Stability and Usefulness of Compression Hip Screw in the Treatment of Femur Intertrochanter Fracture in the Elderly: Jong Oh Kim, Kwon Jae Roh, Yeo Heon Yun, Young Do Koh, Jae Doo Yoo, Jun Mo Jung, Han Cheon Bang, Jae Hak Jung; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):128-135. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.128

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the relationship between fracture stability and functional results, and analyze the correlation between stability factors and the outcome in intertrochanteric fractures of the elderly.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Of the 231 patients, 84 patients with age above 60 were able to follow up for minimum 6 months. We measured the sliding length of the lag screw, varus degree, position of lag screw, reduction status and medialization of distal fragment radiologically. The functional outcome of the treatment was evaluated with the Clawson's result classification and we evaluated the correlation between the radiological results of measurement and the functional recovery depending on the Evans fracture classification.
RESULTS
There were good results in 40 cases out of 51 stable fractures, and in 10 cases out of 33 unstable fractures (p<0.001). In case of sliding of lag screw more than 10 mm, good results were obtained in 4 cases, and poor in 21. And in case of sliding less than 10 mm, good results were obtained in 46, and poor in 13 (p<0.001). But there was no relationship between other radiologic factors and clinical results. In unstable type, there were 12 cases with lag screw sliding more than 10 mm and 10 cases with less than 10 mm. In comminuted type, there were 11 cases with lag screw sliding more than 10 mm and 2 cases with less than 10 mm (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION
The sliding of lag screw more than 10 mm may result in poor outcome. As in comminuted unstable pattern, sliding of lag screw might be excessive, the use of compression hip screw alone is not a good treatment option.

The Prefracture Factors on The Hip Fracture in Elderly: Jong Oh Kim, Yeo Hon Yoen, Young Do Ko, Jae Doo Yoo, Jun Mo Chung, Han Cheon Bang, Kyu Bok Kang; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(4):531-537. Published online October 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.4.531

PURPOSE
We studied the co-relation on the causes of the hip fracture through the analysis of a relevance on the etiological factors as increased incidence according increasing old ages.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Total 158 cases that treated on the hip fracture from 2001 Jan. to 2002 May were studied. The parameters were age, gender, smoking, obesity, type of fracture, place of fracture, other comorbidity, activity of daily living, bone marrow densitometry, hardness of floor, orientation, injury energy. And then, we analysis of difference between femur neck fracture and femur intretrochanter fracture and between stable femur intertrochanter fracture and unstable femur intertrochanter fracture.
RESULTS
The incidence of the femoral intertrochanteric fracture was larger significantly than that of the femoral neck fracture in the older than 80(p < 0.001). On the comparison of the pre-fractural activity of daily living, the group revealed lower activity had larger incidence of femoral intertrochateric fracture(p < 0.001). Also, the femoral intertrochanteric fracture was more larger in osteoporosis patient group(p < 0.005), and lower energy trauma(P<0.05). In a unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture, 21 cases(77.7%) of total 27 cases were belong to the group of the activity of daily living scale below C(p < 0.05), 24 cases of 27 cases were belong to the osteoporosis patient who was estimated below -3.0 on T-score(p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
In the hip fracture of the elderly patients, the femoral intertrochanteric fracture is more prevalance rather than the femoral neck fracture on the cases of older patient more than 80 year-old, lower activity of daily living scale, lower T-score less than -3.0 on BMD, lower energy trauma. Also, in femur intertrochanter fracture, unstable fracture is more common in low daily activity and osteoporosis

Operative Treatment of Intraarticular Fractures of the Distal Radius: Chung Nam Kang, Jin Man Wang, Kwon Jae Roh, Jong Oh Kim, Dong Jun Kim, Jong Keon Oh, Han Cheon Bang; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(1):56-62. Published online January 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.1.56

Abstract PDF: Intraarticular fractures of the distal part of the radius comprise a distinct subgroup of fractures that are difficult to manage and are associated with a high frequency of complication and represent one of the greatest challenges to the orthopaedic surgeon. We reviewed 30 cases(28 patients) of intraarticular fractures of the distal radius treated surgically in orthopaedic department of Ewha medical center between January 1993 to May 1996 and analyzed the correlation between the clinical end results and radiographic parameters. The clinical end results were significantly worse when radia inclination didn't exceed 15, or radial length was less than 10mm or dorsal tilt exceeded 0. Ulna styloid fractre did adversely affect the clinical results. In our study 2mm articular step off did not show any difference in clinical results. But this is thought to be the result of relatively short period of follow up. Therefore we need to analyse this factor with long term follow up data.
