fragment displaced more than 3 mm. We used hook plate which prebend the 1.2 mm miniplate (Leibinger ). The mean follow-up period was 7 months. The clinical results were evaluated using Crawford classification. Results: According to Crawford classification, 6 cases were excellent and 1 case was good. There were marginal necrosis in one case and nail deformities in 3 cases. These complications were healed spontaneously. Conclusion: Internal fixation of mallet finger using 통신저자 : 김홍균서울특별시영등포구대림1동 948-1 한림대학교강남성심병원정형외과학교실 TEL: 02-829-5165, FAX: 02-834-1728 E-mail: jacobass@hallym.or.kr * 본논문의요지는 2008년도대한정형외과학회추계학술대회에서포스터전시되었음. Hook plate is a relatively easy method which can achieve anatomical reduction and firm fixation for earlier interphalangeal joint exercise. Key Words: Bony mallet, Hook plate 서 론 골성추지는원위수지기저부의견열골절로신전기전의손상이발생하여굴곡변형이생기거나, 이차적으로백조목변형이발생할수있다 1,2. 현재까지관혈적또는비관혈적정복술및다양한방법에의한고정술이소개되어왔다. 그러나 wire, K-강선, 나사못를이용한해부학적정복및견고한고정술은골편의골절및정복의소실이발생할수있고, K-강선의위치가변하거나, 원위지절의장기간고정으로인해원위지절의조기운동이불가능하며, K-강선이피부밖에위치하여감염에대한주의가요구된다 3,4. Teoh 와 Lee 는이에위의문제점을최소화할수있으면서해부학적정복및견고한고정이가능한골성추지의또다른치료방법을소개하여좋은결과를얻었기에저자들도이치료법을좀더쉽게변형하여그임상적결과에대해서보고하고자한다 5. 연구대상및방법 2007년 9월부터 2008년 2월까지골성추지로방문한환자중환측원위지절의수장부아탈구가있는경우, 골편의크기가관절면의 1/3이상인경우, 3 mm 이상의골편전위를보이는경우를대상으로전향적연구를수행하였다 6-8. 위의기준에맞는환자 8 명 (Table 1) 을대상으로관혈적정복술및내고정술을시행하였고, 추시기간은최소 6개월이상이었다. 저자들이사용한 plate는 1.2 mm miniplate (Leibinger ) 를변형시켜서갈고기모양의금속판 299

(hook plate) 으로만들어사용하였다 (Fig. 1). 수술방법은원위지절에횡절개를하여, 전층의피판을만들어충분히골편을노출시켜관혈적정복술을시행하고, 제작된 hook 금속판을이용해골편을고정하였다 (Fig. 2). 수술시간은마취후부터수술방을나가기전까지의시간을측정하였다. 수술후 1주간부목고정을시행하였고, 수술후 8일째 stack으로고정하였고, 매시간당 10분의능동적원위지절운동을시행하였다. 2주일째봉합사를제거하였다. 예기치않은사고로부터보호하기위해 Stack은 4주까지잠잘때와낮시간에운동을하지않을때착용하도록교육하였다. 4주이후에부목을완전히제거하도록하였다. 추시기간은최소 6개월이상이었다. 임상적인평가는수술후 24주 (6개월) 째 Crawford 판정법 (Table 2) 을기준으로원위지관절의신전소실및굴곡정도 300

노규철 김홍균 유희성 유정한 박진수 정국진 황지효 한수봉 양의금속판내고정으로얻을수있는이득을고려해볼때크게중요하지않다고생각한다. 또갈고리모양의금속판이작아서골편과압박고정을하는것이쉽지않았으며, 이를위하여저자들은포겸자 (towel clip) 를변형시켜만든기구를이용골절정복후고정을용이하게하였다 (Fig. 5). 결 론 갈고리 (hook) 금속판을이용한고정술은해부학적으로견고한고정이가능하고, 장기간의원위지절고정이필요하지않아조기운동이가능하여골성추지의고정방법중하나의방법으로의미가있다. 그러나환자군이적고장기추기결과가부족하므로앞으로좀더많은환자및장기추기에대한연구가필요할것으로사료된다. 참고문헌 Fig. 4.
