Irreducible Ankle Fracture Dislocation due to Dislocated Tibialis Posterior Tendon - A Case Report -: Seungyup Shin, Bum-Soo Kim, Ji-Won Lee, Euisun Yoon; J Korean Fract Soc 2023;36(2):52-56. Published online April 30, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2023.36.2.52

Abstract PDF: An irreducible ankle dislocation is a rare injury. The cause is a dislocation of the distal fibula anteriorly or posteriorly or the insertion of soft tissue, such as the deltoid ligament or posteromedial tendon. The tibialis posterior tendon can be dislocated through distal tibiofibular diastasis and prevent reduction of the ankle joint. The authors experienced anterolateral ankle fracture dislocation with a diastasis of the distal tibiofibular joint, and reduction was impossible because of impingement of the tibialis posterior tendon dislocated anteriorly through the distal tibiofibular diastasis. This paper reports the treatment of this injury.

Perilunate Dislocation and Perilunate Fracture-Dislocation: Jung Il Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2022;35(3):114-119. Published online July 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2022.35.3.114

Abstract PDF: Perilunate dislocations and perilunate fracture-dislocations are one of the most severe forms of wrist injuries and are generally caused by high-energy trauma such as falls from a height or traffic accidents. Prompt recognition and immediate, gentle closed reduction are critical, but diagnosis can often be missed at the initial presentation. The current standard management is open reduction, ligamentous and bony repair, and supplemental fixation for the protection of the repair. The pathomechanics of the injury, diagnosis by plain wrist radiographs, closed reduction techniques, current surgical treatments, and complications are presented in this review.

Current Treatment of Calcaneal Fractures and Dislocation: Dae Jin Nam, Sung Hyun Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2022;35(2):74-82. Published online April 30, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2022.35.2.74

Abstract PDF: Calcaneal fractures are the most common fractures occurring in the tarsal bone. In the past, surgical treatments were not preferred because they were accompanied by severe comminution and soft tissue complications. In recent years, there have been great advancements in the treatment of calcaneal fractures owing to the development of new surgical techniques and instruments. However, a standard treatment method has not yet been established. In this review article, we summarize the latest information on the indications and treatment methods of calcaneal fractures.

Treatment of Ankle Fracture and Dislocation: Chan Kang; J Korean Fract Soc 2022;35(1):38-49. Published online January 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2022.35.1.38

Abstract PDF: Ankle fractures are the most common type of foot and ankle fracture injury. Several types of fractures occur in the ankle structures (medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, posterior malleolus, and Chaput’s tubercle) with various mechanisms and extent of fracture force. Moreover, fractures can be accompanied by other injuries, such as distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury, medial deltoid ligament rupture, and lateral ligament complex rupture. Ankle dislocation can be accompanied when an injury is caused by a greater fracture force. Non-surgical treatments or combined surgeries may be performed depending on the mechanism and fracture type. Generally, a stable fracture maintaining anatomical reduction is treated conservatively, but surgical treatment is performed when this is not the case. Furthermore, surgeries for stable fractures can be offered when the patients demand early weight bearing due to their occupation, age, and performance state. Restoring the ankle mortise in its anatomical shape before the injury and starting early rehabilitation for functional recovery simultaneously until a union is achieved is important. Traumatic arthritis can occur if the treatment focuses only on fractures and neglects ligament injuries, such as distal tibiofibular syndesmotic injury and medial deltoid ligament rupture. Shortening, angular deformation, and rotational deformation of the fibular promote the progression of traumatic ankle arthritis in the long term, which may further cause chronic ankle pain. An overlooked displaced posterior malleolus fracture also causes traumatic arthritis through anteroposterior instability of the ankle joint.

