Avulsion Fracture of Calcaneal Apophysis in an Adolescent Gymnast: A Case Report: Youn Moo Heo, Whan Young Chung, Sang Bum Kim, Cheol Yong Park, Jin Woong Yi; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(4):288-291. Published online October 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.4.288

Abstract PDF: The avulsion fracture of calcaneal apophysis by Achilles tendon in children is quite rare. It may occur with the injury of the apophysis on the calcaneal tuberosity in the children below the age of 12 to 15 before the union of the apophysis. The authors surgically treated a 14-year-old gymnast with the avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity who injured at the landing of the floor exercise. Radiographs at the fourteen months of follow-up showed slight irregularity of the calcaneal tuberosity but there were no pain or limitation of activity. We report a case with the review of literatures.

Fracture-Dislocation of the Carpometacarpal Joint with the Fracture of Hamate: Jin Woong Yi, Whan Young Chung, Woo Suk Lee, Cheol Yong Park, Youn Moo Heo; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(4):297-303. Published online October 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.4.297

PURPOSE
To evaluate the classification and treatment results about the injury of carpometacarpal (CMC) joint with the fracture of hamate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The authors categorized into 3 types (I, II, III) according to the location of injured CMC joint and type II was subdivided into 2 type (a, b) according to the size of coronal fragment of hamate fracture-type I: fracture-dislocation of 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIa: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIb: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with coronal fracture of hamate body presenting an oblique or coronal splitting fracture, and type III: type II injury associated with injury of 3rd CMC joint or coronal plane fracture of capitate. All cases were carried out the operative treatment. And radiologic results and clinical results were evaluated.
RESULTS
Type I were 2 cases, type IIa 4, type IIb 5, and type III 3. Twelve of 14 cases were excellent or good results, 1 case (type III) was fair, and 1 case (type IIa) was poor. All cases obtained anatomic reduction of CMC joint. But, the posttraumatic arthritis was observed in 1 case (poor) and the displacement of non-fixed hamate fragment was observed in 1 case (fair).
CONCLUSION
We think that it may get more favorable outcomes by the fixation of the relative large fragment of hamate with anatomical reduction of CMC joint.

Total Hip Arthroplasty Following Acetabular Fracture: Myung Chul Yoo, Yoon Je Cho, Kang Il Kim, Young Soo Chun, Dong Oh Ko, Jin Woong Yi; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):121-127. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.121

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
We evaluated the results of secondary total hip arthroplasty (THA) after acetabular fracture. MATERIAL & METHODS: Twenty cases of THA were performed to treat acetabular fracture as a secondary treatment after conservative management (6 cases) or internal fixation (14 cases). The mean follow up period was 5 years 2 months. The cause of secondary THA was post traumatic arthritis in 15 hips and osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 5. Cementless acetabular cup was used in 18 cases and cemented in 2 cases. Cementless femoral component was used in 18 cases and cemented in 2 cases. Serial Harris hip score (HHS), pain, limb length discrepancy and radiographs were evaluated.
RESULTS
HHS improved from 57 points to 91 points. Osteolysis in the acetabular component occurred in 2 cases and 5 cases in the femoral component. Loosening occurred in 2 cases of cemented acetabular components and 1 case in the femoral component. In this study, 3 cases (15%) required revision of the acetabular component and 2 cases (10%) of the femoral component.
CONCLUSION
The clinical results of THA after acetabular fracture was inferior to that of conventional arthroplasty. The secure cementless acetabular fixation with proper bone grafting is mandatory to improve the survival of acetabular component.
