Lisfranc Joint Injuries: Diagnosis and Treatment: Hyun Seok Yim, Sung Ha Hong, Ki Sun Sung; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(4):283-293. Published online October 31, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.4.283

Injuries to the Lisfranc joint are relatively rare, but they are often misdiagnosed or inadequately treated, resulting in poor long-term outcomes. Understanding of anatomical structure and injury mechanism, careful clinical and radiographic evaluations are needed to recognize and treat Lisfranc joint injuries. In this article, we review the anatomy, biomechanics, injury mechanisms, injury classification, clinical presentation, radiographic evaluation, treatment, outcome, and complications of Lisfranc joint injuries.

Morbidity and Mortality of the Elderly after Early Operation for Trochanteric Fractures: Se Ang Jang, Young Ho Cho, Young Soo Byun, Ki Hong Park, Hyun Seong Yoo, Chul Jung; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(3):199-204. Published online July 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.3.199

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To find out the effect of early closed reduction and internal fixation (within 24 hours after admission to hospital) on the morbidity and mortality in the elderly with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Retrospectively, we analyzed 99 patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur who underwent surgery from January, 2009 to December, 2010. We reviewed 89 of the 99 patients and checked for early complications and reviewed the mortality rates 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. There were 24 males and 65 females. The average age was 79.8 years (61-99 years). According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, 25 patients were class 1, 37 patients were class 2, 26 patients were class 3, and 1 patient was class 4. All patients were operated on by one surgeon, who was skilled in inserting intramedullary nail.
RESULTS
The average surgical time was 43 minutes and the average intraoperative blood loss was 165 ml. Sixteen patients experienced delirium but all of them recovered. One patient had pneumonia at one month after surgery. Pressure sores developed in one patient but improved with conservative treatment. Pulmonary thromboembolism developed in some patients one month after surgery. Three patients (3.4%) died within three months and one patient (1.1%) died between three and six months after surgery, but no patient died between six months and one year after surgery.
CONCLUSION
If patients are optimized for the operation, early internal fixation of trochanteric fracture in elderly patients after arrival at the hospital should be considered to reduce early complications and mortality.

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Humeral Proximal or Distal Shaft Fractures Using a 3.5/5.0 Metaphyseal Locking Plate: Hyoung Keun Oh, Suk Kyu Choo, Jung Il Lee, Dong Hyun Seo; J Korean Fract Soc 2012;25(4):305-309. Published online October 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2012.25.4.305

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
Our study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological results of humerus proximal or distal shaft fractures treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using a 3.5/5.0 metaphyseal locking plate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed the clinical and radiographic records of 17 patients with humeral proximal or distal shaft fractures who had undergone 3.5/5.0 metaphyseal locking plate osteosynthesis with a minimally invasive technique. We evaluated the results with respect to the anatomical reduction and union of the humerus shaft fracture through radiologic studies. We also evaluated the clinical results using the motion of shoulder and elbow functional outcome, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), and postoperative complications.
RESULTS
Complete union was achieved in all cases. The mean union time was 14.2 weeks. According to the functional outcome rated by the ASES score and MEPS, 15 cases were considered excellent and 2 cases were good. There were no cases of surgically-related complications like metal failure, loss of anatomical reduction, or postoperative nerve injuries.
CONCLUSION
Using a 5.0 metaphyseal locking plate for humerus shaft fracture has the limitation that difficulties can arise in achieving sufficient screw fixation for small bony fragments. The 3.5/5.0 metaphyseal locking plate used in MIPO for humerus 1/3 proximal or distal shaft fractures was concluded to give good clinical and radiologic results.

