SUPRAKONDİLLER HUMERUS KIRIKLARINDA (GARTLAND TİP 2 VE TİP 3 KIR IKLAR) SINIR YARALANMALARI VE TEDAVİ YÖNETİMİ

Suprakondiller humerus kırıkları çoçuklarda en sık görülen kırıklardır. Suprakondiller humerus kırıkları sonrası sinir yara lan mala rı %12-20 oranında görülür. Bu çalış mada tedavi edilen Gartland Tip 2 ve Tip 3 suprakondiller humerus kırıklarında sinir yaralanma insidansı ve tedavi yönetimi ile ilgili deneyimlerin paylaşılması amaçlandı. Bu çalış mada 2015-2017 yılları arasında, suprakondiller humerus kırığ ı nedeniyle opere edilen hastalar alındı. Suprakondiller humerus kırıkları Gart land sınıfla ma sistemine göre sınıflandırıld ı. Kırığ ın tipi, hangi cerrahi tedavinin uygulandığı, sinir yaralanması olup olmadığı ve bu sinir yara lan masının iy ileş me süresi değerlendirildi. Suprakondiller humerus kırığı Gartland Tip 2 ve Tip 3 olan toplam 40 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Çalış madaki hastaların 28’i erke k, 12’si kız hasta idi. Gart land Tip 2 kırığı olan 12 hasta ve Gart land Tip 3 kırığı olan 28 hasta mevcuttu. Sinir yaralanması olan 8 hastadan 3 hastada travma sonrası, 5 hastada ise cerrahi müdahele sonrası sinir hasarı tesbit edildi. Çalış madan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda suprakondiller humerus kırıklarında meydana gelen sinir yaralanmalarının çoğunun 4-6 ay içerisinde kendiliğinden iyileştiği gözlendi

Nerve injuries and treatment management in supracondils humerus fractures (gartland type 2 and type 3 fractures)

Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common fractures in children. Nerve injuries after supracondiller humerus fractures are around 12-20%. The aim of this study was to share our experience with nerve injury incidence and treatment management in Gartland Type 2 and Type 3 supracondylar humerus fractures. In this study, patients who were operated for supracondylar humerus fracture between 2015 and 2017 were included. Supracondylar humerus fractures were classified according to the Gartland classification system. Type of fracture, surgical treatment, nerve in jury, and recovery time of this nerve injury were evaluated. A total of 40 patients with Ga rtland Type 2 and Type 3 supracondylar humeral fractures were included in the study. 28 of the patients were male and 12 were female. There were 12 patients with Glandland Type 2 fracture and 28 patients with Gartland Type 3 fractures. Nerve injury occurred in 8 patients. 3 of them had nerve injury after fracture. 5 patients who had nerve injury occurred after surgical intervention. According to the data obtained from the study, most of the nerve injuries occurred in supracondylar humerus fractures spontaneously recovered in 4-6 months.
