The Efficiency of Additional Fixation of the Alternative Bone Substitute in Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur Treated with Gamma Nail: Jong Oh Kim, Young One Ko, Mi Hyun Song; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):1-6. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.1

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficiency of additional fixation of the alternative bone substitute in unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated with gamma nail and alternative bone substitute and only with gamma nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Radiologic comparison was done between forty-four patients of unstable intertrochanteric fracture (AO type A2.2, A2.3) during six months. The patients were divided into two groups, a group treated with gamma nail and alternative bone substitute (22 patients, group 1) and another group treated only with gamma nail (22 patients, group 2). Postoperative reduction status, Cleveland index, Tip-apex distance and complications during the follow-up period was compared. Lag screw slippage and femoral neck-shaft angle change were measured between two groups.
RESULTS
No significant difference of reduction status, Cleveland index and Tip-apex distance was found. In group II, there was a 1 more case of cutting-out of the lag screw, but also there was a significant difference. Lesser change in lag screw slippage and neck-shaft angle change was investigated.
CONCLUSION
As there are lesser lag screw slippage and neck-shaft angle change, alternative bone substitutes applied in unstable intertrochanteric fractures seems to be useful in maintaining reduction and preventing failure of internal fixation when proper reduction and screw insertion is performed.

PURPOSE
To evaluate clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of femur intertrochantenric fracture using Gamma 3 nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
With clinical study, 22 patients who were treated surgically by Gamma 3 nail were retrospectively evaluated. By postoperative radiograph and last follow up radiograph we measured Tip-apex distance, Cleveland index, Neck-shaft angle change Lag screw slippage and Union time. And By medical record review, the clinical results were evaluated with the operation time, intraperative estimated blood loss, amount of transfusion, change of mobility and complication.
RESULTS
The mean change of femur neck shaft angle was 5.18 degrees. The mean lag screw sliding was 5.43 mm. The mean bone union time was 11.8 weeks. From all of these examples shows bone union. The mean operative time was 41 min, blood loss was 161 ml and the transfusion amount was 0.3 pint. In Ceder et al mobility score, it showed 0.2 point decreased and in Jensen social function score, it showed 0.6 point increased. Comparing the results before and after operation, the results were satisfactory.
CONCLUSION
Using the Gamma 3 nail, the treatment of fermur intertrochanteric fractures showed good results both radiologically and clinically.

Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.16

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
We evaluated the usefulness of the cementless stem in treating hip fracture patients older than 70.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We studied elderly osteoporotic hip fractures in the neck and intertrochanter area who had received hip arthroplasty with over 2 years of follow up period. Among those, we analyzed the clinical and radiological results of hip arthroplasty with cemented stem (group 1) and hip arthroplasty with cementless stem (group 2). Each group was consists of fifty hips.
RESULTS
The mean age at surgery was 75 years and mean follow-up period was 40 months (minimum 24 months). The admission period was 28.68+/-8.8 days for group 1 and 28.05+/-8.7 days for group 2 (p>0.05) and the average operation time was 87+/-21.2 minutes, and 80+/-17 minutes (p>0.05) and the total blood loss was 611+/-141.3 cc and 557+/-120.5 cc (p>0.05) respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in all aspects. One case of pulmonary embolism occurred in group 1. Stem loosening was not observed in both groups at the last follow-up radiologic study.
CONCLUSION
The hip arthroplasty with cementless stem for the osteoporotic hip fractures showed a competent results clinically and radiologically in short term follow up as compared with the cemented stem.

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Proximal Tibial Shaft Fracture: Young Soo Byun, Ki Chul Park, Hyun Jong Bong, Chang Hoon Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):23-27. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.23

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To report the results of patients treated by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for proximal tibial shaft fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From September 2003 to June 2008, thirty-two patients with proximal tibial shaft fractures weretreated by MIPO. There were 22 men and 10 women and mean age was 43.8 years (range; 21~72 years). Follow-up was available for all patients and the mean follow-up period was 19.5 months (range; 12~40 months). Duration of union, range of knee motion and postoperative complications were evaluated.
RESULTS
Twenty-nine patients (90.6%) healed after the MIPO technique. The mean duration of radiographic union was 18.3 weeks (range; 10~28 weeks). The mean range of knee motion was 134 degrees at the last follow-up. There were 1 non-union, 2 delayed unions, 1 superficial infection, 1 deep infection, 2 malunions with more than 5 degrees of malalignment and 14 cases of skin irritation by plate.
CONCLUSION
MIPO is an effective treatment for closed, proximal tibialshaft fractures. More aggressive treatment such as dual plating should be considered in fractures with severe comminution or bone loss.