Treatment of the Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur in Elderly Patients: Comparision of Wayne-County Reduction and Anatomical Reduction: Nam Yong Choi, Kee Ho Nah, Hyun Seok Song, Sang Il Seo, Jung Keun Choi, Suk Ku Han; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):301-307. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.301

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To compare the radiological and clinical results of Wayne-County reduction with anatomical reduction in treatment of the intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among one hundred-three of intertrochanteric fractures treated with 135- degree angled compression hip scresw, eighty three cases treated by Wayne-County reduction (Group 1, 42 cases) and anatomical reduction (Group 2, 41 cases) with at least 1 year follow-up were reviewed. The average pateint ages were 72.4 (65~92) in group 1, 71.6 (65~89) in group 2, respectively. 33 cases (75.2%) in group 1 and 31 cases (77.5%) displayed unstable fractures by Jensen classification. The radiological observation was included neck-shaft angle, penetrating length of lag screw into head, sliding length of lag screw and time of bony union. The clinical results were evaluated by Koval criteria, Kyle's functional evaluation, leg length inequality and complications.
RESULTS
There were no significant changes between group 1 and group 2 in stable fractures in the radiological and clinical results. In unstable fractures, the neck-shaft angle averaged 132.2 degree in group 1 and 129.4 degree in group 2 in the final follow-up films. The penetrating length of lag screw into head were 2.2 mm in group 1 and 3.1 mm in group 2 (p<005). But there were little differences in the sliding length of lag screw, the time of bony union and complication rates between groups. In post- operative evaluation of walking abilility by Koval, 31 patients (73.8%) in group 1 and 28 (68.3%) recovered the activity level before injury by the postoperative 1 year follow-up. Leg length discrepancy at final follow-up was 4.1+/-6 mm shortening in group 1 and 6.5+/-8 mm in group 2, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Both Wayne-County reduction and anatomical reduction had a favorable results after treatment of stable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, but Wayne-County reduction may be a better method in treatment of unstable fractures, especially in elderly patients, in which it is difficult to obtain anatomical reduction.

Avulsion Fracture of Calcaneus in Diabetic Patients: Sung Jin Park, Nam Yong Choi, In Tak Chu, Suk Ku Han, Ki Ho Nah, Hyun Seok Song, Jung Ho Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(2):173-176. Published online April 30, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.2.173

Abstract PDF

Avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity is an uncommon injury. Usually it occurs from indirect trauma, and can be seen in old patients with osteoporosis or in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Follow-up studies showed fracture healing in most cases, but skeletal deformity may develop in some cases. Therefore we should do plain X-ray evaluations in diabetic patients with foot and ankle pain, even though there have been no definite trauma history. Four cases of calcaneus avulsion fracture were treated operatively in diabetic patients, and reported.

Development of a Computer-assisted Surgery System for Screw Fixation of the Sacro-iliac Joint: Jin Sup Yeom, Won Sik Choy, Ha Yong Kim, Whoan Jeang Kim, Jong Won Kang, Yeongho Kim, Hyungmin Kim, Donghyun Seo, Seok Lee, Jae Bum Lee, Namkug Kim, Cheol Young Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(1):1-7. Published online January 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.1.1

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purposes of this study were to develop a computer-assisted surgery system for percutaneous screw fixation of the sacro-iliac joint and to evaluate its accuracy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We have developed a navigation system composed of an optical tracking device (Polaris, Northern Digital, Canada) and a personal computer. The registration error and target localization error at hybrid registration were measured using a phantom. The errors were measured 30 times for each. Sixteen 6.5 mm cannulated screws were inserted into four plastic bone models (Sawbones, USA), and the accuracy was evaluated.
RESULTS
The registration error was 0.76 +/-0.33 mm, and the target localization error was 1.43 +/-0.42 mm. All of the 16 screws were inserted well across the sacro-iliac joint, and there was neither penetration of the cortical bones nor collision between screws or washers.
CONCLUSION
The accuracy of the developed system was similar to existing ones, and its usefulness and helpfulness was proven with screw insertion into plastic bone models.

