Pelvis/Acetabular Fractures in the Elderly: When and How to Fix?: Kyeong Hyeon Park, Chang Wug Oh, Joon Woo Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2018;31(3):102-113. Published online July 31, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2018.31.3.102

Owing to the increase in life expectancy, the incidence of osteoporotic fracture of the pelvis and acetabulum is increasing. Fractures in the elderly population is different from those in younger patients. Pelvic ring and acetabular fractures in geriatric patients are more likely the result of low-energy trauma, but the outcomes are generally poorer than those of the younger population. Multiple management options are available, but no intervention has become the standard of care for these fractures in the elderly. A treatment strategy should be established depending on the state of the individual patient. Regardless of whether nonsurgical or surgical treatment is selected, early ambulation should be considered to avoid the complications associated with prolonged immobilization.

A Correction of Malunion or Deformity in the Lower Extremity: Kyeong Hyeon Park, Joon Woo Kim, Chang Wug Oh; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(4):219-227. Published online October 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.4.219

Abstract PDF: The incidence of malunion in the long bone with has been reduced because of the advancements in surgical technique. However, nonunion or malunion are still observed in mechanical axis deformation of the lower limb, resulting in the overload of cartilage and instability of the joint, requiring surgical correction. Preoperative planning for malunion is very important, and accurate evaluation of the deformity is essential. Herein, we describe the indications of corrective osteotomy, choice of patients, and various surgical methods for the treatment of malunion of the long bone.

The Result of Conservative Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fracture in Elderly Patients: Seung Gil Baek, Chang Wug Oh, Young Soo Byun, Jong Keon Oh, Joon Woo Kim, Jong Pil Yoon, Hyun Joo Lee, Hyung Sub Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(4):292-298. Published online October 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.4.292

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
With the increase in the old age population, proximal humerus fractures have been increasing recently. However, complications after operative treatment, such as fixation failure, are common because of osteoporosis. We treated proximal humerus fractures in patients with osteoporosis conservatively, and evaluated the radiographic and functional results by analyzing the factors affecting the results.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nineteen out of 30 cases for whom the clinical follow-up was over 1 year were included in this retrospective study. There were 17 females and 2 males, and the mean age was 73.2 years. The causes were slip from a short height (18 cases) and a minor car accident (1 case). We evaluated the union period, nonunion, malunion and the Constant score and analyzed several factors affecting the functional result, such as age, fracture pattern, and malunion.
RESULTS
Seventeen cases (89.5%) obtained union within 12.8 weeks on average. Neck-shaft angle was 125.3degrees on average, with seven cases of malunion. The Constant score was 84.1 on average, and there were excellent scores in 11 cases, good scores in 4 cases, and fair scores in 2 cases. Fracture pattern, neck-shaft angle, or malunion did not affect the functional outcome, and elderly patients showed poorer shoulder function.
CONCLUSION
Proximal humeral fractures with osteoporosis may achieve a high rate of bony union when treated with conservative methods. Despite the common occurrence of malunion, a satisfactory functional outcome may be expected.

Minimally Invasive Anterior Plating of Humeral Shaft Fractures: Hyun Joo Lee, Chang Wug Oh, Do Hyung Kim, Kyung Hyun Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(4):341-346. Published online October 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.4.341

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We evaluated the efficacy and results of minimally invasive anterior plating for humeral shaft fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty-two cases of humeral shaft fracture were reviewed, including 8 cases of type A, 8 of type B and 6 of type C (AO/OTA classification). There were three open fractures. The fracture was fixed with MIPO (minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis) technique under C-arm guide. A locking compression plate was located in anterior aspect of the humerus with at least three screws fixed in each fragment. Radiologic and functional results were evaluated.
RESULTS
In 20 of 22 cases, bony union was achieved with the mean period of 17.5 weeks, including 2 cases of delayed union. There were 2 cases of nonunion, which needed the further operative procedure. Except one case of distal 1/3 fracture, all cases showed satisfactory elbow and shoulder function with the mean Mayo elbow score of 17.4 and mean UCLA shoulder score of 97.3. In complication, there was one case of radial nerve palsy due to improper traction, but it was completely improved after 3 months. Otherwise, there was no complication including infection.
CONCLUSION
Anterior MIPO for humeral shaft fracture may be another option of operative methods with high union and low complication rate.

