Bone Substitutes and the Advancement for Enhancing Bone Healing: Dong Hyun Lee, Ji Wan Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(2):102-109. Published online April 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.2.102

With an aging population and the development of surgical techniques, there is a growing demand for bone reconstruction in areas of trauma, arthroplasty, and spinal fusion Although autogenous bone grafting may be the best method for stimulating bone repair and regeneration, there are still problems and complications, including morbidity related to bone harvesting and limitation of harvest amount. Allogeneic bone grafts have a limited supply and risk of transmission of infectious diseases. Over the past several decades, the use of bone substitutes, such as calcium phosphate, has increased; however, they have limited indications. Biomedical research has suggested a possibility of stimulating the self-healing mechanism by locally transmitting the external growth factors or stimulating local production through a gene transfer. In this review, we evaluate recent advances, including bone graft, bone substitutes, and tissue engineering.

Iatrogenic Humeral Fracture during Reduction of Shoulder Dislocation: Two Cases Report: Hyung Lae Cho, Hyoung Min Kim, Ki Bong Park, Tae Hyun Wang, Dong Hyun Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(1):50-54. Published online January 31, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.1.50

Abstract PDF: Shoulder dislocation is the most common dislocation presenting to the emergency department. In old age, the attempt of closed reduction is made with caution in order to prevent iatrogenic fracture around the shoulder. We report two cases of iatrogenic fractures of humeral shaft and anatomical neck in female patients older than 70 years old, which occurred during the manual closed reduction. One patient was proved as first-time and the other was recurrent. In addition, the second case had a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Those patients were treated successfully with humeral nailing and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, respectively.

Ankle Fracture Associated with Tibia Shaft Fractures: Ji Wan Kim, Hong Joon Choi, Dong Hyun Lee, Young Chang Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2014;27(2):136-143. Published online April 30, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2014.27.2.136

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of ankle injury in ipsilateral tibial shaft fractures and to assess the risk factors for ankle injury associated with tibial shaft fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sixty patients with tibial shaft fractures were enrolled in this retrospective study. The incidence and characteristics of ankle injury were evaluated, and fracture classification, fracture site, and fracture pattern of the tibial shaft fractures were analyzed for assessment of the risk factors for ankle injury combined with tibial shaft fractures.
RESULTS
Ankle injury occurred in 20 cases (33%). There were four cases of lateral malleolar fracture, four cases of posterior malleolar fracture, two cases of distal tibiofibular ligament avulsion fracture, and 10 cases of complex injury. Fourteen cases (70%) of 20 cases of ankle injury were diagnosed from x-ray films, and the other six cases were recognized in ankle computed tomography (CT). Ankle injury occurred in 45.1% of distal tibial shaft fractures and found in 41.4% of A type, but there was no statistical significance. Ankle injury was observed in 54% of cases of spiral pattern of tibial shaft fracture and the incidence was statistically higher than 19% of cases of non-spiral pattern tibial shaft fracture.
CONCLUSION
Ankle injury was observed in 33% of tibial shaft fractures; however, only 70% could be diagnosed by x-ray. Ankle injury occurred frequently in cases of spiral pattern of tibial shaft fracture, and evaluation of ankle injury with CT is recommended in these cases.

Heterotopic Ossification around Patellar Tendon Following Treatment of Patellar Fracture: A Case Report: Sang Jin Lee, Ji Wan Kim, Dong Hyun Lee, Jae Young Lim; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(1):73-76. Published online January 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.1.73

Abstract PDF: Heterotopic ossification around the patellar tendon is known to be extremely rare. A 42-year-old man had a transverse fracture of the left patella. Open reduction and tension band wiring were performed. At four weeks, plain radiographs showed an extensive ossification around the patellar tendon and the patient presented limitation of flexion and pain in kneeling position. We just encouraged active and passive ranges of motion exercises and performed one manipulation under anesthesia. At the final follow-up (10 months post-operatively), he was able to flex his knee by 140 degrees. We present a case of heterotopic ossification around the patellar tendon with limitation of knee flexion that was successfully treated with nonoperative treatment.
