 Abstract

- Checkrein deformity of the great toe may occur after fracture of the distal third of tibia. It is due to adhesion of flexor hallucis longus muscle to callus. Charachteristic finding is shaply flexed great toe at ankle dorsiflexion and complete interphalangeal joint extension at ankle plantar flexion. We experienced a patient who had severe flexion deformity on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th toe and diagnosed as checkrein deformity of the lesser toes arised from calcaneal fracture. We can't find any report of checkrein deformity after fracture of calcaneus and we think this is very rare case. In operative field, we found fibrous contracture of quadratus plantae muscle which was adhered to flexor digitorum longus tendon. And we performed tenolysis, adhesiolysis and flexor digitorum longus tendon lengthening. 11 months after operation the patient showed excellent result with correction of the deformity.

Abstract
PDF
- Fracture of the distal femur is not as common as femoral shaft or hip fracture. A widening medullary canal, thin cortex, osteopenia make open reduction and internal fixation difficult, enen for an experienced surgeon, The surgical treatment for supracondylar femoral fractures has a better outcome becuse of improved implants, fixation technique and preoperative planing during the past two decades. We reviewed 33 cases of fractures of the distal femur at Soon Chun Hyang Gumi Hospital from June, 1992 to March, 1996 with minimum 12 months follow up. Following results were obtained. 1. In age distribution, fourth decade was most frequent. 2. The most common cause of these fractures was traffic accident. 3. The most common fracture type was type C by Muller classification. 4. Complication were as follows : pain, knee joint stiffness, bursitis, skin infection etc 5. The satisfactory results could be obtained by the open reduction and rigid internal fixation followed by early R.O.M. exercise of knee joint.