Anterior Knee Pain after Intramedullary Nailing for Tibial Shaft Fractures: Suk Kyu Choo, Hyoung Keun Oh, Hyun Woo Choi, Jae Gwang Song; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):28-32. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.28

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To analyze the possible causes and incidence of the chronic anterior knee pain follow after closed intramedullary nailing for the tibial shaft fractures, in a retrospective aspect.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
52 patients who treated with intramedullary nailing for the tibial shaft fractures from January 2001 to October 2008 were reviewed. We analyzed the relationship between knee pain and the variables (sex, age, types of fracture, protrusion extent of intramedullary nailing on proximal tibia). The aspects of pain, its onset and relieving time, and how much it influences on daily living were analyzed retrospectively. For categorical variables, group variences were estimated using Chi-square test.
RESULTS
34 patients of 52 (65%) complaint of anterior knee pain followed after intramedullary nailing, and there were no statistical differences between pain and sex/age (p>0.05). Incidence of anterior knee pain becomes higher as the severity of fracture increases, but there was no statistical difference between pain and intramedullary nailing protrusion. Pain severity was mostly not influencing on daily living, and it mostly responded to conservative treatment.
CONCLUSION
The incidence of anterior knee pain followed after intramedullary nailing was 65%, and its severity was mostly not influencing on daily living. There were no significant differences between pain and sex, age, protrusion extent of intramedullary nailing on proximal tibia, but as the severity of frature increases, the incidence of anterior knee pain became higher.

Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis with Locking Compression Plate for Distal Tibia Fractures: Sung Kyu Kim, Keun Bae Lee, Keun Young Lim, Eun Sun Moon; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):33-40. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.33

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the outcome of minimally invasive osteosynthesis using locking compression plate for distal tibia fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Forty five patients (45 cases) who underwent minimally invasive osteosynthesis using locking compression plate for distal tibia fractures between January 2006 and June 2008, were followed for more than one year. The average duration of the follow-up was 30.5 months (12~54 months). The fracture types were as followed: 26 cases (58%) of extraarticular fractures, 19 cases (42%) of intraarticular fractures, and 16 cases (36%) of open fractures.
RESULTS
All patients achieved bone union at average of 21weeks (12~36 weeks). The average American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scales was 84.6 points (65~100 points) and range of ankle motion averaged at 46.5 degrees (20~60 degrees). Complications included 6 cases of superficial infection, 3 cases of malalignment and 5 cases of skin irritation by plate. There were no cases of deep infection, skin necrosis, shortening and metal breakage.
CONCLUSION
Minimally invasive osteosynthesis using locking compression plate for distal tibia fractures is considered to be an effective method with high healing rate, rapid functional recovery and low complication rate due to minimal disruption of bone and soft tissue biology and improved fixation strength.

Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.41

Abstract PDF

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.

Abstract PDF

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.

Comparison of Results of Tension Band Wire and Hook Plate in the Treatment of Unstable Fractures of the Distal Clavicle: Chul Hyun Park, Oog Jin Shon, Jae Sung Seo; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):55-59. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.55

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of two surgical methods with tension band wire and Hook plate for unstable distal clavicle fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty patients with type II distal clavicle fractures were evaluated, who were operated with tension band wire (Group I) and Hook plate (Group II) fixation, from June 2005 to June 2009, and could be followed-up for more than 1 year after operation. The reduction and union were evaluated by the immediate post-operative and final radiographs. The functional outcome was evaluated by Kona's system and Constant-Murley scoring system.
RESULTS
All 30 cases showed bony union. By Kona's functional evaluation, there were 16 cases with excellent and good results in Group I and 14 cases in Group II. The average Constant score was 88.3 (71~100) in Group I and 89.6 (72~100) in Group II, but there was no significant difference in both groups. As complications, there were 2 case with subacromial impingement, and 1 case showed subacromial erosion. There was no K-wire migration, deep infection and acromioclavicular joint arthritis.
CONCLUSION
Tension band and Hook plate fixation technique gave satisfactory clinical and radiological results in patients with type II distal clavicle fractures. These results suggest that tension band wire and Hook plate fixation technique seems to be an effective method for type II distal clavicle fracture. But we think thal early removal of plate is necessary due to risks for subacromial impingement and erosion in Hook plate fixation.

