Operative Treatment of Clavicle Fracture: Bu Hwan Kim, Jong In Im, Uoung Kyun Yim, Jung Ju Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(3):658-664. Published online July 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.3.658

Clavicle fracture is one of the most common fractures and can be treated by conservative methods with a high rete of union and operative treatment itself was rearded as a cause of nonunion. But recently, we experienced some cases of delayed or nonunion following conservative treatment especially in high energy trauma patient. So we tried to treat 35 cases of clavicle fractures by open reduction and internal fixation with or without bone graft and analyzed the results. Results were as following. 1. The functional results were excellent in 16 cases(45.7%), good in 13 cases(37.1%), fair in 4 cases(11.4%) and poor in 1 case(0.28%), except 1 case of initial brachial plexus injury. 2. Of the 34 cases (except 1 case of nonunion), average time to union was 8.2 weeks in Knowles pin fixation and 8.4 weeks using plate with or without bone graft. Knowles pin fixation and 8.4 weeks using plate with or without bone graft. In the treatment of flesh clavicle fracture for early rehabilitation especially in young patients, open reduction and internal fixation is thought to be good method.

Treatment of Distal Tibial Fractures by Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing: Bu Hwan Kim, Joung In Yim, Hee Yeong Chung, Jung Ju Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(2):316-323. Published online April 30, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.2.316

Abstract PDF: Intramedullary rigid nailing has been used to treat diaphyseal fracture of tibia, but with improvement of practical technical ideas, especially development of interlocking transverse screw, the indication of intramedullary nailing for tibial fracture became expanded to the fractures occurred 3cm proximal to the ankle joint. We treated 34 distal tibial fractures from Mar. 1992 to Feb. 1995 and followed up at least more than one year. The results of treatment were as follows ; 1. Time for union was 11.3 weeks in closed fracture group and 19 weeks in open group. 2. According to the functional classification of Klemm and Borner, excellent and good results were obtained in 30 cases(94.1%). 3. Complications developed in 7 cases which include ankle motion limitation, angular deformity, delayed union.