Staged Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis of Distal Tibial Fractures: Sung Ki Park, Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, Kyung Hoon Kim, Woo Kie Min, Byung Chul Park, Won Ju Jeong, Joo Chul Ihn; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(3):289-295. Published online July 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.3.289

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To assess the result of staged minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for distal tibial fracture with an open wound or injured soft tissue.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 20 patients (mean age, 47.8 year-old) with distal tibial fractures, there were 4 type A fractures and 16 type C fractures based on the AO classification system. Eight of the 20 patients had open fractures. MIPO was performed on average 23.9 days after bridging external fixation. At the final follow-up, we assessed the radiological results of bone union and alignment. Functional results were also evaluated by measuring the degrees of ankle motion and the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores.
RESULTS
Seventeen of 20 cases (85%) achieved primary union at an average of 21.3 weeks. There were 3 cases of nonunion requiring a bone graft. The mean AOFAS score was 88.5 (range, 67~92) and the average range of ankle motion was 49.2degrees (plantarflexion: 37.4degrees, dorsiflexion: 11.8degrees). Complication included 2 cases of minor mal-alignment, 1 case of claw toe and 1 case of peroneal neuropathy. Patients over the age of 60 had lower functional results. Additional factors did not affect the final results.
CONCLUSION
Staged MIPO may achieve satisfactory results in distal tibial fractures with soft tissue compromise, decreasing deep infections and soft tissue complications.

Crescent Fracture-dislocation of Sacroiliac Joint: Affecting Factors of Operative Results: Hee Soo Kim, Chang Wug Oh, Poong Taek Kim, Young Soo Byun, Joo Woo Kim, Byung Chul Park, Woo Kie Min, Hyun Joo Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(2):71-78. Published online April 30, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.2.71

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To assess the affecting factors of results after the operation of Crescent fracture-dislocation in sacro-iliac joint.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 19 patients (mean age, 47.4 year-old) of open reduction and internal fixation for Crescent fracture-dislocation, there were seven type I, 9 type II, and 3 type III fractures according to Day's classification. We assessed affecting factors of radiological and functional results, such as patients' ages, surgical approaches, the fixation extent of pelvic ring, and fracture patterns.
RESULTS
Seventeen of 19 cases united at 14.5 weeks in average, and 2 non-unions occurred with the fixation failure of posterior ring. Satisfactory results were 14 and 15 in radiological and functional evaluation, respectively. In complications, three cases of leg length discrepancy were from an imperfect reduction and two fixation failures. Surgical approach did not show any difference of results, but all cases of unsatisfactory reduction occurred from posterior ring fixation through the anterior approach. Fixation of both rings seemed to have satisfactory results, comparing to posterior ring only. Older patients over 60 year-old had more complications and a tendency to show an unsatisfactory result.
CONCLUSION
In operative treatment of Crescent fracture-dislocation of sacro-iliac joint, it is better to fix both anterior and posterior rings. But, caution is needed to prevent complications in old-aged patients.

Published online January 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.1.6

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To assess the results of staged MIPO (Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis) for proximal tibial fractures with compromised soft tissue.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eighteen proximal tibial fractures (AO 41:9 cases, AO 42:9 cases) included this study. Ten were open fractures. After temporary external fixation until soft tissue healed (mean 27.3 days), MIPO was performed secondarily without bone graft. We assessed the bony union and knee function, and affecting factors of the results were investigated.
RESULTS
All fractures united at 20 weeks (range, 11~32) except 1 case. Mean range of knee flexion was 134.4degrees and mean IOWA knee score was 89.1. There were 2 superficial and 2 delayed deep infections from open fractures (grade II:1 case, grade III:3 cases), although they healed after implant removal. Open fractures seem to influence the infection rate. Otherwise, there was no related factor affecting the results.
CONCLUSION
MIPO after temporary external fixation can provide favorable results in proximal tibial fractures with soft tissue injuries, but attention of delayed infection should be paid in open fractures.

