Use of Cancellous Bone Allograft in the Treatment of Long bone Fractures: Keun Bae Lee, Taek Rim Yoon, Jae Yoon Chung, Sung Taek Jung, Jae Joon Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 2001;14(4):776-782. Published online October 31, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2001.14.4.776

PURPOSE
The goal of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of frozen cancellous bone allograft in the treatment of long bone fractures that had bone defect and nonunion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
22 cases of long bone fractures(femur and tibia) with severe comminution or bone defect and nonunion were treated by operation using frozen cancellous bone allograft from March 1998 through May 2000. Thirteen were male and nine were female. The average age was 55 years old (range, 17-76 years) and the mean duration of follow-up was 20.1 months(range, 10-37 months). Eleven cases were femoral fractures, 7 cases of tibial fractures, and 4 cases of nonunion. Allografts were achieved from the patients of femoral neck fracture or osteoarthritis of the hip, and cadaveric donors. The specimens were carefully evaluated based on medical history and laboratory examination about the acute or chronic infection, and bloodtransmitted diseases. The results were evaluated by clinically, such as infection, pain at fracture site, immunological rejection and by radiologically union or resorption of allografts.
RESULTS
Radiologically, bone union was obtained in 14 cases(63.6%) at 6 months after operation, in all except two cases(90.9%) at 9 months after operation. Clinically, pain at fracture site, infection, and immunologic rejection were not observed.
CONCLUSION
In the treatment of severe comminuted fracture or nonunion of long bones, cancellous allograft transplantation after strict donor selection and appropriate screening was a good substitution for autograft avoiding of donor site morbidity or limitation in quantity.

A Comparison of Reamed and Unreamed Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing for Closed Fractures of the Tibia Shaft: Keun Bae Lee, Sung Taek Jung, Dae Chang Joo, Jae Joon Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(3):515-521. Published online July 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.3.515

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To get a reliable clinical data of interlocking IM nailing, the authors compared the results of the reamed interlocking IM nailing(Reamed) with unreamed interlocking IM nailing(Unreamed) in only closed fractures of tibial shaft. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Each Reamed(n=40) and Unreamed group(n=31) was followed by twenty-nine(13-53) months and twenty-one(13-55) months. We analyzed the results and complications of the each group.
RESULTS
The average total duration of the procedures performed without reaming was 13 minutes shorter than that of the procedures done with reaming(p>0.05). Twenty-nine fractures(73%) that were treated with reaming and eighteen(58.1%) that were treated without reaming united at postoperative 4 months. But, thirty-eight(95%) and twenty-nine(93.5%) fractures united at postoperative 6 months respectively. There was only one nonunion, which developed without reaming. Delayed union occurred after two nailing procedures with reaming and after one without reaming. Malunion occurred after one nailing with reaming and after two without reaming. There were two superficial infection, which developed after nailing with reaming.
CONCLUSION
There was no significant differences in the clinical and radiological result between reamed and unreamed nailing for the treatment of closed tibial shaft fracture. But, the bone union rate was significantly higher in reamed group than unreamed group at postoperative 4 months.
