Abstract
BACKGROUND: Management of patients with upper extremity gunshot wounds that have destroyed the elbow joint is a major challenge in modern traumatic and orthopedic surgery.
AIM: To assess medium-term surgical outcomes in patients with upper extremity gunshot wounds that have destroyed the elbow joint who received combination treatment using additive technology.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2022 and 2024, 25 patients with upper extremity gunshot wounds that have destroyed the elbow were treated using additive technology in the Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. All patients were male, with a mean age of 34.5±7.82 years. The mean time from injury to elbow replacement surgery was 193±39 days. The range of motion in the elbow joint was assessed. The QuickDASH and the Oxford Elbow Score were used to subjectively assess treatment outcomes after 3 and 6 months. CT examinations were performed at each stage.
RESULTS: A follow-up examination after 6 months showed an improvement in the range of motion in the majority of patients. The following criteria indicated a positive outcome: range of motion without limitations (Table 4, RF Government Decree No. 565 of July 4, 2013, On Approval of the Regulation on Military Medical Examination), QuickDASH score <45, and Oxford Elbow Score >70. The outcome was good in 17 (68%) patients and satisfactory in 5 (20%) patients. Three (12%) patients had postoperative complications (one patient’s elbow implant component was destroyed, and two patients developed deep periprosthetic infections), resulting in poor outcomes. Thus, the elbow joint function was successfully restored using additive technology in 22 (88%) patients.
CONCLUSION: In patients with upper extremity gunshot wounds that have destroyed the elbow joint, additive technology rapidly and completely restores the upper extremity function. However, the long-term outcomes of this treatment need to be investigated further.