Bone Transport Over the Intramedullary Nail for Defects of Long Bone: Jae Young Roh, Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, Hee Soo Kyung, Byung Chul Park, Woo Kie Min, Joon Woo Kim, Chang Hyun Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(1):37-44. Published online January 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.1.37

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of bone transport using external fixator over an intramedullary nail for defects of long bone.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We treated 14 cases of bone defect after chronic osteomyelitis or trauma of tibia (12 cases) and femur (2 cases) using this method. The mean age of index procedure was 46.9 years, and all of them had follow-up study for a mean of 3 years. After the corticotomy and insertion of intramedullary nail, bone transport was done by external fixators. Then, the segment was moved and bone graft was done at docking site.
RESULTS
The mean transported amount was 5.8 cm, and the external fixator was removed after 141 days. The mean external fixation index was 25.6 days/cm. Primary union of distraction and docking site was achieved in all, but one had failure in union of docking site. According to the Mekhail's functional criteria, there were 5 excellent, 6 good, and 3 fair results. Among 15 complications, there were 2 major complications with residual sequelae, and they were 1 recurred osteomyelitis and 1 flexion contracture of knee.
CONCLUSION
Bone transport using external fixator over an intramedullary nail, can successfully solve defects of long bone. Since this method can remove external fixators earlier than the conventional method, it has fewer complications and makes patients to return to daily life earlier.

Comparison of Operative Methods between Retrograde and Antegrade Nailing for Ipsilateral Femoral Shaft and Neck Fracture: Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, Woo Kie Min, Shin Yoon Kim, Seung Hoon Baek, Byung Chul Park, Hyung Soo Ahn, Tae Gong Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(2):135-140. Published online April 30, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.2.135

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To compare retrospectively the antegrade and retrograde nailing in the management of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty-two patients (thirty-three injuries) were included in this study. Mean age of patients was 38 years-old in the antegrade nailing group (16 injuries) and 44 years-old in the retrograde nailing group (17 injuries). We compared the union of fractures and complications between two groups, and investigated the influencing factors.
RESULTS
Femoral shaft fracture was united in 10 cases (63%) of antegrade group and 12 cases (71%) of retrograde group, at 28.2 and 27.3 weeks respectively. Nonunion was more prevalent in Winquist-Hansen III and IV (5 in antegrade nailing, 3 in retrograde nailing) than I and II. Femoral neck fracture was united with 1 case of nonunion in each group. Nonunion developed from Garden stage IV, but fractures of Garden stage I and II united regardless of methods.
CONCLUSION
In ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures, the kinds of methods did not affect the results of shaft fractures. Minimally displaced neck fractures also were not influenced by kinds of methods, but retrograde nailing may have a benefit in fixing the displaced neck fractures

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.

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

Abstract

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.

Treatment of Complex Tibial Plateau Fractures: A Modified Patient Positioning for the Combined Anterior and Posterior Approaches: Jong Keon Oh, Chang Wug Oh, Seung Beom Hahn, Kwon Jae Roh, Kwan Hee Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(3):396-400. Published online July 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.3.396

Abstract

We have treated thirteen complex plateau fractures involving both condyles with one of the following conditions with the use of the combined anterior and posterior approaches in a modified supine position. Associated PCL avulsion fracture, displacement of major fracture plane dominantly at the back, large coronal fracture fragment involving medial or lateral condyles. A patient is placed on an operation table in supine position with a bump under the contralateral buttock. The well leg is placed in a lithotomy position and the injured leg is placed over a sterilized Mayo stand separately. For the posterior approach the table was tilt toward the injured side with the hip abducted and rotated externally. With a modified patient's positioning we were able to use combined anterior and posterior approaches simultaneously for the management of certain complex plateau fractures without changing the draping.

