Percutaneous Kirschner Wire Fixation of Acute Mallet Fractures Percutaneousely Reduced by Towel Clip: Chung Soo Han, Duke Whan Chung, Bi O Jeong, Hyun Chul Park, Jin Young Kim, Cheol Hee Park, Jin Sung Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(4):283-287. Published online October 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.4.283

PURPOSE
To analyze the treatment of clinical results of the percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation of acute mallet fractures percutaneousely reduced by towel clip. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From August 2005 to April 2009, we evaluated nine fingers in eight patients, more than three months follow up. The type of injury was a axial loading in seven cases and direct blow in two. The average follow-up period was 10.1 months (range: 3~41 months). The indication of operative treatment was the presence of large bony fragment or the palmar subluxation of the distal phalnx. RESULTS: The range of motion was 3.7degrees (0~10degrees) in extension lag and 76.7degrees (60~90degrees) of flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. CONCLUSION: The percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation of acute mallet fractures percutaneousely reduced by towel clip is one of the easy and simple method to stabilizing of bony mallet fracture.

PURPOSE
To compare the use of screw only fixation with lateral one-third tubular plate fixation of non-comminuted oblique fracture of the lateral malleous and report the advantages of screw only fixation MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1996 to January 2000, we had operated 44 cases of non-comminuted oblique fractures of the lateral malleous (Denis-Weber type B, Lange-Hausen classification supination-external rotation injury). All cases had a follow-up period of over 6 months. There were 21 cases of cortical or bone screw fixation (group I) and 23 cases of one third tubular plate fixation (group II). Radiologic and clinical outcome parameters were used to compare group I with group II.
RESULTS
There were no significant difference in bone union rate and period between group I and group II (group I : 92 days, group II : 89 days). All cases of both groups recovered a complete range of motion after cast off. There was 1 case superficial infection in group II.
CONCLUSION
The radiologic and clinical results and complications between screw only fixation and one-third tubular plate fixation at non-comminuted lateral fibular fracture have no difference. The advantage of screw only fixation at non-comminuted lateral malleolar fracture is a small incision, short operation time and decreased patient 's complaints as compared with a similar group of patients treated by fixation with a lateral one third tubular plate fixaiton.

Treatment of Tibial Defect by Fibular Transposition using Ilizarov: Chung Soo Han, Yong Girl Rhee, Chang Hyun Cho, Moo Song Park, Dong Jun Shin; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(4):943-947. Published online October 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.4.943

Abstract: Treatment of large segmental defect of tibia is difficult because of associated infection, shortening of limb, nonunion and soft tissue reconstruction. There has been a few options for the reconstruction of segmental tibial defect including vascularized or nonvascularized fibular graft, vascularized iliac bone graft, compression-distraction osteosynthesis and allograft. Tibialization of the ipsilateral fibula for 5 patients who had large tibial defect was successfully achieved by fibular transposition using Ilizarov apparatus at our hosipital . The average defect of tibia was 10.4cm in length. The average time of Ilizarov fixation was 10.3 months. Although one patient required bone grafts, most of them achieved good bony union. The clinical and radiological features and their results were also addressed. Fibular transposition using Ilizarov may be a satisfactory method of treatment for the large segmental tibial defect associated with severe soft tissue injury or vascular compromise.

Popliteal Artery Injuries Associated with Trauma Around the Knee: Myung Chul Yoo, Chung Soo Han, Kye Lim Lee, Moon Hwan Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1989;2(1):34-41. Published online June 30, 1989; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1989.2.1.34

Abstract PDF: Between Jan. 1980 and Dec. 1987, 47 cases in 44 patients with politeal artery injury associated with trauma around the knee joint were managed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, KMC. Authors analysed the diagonstic methods, operations with its results and prognostic factors, and the results were as follows: 1. The incidence was 3%(44/1473) from Jan. 1980 to Dec. 1987 2. 14 cases of 19 cases, who underwent the vascular surgery, were survived(74%) and further amputations were applied to failed 5 cases. 3. Doppler flowmeter was considered as very useful diagnostic tool because of simplicity, safety, and accuracy, therefore angiography was not necessary in all cases. 4. The length of ischemic time and the amount of associated soft tissue damage were considered as important prognostic factors. 5. Vein graft was considered as good operative technique, but thrombectomy alone was not enough method for politeal artery injury. 6. ligament repair was not always necessary in treatment of popliteal artery injury associated dislocation of knee. 7. Prophylatic decompression was necessary in all cases after vascular surqery and fibulectomy fasciotomy was considered as outstanding technique.
