Its value as well as influencing factors on the upper extremity have not been adequately quantified so far.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>Sixty cases were retrospectively studied after application of focused high-energy ESWT with regard to healing rate and consolidation time. The influence of age, location, time of treatment and treatment prior to and concurrent with ESWT were analysed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In 70% of the cases, healing occurred after a median of 2.4 months (DBH) and 2.8 months (NU). The median age of healed (DBH 44 y., non-union 35 y.) and non-healed (DBH 51 y., NU 37 y.) did not differ significantly. The time between trauma/surgery and ESWT was 4.2 months for DBH in healed and 3.7 months in non-healed without a significant difference, and 27 months for NU in both healed and non-healed. Age and smoking status also had no influence. The healing rate was highest at metacarpal bone/finger/thumb (91%), followed by forearm shaft (88%), epiphysis/metaphysis of the forearm (67%), and, lastly, carpal bones (59%). After conservative pre-treatment, 55% healed, compared with 67% after more than two previous surgeries, 73% without any pre-treatment, and 75% after one previous surgery. Further analysis of surgical pre-treatment showed 85% healing after ORIF alone, 64% without previous surgery, and 57% healing after ORIF with bone grafting/debridement. Intraoperative ESWT combined with bone debridement/transplantation and ORIF resulted in 67% healing, compared with 86% in combination with ORIF alone. ESWT alone or with only minimal measures (removal of osteosynthesis material) led to 70% consolidation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>ESWT is equally effective at any stage of a bone healing disorder. The principles of stability and filling of bone defects must also be taken into account when using ESWT; then ESWT alone or combined with surgery is equally effective. The negative influence of bone defects/resorption is still detectable even with ESWT. Furthermore, treatment of the scaphoid is more problematic compared with other locations.

Fracture stabilisation and soft tissue care are equal prerequisites for an uncomplicated course of treatment and a good functional result. However, challenges arise in cases of extensive wound contamination and compromised perfusion, limiting options for stable osteosynthesis in emergency situations. Furthermore, resource constraints may pose a challenge to adhering strictly to the six-hour time window. This prompts deliberations on whether, under certain circumstances, a deviation from the conventional approach is feasible by exploring the possibility of prioritising immediate surgical wound care during emergencies, with definitive fracture care deferred to a later point in time. Between 2019 and 2021, 301 patients with open fractures of the hand skeleton were treated (median age 44 years, 85% male, 15% female). Definitive treatment was carried out as a primary emergency procedure in 215 patients (group A), whereas it was performed at an interval after an average of 3 days in 86 patients (group B), who had received surgical wound care, splint placement, and antibiotic coverage on the day of the injury. In a retrospective study, the following criteria were analysed: comorbidities, injury patterns, injury location, timing of treatment, number of follow-up procedures, infection rate, and duration of hospitalisation. The course was complicated by infection in six patients (1.9%). Five of these patients were in group A (infection rate 2.3%), and only one patient was in group B (infection rate 1.1%). All six infections occurred after crush injuries, all at the fingertip or end joint. These numbers underscore the relevance of soft tissue trauma and primary stump formation. Comorbidities were not statistically significant in our study with a view to the occurrence of infection. In conclusion, it can be stated that, with antibiotic protection, definitive treatment of an open fracture in an interval is possible if it is preceded by initial emergency surgical wound care with subsequent immobilisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":" ","pages":"336-341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