Stripping of the Hexagonal Recess in the Process of LCP (Locking Compression Plate) Removal: Jong Keon Oh, Chang Wug Oh, Hoon Jung, Kwon Jae Roh, Tae Ho Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(2):283-287. Published online April 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.2.283

Abstract

PURPOSE
To report the difficulties in the process of locking head screw removal due to the stripping of the hexagonal recess of the screw head.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We have removed 113 5.0-self tapping locking head screws and 202 3.5-self tapping locking head screws from 34 patients with fracture healing and 5 patients complicated with infection. All of the operations were done by one surgeon. All the screws were placed with the use of torque limiting attachment or driver.
RESULTS
All of 113 5.0-self tapping locking head screws were removed without difficulties with an usual manner. 21 out of 202 3.5-self tapping locking head screws were removed with many difficulties due to the stripping of the hexagonal recess. 3 screws were removed successfully with the use of conical extraction screw. 12 screws were taken out by further stripping and destruction of the screw head. In 6 situations where the only one screw was left stripped, the plate was bent around the stripped screw and then it was removed by turning the plate as a handle. One screw was removed with the partial breakage of the near cortex upon lifting the plate after failed attempt of using conical extraction screw.
CONCLUSION
Although we have followed the guidelines at the time of insertion we have experienced difficulties in the removal of 3.5 locking head screws due to the stripping of the hexagonal recess. Care should be taken at the time of removal of the locking plate especially for the 3.5 locking screws.

Conformity of the LCP-DF (Locking Compression Plate-Distal Femur) in Korean Adult Femur: A Cadaver Study: Jong Keon Oh, Chang Wug Oh, Sun Hwa Park, Kwon Jae Roh, Chang Won Jeong; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):399-404. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.399

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the conformity of the anatomically pre-shaped LCP-DF to the femurs of the Korean adult.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
67 adult femur obtained from the Korean adult cadaver were used. An eleven-hole LCP-DF was applied to the lateral surface of the distal femur according to the contour. Then the distance from the inner surface of the plate to the cortex was measured at the sites of mismatch. The angle between the distal most screw and the articular surface was measured.
RESULTS
Mismatch was found at the level of proximal 4~5 holes of the plate with an average distance of 9.58 mm (0~18) at the tip of the plate. Otherwise, the overall conformity of the LCP-DF was excellent. The distal most screws are positioned such that the joint line is 3 degrees of valgus to this screw in average (range 0~18).
CONCLUSION
It may be necessary to consider to bend the plate in case of mismatch at the tip especially for the plate longer than 9-hole plate. The angular relation between the distal most screw and the joint line can assist the judgement for the coronal plane alignment.

A Biomechanical Advantage of the Lengthening with an External Fixator Over an Intramedullary Nail: An Experimental Study in Saw Bones and Cadeveric Bones: Chang Wug Oh, Poong Taek Kim, Hae Ryong Song, Jong Keon Oh, Hyung Soo Ahn, Byung Chul Park, Byung Guk Min, Sung Ki Park, Young Heon Sohn; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(3):335-340. Published online July 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.3.335

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To know biomechanical differences in methods of limb lengthening between using monolateral external fixator and using external fixator over an intramedullary nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In acryl rods, saw-bone, and cadeveric bone, we created two lengthening models of using monolateral external fixator and using external fixator over an intramedullary nail. The axial compression test was done on the site of osteotomy for lengthening. To fix the models, half pins of 5 mm in diameter and nails of 9 mm in diameter were used. Using MTS (Material Test System) machine, we evaluated the differences of axial stiffness according to the presence of an intramedullary nail or the numbers of half-pins which were fixed at each side of osteotomy.
RESULTS
Lengthening over an intramedullary nail, comparing to monolateral external fixator only, increased the axial stiffness by 1.1~1.2 times in acryl rods, 1.2~1.6 times in saw bones, and 15.6~15.9 times in cadeveric bones when the same numbers of half-pins were used. In saw bone and cadaveric bone, the group of two half pins in lengthening over an intramedullary nail was stiffer than the group of three pins in lengthening with monolateral external fixator.
CONCLUSION
In the distraction of the limb, the addition of an intramedullary nail may increase the axial stiffness of the frame of monolateral external fixator. In lengthening over an intramedullary nail, it is enough to distract the bone with fixing two half pins at each sides of osteotomy.

