Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Comminuted Subtrochanteric Fracture of the Femur: Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, Sung Jung Kim, Shin Yoon Kim, Seung Hoon Baek, In Ho Jeon, Poong Taek Kim, Sang Won Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):407-411. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.407

PURPOSE
To evaluate the outcomes of patients with comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twelve patients with a mean age of 38.2 years, who sustained comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures, were treated using MIPO technique. All patients suffered these fractures either from traffic accidents (6) or falls from height (6). Average follow-up was 4.3 years (range, 29~78 months). Patients were assessed radiographically and clinically with regards to time to union, malunion, and complications. According to the Seinsheimer's classification, there were 1 type III, 7 type IV, and 4 type V. Type C fractures were ten according to AO-OTA classification.
RESULTS
Union was achieved in 7 of 12 cases, in an average of 23.4 weeks (range, 12~42 weeks). Three definite non-unions with implant failures, needed the procedure of implant change and bone graft. In other two patients, early bone graft was performed for anticipated nonunion of comminuted area. The most common complication was metal failures (2 plate failures and 3 screw breakages). Limb length shortening of 1.5 cm occurred in one patient, and external rotation malunion of 15 degrees was noted in one patient. No patients developed infection.
CONCLUSION
Preserving biology of the fracture fragments, the use of MIPO technique using DCS has proven to be less successful in comminuted subtrochanteric fractures, comparing to fractures in other areas. To avoid mechanical failure, the careful and protective weight bearing is needed until the callus-bridging is seen in the commniuted area.

Primary Subtalar Arthrodesis for the Treatment of Intra-articular Calcaneal Comminuted Fractures: Hong Geun Jung, Yu Jin Kim, Suk Ha Jeon; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):418-423. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.418

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the functional outcomes of the severely comminuted intra-articular calcaneal fractures that were selectively treated with primary subtalar arthrodesis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study is based on the 9 patients, 10 feet of intra-articular severely comminuted calcaneal fractures that were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with primary subtalar arthrodesis due to inability to reconstruct the subtalar articular surface with follow-up of more than 1 year. Postoperative clinical evaluation was performed with AOFAS Hindfoot functional scores. The patient satisfaction, returning to previous occupation and complications were also investigated.
RESULTS
Follow-up period was average 20.3 months. Overall AOFAS functional score at final follow-up was average 71.8 points and VAS pain score was 3.9. Fifty percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery and 80% of the patients were able to return to their previous occupations at average 8.4 months after trauma. Post-operative complications were 2 cases of sural nerve injuries and 1 hindfoot valgus malunion.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that the primary subtalar arthrodesis is a viable surgical option for severely comminuted calcaneal fractures with favorable functional result and early returning of most patients to their previous occupations.

The Treatement of the Unstable Proximal Humerus Fracture Using Bifurcate Angled Blade Plate with Tension Band Wiring: Kuen Tak Suh, Hyoung Lok Roh, Myung Soo Youn, Jung Sub Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):424-430. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.424

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of internal fixation with bifurcate angled blade plate and tension band wiring of greater tuberosity or rotator cuff for the unstable proximal humerus fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nineteen cases of unstable proximal humerus fracture who were followed up for more than 1 year were treated using bifurcate angled blade plate and tension band wiring between March 2003 and March 2005. Average age of the patients was 46.5 years (range, 24 to 69), and there were 9 male and 10 female patients. The radiological results were evaluated by bony union and neck shaft angle. In addition, the clinical results were evaluated by Neer's evaluation criteria.
RESULTS
In 18 out of 19 cases, bony union was obtained in average 12.5 weeks after operation. The neck shaft angles of sixteen cases were between 120 and 140 degrees by Paavolainen method. According to Neer's evaluation criteria, 17 cases showed excellent or good results.
CONCLUSION
The patients treated using bifurcate angled blade plate and tension band wiring could exercise earlier because of good initial stability. Also, the radiological and clinical results were relatively good. The treatment of unstable proximal humerus fracture with bifurcate angled blade plate and tension band wiring was considered as a good method.

