- The femoral neck fracture in childhood is rare and occurred by severe trauma. Its treatment method and prognosis are different from adult, and(it was) difficult to treat due to frequent complication. So the femoral neck fractures in children are called as unsolved fracture.
Eleven cases of childrens femoral neck fracture were treated by closed reduction and internal fixation using cancellous screws or Knowles pins at Kwang lu Christian Hospital from January 1986 to January 1992, and were analysed clinically and radiologically.
According to classification of Delbet and Colona, the transcervical fracture were 6 cases and the cervicotrochanteric fracture f cases. 10 of the eleven cases were displaced fractures. Avascular necrosis was evident in 6 cases(54.5%) and all of them were displaced fracture initially. 2 cases of avascular necrosis were treated with Intertrochanteric varus osteotomy with angle blade plate.

- The tibia, which is covered by subcutaneous tissue anteromdially, frequently sustain open comminuted fracture by trauma. The open fractures have higher risks of infection, nonunion, delayed union and joint stiffness.
The authors reviewed 54 cases of open tibial fracture, treated at Kwang Ju Christian Hospital from January 1989 to December 1992.
The results were as follows : 1. The most common cause of injury was traffic accident(41 case) and the average age of the patients was 32 years.
2. The radiographic union was obtained at 16.1 weeks in type I open fracture, 18.3 weeks in type III, 20.1 weeks in type IIIa,28.0 weeks in type IIIb, and 34.7 weeks in type IIIc open fracture.
3. The secondary operation was required frequently to obtain bone union in open type II, III fracture.