Double Plating of Proximal Tibial Fractures Using Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Osteosynthesis Technique: Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, In Ho Jeon, Hee Soo Kyung, Il Hyung Park, Byung Chul Park, Woo Kie Min, Ji Ho Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(3):250-255. Published online July 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.3.250

Abstract PDF

OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the results and its efficacy of double plating for proximal tibial fractures using minimally invasive percutaneous osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique. MATERIAL & METHODS: Twenty-three fractures, followed-up more than 1 year, were included in this retrospective study. There were 18 men and 5 women, and the mean age was 53.5 years-old. According to the AO-OTA classification, five were 41A, 13 were 41C, and 5 were 42. There were four open fractures (grade I- three, grade III A-one case). The plates were fixed on the medial and lateral sides of tibia with MIPO technique. Functional and radiographic results were evaluated by the modified Rasmussen system.
RESULTS
All fractures healed without bone graft, and the mean period for fracture healing was 19.3 weeks (range, 10~32 weeks). All other patients had excellent or good clinical or radiological results, except for two patients of a fair clinical result after a combined injury. Complications included one case of shortening (1 cm) and two cases of mal-alignments (varus less than 10 degrees). There was one case of superficial infection, but no patient showed deep infection.
CONCLUSION
Double plating using MIPO technique can provide favorable results in the treatment of proximal tibial fractures.

Management of Ipsilateral Femur and Tibia Fractures, with Retrograde and Antegrade Nailings from the Knee: Chang Wug Oh, Jong Keon Oh, Woo Kie Min, In Ho Jeon, Hyung Soo Ahn, Hee Soo Kyung, Poong Taek Kim, Jung Ho Noh; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(2):131-135. Published online April 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.2.131

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To review the results in the management of ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures, using femoral and tibial intramedullary nailings with single incision on the knee.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We treated 19 cases of ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures (floating knee), and the retrograde femoral nailing and antegrade tibial nailing were done with single incision on the knee. Except one patient of early death, 18 patients were included in this study. The mean age of index procedure was 34.1 years, and all of them had follow-up study for a mean of 2.4 years. The mean injury severity score was 18.8, and 12 patients had other fractures in the lower extremity.
RESULTS
Primary union was achieved in all, but one patient of femur and two of tibia. The average period for union was 27.6 weeks for femur and 24.5 weeks for tibia. One femoral nonunion occurred due to the metal failure after using short nail, and two tibial nonunion were caused by the bone loss with open tibial fractures. Most patients showed no limitation in knee motion. According to Karlstrom-Olerud criteria, functional results showed 14 excellent, 3 good and 1 acceptable. The protrusion of nail tip into the knee joint made the acceptable result with moderate limitation of knee motion, but it improved after the removal of nail.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION: Simultaneous retrograde femoral and antegrade tibial nailing with single incision on the knee, with an appropriate technique, can achieve the satisfactory result in the management of the ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures.

Internal Bone Transport in the Management of Tibial Bone Defects: Chang Wug Oh, Woo Kie Min, Hee Soo Kyung, Il Hyung Park, In Ho Jeon, Byung Chul Park, Poong Taek Kim, Young Heon Sohn; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(1):36-42. Published online January 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.1.36

