Materials and Methods: Six children were enrolled in this study. The locations of fracture were proximal femur in five children and distal femur in one child. Pathologic diagnosis was aneurysmal bone cyst, in three children and simple bone cyst, enchondroma, and nonossifying fibroma, in other three children. All six children were underwent curettage of bone lesion and bone grafting, then the fractures were internally fixed using LCP. Results: All fractures were united at six to ten weeks after operation. Healing of bone lesions except one case was observed. There were no mechanical complications, no loss of reduction and malunion. Also, we couldn't find any complication associated with physeal injury, such as leg length discrepancy of lower extremities. Conclusion: Internal fixation of metaphyseal pathologic fracture of long bone using LCP in children is technically easy and offers secure fixation despite anatomic and biologic characteristics of this type of fracture due to biologic and biomechanical advantages of LCP.

Arlington TN, USA) 이식을동시에시행하였으며, 병변의크기가작았던원위대퇴골에발생하였던 1예에서는황산칼슘이식 만을시행하였다. 자가비골이식을시행하였던예에서는먼저동측에서자가비골을채취한후본수술을시행하였으며, 본저자들에의해고안된방법을이용하여비골의채취및공여부에대한황산칼슘이식을시행하였다 14). 골이식이끝난후잠김금속판을이용한내고정시가능한잠김나사못 (Locking Head Screw) 을이용하였으며, 성장판손상을피하기위해나사못의방향조정이필요한경우, 골편의간접정복을위해필요한경우등에있어서는일반나사못을혼합하여사용하였다. 마지막으로술후 6-8 주간석고고정시행후부분체중부하목발보행시행하였으며술후약 3개월에완전체중부하를허용하였다. 치료결과의평가를위해술후주기적단순방사선사진을통해골절의유합여부및시기를확인하였으며, 최종추시방사선사진상기저병변의치유여부와골절정복의소실에따른부정유합, 대퇴골두무혈성괴사그리고금속판의파단, 나사못의이탈과같은기계적합병증등의유무에대해확인하였고, 동시에원격방사선사진 (Teleoroentgenography) 을이용하여성장판손상에따른하지부동, 하지정렬의변화등의여부도확인하였다. 또한임상적평가를위해고관절및슬관절의운동범위와보행시파행의여부를확인하였다. 결과추시방사선사진상술후 6-10주에전예에서골유합소견관찰되었으며최종추시방사선사진상전체 6예중 5예에서는기저병변의완전한치유관찰할수

Malkawi 등 7) 은소아에서발생한대퇴골전자하부병적골절에대한수술적치료의결과를보고하면서소아에있어골절에대한내고정의해부학적제한점을이야기하였다. 이러한제한점은첫째, 대퇴경부의작은직경으로인해굴곡칼날금속판 (Angled Blade Plate) 과같이비교적크기가큰내고정
542 정성택ㆍ정광철ㆍ김현종외 1 인 물을위치하는데있어어려움이있을수있으며, 둘째, 주위의성장판의존재로인해충분한내고정이어려울수있으며, 셋째, 기저병변으로인한골결손및얇은피질골로인해견고한내고정이어려울수있다는점이다. 지금까지여러저자들에의해이러한해부학적제한점을극복하기위한여러가지수술방법들이제안되어왔다. 많은저자들은굴곡칼날금속판과압박고나사못 (Compression Hip Screw) 을이용한수술적치료에대해보고하였고 6,12,17), Roposch 등 10) 은단순골낭종에의한병적골절에대한치료로유연성골수강내금속정 (Flexible Intramedullary Nail) 을이용한치료를발표였으며, 9예의근위대퇴부골절중 5예에서내반변형이발생하였다고보고하여이치료의한계점을보였다. Erol 등 1) 은소아에서발생한골낭종에의한병적골절의치료에대한분류를발표하였으며, 그들은병변의크기가커서성장판하방에나사못을고정시키기에충분한골이남아있지않은경우성장판을가로지르는 2개의핀을이용하여고정하고고수상석고를시행할것을제안하였다. 또한최근 Vigler 등 15) 은근위대퇴골에발생한병적골절에대한치료방법중하나로외고정장치를이용한치료를소개하였다. 본저자들은 2004년부터대퇴골골간단부의병적골절이발생하였던 6명의소아에대해잠김금속한을이용한수술적치료를시행하였으며, 이중 1예에서기저병변의불와전치유관찰되어재수술이필요하였으나, 기타골유합의문제, 정복소실에따른부정유합, 기계적합병증, 성장판손상등과같은문제로인해재수술이필요하였던예는없었다. 이처럼해부학적으로, 그리고생물학적으로취약한골절의치료에있어잠김금속판의사용은잠김금속판의생역학적, 생물학적특징으로인해기존의다른내고정물에비해많은장점을가지고있다 2,3,5,13,16). 첫째, 대퇴골골간단부와같이많은체중부하를받는부위의골절은짧은골간단부골편을견고하게고정하는것이필요하며, 지금까지는굴곡칼날금속판이나압박고나사못등이가장많이사용되어왔으나소아의경우대퇴경부의직경이작아이러한내고정물을정확히위치시키는데어려움이있다. 하지만잠김금속판은방향조절이가능한일반나사못과잠김나사못을적절히혼합하여사용함 으로써짧은골간단부골편을좀더쉽고효과적으로안정되게고정할수있다. 둘째, 이러한나사못의적절한혼합사용으로주위의인접한성장판의손상을피하면서골편의고정이가능하다. 셋째, 기저병변에대한철저한소파술후발생되는골결손및얇은피질골로인해안정적인고정의유지가어려운문제가발생한다. 하지만잠김금속판의경우금속판과잠김나사못이하나의안정적인구조물을형성함으로써각변형에대한안정성과축성안정성이뛰어나며, 나사못의움직임 (toggle) 이나이탈이발생하지않아술후정복의소실을감소시킬수있다. 넷째, 잠김금속판은기존의금속판과는달리안정성을위해금속판과피질골사이에압박이필요하지않기때문에골막의혈액공급을차단하지않음으로써골절의치유및기저병변의치유를향상시킬수있다. 마지막으로장기간지속된양성골종양에의해대퇴골근위부의골변형이발생한경우에있어고정된각을가지는굴곡칼날금속판이나압박고나사못의사용에제한을받을경우에도유용하게사용할수있다. 본저자들은비록증례수가적고추시기간은짧지만소아환자에서양성골종양에의해발생한하지골간단부의병적골절에대해잠김금속판을이용하여수술적치료를시행함으로써특별한합병증없이양호한임상적결과를얻을수있었다. 결론소아에서양성골종양에의한하지의골간단부의병적골절은그해부학적, 생물학적특징으로인해치료에있어많은제한점을가지고있다. 잠김금속판의생역학적특징과생물학적장점을적절히이용함으로써비교적기술적으로도쉬우면서견고한고정을얻을수있어합병증을최소화하면서양호한골유합을기대할수있을것으로생각된다. 참고문헌 1.
