The Surgical Outcomes of Clavicle Lateral End Fractures Fixed with the Oblique T Locking Compession Plate: Seung Oh Nam, Young Soo Byun, Dong Ju Shin, Jung Hoon Shin, Chung Yeol Lee, Tae Gyun Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):41-47. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.41

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of the clavicle lateral end fracture fixed with an oblique T locking compression plate (LCP).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Fourteen clavicle lateral end fractures were fixed with the oblique T-LCP and followed up for at least 1 year after the surgery. Thirteen cases were unstable Neer type II fractures and one case was nonunion of the Neer type I fracture. The mean age was 46 years of age (range, 26~70). In ten cases, augmenting sutures with the absorbable suture material were placed in the coraco-clavicular ligament and around the plate and the clavicle to improve the stability of fracture fixation. Autogenous iliac bone graft was done in four cases. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by using UCLA scoring system and KSS (Korean Shoulder Score).
RESULTS
The mean UCLA score was 33.5 and the mean KSS was 94.9. Average time of bone union was 11.9 weeks (range, 6~28), including 1 case with a delayed union. There was no complication such as loss of fixation or nonunion.
CONCLUSION
Fixation with the oblique T-LCP is a good option providing reliable functional results in clavicle lateral end fractures.

The Surgical Outcomes of Isolated Greater Tuberosity Fractures of the Proximal Humerus Fixed with the Spring Plate: Dong Ju Shin, Young Soo Byun, Se Ang Chang, Hee Min Yun, Ho Won Park, Jae Young Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(3):159-165. Published online July 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.3.159

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of isolated greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus fixed with the spring plates.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Fourteen patients who could be followed up at least 1 year after the surgical treatment of isolated greater tuberosity fracture were evaluated. Their mean age was 51 years (range, 25~73 years). The deltopectoral approach and fixation with the spring plate were performed in all cases. The spring plate was used in all cases. In some circumstances, sutures incorporating the rotator cuff, interfragmentary screw or tension band wire were added. We evaluated the clinical outcomes using UCLA scoring system and KSS (Korean Shoulder Score).
RESULTS
The mean UCLA score was 29.8 and the mean KSS was 89.4. The average time of bony union was 10.2 weeks (range, 7~14 weeks) after the surgery, including 1 case that was performed the secondary operation due to metal failure. The shoulder stiffness were observed in 4 cases and one case of infection was treated well without operation.
CONCLUSION
In the treatment of isolated greater tuberosity fractures of the proximal humerus, the spring plates fixation can be a good surgical option providing reliable functional results.

Inlay Fibular Autograft and Helical LCP Fixation for a Segmental Comminuted Fracture of the Osteoporotic Proximal Humerus: A Case Report: Young Soo Byun, Dong Ju Shin, Se Ang Chang, Do Yop Kwon; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(1):100-103. Published online January 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.1.100

Abstract

Unstable fractures of the proximal humerus should be treated with precise reduction and stable fixation, and early joint motion should be permitted. But stable fixation of the proximal humerus is frequently difficult to obtain in older patients due to osteoporosis and fracture comminution. We treated one case of a segmental comminuted fracture of the proximal humerus with severe osteoporosis with a method of inlay fibular autograft and fixation with a helical locking compression plate (LCP). Stable fixation was obtained, so early motion of the shoulder joint was permitted. The fracture was healed in 12 weeks after the operation without loss of fixation and there were no problems at the donor site of the fibula. Functional recovery of the shoulder was satisfactory. The result of Neer's functional score was 87 points (satisfactory) and Constant score was 83 points.

T-Plate Fixation for Two- and Three-Part Fractures of the Proximal Humerus: Dong Ju Shin, Se Ang Chang, Young Soo Byun, Dae Hee Hwang, Sung Rak Lee, Sang Hee Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):426-431. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.426

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the results and complications of treatment using T-plate fixation for two- and three-part fractures of the proximal humerus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between January 1996 and July 2003, thirty-three patients with two-part and three-part fractures of the proximal humerus were treated by T-plate fixation. There were 21 two-part fractures and 12 three-part fractures including three shoulder dislocations. The reduction was qualified and complications were assessed with final radiographs. The functional outcome was evaluated by Neer's rating system.
RESULTS
Thirty-two cases (96.7%) were united, twenty-nine cases (87.9%) were reduced as good, and twenty-three cases (70%) had excellent or satisfactory results. There were four cases of loss of reduction, three cases of stiff joint, one case of nonunion, and one case of avascular necrosis of the humeral head, but no infection. No correlation was found between the final result and the type of fracture, age, gender, or quality of reduction.
CONCLUSION
T-plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures is a reliable method to obtain good results through satisfactory reduction, rigid fixation, and early movement. Additional tension band wiring can provide stable fixation for osteoporotic or comminuted fractures difficult to obtain stable fixation.

The Operative Treatment of Nonunions of Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: Reconstruction Plate Fixation and Bone Grafting: Young Soo Byun, Chan Hoon Yoo, Hyug Su An, Seong Gun Moon, Dong Ju Shin, Jun Woo Park; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):222-229. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.222

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to present our experience with open reduction, 3.5-mm reconstruction plate fixation, bone-grafting, and postoperative early mobilization for nonunions of midshaft clavicular fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sixteen patients were treated operatively for nonunions of the midshaft of the clavicle from 1997 to 2001. Ten nonunions were atrophic and six were hypertrophic. Nonunion had been present for an average of 6.5 months. The operative technique included removing the fibrous tissue from the nonunion site and opening the medullary canal, reduction of the fracture and fixation with a 3.5-mm reconstruction plate, and bone-grafting. Postoperative mobilization started within one week.
RESULTS
The average duration of follow-up was 22.0 months. All fractures were united in an average of 10.0 weeks. All patients had full range of motion of the ipsilateral shoulder, but 3 out of 6 patients who were more than 50 years old complained occasional pain in the ipsilateral shoulder at the final follow-up examination. There were no major complications of postoperative infection, metal failure of the plate, loss of fixation, nonunion, and refracture after removal of the implant.
CONCLUSION
The technique of open reduction, reconstruction plate fixation, and bone-grafting is a safe and reliable method to allow early rehabilitation by stable fixation and to predict a high rate of union for nonunions of midshaft clavicular fractures.

Unstable Trochanteric Fractures of the Femur Treated with a Condylar Blade Plate: Young Soo Byun, Chan Hoon Yoo, Jun Mo Nam, Young Ho Cho, Dong Ju Shin; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(3):320-327. Published online July 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.3.320

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the condylar blade plate for internal fixation of unstable trochanteric fractures of the femur.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty six unstable trochanteric fractures of the femur (AO classification, 9 type A2 and 17 type A3) were treated by condylar blade plate fixation. Osteoporosis was found in 14 cases. Fractures were operated on the average 7th day after trauma and cancellous bone graft was performed in 3 fractures with severe comminution. Results were evaluated by operating time, time of fracture healing, complications, and function of the hip and walking ability at the final follow-up assessment.
RESULTS
Operating time was 123 minutes on average. All fractures were united in an average of 14.0 weeks. Complications at the fracture site were a heterotopic ossification and a refracture. Motion of the hip was limited moderately in a case with heterotopic ossification and mildly in 5 cases. Two patients used a cane and 2 patients revealed a mild limp.
CONCLUSION
Although the condylar blade plate is technically difficult to apply, it provides stable fixation to obtain good results with less complications for unstable trochanteric fractures of the femur, especially even in the presence of osteoporosis.