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To retrospectively review the results of internal bone transport in the management of tibial bone defect using ilizarov fixator.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We treated 39 cases of tibial bone defect (16 of traumatic bone loss, 23 after treatment of osteomyelitis). The mean age of index procedure was 33.8 years (range, 13~66 years), and all of them had follow-up study for a mean of 3.5 years (range, 1.6~8 years). The mean transported amount was 6.3 cm (range, 2.7~20 cm), and the external fixator was removed after 345 days (range, 120~700 days). The mean external fixation index was 60.3 days/cm (range, 13.1~121.3 days/cm).
RESULTS
Primary union of distraction and docking site was achieved in all, but two patients had failure in union of docking site. Functional results showed 6 excellent, 19 good, 10 fair, and 4 fair. The patients under age 20 showed better functional outcomes than the others. Among 73 complications (incidence, 1.87 cases/ patient), 27 of major complications with residual sequelae occurred in 20 patients. The residual sequelae were more common in the patients who had the concomitant injuries in the same leg.
CONCLUSION
Internal bone transport can solve the large amount of tibial bone defect. However, the complications are not uncommon, which might be related to the concomitant injures in the same leg.

Treatment of Open Tibial Shaft Fractures using Unreamed Nailing: Jong Keon Oh, Chang Wug Oh, Kwon Jae Roh, Duk Moon Chung; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(1):22-28. Published online January 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.1.22

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To report the results of unreamed nailing using a nail with the largest possible diameter for the management of the open tibial shaft fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nineteen patients with open tibial shaft fractures underwent unreamed nailing with the largest possible diameter according to the isthmic diameter measured on preoperative radiography. There were 1 Grade I, 6 Grade II, 9 Grade IIIa, 3 Grade IIIb open fractures. There were 4 type A, 12 type B, 3 type C fractures according to the OTA classification. Fractures were classified as The nail was introduced after gentle passage of a 7 to 8 millimeter-hand reamer.
RESULTS
Union was obtained in all cases. However 9 (47%) fractures required an additional procedures before union. In 6 cases, dynamization was done. Two of them were required exchange nailing for nonunion, 1 of two gained bony union through additional bone graft. Three of the others had gained union through exchange nailing, bone graft, bone transport respectively. There were one rotational malunion, one superfical and one deep infection. Interlocking screw breakage developed only in one patient.
CONCLUSION
Our data indicate that unreamed nailing in the management of open tibial fractures is safe and reliable method. Using a tight fitting nail with the largest possible diameter is a safe and effective way to avoid the problems of screw breakage.

Operative Treatment of Type III Coronoid Process Fractures: In Ho Jeon, Woo Kie Min, Chang Wug Oh, Hee Soo Kyung, Byung Chul Park, Poong Taek Kim, Joo Chul Ihn, Jung Yup Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):338-344. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.338

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To review the clinical results of eight cases of typeIII coronoid process fractures which were treated operatively.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eight patients with coronoid type III fracture were reviewed retrospectively. All were men with an average age of 33. There were three isolated fractures, two elbow dislocations, two radial head and neck fractures, and one medial collateral ligament rupture. Open reduction and internal fixation through anterior approach with canulated screws was used. The patients were followed up for a mean of 31 months (24 to 60).
RESULTS
Average active elbow joint motion at the most recent follow up was 105degrees. The average Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 76.9 (50 to 95). There was one excellent result, four good, two fair, and one poor.
CONCLUSION
Early open reduction and stable internal fixation provided a reliable method for the treatment of type III coronoid process fractures. Any associated ligament injuries to the elbow and fracture comminution were considered as important prognostic factors.

Published online July 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.3.224

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
Despite of various treatment methods, proximal tibial fractures are common injuries that may be associated with poor outcomes and high rates of complications. To improve this, percutaneous plating technique was performed in the proximal tibial fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty-four proximal tibial fractures (AO 41A; 5, AO 41C; 12, AO 42; 7) were treated by percutaneous plating with either or both sides without bone graft. One was open fracture.
RESULTS
All fractures were healed. The average time for fracture healing was 16.5 weeks (range, 8~24 weeks). Complications included a 1cm shortened case and two mal-alignments; a 6 degree valgus case and 5 degree varus case. There was one case of superficial infection, which healed after plate removal. But, there was no deep infection. Results were evaluated by modified Rasmussen score system, all patients had excellent or good result.
CONCLUSION
Minimally invasive percutaneous plating technique can provide favorable results in the treatment of proximal tibial fractures.
