Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the result of tibial shaft fractures in children treated with pin and plaster method.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From March 1998 to February 2003, Tibial shaft fractures in thirty six pediatric patients which were treated with pin and plaster method were clinically and radiologicaly evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS
Mean bony union duration was 9.8 weeks. All fractures healed within acceptable angulations. There was neither delayed union nor nonunion. There were complications related to the pins, including superficial and deep infection, skin sloughing. There were 7 cases of tibial overgrowth but they had no functional disability.
CONCLUSION
Pin and plaster method can substitute other operative methods in tibial fractures in children which is difficult to reduce or maintain reduction by conservative treatment.

A Comparison of Vertebroplasty Versus Conservative Treatment in Osteoporotic Compression Fractures: Sang Ho Moon, Dong Joon Kim, Chung Soo Hwang, Sang Eon Lee, Se Won Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):374-379. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.374

PURPOSE
To compare clinical and radiological results between vertebroplasty and conservative treatment in osteoporotic compression fractures of thoracolumbar spine.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
34 patients were reviewed with at least 1 year follow up. Vertebroplasty was used in 14 and conservative treatment was done in 20 fractures. These groups were compared by clinical results which were evaluated by the scoring system according to pain, mobility and analgesic usage at preoperative, postoperative 1 month and postoperative 1 year. And also compared by the increment of kyphosis and loss of vertebral body height in lateral films at the same time. We compared duration of hospitalization between two groups.
RESULTS
Vertebroplasty group showed statistically significant less pain and mobility than conservative treatment (p<0.05), but there was no differences in analgesic usage at postoperative 1 year while significant difference at 1 month. In radiological comparison, vertebroplasty showed less increment of kyphosis and loss of body height significantly (p<0.05). Also vertebroplasty group had shorter hospitalization stay significantly (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Our retrospective analysis demonstrated that vertebroplasty provided significant pain relief, improvement of motion and reduction of analgesic usage and also provided considerable spinal stabilization that prevented further kyphosis and collapse.

Retrograde Nailing in Femur Supracondylar Fracture: Jin Woo Kwon, Sung Ho Shin, Won Ho Cho, Ki Ho Sung, Ki Han Kim, Kyong Tae Sohn, Sang Hoon Lee, Se Won Park, Jong Moon Bae, Tae Woo Kwon; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(4):465-473.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We retrospectively analysed the result of retrograde supracondylar nail fixation in femur supracondylar fractures and evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this method.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Since October 1998 we have treated 14 supracondylar fractures (AO type: A2-6, A3-1, C1-3 and C2-4) by retrograde intramedullary nailing technique through trans-patellar tendon approach from October 1998 to June 2001 and followed more than 1 year.
RESULTS
Among 14 cases, 5 cases were excellent, 6 good, 3 fair according to Schatzker functional result. The complications were 1 distal locking screw loosening, 1 delayed union and 1 fracture around proximal locking site.
CONCLUSION
Even though the retrograde nailing may damage the knee joint because it is inserted by opening up the joint, it provided the necessary stable fixation with short operation time, low blood loss, minimal soft tissue injury. Thus we believe that retrograde nailing is useful operative technique for the management of supracondylar fracture in osteoporotic, communited fractures, or open fractures.
