Materials and Methods: Eight coronoid process fractures were treated by plating and these cases were reviewed retrospectively. Six patients were men and two were women. The average age was 41 years (range: 22-79) at the time of injury. According to Regan s classification, there were five type 2 and three type 3. According to O Driscoll s classification, there were five anteromedial type and three base type. Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate were performed through a medial approach by splitting of the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris. The patients were follow-up for a mean of 15.8 months (range: 6-25). We evaluated the clinical outcomes with using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score. Results: The average active motion of the elbow joint was 120. The average Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 86.9. There were 5 excellent results, 1 good result and 2 fair results. Summary: Plating through a medial approach of the elbow provided stable fixation and satisfactory union for treating displaced coronoid process fractures with the unstable elbow. Key Words: Coronoid process fracture, Plate fixation, Internal fixation 서론척골구상돌기골절은주로축성외력과동반된내반후내측또는후외측회전력에의하여발생하며비교적드문골절로보고되어왔다 6,8,11,16). 과거골절된골편의 크기를기초로한분류방법이주로사용되었으나 15), 최근골편의위치와모양이주관절의전반적인손상정도와연관이있어그중요성이강조되고있다 20). 단지골편의크기에따라치료방법을결정했던과거와달리, 작은골편이라할지라도안정된고정만이기능을보존 통신저자 : 변영수대구광역시동구신암동 576-31 대구파티마병원정형외과 Tel: 053) 940-7320, Fax: 053) 954-7417, E-Mail: fatimaos@unitel.co.kr 본논문의요지는 2008 년도대한골절학회추계학술대회에서발표되었음. 177

Regan과 Morrey의분류 15) 는측면상의단순방사선사진을이용해골절편의크기에따라구분하였으며, 지금까지구상돌기골절의분류에있어서가장보편적으로사용되어왔다. 최근구상돌기골절의전내측골편의위치가손상기전과연 관이있으며그에따라치료방법또한다른구상돌기골절과구분되어야함이강조되고있다 20). 이에 O Driscoll 분류 11,20) 는골절의위치및골편에따른정보를제공해주어전반적인손상기전을평가하는데좀더유용할것으로판단된다. Song 등 21) 은정확한구상돌기골절의형태파악을위해 coronoid view를제시한바있으나, 전내측골절의경우에는그형태및크기를확인하기어려워 3차원전산화단층촬영을통한정확한진단이필요할것으로사료된다 6,18). Doornberg 와 Ring 등 20) 은구상돌기골절중골편이전내측이있 182
신동주 : 금속판을이용한구상돌기골절의치료 는경우내측접근법및금속판을이용한고정이필요하다고강조하였다. 작은견열골절의경우요수근굴근과장장근사이의절개를통하여 bone tunnel을이용한봉합사등으로고정할수있고, 전내측골편의경우척수근굴근의양두사이로절개하여쉽게골절면에접근할수있으며, 아주큰골편의경우굽힘-회내근전체를척골로부터분리하여접근하여금속판등으로고정하는방법등을보고하였다 21). 본저자들은전예에서척수근굴근의양두사이로골절면에접근하여금속판을이용한고정에충분한시야및공간확보가가능하였으나, 절개시척골신경이노출될때까지세심한주의가필요하였고노출후에는신경표시줄로표시하여척골신경을과도하게견인하지않도록조심하였으며, 내측측부인대에추가적인손상을주지않기위해세심한주의가필요하였다. 구상돌기골절에대한여러연구에서견고한고정을통한조기관절운동만이만족할만한결과를가져올수있는것으로보고되고있다 1,3,7,8,9,22). 특히주관절의위험삼징후는주위연부조직및골조직의심한손상을초래하여치료후주관절의불안정성및외상후강직등으로인해예후가불량한것으로알려져있다 1,8,13,19). 본연구에서는주관절위험삼징후가있었던 2예중긴장대강선의고정실패및요골두의불유합으로두번의재수술을하였던증례에서최종추시상부분강직및외상성관절염이발생하여예후가불량하였다. 또한경주두골절탈구가있어후방접근을통하여강선으로구상돌기를고정하였으나골절편의전위및관절탈구가발생하였던증례에서요골두골절및심한연부조직손상이동반되어내측접근으로금속판을이용하여재고정후유합을얻었으나근위요척골의골유합증이생겼으며, 최종추시상주관절의불안정성과외상성관절염으로인해결과가좋지않았다. 결과적으로 8예의환자중에서골편의재전위가있었던 2예는후방강선고정을한 1예와내측접근을통하여긴장대강선으로고정한 1예였으며, 금속판을이용하여고정을시행한나머지 6예에서는재전위가발생하지않았다. 또한고정실패가발생하였던 2예모두금속판으로재고정하여모두안정된고정으로골유합을얻을수있었다. 불량한기능적결과를보인증례들은불안정한구상돌기골절의고정으로인해재수술이요했던이유도있겠지만요골두골절의불유합, 연부조직손상에의한요척골유합증, 인대손상에의한불안정성등의동반손상에의한합병증과관계가있을것으로생각된다. Doornberg 등 20) 은앞쪽관절낭이부착된골절편의고정만큼이나동반된내측측부인대및외측측부인대파열의치료또한중요하다고강조하였다. 본증례에서는내측측부인대가파열된 2예는봉합나사를이 용하여일차봉합하였고외측측부인대가파열된 2예는술후이학적검사상경도의불안정성만관찰되어장상지부목을통한보존적치료를시행하였다. 최종추시상무증상의외반불안정성을보였던 1예이외의불안정성은관찰되지않아정확한이학적검사를통한동반된손상의적절한치료가예후에중요한것으로생각된다. 요 8예의불안정한주관절이동반된전위된구상돌기골절들을내측접근법을통한금속판고정으로안정된고정과만족스러운골유합을얻을수있었다. 약 REFERENCES 01) Ahn EH, Lee ST, Ahn HS: Posterior dislocation of elbow joint with fracture of radial head and coronoid process (Terrible triad of elbow fracture and dislocation): case report.
