Abstract
PDF
- After distal radius fracture, delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus is rare. It is known that delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon result from undisplaced distal radius fracture. We have experienced a case of rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after undisplaced distal radius fracture, and treated with palmaris longus tendon graft. the result were satisfactory without complications.

Abstract
PDF
- From January 1991 to August 1996, we experienced 17 cases of metal failure among 150 cases of plate fixation of femur fracture.
We analyzed the cases and obtained the following results: 1. Among 17 cases, 15 cases were closed fracture and 2 cases were open fracture. In 11 cases, the fractures were located on the midshaft of femur and most of them was segmental or comminuted. According to AO classification, 14 cases(82%) were type B(B1:1, B2:4) and C(C1:7, C3:2).
2. The interval between initial operation and metal failure was 8 months on average.
3. The cause of metal failure were bone defect remaining after initial operation, fragment necrosis due to periosteal denuding of large free bone fragments, early weight bearing, selection of inappropriate implants and improper operation technique.
4. Plate breakages were occured in 11 cases and screw fractures and screw loosening in 6 cases. Most of plate breakage was due to remaining bone defects, and most of screw fractures and loosening was due to inappropriate implants and improper operation techinque.
In conclusion, accurate preoperative evaluation on the fracture site, fracture pattern and appropriate selection of internal fixative are important for proper bone healing. Based upon our result, we suggest semiopen technique with minimal soft tissue injury and initial early bone graft for bone defect.

Abstract
PDF
- The diaphyseal fractures of radius and ulnar have many problems like nonunion, malunion and functional disturbance with conservative treatment. Therefore, open anatomical reduction and rigid internal fixation have been widely used. The plate fixation has been employed in most both forearm bone fractures and the intramedullary pinning usually used in cases of the open fractures, comminuted types, multiple fractures or poor general conditions. Seventeen patients were treated with semitubular plate and eighteen cases by the closed or open reduction and intramedullary fixation with Rush pin(the operation methods were decised alternatively) were followed up more than one year at Soonchunhyang Gumi Hospital from June 1988 to Nov. 1992 and the results were compared and analyzed clinically.
1. Those two groups were demographically similar.
2. The operation time was 65 minites in Rush pin group, 85.6 minutes in plate group and the blood loss was 37.1cc in Rush pin group,85.3cc in plate group.
3. The immobilization period and the radiologic bone union time did not differentiate two groups significantly.
4. In plated group, one nonunion and one radius refracture after union(plate removed state) were occurred.
5. Between the two operatio methods selected alternatively, immobilization period, radiologic bone union and functional results were not different significantly, but the Rush pinning method was preferred due to simple operation technique, small operation scars, short operation time, a little blood ioss, a few complications.
