Multiple Non-contiguous Spine Fractures with Concomitant Injuries: A Case Report: Soo Uk Chae, Yeung Jin Kim, Jung Hwan Yang, Ji Wan Lee, Jae In Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(3):267-270. Published online July 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.3.267

Abstract PDF: Multiple non-contiguous spinal fracture is a special type of multi-level spinal injury, which is rare but most frequently occur in motor vehicle accident or a falling from a height. We report five patients of multiple non-contiguous spinal fractures. All patients underwent segmental pedicle screws fixation without fusion for preserving facet joints and minimizing blood loss and operation time. We performed necessary operation for any concomitant injuries at the same day.

Usefulness of Kyphoplasty in Sacral Insufficiency Fracture: A Case Report: Soo Uk Chae, Yeung Jin Kim, Jung Hwan Yang, Ji Wan Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(2):174-177. Published online April 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.2.174

Kyphoplasty has recently attended as a potential treatment for sacral insufficiency fracture. We report a 85-years-old female patient with osteoporotic S1 insufficiency fracture with absence of trauma history treated with kyphoplasty which has no symptom improve with conservative treatment. Kyphoplasty is an effective and useful procedure in the treatment of the sacral insufficiency fracture, additionally reviewed of the literatures.

The Use of Fresh Frozen Allogenic Bone Graft in the Impacted Tibial Plateau Fractures: Yeung Jin Kim, Soo Uk Chae, Jung Hwan Yang, Ji Wan Lee, Dae Han Wi, Duk Hwa Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(1):26-33. Published online January 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.1.26

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To assess the behaviour of fresh frozen cancellous allograft used for supporting the reconstructed articular surface in impacted tibial plateau fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between May 2004 and May 2008, 13 cases of impacted tibial plateau fracture were evaluated retrospectively. All fractures were treated with open reduction-internal fixation after restoration of the tibial plateau surface and insertion of fresh frozen cancellous allograft chips for subchondral support. Mean age was 46.6 (31~65) years. Average follow-up period was 36 (13~58) months. The radiological and clinical result for every patient was assessed according to the modified Rasmussen's system and Lysholm's knee score.
RESULTS
According to last follow-up weight bearing A-P X-ray, the fresh frozen cancellous allograft incorporated soundly in all cases and no complications such as joint depression, fracture reduction loss, angular deformity, and malunion were found. The mean time to complete bone union was postoperative 10+/-0.7 weeks. The mean range of motion was 135 (115~145) degrees. The mean Rasmussen's radiological score at last follow up was 15.3 (10 cases: excellent, 3 cases: good). The mean Lysholm's knee score at last follow up was 88.2+/-4.3.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that fresh frozen cancellous allograft in impacted tibial plateau fractures showed good results in terms of bone union and functional improvement and was considered to be a good structural supporter.

Functional Evaluation of the r-nailing Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture Older than 60 years Old Patient: Hwan Duk Yang, Tae Kyun Kim, Young Jin Kim, Jin Young Park, Hyoung Joon Kim, Ji Wan Lee, Eun Young Kil; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):364-368. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.364

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the functional status after Gamma nailing in inter-trochanteric fractures in elderly with functional recovery score (FRS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 285 patients of intertrochanteric fracture treated by gamma nailing from January 1993 to May 2002 with follow up more than 3 years. We analized recovery of functional status concerned with sex, age, fracture pattern, functional recovery index.
RESULTS
The intertrochanteric fractures in elderly resulted in 15.8% loss of function after 3 years. The more functional loss was observed in female, the older age, and Boyd-Graffin type II fracture but, were not signifily related with functional loss except age.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that the age is the important factor to functional recovery to pre-injury status in elderly patients.
