Treatment of the Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur in Elderly Patients: Comparision of Wayne-County Reduction and Anatomical Reduction: Nam Yong Choi, Kee Ho Nah, Hyun Seok Song, Sang Il Seo, Jung Keun Choi, Suk Ku Han; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):301-307. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.301

PURPOSE
To compare the radiological and clinical results of Wayne-County reduction with anatomical reduction in treatment of the intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among one hundred-three of intertrochanteric fractures treated with 135- degree angled compression hip scresw, eighty three cases treated by Wayne-County reduction (Group 1, 42 cases) and anatomical reduction (Group 2, 41 cases) with at least 1 year follow-up were reviewed. The average pateint ages were 72.4 (65~92) in group 1, 71.6 (65~89) in group 2, respectively. 33 cases (75.2%) in group 1 and 31 cases (77.5%) displayed unstable fractures by Jensen classification. The radiological observation was included neck-shaft angle, penetrating length of lag screw into head, sliding length of lag screw and time of bony union. The clinical results were evaluated by Koval criteria, Kyle's functional evaluation, leg length inequality and complications.
RESULTS
There were no significant changes between group 1 and group 2 in stable fractures in the radiological and clinical results. In unstable fractures, the neck-shaft angle averaged 132.2 degree in group 1 and 129.4 degree in group 2 in the final follow-up films. The penetrating length of lag screw into head were 2.2 mm in group 1 and 3.1 mm in group 2 (p<005). But there were little differences in the sliding length of lag screw, the time of bony union and complication rates between groups. In post- operative evaluation of walking abilility by Koval, 31 patients (73.8%) in group 1 and 28 (68.3%) recovered the activity level before injury by the postoperative 1 year follow-up. Leg length discrepancy at final follow-up was 4.1+/-6 mm shortening in group 1 and 6.5+/-8 mm in group 2, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Both Wayne-County reduction and anatomical reduction had a favorable results after treatment of stable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, but Wayne-County reduction may be a better method in treatment of unstable fractures, especially in elderly patients, in which it is difficult to obtain anatomical reduction.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) on the Healing of Allograft for the Treatment of Segmental Bone Defect of the Ulna in Rabbits: Joo Hyun Song, Jinyoung Jeong, Yong Koo Kang, Han Yong Lee, Mun Ik Son, Sang Il Seo; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(3):416-422. Published online July 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.3.416

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) on the healing of the allograft for the treatment of the segmental bone defect of the ulna in Rabbits.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
About 2 cm-sized segmental bone defects were created on both ulna of twenty rabbits. The rabbits were divided into two groups, even and odd number group after numbering them from 1 to 20. The segmental bone from the odd numbered animal was transplanted to the even numbered animal, and the even numbered to the odd numbered. The left side of the ulna of the animal is grafted with a segmental allograft only. The right side of the ulna was grafted with a segmental allograft and 0.7 cc of PRP. Radiographs obtained at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively were graded for radiologic union.
RESULTS
The use of the combination of PRP and segmental allograft demonstrated improved healing on radiolographic study compared with that demonstrated after use of allogrft alone.
CONCLUSION
The results of the study suggests that the use of the combination of PRP and segmental allograft can be considered as an alternative method to manage the segmental defect of the long bone.
