AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
To determine the influence of osteoporosis on the results of percutaneous K-wire fixation for distal radius fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between March 2007 and February 2011, Fifty seven patients who underwent fixative surgery with K-wires after closed reduction and those available for follow-up for at least 6 months were reviewed. They were divided into the two groups of T score -3 or more (group 1) and T score less than -3 (group 2). These groups were compared by the range of motion of the wrist and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. Radiologic evaluations consisting of radial length, radial inclination and volar tilt were compared. In group 1 with 34 cases, the average age was 65.4 years (50 to 78 years) and T score was -1.97 (-0.1 to -2.93). In group 2 with 23 cases, the average age was 74 years (54 to 89 years) and T score was -4.11 (-3.1 to -6.97).
RESULTS
There was no statistical difference between group 1 and group 2 in terms of range of motion, DASH score and radiologic evaluations.
CONCLUSION
In the case of no volar side cortical comminution, percutaneous K-wire fixation can be applied for the treatment of distal radius fracture with osteoporosis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of percutaneous surgical treatment of the intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, we have compared the results of percutaneous pinning and the combination of percutaneous pinning with external fixation after closed reduction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We analysed the results of 52 patients with intra-articular fracture who received the operative treatment with closed reduction in the period of June, 1995 to June, 2001 and also were in regular follow-up at least one year. We used the subjective analysis by Cole & Obletz and the objective analysis by Scheck.
RESULTS
We have found the outcome that 83.3% of percutaneous pinning were graded above "Good" in type B and C1 and 82.2% of the combination treatment of percutaneous pinning with external fixation were graded above "Good" in type C2 and C3.
CONCLUSION
The percutaneous pinning and external fixator after closed reduction in intra-articular fractures of the distal radius are considered useful to restore the articular congruity and make good clinical results.

SangMok Lee, SoHak Jung, JaeHo Jang, JungHwan Son, JaeDo Kim
J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):284-291.   Published online April 30, 2003
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.284
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
Supracondylar fracture was known as supracondylar dilema because of complication and difficulty in treatment. Many methods were devised to prevent and minimize the complications. Among the treatment methods, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning was widely used for most of supracondylar fractures. But arguments was existed for the the pinning methods such as pinning site and number of pins.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 44 cases of displaced supracondylar fractures treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pining. The pins were removed about 4~5 weeks after operation and range of motion was begun. All cases was reviewed restropectively and results was analysed by Flynn grading system. The pinning method was analysed.
RESULTS
There were no significant clinical results among the methods of percutaneous pinnings. Even though two crossed pins from the lateral and medial condyles were preferable for most fractures. The results are that 1)At least 2 K-wires were needed. 2)Prognosis was not influenced by the pinning site. 3)The complication was prevented by accurate reduction using image intensifier during operation.
CONCLUSION
Two lateral parallel pins were alternative method for marked swelling and severely displaced fractures.

Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning in Displaced Surgical Neck Fracture of the Proximal Humerus
Ju Hong Lee, Gyu Hyung Kim
J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(2):406-413.   Published online April 30, 2000
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.2.406
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
: to appreciate the effectiveness of th closed reduction and percutaneous pinning(CRPP) in reducible but unstable displaced surgical neck fracture of the humerus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
: reviewed 30 patients(19 cases in CRPP and 11 cases in ORIF) with at least 1 year follow-up, comparing clinical union time, elapse time for surgery and clinical results using UCLA end-result scoring system in two froups and determining prognostic factors in CRPP.
RESULTS
: Clinical union was seen 8.4 weeks in CRPP and 11.2 weeks in ORIF. The difference between two groups in the clinical results was not significant. Lower UCLA score in CRPP correlated with the increment in age(p<0.05), but not with sex and metaphyseal comminution. Elapse time for surgery was taken average 38minutes in CRPP and average 95 minutes in ORIF. The postoperative complications in CRPP were 1 in nonunion, 4 in stiffness and 4 in pin loosening, most of them were occurred in female over sixty. SUMMARY : CRPP is a useful alternative and may be primarily applicable method in respect of comparable results to ORIF, minimal soft tissue damage and shorter surgical time. However, in cases of female with sixty or more, ORIF would be preferred because of poor bone quality, less compliant, and frequent joint stiffness.

