PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate and report the new method with a cement augmented screw fixation again to treat the failed intertrochanteric fracture in elderly which were treated with ordinary compression hip screw initially. MATERIALS AND METHODS From Mar. 1988 to May 2007, 10 patients (mean age 69 years) with the failed intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with initial hip screw, were treated with a cement augmented compression hip screw again. The mean follow-up after surgery was over 18 months. The cause of failure, the period upto the reoperation, the neck-shaft angle after the reoperation, the position of lag screw in the femoral head, and the degree of union at last follow-up were analyzed. The change in the functional hip capacity were evaluated by the classification of Clawson. RESULTS Causes of failure were superior cutting-out in 6 cases, cortical anchorage failure in 3, and nonunion in one case. The period upto the reoperation was average 7.8 months. Valgus reduction of average 5.7degrees was achieved, and the positions of lag screw were postero-inferior in 6 cases, center in 3, infero-center in one case. We obtained complete union in 9 cases. The functional outcome showed moderate in 6 cases, good in 3 and poor degree in one case. CONCLUSION Cement augmented compression hip screw treatment will possibly reduce cutting-out of screw and bring more stability in fixation for intertrochanteric fractures in old osteoporotic patients, as well, even in failed cases treated with initial compression hip screw, but proper selection of patients is important.

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of treatment of trochanteric fracture with ITST (Intertrochanteric/ Subtrochanteric) nail. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the results of 40 cases of trochanteric fracture treated with ITST from January 2006 to May 2007, which could be followed up for more than 12 months. The cases include 13 males and 27 females, and the mean age is 75.6 years old. The clinical results were evaluated by Ceder mobility assessment, and the radiographic results were evaluated by the change of femoral neck-shaft angle and sliding of lag screw. RESULTS The mean bone union time is 13.5 weeks. Thirty four cases (85%) were recovered to pre-injury state of walking ability. The change of neck-shaft angle was an average of 5.21degrees and the sliding distance of lag screw was an average of 5.78 mm. Complications were occurred in 4 patients (10%). CONCLUSION The ITST nail were seen good results in treatment of trochanteric fracture and has relatively less complications than other internal fixator.

PURPOSE To analyze the factors affecting the nonunion of extraarticular proximal tibial fracture and the outcome of nonunion treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated 51 cases of extraarticular proximal tibial fractures from June 2002 to May 2006. The nonunion rate was assessed in relation to several risk factors and the treatment outcome of nonunion using plate fixation with bone graft was assessed by Klemm and BOrner functional rating system. RESULTS 6 cases of nonunion (11.8%) was noted among 51 cases, and the risk factors examined, OTA A3 comminuted fracture was associated with a high nonunion rate with statistical significance and initial bone graft had a significant effect in bone healing. Excellent and good results were obtained in 5 cases (83.3%) and bone union was achieved in all nonunion cases. CONCLUSION Comminution was found to be an important factor affecting the nonunion in extraarticular proximal tibial fracture, and bone graft in primary operation could reduce the chance of nonunion. Accurate plate fixation with bone graft is a reliable option in nonunion treatment.
PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness between minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and interlocking IM nailing in the treatment of distal tibia fracture without involvement of ankle joint retrospectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS 38 patients with distal tibia fracture from Jan. 2004 to Oct. 2005 were divided into two groups. Minimum follow-up was for 12 months. Group MIPO consisted of 18 patients were treated with MIPO and group Nail consisted of 20 patients were treated with interlocking intramedullary nail. The results were compared between two groups by assessing bony union time and operation time. Clinical evaluation was evaluated by Olerud score. RESULTS The mean bony union time was 14.4 weeks (12~17 weeks) in group MIPO and 16.7 weeks (13~19 weeks) in group Nail (p=0.011). The mean operation time was 1.05 hours (0.6~1.6 hours) in group MIPO and 0.74 hours (0.4~1.1 hours) in group Nail (p=0.044). The Olerud score was 83.8 (75~100) in group MIPO and was 89.6 (70~100) in group Nail (p=0.075). In Complication, group MIPO showed one metal failure and two skin irritations, group Nail showed three superficial wound infections. CONCLUSION MIPO was the shorter bony union time and the longer operation time than the interlocking intramedullary nailing. There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical results.

