Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical effect for treatment of scapula neck or body fractures by straight incision approach and the Judet approach.Methods From July 2001 to July 2011,32 patients with scapula neck or body fractures were treated using the two different approaches:(1) the straight incision approach in 15 patients including 11 males and 4 females,the average age of 38.10 years,fractures classified by Ada-Miller including 4 ⅡA,6 ⅡB and 5 Ⅳ; (2) the Judet approach in 17 patients including 12 males and 5 females,the average age of 39.47 years,fractures classified by Ada-Miller including 5 ⅡA,4 ⅡB and 8 Ⅳ.All patients were followed up.Intraoperative data and postoperative pain of two groups were compared by visual analogue score (VAS),the efficacy were evaluated by Rowe-Zarins scores and the patient's postoperative shoulder function were assessed by Constant-Murley functional score.Results All fractures were preliminary healed after 8 weeks of surgery,there was no wound infection,no internal fixation loosening,no shoulder deformity and other complication.Length of incision,operative time and blood loss of straight incision approach was 6.73±0.96 cm,58.67±4.39 min,94.25±6.14 ml and length of incision,operative time and blood loss of Judet approach was 18.88±1.41 cm,82.24±4.49 min,227.77±23.08 ml.VAS of straight incision approach and Judet approach were 2.60±1.55 and 4.65±1.93,mild and moderate postoperative pain evaluated by VAS were significant differences between two groups.The excellent rate by Rowe-Zarins scores of straight incision approach and Judet approach were 93.3％(14/15) and 88.2％(15/17),they were no significant differences.There was no significant differences in the shoulder joint mobility and muscle strength of Constant-Murley functional score between two groups.However,pain and daily life of Constant-Murley functional score were significant differences between two groups and Constant-Murley functional score of straight incision approach and Judet approach were 85.60±3.31 and 80.65±3.44.Conclusion Compared with Judet approach,straight in cision approach has many advantages,such as a short time of surgery,minor injury,light postoperative pain,good postoperative functional recovery.It is the better surgical approach for the treatment of scapular fractures.