Ulnar nerve palsy After Percutaneous Pinning in Childrens Supracondylar fracture
Tai Seung Kim, Jay Rim Choi, Kuhn Sung Whang
J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):674-678.   Published online July 31, 1999
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.3.674
AbstractAbstract PDF
Many authors have described percutaneous pinning techniques as the treatment of choice for most supracondylar fractures. But little information is available concerning ulnar nerve injury resulting from pinning techniques. When the surgeon is faced with a postoperative ulnar nerve palsy, it can be the result of unrecognized preoperative palsy, manipulation during surgery, or damage to the nerve by one of the medial pin placements. The options for management include exploration, medial pin removal, or observation. We reviewed our hospital records on the 132 supracondylar elbow fractures that we treated in children from 1991 to 1998 There were 16 palsies found with normal preoperative and abnormal postoperative ulnar nerve function. Normal nerve function returned without exploration and early medial pin removal in all cases. We recommand that observation is the appropriate way to manage these postoperative ulnar nerve palsies in most cases.

Suk Woong Yoon, Tae Sung Hwang, Jong Haeng Lee
J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(2):461-470.   Published online April 30, 1999
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.2.461
AbstractAbstract PDF
The twenty-three cases of unstable Colles fracture were treated from Jan. 1994 to May 1998 at the department of orthopaedic surgery of Seoul Red Cross Hospital. Among them, the sixteen cases were treated with closed reduction with percutaneous pinning, others were treated with external fixator(Ace colles quadrilateral devices, USA). A retrospective study was made and evaluated using the Modification of Gartland and Werley's scoring system. The result of this study were as follow: 1. The ratio of male to female was 9 cases(39%) to 14 cases(61%). 2. The causes were falling down from a height 12 cases(50%), slip down 8 cases(35%) and traffic accident 3 cases(13%). 3. The reduction loss did not occur with the patients treated external fixation using Ace colles qredrilateral device, however three cases of the reduction loss have occurred with the patients using percuteneous pinning. 4. According to the Modification of Gartland and Werley's scoring system, the results of exteral fixation were excellent 4 cases(58%), good 1 case(14%), fair 1 case(14%) and poor 1 case(14%). and for percutoneous pinning, excellent 6 cases(38%), good 4 cases(25%), fair 2 cases(12%) and poor 4 cases(25%). 5. The complications of cases using external fixation were pin site infection 1 case and wrist stiffness 1 case, but for percutaneous pinning, reduction loss 3 cases. pin site infection 2 cases, wrist stiffness 2 cases, and decreased external rotation of forearm 3 cases.

Surgical Treament for Unstable Intra-articular Fracture of the Distal Radius with Rayhack's Transulnar Percutaneous Pinning Technique
Eui Chan Jang, Ho Sung Ryu, Jae Sung Lee, Jung Nam Han
J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(2):422-428.   Published online April 30, 1999
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.2.422
AbstractAbstract PDF
There has been many treatment modalities in the distal radius fracture. Although there is no doubt that external fixators have a role in the treatment of some highly displaced distal radius fractures, many unstable distal radius fractures may be treated adequately with far less complicated and intrusive percutaneous pinning technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate indication and effectiveness of Rayhack's transulnar percutaneous pinning technique. Authors reviewed the unstable intra-articular fracture of the distal radius of 15 cases treated with Rayhack's transulnar percutaneous pinning technique between March 1994 and February 1997. At the final follow-up examination, the mean loss of radial length, radial inclination and volar tilt was respectively 0.4mm (3.9%), 2.0 (10.6%), 2.1 (14.7%). Posttraumatic arthritis was occurred in 1 case (11.1%) of less than 1mm residual articular step-off, 2 cases (40%) of more than 1mm and less than 3mm residual articular step-off, 1 case (100%) of more than 3mm residual articular step-off. Distal radioulnar joint synostosis by percutaneous pinning was not found. According to Demerit point rating system, excellent to good results were obtained in 73.3%. Authors suggest that Rayhack's pinning technique can be applied in terms of simple procedure, cost-effectiveness and functional outcome.

Eu Sub Chung, Young Kee Lee, Byoung Ho Lee
J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(4):970-976.   Published online October 31, 1998
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.4.970
AbstractAbstract PDF
The most common fracture about the elbow joint in children is supracondylar fracture. That treatment has many fitsfalls and had writtened about its method and the prevention of serious complication such as Volkmann ischemic contractre and cubitus varus deformity. the authors analyzed the follow-up results of 58 cases of supracondylar fractures treated by skeletal traction, percutaneous pinning and open reductionin Persbyterian Medical Center from March 1992 to November 1996. The average follow-up was 20 months(12-54 months). The results were as follows. 1. The mean age was 7.8 years, ranged from 1 year to 15 years, and the male and the female ratio was 1.9:1. 2. Seventeen cases were treated with skeletal traction group, thirty cases with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning group, eleven cases with open reduction and internal fixation group. 3. The average duration of admission in skeletal traction group was 23.5 days, 5.2 days in percutaneous pinning group and 14.7 days in open reduction and internal fixation group. 4. The ration of hospital cost to that in the skeletal group were 0.85+/-0.18 in the percutneous pinning group, and 1.43+/-0.21 in the open reduction and internal fixation group. 5. According to the Mitchell and Adams' criteria, the results of skeletal tracion group were excellent in 58.8%, good in 35.3% and poor in 5.9%; the results of percutaneous pinning group were excellent in 60%, good in 36.7% and poor in 3.3% ; and those of open reduction group were excellent in 54.5%, good in 27.3% and poor in 18.2%, respectively, on mean follow-up of 1 year and 8 month. So, our result indicated that the closed reducion and percutaneous pinning is a simple and cost-effective method for treatment of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children, but some instances, the skeletal traction might be another treatment method in supracondylar fractures.