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiological result of surgical treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation, using modified Phemister technique with tension band wiring.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We chose 17 patients who were able to follow up 1 year or more among the patients who were diagnosed as acromioclavicular joint dislocation in our hospital through January 2000 to Feburary 2005 and took modified Phemister technique with tension band wiring. Evaluation of the surgical results was done with the condition of pain, activity of daily living, range of motion, muscle tone by constant score system, and with preoperative, postoperative and last follow up radiographs.
RESULTS
Clinical evaluation was average 92 point by Constant score system from 84 point to 100 point. Subjective evaluation was 11 excellent (65%), 6 good (35%). Radiological evaluation was 9 excellent (54%), 6 good (38%), 2 fair (12%), and no poor group. On the final follow up, two cases showed inflammatory reaction at where pins were inserted, but after the removal of the pins, the inflammation was subsided.
CONCLUSION
The modified Phemister surgery for acromioclavicular dislocation is one of effective techniques, we can obtain firm fixation, exercise full range of motion early and there is no complication of re-dislocation.

The Fractures of Humerus Shaft and Medial Epicondyle by Arm Wrestling: Yeo Hun Yoon, Jong Kyung Ha, Kyung Eob Choi, Kwan Hee Lee, Sang Jin Shin; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):437-442. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.437

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the mechanism of the humeral fractures induced by arm wrestling and the clinical results of its treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
We reviewed 7 humeral fractures induced by arm wrestling; 3 humeral shaft fractures, 4 humeral medial epicondyle fractures. The mechanism of the fractures and the clinical results were assessed by history and radiographs.
RESULTS
Shaft fractures were produced by twist and axial compression force. Humeral medial epicondyle fractures were the avulsion fractures by excessive contraction of flexor muscles and developed in young age. We operated 6 of them and in all cases, we could obtain fracture healings without complication.
CONCLUSION
The humeral fractures induced by arm wrestling have the differences in the ages and mechanisms as to the locations of the fractures and if the proper treatment is performed, the clinical results are satisfactory.

Treatment of Intercondylar Fractures of Humerus with Y-plate: Jin Young Park, Joong Bae Seo, Ji Yong Chun, Myoung Ho Kim, Sang Hyuk Min, Joo Hong Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):443-448. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.443

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the humerus using Y-plate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The subjects were 17 patients with intercondylar fracture of humerus who were treated using the Y-plate. Nine cases were C1 type, 4 were C2 type, and the remaining 4 were C3 type. 11 subjects had accompanying fractures of another part of the body. The average age was 48.8. The average follow up period was 33 months. We used Mayo Elbow Performance Score and Risborough-Radin's rating score for each patient as the methods of rating.
RESULTS
The average range of motion of the elbow was 105 degrees (50~150 degrees). According to Cassebaum's classification for elbow range of motion, 7 cases were rated very good, 1 cases were good, 4 cases were fair, and 1 cases were poor. According to Mayo Elbow Performance Score, 7 were excellent, 7 were good, 2 fair, and 1 poor. Of the 3 patients who were fair or poor in Mayo Elbow Performance Score, 2 were type C3 fractures, and all 3 had major accompanying fractures. No significant postoperative complications developed in all cases.
CONCLUSION
The fixation with Y-plate can still be a relatively good modality of treatment for interconylar fractures of the humerus in selected cases, in spite of the known mechanical weakness of the Y-plate. The patients with severe intra-articular comminution showed relatively poor results. And we think that the age of the patient and the energy of the injury have more or less influence on the results of treatment.

The Operative Treatment of Radial Head or Neck Fracture: The Sub-classification of Mason Type II Fracture: Hyun Dae Shin, Kyung Cheon Kim, Se Min Woo, Yong Bum Joo, Dong Kyu Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):449-453. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.449

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of treatment according to the sub-classification of the Mason type II fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From 1999 to 2003, according to the sub-classification of the Mason type II fracture, 33 patients were treated with miniplate in displaced neck fracture (IIa), with compression screw in displaced head fracture (IIb), with miniplate and/or compression screw in displaced head and neck fracture (IIc), with compression screw and miniplate in comminution fracture (III) or excision of head in irreducible state. The clinical results were evaluated by An and Morrey's functional rating index.
RESULTS
Functional rate score averaged 92.7 in type IIa, 88.4 in IIb, 86.4 in IIc, 83.5 in type III with reduced fracture, 75.0 in type III with excised head, and 75.5 in type IV. Complications included heterotopic ossification (2 cases), metal loosening (1 case), malunion (1 case), partial ankylosis of elbow (3 cases), posttraumatic arthritis (1 case).
CONCLUSION
These results supported the recommendation for internal fixation with compression screw in isolated radial head fracture (IIb) and with miniplate in fracuture combined with displaced neck (IIa, IIc, indicated some III). We concluded that sub-classification is useful for dicision making in radial head or neck fracture's treatment.