Axillary Artery Rupture after Shoulder Dislocation That Was Treated with a Self-Expanding Stent - A Case Report -: HaengJin OHE, Daehyun Hwang, Inkeun Park, Minki Lee, Jun-Ku Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2020;33(4):217-221. Published online October 31, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2020.33.4.217

Abstract PDF: raumatic shoulder dislocations are one of the most common major dislocations in the general population. Injury to major vessels is rarely reported as a complication of shoulder dislocations. This case report presents the traumatic dissection of the axillary artery after a simple shoulder dislocation that was managed successfully with the placement of a self-expanding stent. With the clinical manifestations of a brachial plexus injury and progressive vascular compromise in the affected arm, a major vascular injury was detected on an angiogram, and a self-expanding stent was deployed. Through immediate diagnosis and prompt intervention, serious complications, such as hypovolemic shock and even death, were averted, ultimately achieving a favorable patient outcome.

Risk Factors Affecting the Early Complications of Femoral Head Fractures: HoeJeong Chung, Jin-Woo Lee, Dong Woo Lee, Hoon-Sang Sohn; J Korean Fract Soc 2020;33(4):204-209. Published online October 31, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2020.33.4.204

Abstract PDF: Purpose
This study analyzed the prognostic factors in patients with femoral head fractures by comparing two groups with and without complications.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective study was performed on femoral head fracture patients who visited two different level-1 trauma centers from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2018. Thirty-three patients with a follow-up period of more than one year were included. Early complications were defined as fair or poor in the Thompson–Epstein clinical evaluation criteria and grades 3 or 4 in the Kellgren– Lawrence classification within one year after the fracture. The patients were divided into two groups, with and without early complications. Statistical analysis was performed for the nominal variables with a Fisher’s exact test and continuous variables using a Mann–Whitney U test.
Results
Nine patients (27.3%) had early complications, and there were no significant differences according to age, sex, treatment method, combined fractures, Pipkin classification, and AO/OTA classification between the two groups.
Conclusion
The prognosis in femoral head fractures is difficult to predict. Therefore, the validation of existing classifications or a new classification is necessary.

Femoral Head Fracture with Hip Dislocation Treated by Autologous Osteochondral Transfer (Mosaicplasty) - A Case Report -: Eui-Sung Choi, Hyun-Chul Shon, Ho-Seung Jeong, Jae-Young Yang, Seok-Hyun Hong, Byung-Hyun Ahn; J Korean Fract Soc 2020;33(2):96-100. Published online April 30, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2020.33.2.96

Abstract PDF

Femoral head fractures combined with hip dislocation are very rare injuries. In most cases, they result from high-energy trauma to the hip or lower extremity during traffic accidents. Various therapy options have been suggested to treat these injuries. Especially, different joint-preserving surgical options have been described for the treatment of traumatic osteochondral injury of the femoral head in young, active patients. In this report, we present a case that a traumatic osteochondral lesion to the femoral head after hip dislocation was treated with osteochondral autografts (OATS) from the non-weight-bearing area of the ipsilateral inferior femoral head through a surgical hip dislocation. After 1 year, the clinical and radiological outcome was satisfactory with no evidence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis and no pain of patients.

Treatment of Neglected Proximal Interphalangeal Fracture Dislocation Using a Traction Device: A Case Report: Yongun Cho, Jai Hyung Park, Se Jin Park, Ingyu Lee, Eugene Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2019;32(4):222-226. Published online October 31, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2019.32.4.222

Abstract PDF: This paper reports the use of a traction device for the treatment of neglected proximal interphalangeal fracture dislocations. A 44-year-old man with a fracture dislocation of a right ring finger proximal interphalangeal joint was admitted 17 days after the injury. Closed reduction and external fixation were performed using a dynamic traction device and C-arm under a brachial plexus block. Passive range of motion exercise was started after two weeks postoperatively and active range of motion exercise was started after three weeks. The traction device was removed after five weeks. No infection occurred during the traction period. No subluxation or displacement was observed on the X-ray taken two months postoperatively. The active range of motion of the proximal interphalangeal joint was 90Â°. The patient was satisfied with the functional result of the treatment with the traction device. The dynamic traction device is an effective treatment for neglected fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint of a finger.