Jin Young Park, Hong Geun Jung, Moon Jib Yoo, Jeong Wan Kim
J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(2):435-441.   Published online April 30, 1998
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.2.435
AbstractAbstract PDF
In the treatment of an unstable fracture of the distal radius, the anatomical reduction of articular surface and the maintenance of radial length are essential. Recently, more extensive therapeutic method was introdced for reduction and maintenance of distal radius fracture. To compare the results between type C2 and C3 that were treated with pinning and the results between pinning and pinning with external fixation in type C3 according to AO classification, we analysed anatomical and functional results of unstable fracture of the distal radius from June, 1994 to september, 1996 at DanKook University Hospital. There were 12 cases of C2 type with pinning, 17 cases of C3 type with pinning and 14 cases C3 type with external fixation and pinning. Among the 43 cases, the most commom type was C3 (31cases), and open fractures were 6 (14%)cases. The following results were obtained; 1. For comparison of C2 type with C3 type that were treated with pinning, the results of C2 type were better anatomically and functionally. 2. For comparison of percutaneous pinning with percutaneous pinning and external fixation in C3 type, the results of C3 type that were treated by pinning and external fixation were better anatomically and functionally.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Supracondylar fracture of distal humerus is up to 60% of all fractures around the elbow in children. Complications of this fracture include nerve injury, arterial injury, skin slough, Volkmanns ischemic contracuture, and changes in carrying angle. Many different treatment methods to minimize these complications have been devised. Recently, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning with K-wire is most widely used in treating supracondylar fractures in children exept in some rare cases such as unreducible fracture by closed reduction. However, troublesome changes in the carrying angle which do not interfere with function but the appearance of the arm is unsatisfactory, continue in approximately 30% of most series. We reviewed 59 cases which were treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in supracondylar fracuture of the humerus. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the cosmetic and functional results and complications and to analysis the relationship between the stability of reduction and method of pinning. The results are as follows; 1) There were many cosmetic problems, actually. Change over 10 degrees in carrying angle compared to the normal site was as high as 10 cases(17%) of 59 cases. 2) There was no functional problem such as limitatioin of motion. 3) There was no significant complication. 4) The cross pinning fixation was more stable than lateral pinning fixation only. 5) Accurate anatomical reduction is required to prevent unsatisfactory result regardless the treatment method.