Comparison of Early Fixation and Late Fusion of 4, 5th Carpometacarpal Joint in the Intra-Articular Fractures of 4th and 5th Metacarpal Base: Chang Ho Yi, Jin Rok Oh; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):60-66. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.60

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate clinical results between early fixation group and delayed fusion group in treatment of intraarticular fracture of 4th, 5th metacarpal base.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From March 2002 to December 2006, 21 cases of early fusion and 11 cases of delayed fusion of 4, 5th carpometacarpal joint were reviewed retrospectively or were included in this study. Average follow up period is 39.9 months. Bony union was checked by plain films at follow up. DASH-questionnaire, VAS pain scale, grip power and range of motion of 4th, 5th metacarpophalangeal joint were also checked at last follow up.
RESULTS
In radiologic study, bony union was confirmed in all cases of two groups. Early fixation group showed better outcomes than delayed fusion group in range of motion, DASH-questionnaire and VAS pain scale with statistical significant (p<0.004).
CONCLUSION
Because early fixation group showed better clinical outcomes than delayed fusion group, early diagnosis and proper surgical treatment are important for better outcomes in treatment of intraarticular fracture of 4th, 5th metacarpal base.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate radiological and clinical results of the antegrade intramedullary prebent K-wire fixation for the 5th metacarpal neck fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between January, 2006 and December, 2009, 31 patients with displaced neck fracture of the fifth metacarpal who received antegrade intramedullary prebent K-wire fixation were included in this study. Radiological and clinical outcome evaluations were performed.
RESULTS
All the fractures were completely united. In the oblique radiographs, the average of preoperative angulation was corrected from 38.9degrees to 4.4degrees. The average difference between postoperative and final follow-up was 1.2degrees. Clinical outcomes were satisfactory except for one patient who had sustained ulnar nerve dorsal branch injury during surgery.
CONCLUSION
Antegrade intramedullary prebent K-wire fixation may be preferentially considered as one of the best ways to fix the displaced neck fractures of the fifth metacarpal.

Interposition of Periosteum in Distal Tibial Physeal Fractures of Children: Phil Hyun Chung, Suk Kang, Jong Pil Kim, Young Sung Kim, Jae Woo Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):73-78. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.73

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the factors influencing periosteal interposition in distal tibial physeal fractures of children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
34 cases of distal tibial physeal fractures were analysed. We confirmed the presence of periosteal interposition with MRI in all cases and accessed the relationship between periosteal interposition and gender, age, cause of injury, type of fracture, degree of initial displacement and after closed reduction.
RESULTS
9 (26.5%) of 34 fractures had interposed periosteum. There was no statistically significant correlation between periosteal interposition and gender, age, cause of injury (p>0.05). 5 (83.3%) of 6 pronation-eversion-external rotation type of fractures according to Dias-Tachjian classification had interposed periosteum and that was a statistically significant correlation (p=0.006). As Salter-Harris type was toward to high degree, there were decreasing tendency of periosteal interposition (p=0.026). There was high rate of periosteal interposition in case of displacement more than 2 mm in each initial and after closed reduction (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
There was high incidence of periosteal interposition in pronation-eversion-external rotation type with displacement more than 2 mm in distal tibial physeal fractures of children. But, periosteal interposition could occur in fractures with mild displacement less than 2 mm, if initial fracture displacement was more than 2 mm, the methods of treatment should be decided after confirm the presence of periosteal interposition with MRI after closed reduction.

Lateral Positioning for Proximal Femoral Nailing of the Intertrochanteric Fracture: Surgical Technique: Kwan Hee Lee, Hoon Jeong, Jong Kyoung Ha, Yong Ju Kim, Won Hee Jang; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):79-82. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.79

Abstract PDF

In the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures, most of intramedullary nailings are performed on a fracture table in supine position. In supine position, however, soft tissue mass of the patients and drapes make it difficult to access to the piriformis fossa and to straighten the trajectory of reamer and nail insertion. To resolve these problems, we have treated twenty intertrochanteric fractures in lateral position on the general operation table with IM nail. Adjustment of the position of lag screw in femoral head was done with the technique that overlaps the shadows of the femoral head, nail and targeting guide in the lateral view. Because the entire injured limb can be moved readily, it was easy to reduce fracture and to convert to open procedure. In cases likely that the fracture table is unavailable in which patients are obese, have short stature or are amputated, and that open procedure is strongly likelihood, lateral position will be helpful technique in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures with IM nail.

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for the Upper Extremity Fracture Using a Lumbar Spreader: Surgical Technique: Gu Hee Jung, Chyul Hyun Cho, Jae Do Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):83-86. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.83

Abstract PDF: The minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) which is extensively performed, is very dependent on the indirect reduction technique to prevent the exposure of fracture sites. Indirect reduction with the use of the femoral distractor is a much more efficient technique to restore the length in the fracture of lower limbs. However, the femoral distractor cannot be used for fracture of upper limbs, and other instruments for indirect reduction have not yet been reported. Therefore, we introduce the novel indirect reduction technique with the use of the lumbar spreader for the MIPO of upper limbs.