Radiologic Reduction Loss after Surgical Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture: Heun Guyn Jung, Jin Bae Choi, Seung Yong Seo, Yong Soo Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):454-459. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.454

Abstract: PURPOSE
To compare and analyse radiologic reduction loss between fixation with K-wire only group and fixation with K-wire and external fixator group for surgical treatment of distal radial fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
We analysed 60 patients who received the operative treatment with K-wire fixation only or K-wire and external fixator and also were in regular follow up at least one year. We compared radiologic reduction loss of radial length, radial inclination and volar tilt between immediate post-operative radiograph and latest follow up radiograph according to operative methods, fracture patterns and age groups.
RESULTS
Reduction loss of volar tilt was greater in fixation with K-wire only group than fixation with K-wire and external fixator group (p<0.05). Reduction losses of radial length and radial inclination were more in intra-articular subgroup than extra-articular subgroup in fixation with K-wire only group (p<0.05). No significant difference of reduction loss was noted between intra-articular and extra-articular subgroups in fixation with K-wire and external fixator group.
CONCLUSION
More radiologic reduction loss can be expected in fixation with K-wire only group for intra-articular distal radius fracture compared with extra-articular distal radius fracture. Additional external fixation should be added in intra-articular distal radius fracture to reduce radiologic reduction loss.

Treatment of Displaced Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus in Children: Soon Hyuck Lee, Sang Won Park, Woong Kyo Jeong, Dae Hee Lee, Soon Yong Yoo; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):460-465. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.460

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes after operative treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures in children with lateral K-wire fixation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
69 displaced supracondylar fractures treated by closed reduction and percutaneous lateral K-wire fixation were included in this study. Carrying angle and range of motion were measured and graded by the Flynn criteria. To assess the accuracy of the reduction, Baumann angle and lateral humerocapital angles were compared to the contralateral side, and to evaluate the stability of fixation both measurements were taken immediately postoperatively and after K-wire removal.
RESULTS
55 cases (80%) were categorized as excellent and 12 cases (17%) as good. There were no significant statistical differences in Baumann angle and lateral humerocapital angle between postoperative and K-wire removal. Although there were 9 cases that showed differences in Baumann angle and 32 cases in lateral humerocapital angle of more than 10 degrees compared to the opposite side at the immediate postoperative radiograph, 9 cases showed satisfactory clinical results.
CONCLUSION
Closed reduction and lateral K-wire fixation is considered as an acceptable modality of the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures in children, and clinical outcome is more closely correlated with carrying angle and stability of fracture site rather than rotational deformity or hyperextension of fragment measured radiographically.

Lateral Condylar Fracture of the Humerus in Children: An Epidemiological Analysis of 158 Cases: Chul Hyun Cho, Kwang Soon Song, Sung Won Sohn, Ki Chul Bae, Jung Hoon Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):466-470. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.466

Abstract

PURPOSE
To analyze the correlation of various factors by examining the epidemiology of lateral condylar fracture of the humerus which is the second most fracture among elbow fractures in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Of 158 cases treated for lateral condylar fracture of the humerus in children from April 1996 to March 2006, their age and sex distribution, the seasonal frequency, etiology, type of fracture, method of treatment, etc. were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS
Boys were 113 cases, girls were 45 cases, and the mean age was 5.4 years. Regarding the seasonal occurrence, spring 43 cases, summer 44 cases, autumn 48 cases, and winter 23 cases had occurred. It occurred preferentially during the season when outdoor activity was most active. As its etiology, the accident in a playground was 39 cases, sports activity was 32 cases, traffic accident was 17 cases, slipping accident at home was 15 cases, falling accident at home was 14 cases, slip while playing with friends was 6 cases, a missing step while walking on stairs was 6 cases, fall from a height more than 2 floors was 4 cases, and the cases with unknown cause were 25 cases. According to the Jakob stage, the stage I was 42 cases, the stage II 77 cases, and the stage III was 39 cases. As treatment, cast immobilization was performed in 34 cases, closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation was performed in 68 cases, and open reduction and K-wire fixation was performed in 56 cases. The prevalent causalities were play devices, accident during sports activity, and traffic accident, and in such cases, the displacement of fracture was severe and thus surgical treatments were performed in many cases (94%).
CONCLUSION
It is thought that during the season when outdoor action is active, particularly, for kindergarten children or the lower grade primary school children, safety education is required to prevent the fracture by play devices, sports activity and traffic accident.

