 Abstract
 PDF
- Traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation in association with fracture of the lateral process of the talus is a rare injury, which is difficult to diagnose. As a result, early detection is often delayed, which in turn leads to ankle pain and dysfunction. We treated a patient by open reduction and screw fixation in fracture of the lateral process of talus and primary repair of the superior peroneal retinaculum. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

- PURPOSE
To assess the effectiveness of optimal treatment of proximal humeral fractures and humeral shaft fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis using the Polarus nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty-three patients with proximal humeral and humeral shaft fractures in elderly osteoporosis patients were treated using the Polarus intramedullary nail. Nine patients had proximal humeral fracture, 10 had humeral shaft fracture and 4 had the proximal humeral frac-ture extended diaphyseally. Radiological outcomes included the bone-union and the degree of re-sidual deformity. The residual deformities of the proximal humerus were assessed by the neck-shaft angle and the shaft angulation. Clinical outcome was assessed with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score.
RESULTS
All cases had bony union and the mean union period was 16.5 weeks. The average neck/shaft alignment at the time of bone union was 135degrees and varus deformities of neck-shaft angle was not seen in all patients. Varus shaft angulation was seen in 5 patients. The mean ASES score after surgery was 86.7 points.
CONCLUSION
The Polarus intramedullary nail is effective for the treatment of proximal humeral and humeral shaft fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis because it not only enables early postoperative mobilization, but also obtains bone-union without avascular necrosis and nonunion.

Abstract

- PURPOSE
To report on the complications of hook-plate fixation for distal clavicle fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eighteen patients who underwent surgery for distal clavicle fracture with a hook-plate from April 2008 to April 2011 were enrolled with a minimum of 4 months follow-up. The reduction was qualified and evaluated according to the radiologic findings. We analyzed the results by UCLA score, Kona's functional evaluation, and VAS pain score.
RESULTS
By radiologic evaluation, 17 of 18 cases showed anatomical reduction and solid unions. Although satisfactory results were found in the clinical study as shown by the UCLA score, Kona's functional evaluation, and VAS pain score, complications arose in 7 cases, including osteolysis of the acromion in 2 cases, nonunion in 1 case, periprosthetic fracture in 2 cases, subacromial pain in 1 case, and skin irritation in 1 case. 2 cases of all required reoperation.
CONCLUSION
To reduce the complications of the hook-plate, a precise surgical technique and the choice of an appropriate size for the hook-plate are needed. We suggest that early removal of the plate is necessary to decrease the risk of subacromial impingement and erosion in hook-plate fixation.

Abstract

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the result of distal clavicle fracture treated by Hook plate (LCP clavicle hook plate, Synthes(R), Paoli, Switzerland).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
10 patients with distal clavicle fracture treated by Hook plate from April 2008 to March 2010 were analyzed. The average follow-up period was 10 (range 4 to 26) months. The reduction was qualified and evaluated according to the immediate post-operative, final radiographs. We analyze the result by UCLA score and Kona's functional evaluation.
RESULTS
By radiologic evaluation, all cases showed anatomical reduction and solid union. By Kona's functional evaluation, there are 7 cases with excellent results, 3 cases with good results. The UCLA score was average 33.3 (range 29 to 35) points followed by 6 excellent cases, 4 good cases. As complication, 1 case showed post-operative clavicle shaft fracture and 1 case showed acromial osteolysis on X-rays. We found no complications such as skin irritation, infection, loosening of screws, and plate failure.
CONCLUSION
The Hook plate fixation for distal clavicle fracture is considered effective method for satisfactory reduction and rigid fixation, a lower incidence of nonunion and excellent clinical result.