New Injury Mechanism and Treatment Algorithm of Posterior Elbow Dislocation: In Hyeok Rhyou; J Korean Fract Soc 2019;32(1):61-71. Published online January 31, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2019.32.1.61

Abstract PDF: Although the concept of a single elbow dislocation mechanism, in which all dislocations start from the lateral side of the elbow joint and progress to the medial side, has never been able to explain the various conflicting experimental and clinical observations thus far, new studies and proposals for a valid mechanism have not been reported. The new proposal for posteromedial and posterolateral dislocation of the elbow joint according to the authors' study and the new treatment algorithm based on this new study can explain the various clinical and experimental results that have been difficult to explain, and provide a reasonable approach to the treatment of elbow dislocations.

Surgical Outcomes of the Monteggia Type 2 Fracture Dislocation in Adults: Sung Choi, Daegeun Jeong, Youngsoo Byun, Taehoe Gu, Sungsoo Ha, Dongju Shin; J Korean Fract Soc 2019;32(1):6-13. Published online January 31, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2019.32.1.6

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
This study examined clinical outcomes of Monteggia fracture type 2, which is the most common in adults with a high rate of accompanied injuries.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From June 2004 to November 2015, a retrospective study was performed on 12 patients diagnosed with Monteggia fracture type 2 with a follow-up period of at least 6 months after surgery. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), and the existence of accompanied injures, radiological result, and complications were analyzed.
RESULTS
Posterior instability was confirmed in all patients and accompanied fractures were detected in 9 patients (75.0%) on the radial head, whereas 10 patients (83.3%) were found on the coronoid process. The average arc of motion was 107Â° (70Â°â€“130Â°) and the mean MEPS was 89 (45â€“100). Additional re-operation due to re-dislocation, radioulnar synostosis, elbow instability, ulna nonunion, and radial head nonunion were performed in 4 cases (33.3%).
CONCLUSION
The Monteggia fracture type 2 is more commonly associated with radial head fractures and coronoid process fractures rather than other types, which causes elbow instability. Because the rate of additional surgery due to complications is high, the treatment of Monteggia fracture type 2 requires careful assessments.

Clinical Features and Characteristics of Greater Tuberosity Fractures with or without Shoulder Dislocation: Dong Wan Kim, Young Jae Lim, Ki Cheor Bae, Beom Soo Kim, Yong Ho Lee, Chul Hyun Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2018;31(4):139-144. Published online October 31, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2018.31.4.139

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics and clinical features of greater tuberosity fractures with or without a shoulder dislocation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 108 cases of greater tuberosity fractures (56 cases with shoulder dislocation, 52 cases without shoulder dislocation) were reviewed retrospectively. Age, sex, side, injury mechanism, fracture displacement, fracture morphology, number of fracture fragments, main fragment size, treatment, and combined injuries were investigated.
RESULTS
The age, sex, side, injury mechanism, treatment, and combined injuries were similar in both groups (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference in fracture displacement, fracture morphology, number of fracture fragment, and main fragment size was observed between the two groups (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
In greater tuberosity fractures with a shoulder dislocation, the prevalence of fracture displacement was high and the depression type of fractures occurred frequently. In addition, the number and size of the fracture fragment increased. Therefore, an understanding of these fracture patterns will be helpful for deciding treatment and prognosis.

The Cause of Primary Reduction Failure in Hip Dislocation with or without Hip Fracture: Hee Gon Park, Yong Eun Shin, Sung Hyun Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(1):9-15. Published online January 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.1.9