Comparison of Uniportal and Biportal Vertebroplasty in Bone Cement Distribution and Leakage: Jae Hyup Lee, Kang Sup Yoon, Seung Baik Kang, Hyunchul Jo, Sang Ki Lee, Bong Soon Chang, Choon Ki Lee, Ji Ho Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):471-476. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.471

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the differences of radiological outcomes of uniportal and biportal vertebroplasty in the point of bone cement distribution and leakage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A retrospective study reviewing the period between May 2002 and January 2006 investigated 100 vertebrae which underwent vertebroplasty and followed for more than three months by uniportal approach (55 vertebrae, group 1) and biportal approach (45 vertebrae, group 2). The operative time, the amount of bone cement injected, anterior vertebral height restoration, kyphotic angle, bone cement distribution, and bone cement leakage were evaluated.
RESULTS
The amount of injected bone cement of group 1 (3.9 cc) was statistically smaller than that of group 2 (5.1 cc) (p=0.016). There were no significant differences in the operative time, anterior vertebral height restoration, kyphotic angle in both groups. The rate of bone cement distribution over 8 zones was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (p=0.014). However, the rate of bone cement distribution over 7 zones and the rate of bone cement distributed on whole anterior vertebral body were not significantly different in both groups. The cement leakage was not also significantly different in both groups.
CONCLUSION
Although the amount of injected bone cement was smaller in uniportal vertebroplasty, the radiological results and cement leakage were similar to biportal vertebroplasty. These findings suggest that uniportal vertebroplasty can be the operative options in osteoporotic vertebral fracture.

Radiological Landmarks for the Assessment of the Alignment in the Use of the LCP-PLT (Locking Compression Plate-Proximal Lateral Tibia): An Anatomical and Radiological Study: Jong Keon Oh, Chang Wug Oh, Kwon Jae Roh, Hoon Sang Sohn; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):477-481. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.477

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the conformity of the anatomically pre-shaped LCP-PT to the tibias of the Korean adult and to identify radiological guidelines to assist intraoperative assessment of correct alignment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
30 adult femur obtained from the Korean adult cadaver were used. A nine or eleven-hole LCP-DF was applied to the lateral surface of the tibia according to the contour. Then the distance from the inner surface of the plate to the lateral condyle was measured at the sites of mismatch. The angle between the most proximal screw and the articular surface was measured with the image intensifier.
RESULTS
The LCP-PT showed good conformity to the tibia in general. The distance from the inner surface of the plate to the lateral condyle was 3.5mm in average (range 0~9). The angle between the most proximal locking screw and the joint line was 1.16 degrees in average (range 0~7 degree).
CONCLUSION
The LCP-PT showed good conformity to the tibia in general. Malposition of the most proximal screw which is not paralleling to the joint line may herald a coronal plane malalignment.

Surgical Treatment of the Myositis Ossificans in Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus in Children: A Case Report: Tai Seung Kim, Kee Cheol Park, Seung Pyo Seo; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):482-485. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.482

Abstract

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is a common injury in the pediatric patient. A less common complication is the development of myositis ossificans. Although frequently cited as a possible complication, there are few reported cases of this occurring in the pediatric patient. We present a case report of a 8 year old boy who developed myositis ossificans after a supracondylar fracture of the humerus. After one year of the injury, we could ascertained radiologically complete maturation of the mass which developed in front of the distal humerus and markedly made motion of the elbow joint limited. We could obtain further motion through the surgical resection and then physical therapy. Now, eleven months have lapsed since the mass was removed, the range of motion is almost normal, and the recurrence of myositis ossificans is not existed.

Testicular Necrosis after Ilioinguinal Approach for Pelvic Nonunion: A Case Report: Sang Eun Park, Young Yul Kim, Jong Hun Ji, Chang Whan Han, Weon Yoo Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):490-493. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.490

Abstract

Pelvic nonunion is very difficult to treat. According to the nonunion site, anterior or posterior surgical approach should be used selectively. And if the nonunion site is located in both anterior and posterior, both anterior and posterior surgical approach should be used. We report a case of testicular necrosis after ilioinguinal approach used as a anterior approach to pelvis to treat pelvic nonunion developed as a result of unstable pelvic ring injury.