Treatment of the Distal Metaphyseal Fractures of Tibia - Comparison between Internal Fixation with a Plate and screws and External Fixation with Ilizarov Device: Sung Churl Lee, Moon Jib Yoo, Hyun Seok Seo; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(3):371-378. Published online July 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.3.371

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to compare the results between open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws and closed reduction and external fixation with Ilizarov device for the fracture of disatal metaphyseal fracture of tibia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this study, the results in treatment of the 19 distal metaphyseal fractures of tibia with closed reduction and external fixation with Ilizarov device were compared with those in treatment of the 23 fractures with open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screws. The cases were the patients who had been treated for the fractures at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dankook University Hospital from May 1997 to December 2000. The results of treatment were analysed using functional evaluation by Mast and Teipner and radiological evaluation by Ovadia and Beals.
RESULTS
The results were as follows: 1. The major causes of injury were motor vehecle accidents, fall-downs, and falls from a height in order. 2. Treatment of the fractures with closed reduction and external fixation with Ilizarov device showed comparable results to that with open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screws. 3. Complications in treatment were a little more frequent in open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screws than in closed reduction and external fixation with Ilizarov device.
CONCLUSION
Considering the results, closed reduction and external fixation with Ilizarov device is thought to be one of recommendable options in treatment of the distal metaphyseal fractures of tibia with the advantages in wound management, prevention of stiffness of ankle joint, and convenience in removal of the device.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiological and clinical results of the treatment of distal clavicular fractures with coracoclavicular ligament injury by coracoclavicular fixation with plating or repair of coracoclavicular ligament.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sixteen cases with minimum six months of follow-up were included in our study. Male was twelve and average age was 43(28-80). Ten cases of Craig type 2 were treated with coracoclavicular screw fixation with plating. Six cases of Craig type 5 were treated with coracoclavicular screw fixation with repair of coracoclavicular ligament. The radiologic assessment including coracoclavicular distance and union time and the clinical assessment including range of motion and degree of pain were evaluated.
RESULTS
Fifteen cases were united, but one case developed osteomyelitis and nonunion. Full range of motion was achieved in fifteen cases at last follow-up. Average coraco- clavicular distance compared to contralateral site in AP view was 2.1 mm increase in patients with plate fixation and 1.3 mm increase in patients with ligament repair. Average union time was 14.3 weeks and little differenece was noted between two groups(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Coracoclavicular screw fixation with plating or repair of coracoclavicular ligament were a useful method to treat distal clavicular fractures combined with coracoclavicular ligament injury.

Osteochondral Avulsion Fracture in Patella after Treatment of Abscess around Knee: A Case report: Keun Soo Lee, Geon Woo Lee, Sang Ho Song, Hyun Seo; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(2):290-293. Published online April 30, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.2.290

Abstract PDF: Osteochondral avulsion fracture of patella has been rarely reported. We experienced one case of osteochondral avulsion fracture which was developed after abscess around knee. The patient was a 16year old with the history of abscess. The presenting symptom was knee pain and loss of extension power. Radiologic and operative findings suggested that osteochondral avulsion fracture of the patella, was caused by minor trauma near the insertion site of quadriceps tendon. In usual case of quadriceps tendon rupture, the rupture occurred at the musculotendinous junction, caused by sudden contracture of the muscle without trauma history. This case was treated successfully with tension band wiring technique. Differential diagnosis between osteochondral avulsion fracture and osteomyelitis of patella was emphasized.

K-wire Migration into the Thoracic Cavity after Surgery of Scapular Fracture: A Case Report: In Ju Lee, Nam Yong Choi, Young Chae Lee, Hyun Seok Song; J Korean Soc Fract 1996;9(2):326-329. Published online April 30, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1996.9.2.326

Abstract PDF: The use of smooth and threaded pins for internal fixation is often complicated by component migration to a part of the body especially when employed about the acromioclavicuiar Joint. A case report of K-wire migration into the thoracic cavity following surgery of scapular fracture is presented. This phoenomenon occurred despite efforts to bend the lateral ends of the pins to prevent medial migration. If pins or wires are employed even bent at the lateral ends, chinidcal and x-ray follow up should be frequent. The pins should be removed immediately on obtaining the desired therapy.
