PURPOSE
The Purpose of the study is to know patients' compliance of drug treatment of osteoporosis after operation of fracture and to compare of accompanying fractures between patients who diagnosed with osteoporosis itself and had the drug treatment of osteoporosis after surgery of periarticular fracture of hip.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In experimental group, consecutive 60 patients who had fracture of femoral neck and trochanter. And in control group, 61 patients diagnosed osteoporosis with drug treatment within the same period in orthopedic department from July 2006 to July 2007. The average age is 73.8 (+/-6.7) year in experimental group, and 66.6 (+/-7.46) year in control group. Both groups had at least a year follow-up with drug treatment and had BMD again at least a year later.
RESULTS
BMD test in experimental group showed -3.05 (+/-1.35) preoperatively and -2.74 (+/-1.50) in last follow-up. BMD test in control group showed -3.55 (+/-0.52) in initial administration and -3.10 (+/-0.87) in last follow-up. The results showed a significant improvement in statistical analysis (p=0.0002, p<0.0001).
CONCLUSION
The compliance of drug treatment of osteoporosis after operation of periarticular fracture of hip is the same as in patients' diagnosed osteoporosis.

Simultaneous Dorsal Dislocation of Interphalangeal Joints in the Same Finger: Two Case Report: Hyun Seok Song, Suk Ku Han, Sung Jin Park, Won Sik Nam, Hyuk Jae Yang, Nam Yong Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(3):388-391. Published online July 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.3.388

Abstract

We treated 2 cases of simultaneous dorsal dislocation of interphalangeal joints in the 5th finger. One case was injured by herperextension during basketball, and treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation. Another case was injured by industrial accident, and treated by splint for 1 week.

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.

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.
