- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to analyze the surgical results of 11 patients who underwent posterior instrumentation and anterior interbody fusion using titanium mesh vertebral ring(MOSS) in osteoporotic vertebral fracture.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: From May 1997 to July 1999, we checked plain radiographs every 3 months and evaluated the change of kyphotic angle, fusion rate, change of clinical, neurologic symptoms and complications of these patients.
RESULTS
There were only average 0.2 degree correction of preoperative kyphotic angle at last follow-up X-ray. However, we confirmed successful bony fusion at nine of eleven patients(82%) and ten of eleven patients(90.9%) got satisfactory clinical results. Four patients with neurologic symptoms have recovered from their original neurologic status. Only one patient reoperated her back because of displacement of surgical device used in previous operation.
CONCLUSION
Among the surgical treatment methods in osteoporotic vertebral fractures, posterior instrumentation and anterior interbody fusion using titanium mesh vertebral ring(MOSS) is recommended as one of the effective surgical methods in severe osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
PDF
- A periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fracture is one of the complications of the total knee arthroplasty(TKA). The periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fracture after TKA occurs approximately 0.3% to 2.5% and various methods have been introduced to treat this fracture. We report three cases of supracondylar femoral fractures following TKA, with brief review of pertinent literatures, in which retrograde supracondylar intramedullary nail provided satisfactory results. In severe osteoporotic patient, firm fixation of the nail was obtained by using cement and early motion of the knee joint was possible. In addition, we found that the supracondylar intramedullary nail could be used without insertion difficulty in all PCL retaining TKA systems which were available in use in our country.