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
A rapid and accurate reduction is important for hip dislocated patients to avoid various potential complications, including avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We analyzed hip dislocation cases, ones that particularly failed during the primary reduction trial.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eighty-seven patients with hip dislocation, who visited the emergency department between January 2007 and September 2015, were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 68 patients were successfully treated in the first closed reduction trial, and the remaining 19 patients were unsuccessful. Of the 19 unsuccessful first trial, 12 patients were successfully treated in the second closed reduction; however, in the remaining 7 patients, open reduction was performed in the operation room with general anesthesia. Every closed reduction was practiced by at least 2 orthopedic doctors, and open reduction was performed by a single senior author.
RESULTS
The rate of first reduction failure was higher, with statistical significance, in patients aged under 50 years, male gender, and those with combined around hip fractures, including femoral head and acetabular fracture (p<0.05). In particular, the presence of impacted fracture fragment in the hip joint and large size of the impacted fracture fragment was highly related to the failure of second closed reduction trial requiring open reduction. Conversely, the method of reduction, Thompson-Epstein classification, Pipkin classification were not related to the failure of closed reduction statistically (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
To evaluate the patients with hip dislocation, realizing the type of dislocation, presence of accompanied fracture, location and size of fracture fragment, age, as well as gender of patients is important. If the fracture fragment is impacted in the hip joint and the size of the fragment is large, then the operative treatment is considered, rather than the repetitive trial of closed reduction by constraint.

A Comparison of Results between AO Hook Plate and TightRope for Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: Yong Gun Kim, Ho Jae Lee, Dong Won Kim, Jinmyoung Dan; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(1):16-23. Published online January 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.1.16

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of our study is to compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes with respect to acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation depending on the surgical method: Hook plate (HP) versus TightRope (TR).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between May 2009 and May 2012, 51 patients with Rockwood type III-V lesions received clinical and radiographic follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical methods (HP: n=32; TR: n=19). Radiological follow-up included comparative coracoclavicular distance (CCD) measurements as a percentage of the uninjured shoulder. For clinical follow-up, a standardized functional shoulder assessment with the Constant score, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score, and Korea shoulder score (KSS) were carried out.
RESULTS
Comparing the functional results, no differences were observed between the two groups (Constant score: HP, 78.5; TP, 81.4; UCLA score: HP, 29.2; TP, 29.9; KSS: HP, 79.2; TP, 80.7). Time to restoration of the range of motion (ROM) above shoulder level was longer in the HP group than in the TR group. However, the ROM at 1 year postoperation and final follow-up revealed similar results between the two groups. The AC joints were well reduced in both groups, the CCD increased to 44.7% in the HP group and to 76.5% in the TR group at the final follow-up; however, no one was significantly superior to the others. Furthermore, there were 8 cases (25.0%) and 5 cases (26.3%) of AC joint arthritis in the HP group and TR group, respectively. However, the observed AC joint arthritis has a poor correlation between clinical symptom and radiological results in both groups.
CONCLUSION
Both HP and TR fixation could be a recommendable treatment option in acute unstable AC joint dislocation. Both groups showed excellent radiologic and functional results at the final visit. Moreover, there was no significant difference in statistics, except for the time to restoration of ROM above shoulder level.

Current Concepts of Fractures and Dislocation of the Hand: Yong Cheol Yoon, Jong Ryoon Baek; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(2):143-159. Published online April 30, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.2.143

Abstract PDF

Fractures and dislocation of the hand is a body injury involving complex structures and multiple functions, which frequently occur as they represent 10%-30% of all fractures. Such fractures and dislocation of the hand should be treated in the context of stability and flexibility; and tailored treatment is required in order to achieve the most optimal functional performance in each patient since deformation may occur if not treated, stiffness may occur with unnecessarily excessive treatment, and both deformation and stiffness may occur coincidently with inappropriate treatment. Stable injuries can be fixed with splintage whereas surgery is actively considered for unstable injuries. In addition, surgeons should keep in mind that as the surgical intervention is done aggressively, aggressive rehabilitation must be followed in correspondence with the surgical intervention. Successful outcome requires effort to prevent any potential complication including nerve hypersensitivity and infection. Finally, it is also important that the patient to know that swelling, stiffness, and pain may last for a long period of time until the recovery of fractures and dislocation of the hand.

