Arthroscopic Assisted Bioabsorbable Screw Fixation for Radial Head Fractures: A Report of Two Cases: Bong Ju Park, Ki Yong An, Yong Suk Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(1):35-39. Published online January 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.1.35

Most radial head fractures occur as the result of low-energy mechanisms, such as a trip or fall on the outstretched hand. These fractures typically occur when an axial load is applied to the forearm, causing the radial head to hit the capitellum of the humerus. Good results are shown with nonsurgical treatments for Mason type 2 fractures. However, if there is a limitation of elbow joint exercise or displacement of more than 2 mm, an operative treatment should be considered. We treated two patients with arthroscopic assisted bioabsorbable screw (K-METâ„¢; U&I Corporation, Uijeongbu, Korea) fixation for radial head fractures to prevent complications of open reduction and minimize radiation exposure.

Removal Methods for Broken Proximal Femoral Nails Using Ball Tip Guide Wire: Technical Note and Two Cases Report: Bong Ju Park, Hong Man Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2014;27(4):315-320. Published online October 31, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2014.27.4.315

Abstract PDF

Recently, the use of intramedullary nailing for proximal femoral fractures has increased. Breakage of the nail usually occurs at the un-united fracture site, and it is a rare complication of intramedullary nailing of the femur. However, removal of the distal fragment of a broken nail is a challenging problem. Herein, the authors describe the methods used for removal of relatively fixed or strongly fixed broken intramedullary nails in two different cases.

Excessive Sliding of the Helical Blade and the Femoral Neck Fracture after Insertion of Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-Rotation for Type A2 Intertrochanteric Fractures - A Case Report -: Bong Ju Park, Hong Man Cho, Ju Han Kim, Woo Jin Sin; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(2):151-155. Published online April 30, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.2.151

Abstract PDF

Proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) with a lag screw that is shaped like a spiral blade shape is an orthopedic implant to fix trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur. In addition the reason of the biomechanical advantages, PFNA widely been used recently. We report an 83-year-old man with excessive sliding of the helical blade and a femoral neck fracture after AO/OTA type A2 intertrochanteric fracture, which was fixed with a PFNA.

Intramedullary Plate Fixation for the Comminuted Fracture of the Femoral Shaft: A Case Report: Ju O Kim, Mun Su Jeong, Bong Ju Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(4):345-348. Published online October 31, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.4.345

Abstract PDF: A case of the comminuted fracture of the femoral shaft with osteoporosis is presented. The patient lacked sufficient bony stability and cortical bone-contact which allows union by conventional reconstruction method. Therefore, the authors performed a technique utilizing an intramedullary plate in combination with the standard lateral plate in order to obtain bony stabilization, early range of motion of the knee, and partial weight bearing ambulation and the technique is introduced.
