Cerclage Wiring in Internal Fixation of Displaced Acetabular Fractures: Chong Kwan Kim, Jin Woo Jin, Jong Ho Yoon, Sung Won Jung, Jung Wook Peang; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(2):95-102. Published online April 30, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.2.95

PURPOSE
To evaluate the usefulness of wire fixation in displaced acetabular fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 2000 to December 2005, 19 cases of displaced acetabular fracture were treated with wire fixation. According to Letournel's classification there were 9 both column fracture, 5 transverse fracture, 3 anterior column with posterior hemitransverse and 2 T-type fracture. Only wire fixation in 13 cases and wire with plate or wire with screw fixation in 6 cases.
RESULTS
We evaluate the accuracy of reduction by Matta' criteria, anatomical reduction in 12 cases, incomplete reduction in 4 cases, poor reduction in 2 cases and surgical secondary congruence in 1 case. The clinical results showed excellent in 12 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 2 cases and poor in 1 case. The radiological results showed excellent in 10 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 3 cases and poor in 2 cases. There were 4 cases of complication; wound infection in 1case, post-traumatic arthritis in 1 case and heterotopic ossification in 2 cases.
CONCLUSION
The cerclage wiring is a preferable method in internal fixation of displaced acetabular fractures that can facilitate reduction and achieve stable fixation.

Treatment of Stable Intertrochanteric Fractures Using a Short Side Plate Dynamic Hip Screw: Chong Kwan Kim, Jin Woo Jin, Sung Won Jung, Wan Sub Kwak, Jae Il Jo, Woo Sik Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(3):309-313. Published online July 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.3.309

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the usefulness of a 2 holes side plate dynamic hip screw for the treatment of stable intertrochanteric fracture of the femur.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between January 2000 and September 2004, 46 patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur were treated with 2 hole side plate dynamic hip screw (Group 1, 25 cases) or 4 hole side plate dynamic hip screw (Group 2, 21 cases). The mean age of the patient was 70 years, with a mean follow-up duration of 13 months. The time for operation, surgical incision length, blood loss, time for union, the sliding distance, change in the femoral neck-shaft angle and patient's walking ability were evaluated.
RESULTS
The mean operation time and mean incision length were shortened, and mean blood loss was decreased in Group 1 (p<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the union time, the mean change in the femoral neck-shaft angle and the mean sliding distance of the lag screw at the last follow-up. The mean mobility score of the Parker and Palmer was 8.0 points before the fracture and 7.2 points at the last follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Two-hole side plate dynamic hip screw is a useful device, in terms of the operation time, morbidity of operation site, satisfactory union rate and functional recovery of the patient in treatment of elderly patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.

Operative Treatment of the Humeral Shaft Fracture: Comparative Study of Dynamic Compression Plate and Interlocking Intramedullary Nail: Jeung Tak Suh, Sung Won Jung, Ja Kyung Ku, Chong Il Yoo; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(3):391-397. Published online July 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.3.391

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We have followed up the patients of the humeral shaft fracture who had been treated with dynamic compression plate or locked intramedullary nail, which are common therapeutic options, compared them and analyzed results and complications.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We analyse the clinical results, radiological results and complications of 50 cases of the humeral shaft fracture who were treated with dynamic compression plate(DCP) or intramedullary nail(IMN) at the Pusan National University Hospital from March in 1996 to February in 2001.
RESULTS
We find the no significant difference in range of motion of the shoulder, infection, operation time, operative bleeding loss and second radial nerve palsy but 4 cases of shoulder pain and 1 case of shoulder impingement in IMN group. We find the no significant difference in mean bone union time in both groups but 2 cases of nonunion in DCP group and 4 cases of nonunion in IMN group. Complications happened in 4 case of DCP group (total 26 cases) and 2nd surgery was needed in 3 cases(11.5%). However complications happened in 10 cases of IMN group (total 24 cases) and second surgery was needed in 6 cases(25%).
CONCLUSION
The treatment results of the humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate is much better than intramedullary nail except specific pathologic or segmental fracture pattern.
