Immediate Quadriparesis after Posterior Sublaminar Wiring for Cervical Fracture Dislocation: A Case Report: Byeong Yeon Seong, Chan Ji Park, Dong Seong Park; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):679-685. Published online July 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.3.679

Abstract PDF: Open reduction and internal fixation of the cervical spine is a commonly performed method of treatment for acute cervical fracture dislocation. A sudden or gradual worsening of the neurological status of a patient during reduction should alert the physician to the presence of high grade compression of the spinal canal. Loss of neurological function during or after manipulation or open reduction and internal fixation should raise the suspicion of compression of the spinal cord from a lesion occupying the canal, such as a herniated disc, buckling of the ligamentum flavum, an epidural hematoma or bone fragments. Magnetic resonance imaging or myelogram are the most helpful diagnostic means and should be used initially if suspected. Treatment is anterior decompression and autogenous strut bone graft. Causes of our case include ruptured disc, vertebral end plate and posterior longitudinal ligament. We experienced a case of immediate quadriparesis after posterior decompression and sublaminar wiring for cervical fracture dislocation which was resulted from ruptured disc, vertebral end plate and posterior longitudinal ligament.

Treatment of Intraarticular Calcaneal Fractures using Ilizarov Exteranl Fixation: Byeong Yeon Seong, Dong Seong Park, Seung Jun Park, Sang Wook Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(3):591-596. Published online July 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.3.591

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is gaining in popularity as method of choice for the treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture since diagnosis and classification of computed tomography have become routine. But early weight-bearing cannot be allowed by convertional ORIF, and delayed weight-bearing may contributed to heel had pain and dystrophy. We performed combined technique of limited internal fixation and Ilizrov external fixation to ten-cases of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures, between February 1994 and February 1996. The follow-up period in this study was at least two years. This method can provide not only anatomical reduction, but also stable fixation. None of patients complained of heel pad pain, which was attributed to the desensitization of the heel by early weight-bearing. None of patients went on to late collapse of the posterior facet. clinical results were rated as excellent in six, good in three, and fair in one case. Pin-track infection, complicated operative technique, cumbersomeness and expensiveness of the external fixator itself were shortcomings of this method. We consider this method as one of options for the treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture.

Operative Results in AO Type C3 of Tibial Pilon Fracture: Limited Internal Fixation and Hybrid External Fixation: Byeong Yeon Seong, dong Seong Park, seung Jun Park, Sang Wook Kim, Taek Geon Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(3):576-584. Published online July 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.3.576

Abstract PDF: The intraarticular fractures of the distal tibia has been the most difficult problem due to severe comminution of itself, little bone mass and poor circulation of soft tissue. Recently limited internal fixation with hybrid external fixation has been reported to provide a good clinical results for the severely commnuted or open pilon fractures as a AO type C3. From February 1994 to February 1996, the authors analyzed the clincal and radiological results of 2 year follow-up in 7 cases of the AO type C3 pilon fractures who were treated with combination of limited internal fixation and hybrid externalfixation. 6 cases had good or excellent clinical and radiological results without any serious complications such as skin sloughs, skin infection, malunion and nonunion, but one case had a nonunion who were treated with internal fixation and autogenous iliac bone graft. We believe that the combination of limited internal fixation and hybrid external fixation that does not cross the ankle joint, provides the good clinical results in AO type C3 pilon fractures by early ankle joint motion.
