摘要:

在足踝部手术中,最常见的并发症是皮神经损伤。现有的临床研究缺乏对皮神经损伤后长期随访的报告,缺乏对足踝部皮神经损伤后的长期随访及观察资料。我们回顾性分析了足踝部手术患者279例的临床资料,以术后患者出现皮神经感觉区域明显的感觉异常为标准,并在明确诊断后予以维生素B12及甲钴胺口服,最终获得连续随访资料病例共17例,其中腓肠神经损伤7例,腓浅神经损伤5例,足底内侧皮神经损伤5例。采用英国医学会神经损伤评分量表,对患者术后即刻,6周,3,6,9个月,1年进行连续随访发现,绝大多数患者损伤神经感觉功能可在6个月内逐渐恢复,但术后9个月患者神经恢复进程基本停滞,术后9个月与1年损伤神经感觉功能无显著差异。随访术后9个月至1年,有4例患者出现痛性神经瘤。结果证实,足踝部手术后不同皮神经损伤患者感觉神经功能的恢复一般均需6个月。

Abstract:

Cutaneous nerve injury is the most common complication following foot and ankle surgery. However, clinical studies including long-term follow-up data after cutaneous nerve injury of the foot and ankle are lacking. In the current retrospective study, we analyzed the clinical data of 279 patients who underwent foot and ankle surgery. Subjects who suffered from apparent paresthesia in the cutaneous sensory nerve area after surgery were included in the study. Patients received oral vitamin B12 and methylcobalamin. We examined final follow-up data of 17 patients, including seven with sural nerve injury, five with superficial peroneal nerve injury, and five with plantar medial cutaneous nerve injury. We assessed nerve sensory function using the Medical Research Council Scale. Follow-up immediately, at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 9 months, and 1 year after surgery demonstrated that sensory function was gradually restored in most patients within 6 months. However, recovery was slow at 9 months. There was no significant difference in sensory function between 9 months and 1 year after surgery. Painful neuromas occurred in four patients at 9 months to 1 year. The results demonstrated that the recovery of sensory function in patients with various cutaneous nerve injuries after foot and ankle surgery required at least 6 months.