PURPOSE To analyze related factors of radial nerve palsy in patients with humeral shaft fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 107 paients with humeral shaft fracture between January 2000 and June 2007. Thirteen patients had radial nerve palsy after trauma and 9 patients after the operation. We analyzed contributing factors of radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fracture including the cause of trauma, location and pattern of fracture, surgical approach and tourniquet application in cases of plate fixation, the exploration for the nerve and the time for operation. RESULTS The difference in the incidences of radial nerve palsy after trauma and operation was not significant according to the location and pattern of fracture. The tendency of higher rate of radial nerve palsy after trauma in oblique or comminuted fractures, and after operation in spiral fractures was observed. The operation using intramedullary nailing and radial nerve exploration significantly reduced the incidence of radial nerve palsy after operation (p=0.01 and p=0.02). Posterior approach in open reduction and plate fixation showed a tendency of lower incidence of radial nerve palsy after operation (p=0.78). In logistic regression analysis, radial nerve exploration was the only significant factor that reduced the possibility of radial nerve palsy after operation (17.27: odds ratio, p=0.02). CONCLUSION In humeral shaft fractures, we should take into consideration whether intramedullary nailing is possible or not. In cases of anterior or anterolateral approach of open reduction and plate fixation, radial nerve should be carefully inspected. In most cases, we recommend radial nerve exploration in order to minimize the possibility of radial nerve palsy after operation.

PURPOSE To evaluate the classification and treatment results about the injury of carpometacarpal (CMC) joint with the fracture of hamate. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors categorized into 3 types (I, II, III) according to the location of injured CMC joint and type II was subdivided into 2 type (a, b) according to the size of coronal fragment of hamate fracture-type I: fracture-dislocation of 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIa: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIb: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with coronal fracture of hamate body presenting an oblique or coronal splitting fracture, and type III: type II injury associated with injury of 3rd CMC joint or coronal plane fracture of capitate. All cases were carried out the operative treatment. And radiologic results and clinical results were evaluated. RESULTS Type I were 2 cases, type IIa 4, type IIb 5, and type III 3. Twelve of 14 cases were excellent or good results, 1 case (type III) was fair, and 1 case (type IIa) was poor. All cases obtained anatomic reduction of CMC joint. But, the posttraumatic arthritis was observed in 1 case (poor) and the displacement of non-fixed hamate fragment was observed in 1 case (fair). CONCLUSION We think that it may get more favorable outcomes by the fixation of the relative large fragment of hamate with anatomical reduction of CMC joint.

PURPOSE To find out the relationship between the initial Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) findings and the progression of vertebra collapse when treated with Jewett brace in osteoporotic stable thoracolumbar fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS We divided 38 cases of 37 patients of thoracolumbar osteoporotic stable thoracolumbar fractures who were treated with Jewett brace into two groups. One group was composed of those body collapse progressed more than 10% compared with the initial state, and the other group less than 10%. We analyzed the relationships between the progression of collapse and the superior endplate fractures, the fracture line extending to posterior cortex, the size of bone marrow edema, the signal intensity on T1 and T2 weighted MR images, the presence of paravertebral hematoma, and the degree of posterior extensor muscle atrophy using MR images. RESULTS The body collapse was more likely to progress when there was superior endplate fracture, when it showed larger size of bone marrow edema on T1 weighted image, and transverse low signal on T2 weighted image. But extending of fracture line to posterior cortex, presence of paravertebral hematoma, and degree of posterior extensor muscle atrophy did not show any statistical correlations to progression of collapse. CONCLUSION The body collapse is more likely to progress when there was superior endplate fracture, larger low signal on T1 weighted image and low signal on T2 weighted image at initial MRI treated with Jewett brace.

Dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal joint is rare due to the stability of the ligaments and soft tissue surrounding the joint. The authors have experienced lateral dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, which required surgery, accompanied by complete injuries of medial collateral ligament and capsule, contributing to medial stability, differing from posterior dislocation with intersesamoid complex rupture, with a review of the relevant literature and previous reported cases.

We described an unusual case of a 16-year-old Taekwondo athlete who injured the left wrist when she compete with other athlete. She described a mechanism of axial loading, with the wrist in radial deviation. This unusual combined lunate and triquetrum fracture was not associated with the perilunar dislocation. We present this case with a review of the literature. In this case, internal fixation and early range of motion result in a good functional outcome.
Volar plating seems to indicate that many surgeons believe it leads to superior results, and is attractive because of the ease of the operative approach and the soft tissue sleeve to protect digital and wrist tendons. And also it have a locking mechanism to produce the fixed angle device with a low profile and may be thought to be a new era in the surgical treatment of dorsally displaced distal radius fractures even in the face of comminuted or osteoporotic bone. Locked volar plating allows direct fracture reduction, stable fixation and provides stability enough to allow early mobilization and function. The results with volar locking or fixed angle fixation for the general treatment of unstable distal radius fractures in elderly patients has been favorable. Volar plating has fewer complications than external fixation and dorsal plating and allow for earlier return to function. The current indications, technical aspects, clinical results, and complications of the volar plating are being reviewed.
