Treatment of the Long Term Neglected Patella Fracture Nonunion: 4 Cases Report: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Dong Gi Lee, Yoen Sik Yu, Eun No Lee, Hong Man Cho; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):727-731.

Abstract PDF: Non-union of patella fracture was rare reported. We reported our experience with four cases of non-union of patella fracture treated by surgical intervention. Surgical management by skeletal traction and tension band wiring achieved union of the fracture in all four cases. The patients also recovered an excellent range of movement and strength in the affected knees.

Treatment of the Lateral Condyle Fractures of the Humerus in Children: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Dong Ki Lee, Yoen Sik Yu, Eun No Lee, Nak Hoon Seong; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):667-673. Published online July 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.3.667

Abstract PDF: The authors analysed the 40 patients of the lateral condyle fracture of the humerus in children who were admitted in Korea Veterans Hospital in Seoul from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1997. The fracture type and the displacement was classified according to Milch type and Jakob stage. Clinical analysis was performed on 40 patients with lateral condyle fracture of humerus, who could be followed up. The patients were followed up from 12 months to 63 months with an average of 23 months. Average duration of bone union was 6 weeks after operation. The significant differences in outcome were notified from open reduction and internal fixation in comparison to closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. According to the criteria of Hardacre, we obtained excellent result in 16 cases(40%), good result in 22 cases(55%) and poor results in 2 cases(5%).

Treatment of Supracondylar Fractures of the Humerus in Children: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taek Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Dong Ki Lee, Yoen Sik Yu, Young Jin Park; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(1):179-186. Published online January 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.1.179

The supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common fracture of the elbow in children and is occasionally associated with significant residual complications such as cubitus varus deformity. Clincal analysis was performed on 32 patients with displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus, who were treated either by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning or by open reduction and internal fixation. The results were as follows : 1. The average age of the children was 6.8 years old in both sexes, and male to female was 21 : 11. 2. The extension type was 26 cases(82%), flexion type was 6 cases(18%) and the left side was more frequently involved. 3. According to Pirone classification, type II was 14 cases, type III 18 cases. 4. There was no significant difference in the mean duration of bony union between the percutaneous group and the open reduction group. 5. Cubitus varus deformity and limitation of elbow motion were more common complications in open reduction group.