Iatrogenic Humeral Fracture during Reduction of Shoulder Dislocation: Two Cases Report: Hyung Lae Cho, Hyoung Min Kim, Ki Bong Park, Tae Hyun Wang, Dong Hyun Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(1):50-54. Published online January 31, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.1.50

Abstract PDF: Shoulder dislocation is the most common dislocation presenting to the emergency department. In old age, the attempt of closed reduction is made with caution in order to prevent iatrogenic fracture around the shoulder. We report two cases of iatrogenic fractures of humeral shaft and anatomical neck in female patients older than 70 years old, which occurred during the manual closed reduction. One patient was proved as first-time and the other was recurrent. In addition, the second case had a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Those patients were treated successfully with humeral nailing and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, respectively.

Irreducible Open Dorsal Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint: A Case Report: Youn Tae Roh, Il Jung Park, Hyoung Min Kim, Jae Young Lee, Sung Lim You, Youn Soo Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2015;28(1):65-70. Published online January 31, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2015.28.1.65

Abstract PDF: Dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint is a common injury in the orthopedic department. In most cases, the joint is reduced simply by closed manipulation. However, in rare cases, the joint is not reducible by closed manipulation, therefore, surgery is required. We report on a case of irreducible open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint which was surgically treated. Because the flexor tendon interposed between the head of the proximal phalanx and the base of the middle phalanx, we could reduce the joint only after repositioning of the flexor tendon.

Peroneus Tendon Dislocation Associated with Fracture of Lateral Process of Talus: A Case Report: Youn Soo Hwang, Sung Jun Jo, Kwang Yeol Kim, Hyung Chun Kim, Dong Seon Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2014;27(3):222-226. Published online July 31, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2014.27.3.222

Abstract PDF: Traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation in association with fracture of the lateral process of the talus is a rare injury, which is difficult to diagnose. As a result, early detection is often delayed, which in turn leads to ankle pain and dysfunction. We treated a patient by open reduction and screw fixation in fracture of the lateral process of talus and primary repair of the superior peroneal retinaculum. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of intrapelvic anterior plate fixations for Day Classification Type II crescent fracture-dislocations of sacroiliac joints.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten patients who had undertaken the surgical treatment for the sacroiliac joint from 2006 to 2012 were enrolled in this study. All cases fell into Type II by Day Classification for sacroiliac joint injuries. For surgical treatments, the plate fixation through the intra-pelvic anterior approach was first performed for all cases and anterior ring fixation was performed in 4 cases with more severely displaced anterior pelvic ring injuries. Then, radiological and clinical evaluation was implemented.
RESULTS
The bone union was observed from all patients whom performed the surgical fixation. In the radiological results, 9 cases with the anatomic and nearly-anatomic reductions were observed. Out of the 10 cases which performed the rotational displacement analysis, there were 3 excellent cases, 6 good cases and 1 fair case. The 10 cases that performed the deformity index and vertical displacement analysis, less variations were observed in the anterior ring fixations after intra-pelvic anterior plate fixation group. According to the clinical results, 4 excellent cases, 3 good cases, and 3 moderate cases were observed.
CONCLUSION
In the Type II crescent fracture-dislocation of sacroiliac joint, the intrapelvic anterior plate fixation achieved satisfactory anatomical reductions, radiological stabilities and clinical results.

Treatment of Traumatic Posterior Dislocation of the Sternoclavicular Joint: A Case Report: Dong Hee Kim, Do Hoon Kim, Seok Kwon Kang, Eui Chul Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(1):56-59. Published online January 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.1.56

Abstract PDF

Compared with acromioclavicular dislocation, dislocation of the clavicle at its sternal end is uncommon and accounts for 3% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle. Furthermore, the posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is relatively a rare injury compared to the other types of sternoclavicular dislocation. We report this case since we have experience with similar cases of traumatic posterior dislocation at the sternoclavicular joint, which were successfully treated with x-ray guided reduction.