Treatment of Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures in Children Using Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning
Chung Nam Kang, Jong Oh Kim, Dong Wook Kim, Young Do Koh, Sang Hoon Ko, Seung Hyun Hwang
J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(1):218-225.   Published online January 31, 1997
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.1.218
AbstractAbstract PDF
Treatment of lateral condyle fracture has been traditionally divided to closed and open treatment. Minimal displaced fracture of lateral humeral condyle can be appropriately treated with closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation. Adherence to these guidelines is likely to prevent malunion, nonunion, premature epiphyseal closure, ulnar neue palsy, and cubitus valgus deformity, all possible complications of this fracture. Since September 1993, we managed 20 children with lateral condyle fracture of elbow using closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. And intraoperative arthrogram was done to confirm the reduction status. Pins were removed 6 weeks postoperatively. The average period of follow-up was 24 months. There was no significant difference in carrying angle, range of motion and physical activity compared to contralateral elbow. Valgus - varus stress view is a useful method in evaluating fracture stability and rupture of cartilage hinges and valgus - supination stress view is very useful for confirming the reduction. Arthrogram was considered to be useful in evaluating the reduction state and deciding the treatment plan.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The author have analyzed clinical and radiological materials of foully-five patients of lateral condylar fracture of the humerus who have been treated with close reduction and percutaneous pinning after arthrogram, open reduction and internal fixation and followed up for more than 6 month since September, 1993. If the fracture is incomplete will not be displaced after varus and valgus stress. Also We have checking arthrogram of reduction state. we have treated with close reduction and percutaneous pinning. If the fracture is complete the fragment may be displaced and open reduction with internal fixation is mandatory, the following results were obtained: 1. Age at diagnosis was 5.7 years in average ranging from two years to twelves years. thirty-three out of fourty-five children(73.3%) were male to reveal definite male prepoderance. 2. As for Milch type classification, three cases(5%) were of type I and foully two cases(95%) were of type II. According to Jakobs staging of displacement, 7 cases were of stage I, 25 cases were of stage II , and 13 cases were of stage III. 3. The open reduction were indicated as follows: Jak obs stage II unreduced, postinjury 48 hours relapsed, Jakob stage III. The closed reduction were indicated as follows: Jakobs stage I, II Badelon type I, II and undisplaced and reduceable with supination-valgus stress view, arthrogram. 4. The average period of postoperative cast immobilization was 4 weeks, active and gentle passive motion exercises were instituted thereafter. 5. The range of change in carrying angle was not influenced by degree of fragment displacement and method of treatment. 6. The complications were lateral condylar overgrowth(6 cases) and avascular necrosis(1 case). 7. The result of the treatment classified according to Hardacre assessement, were excellent in thirty one cases(69%), good in thirteen cases(29%), poor in one case(2%). In conclusion, the closed reduction and internal fixation with arthrogram, is considered as the treatment of choice for the minimally displaced lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is a rare injury, frequently misdiagnosed as a fracture of the lateral humeral condyle, a supracondylar fracture of the humerus or a dislocation of the elbow. Roentgenographic evaluation reveals posteromedial displacement of the distal epiphysis. Single contrast arthrography is performed in order to confirm diagnosis. Treatment is first directed toward prompt recognition of the injury. A manipulative closed reduction is usually recommended. We experienced a case of fracture-separation involving the entire distal humeral physis treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. The result was excellent.

AbstractAbstract PDF
We evaluated the clinical results of the closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation for supracondylar fracture of the humerus in thirty patients who were treated from Jan 1990 to Nov 1993. We analyzed the relationships between non-anatomical reduction and occurrence of varus deformity in displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. The following results were obtained: 1. There were twenty-two males and eight females, twelve cases of type IIB and eighteen cases of type IIIfractures by Gartland classification. Posteromedial displacement and fractures through the olecranon fossa were most common pattern. 2. After closed reduction, eleven rotations and three medial displacements of distal fragment, and three angular deformities of medial cortex were observed in eleven cases. 3. Radiologically, the differences of carrying angle compared with normal side were decreased in twenty-one cases, no changes in three cases, and increased in six cases. 4. Two cubitus varus deformities were developed in decreased cases more than six degrees of carrying angle with residual rotation and medial displacement. 5. We obtained relatively good results in supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children treated by closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation with grossly normal carrying angle.

Jeong Ho Park, Sung Woon Choi, Young Chan Son, Young Gi Hong, Jeong Hwan Son, Jae Do Kim
J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(1):152-158.   Published online January 31, 1995
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.1.152
AbstractAbstract PDF
The management of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus is still under debate and the need to evaluate alternative methods has been emphasised. We treated the displaced, unstable 2-part or 3-part fractures by percutaneous pinning or external fixation after closed reduction to reduce the complications of open reduction such as soft tissue contracture, articular stiffness, neurovascular injury and potential non-union. In this paper, we analysed 8 cases of proximal humeral fractures treated by percutaneous pinning and external fixation from Sep. 1992 to Mar. 1994. The results were excellent ; 3 cases, satisfactory; 3 cases, and unstisfactory; 2 cases but no ftilures by the criteria for evaluation of Neer. We concluded that percutaneous pinning or external fixation of displaced, unstable 2-part or 3-part fractures is one of the good methods of treatment.

Won Yoo Kim, Jin Young Kim, Kun Young Park, Chong Hoon Park, Hwa Sung Lee
J Korean Soc Fract 1994;7(2):471-479.   Published online November 30, 1994
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1994.7.2.471
AbstractAbstract PDF
Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children yielded simple fracture management, less neurological and vascular complications, reduced hospitalization day and increased satisfactory out-comes. We treated twenty-seven cases of these fractures(extension type : twenty-five cases) by such a method. The accurate closed reduction of a supracondylar fracture could be obtained and confirmed by image intensifier. The maintanence of a reduction was stabilized by application of K-wires. Our study showed that the limitation of range of motion of the elbow joint was not signifiint(three cases, below ten degrees extension block and changes of carrying angle was also minimal three cases, below ten degrees). In twenty-seven cases, excellent results were recorded in 93% on at least on year follow-up.
