Abstract:
METHODS: A 27-year-old woman developed capitellar osteonecrosis after long-term corticosteroid use to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She underwent an osteochondral reconstruction using a lateral femoral condyle (LFC) allograft. This graft was selected because it has a similar radius of curvature to the capitellum. The patient had osseous integration, painless, near full range of motion of her elbow 6 months postoperatively and good shoulder function 1.0 year postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS: The LFC allograft should be considered a viable option in treating capitellar osteonecrosis.
摘要:
方法:一名27岁的女性在长期使用皮质类固醇治疗非霍奇金淋巴瘤后出现了脑层骨坏死。她使用股骨外侧髁(LFC)同种异体移植进行了骨软骨重建。选择此移植物是因为其具有与小牛相似的曲率半径。病人骨融合,无痛,术后6个月肘关节活动接近全范围,术后1.0年肩关节功能良好。
结论:LFC同种异体移植应被认为是治疗小头骨坏死的可行选择。