Abstract PDF: Arm injuries occurring from high energy injuries such as falls or traffic accidents can be accompanied by wrist and elbow injuries. Monteggia fracture, Galeazzi fracture, and Essex-Lopresti fracture-dislocation are known some examples of such injuries. However, there are no reports on the dislocation of the elbow occurring from a distal radius fracture accompanied by scaphoid fracture, and there is nothing published about its prognosis. The authors report on the treatment and outcomes of a case of a 42-year-old male who had a distal radius and scaphoid fracture associated with posteromedial dislocation of the elbow on the same side of his arm along with a literature review.

Surgical Treatment of the Perilunate Dislocation and the Lunate Dislocation with Dorsal Approach: Soo Hong Han, Jin Myoung Dan, Dong Hoon Lee, Young Woong Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(4):347-353. Published online October 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.4.347

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of the perilunate dislocation and the lunate dislocation which were managed surgically through a dorsal approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Retrospective reviews of the 13 patients who had minimum 1-year follow-up after surgical treatment through isolated dorsal approach for their perilunate dislocations or the lunate dislocations were performed. The case that dislocated lunate migrated proximally through the wrist was excluded in this series. We evaluated the DASH score in questionnaire method and Mayo wrist score to analyze the clinical outcomes. Radiologic results were investigated by measurement of the scapho-lunate angle, and fracture union was also evaluated in the case of trans-scaphoid dislocation.
RESULTS
The mean DASH Score was 16.3 points (range, 10.8~26.7 points) and the mean Mayo wrist score was 79 points (range, 65~90 points) at the final follow-up. There were 2 cases of excellent, 7 cases of good and 4 cases of fair in the Mayo wrist score. On the radiologic analysis, the mean scapho-lunate angle was 49.0degrees (range, 35~55degrees) and all cases were within the normal range. All cases of the trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation achieved bone union.
CONCLUSION
Author's cases showed satisfactory outcomes in clinically and radiologically. Isolated dorsal approach could give anatomical reduction and appropriate internal fixation in treatment of the perilunate dislocations and the lunate dislocations except the rare case of proximal migration of the lunate through the wrist.

Checkrein Deformity by Incarcerated Posterior Tibial Tendon and Displaced Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon following Ankle Dislocation: A Case Report: Su Young Bae, Hyung Jin Chung, Man Young Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(3):271-276. Published online July 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.3.271

Abstract PDF

We report a case of 20 year-old man who had unusual equinus and checkrein deformity following dislocation of his right ankle joint. He had been treated with distal tibiofibular screw fixation and external fixation. After removal of external fixator, he had suffered from progressive deformity of foot and ankle. Widening of distal tibiofibular joint and medial clear space was found on radiograph and it was revealed that posterior tibial tendon had been dislocated and incarcerated into the distal tibiofibular joint on MRI. We corrected the deformity with excision of incarcerated posterior tibial tendon, adhesiolysis and lengthening of flexor hallucis longus tendon, reconstruction of deltoid ligament and flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer.

Operative Treatment in the Delayed Diagnosed Fracture and Dislocation of Hamatometacarpal Joint: Suk Ha Lee, Jong Wong Park, Jin Il Kim, Seoung Joon Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(3):249-255. Published online July 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.3.249

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose is to evaluate and report the results that treated with open reduction and internal fixation in delayed diagnosed fracture and dislocation of the hamatometacarpal joint.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We evaluated 12 cases that had been treated with open reduction and internal fixation in delayed diagnosed fracture and dislocation of the hamatometacarpal joint. The mean interval between injury and operation was 34 days (21~60 days), the mean age of 12 cases was 28.1 years old, and mean follow-up period was 18 months. The computer tomography was done in all cases and the fracture and dislocation types were classified by Cain's classification. For the evaluation of results, pain scale, grasping power, range of motion of wrist and metacarpophalangeal joint were analyzed preoperatively and at final follow up, and the arthritic change of the hamatometacarpal joint was also checked.
RESULTS
According to Cain's classification, type Ia was one case, type Ib was two, type II was six, and type III was three. The pain scale was improved from 7.75 preoperatively to 0.92 at last follow up. The mean grasping power was improved up to 97.5% of normal. The preoperative range of motion of the wrist joint measured to be 60 degrees in extension and 70 degrees in flexion; the final range of motion indicated to be 75 degrees in extension and 80 degrees in flexion. The preoperative range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint measured to be 0 degrees in extension and 70 degrees in flexion; the final range of motion indicated to be 0 degrees in extension and 85 degrees in flexion. Carpometacarpal arthritis was developed in two cases.
CONCLUSION
The open reduction and internal fixation is considered as one of good treatment option in the delayed diagnosed hamatometacarpal fracture and dislocation.

Bilateral Open Transcalcaneal Fracture with Talonavicular Dislocation: A Case Report: Hun Park, Sung Jin Shin, Sang Rim Kim, Kwang Woo Nam, Sung Wook Choi, Kyu Bum Seo, Jun Young Seo; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(1):87-91. Published online January 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.1.87

Abstract PDF

Although calcaneal fracture is relatively common in ankle injury, open intraarticular calcaneal fracture with dorsal dislocation of the navicular from talus is extremely rare and severe injury. There are few data which are available concerning the injury mechanism and treatment options. The purpose of this report is to describe a case with bilateral open transcalcaneal fracture with talonavicular dislocation and to discuss the prevalence, mechanism of this injury, and treatment options.

Dislocation of the Shoulder with Ipsilateral Humeral Shaft Fracture: A Case Report: Chul Hyun Cho, Kwang Yeung Jeong; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(4):382-385. Published online October 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.4.382

Abstract PDF

Dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is very rare, but serious injury that requires emergent care. There have been approximately 20 cases reported in the English literature, but it has never been reported in Korea. We report a case of dislocation of right shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture which was successfully treated by closed reduction of the shoulder under general anesthesia and internal fixation with antegrade interlocking intramedullary nailing for the humeral shaft fracture.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Using TightRope(R): Preliminary Report: Eui Sung Choi, Kyoung Jin Park, Yong Min Kim, Dong Soo Kim, Hyun Chul Shon, Byung Ki Cho, Ji Kang Park, Hyun Chul Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(3):310-316. Published online July 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.3.310

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of the arthroscopic treatment using TightRope(R) (Arthrex, Inc, Naples, FL) for management of acute acromioclavicular dislocation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twelve patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation Rockwood type V are underwent the arthroscopic acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using TightRope(R) between March, 2008 and March, 2009. The average age was 40.4 years (range 25~63 years) and mean follow-up was 10 months (range 8~16 months). The shoulders were evaluated using parameters include radiologic measurements by comparing the clavicle posteroanterior and lateral radiographs with the contralateral one. Clinical evaluation was made for pain, function, and range of joint motion by Constant score and KSS (Korean Shoulder Score).
RESULTS
All twelve patients returned to their work without pain in 3 months after operation. The average Constant score and KSS score was 98.4 (range 97~100) and 97.8 (range 97~100) at the last follow-up. Because of technical error and indication error, two patients showed failures of TightRope(R) fixation on the coracoid side and the acromioclavicular joint was redislocated, so these cases were excluded. 10 patients were satisfied with functional results and cosmetic appearance.
CONCLUSION
Considering its less morbidity, less hospitalization, excellent cosmesis, early rehabilitation, this new technique offers an attractive alternative in acromioclavicular joint stabilization if the early technical error would be overcome.

Fracture-Dislocation of S1 in 3-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report: Sang Bong Ko, Sang Wook Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(2):232-235. Published online April 30, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.2.232

Abstract PDF: Fracture-dislocation of the sacrum that has not yet fully developed is common in the distal sacrococcygeal joint of children, but this injury is rarely seen in 1st Sacrum. Most of these patients have a severe neurological deficit, so this injury generally requires surgical decompression. We managed a three year old patient who had a S1 fracture-dislocation without a neurological deficit, and the patient was treated with simple skin traction and bed rest without surgery. The child had a satisfactory result, so we report on this case with reviewing the relevant literatures.
