Internal Fixation for Femoral Neck Fracture in Patients between the Ages of Twenty and Forty Years: Ui Seoung Yoon, Jin Soo Kim, Hak Jin Min, Jae Seong Seo, Jong Pil Yoon, Joo Young Chung; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(1):1-5. Published online January 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.1.1

PURPOSE
To retrospectively analysis of results of operatively treatment for femoral neck fracture occurred in twenties to thirties.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
20 patients were selected whom we were able to follow up at least 2 years after internal fixation for femoral neck fracture in twenties to thirties from 1998 to 2005. Mean age was 32.2 (21~39) and average follow up period was 26.3 (24~45) months. According to preoperative X-ray, there were 6 cases for Garden classification stage I, 10 for stage II and 4 for stage III, and 7 cases for subcapital fracture, 9 for transcervical fracture, 4 for basicervical fracture. In all cases, operations were performed within 12 hours after the injury. The operations were done after satisfying reduction with the Garden alignment index, with three cannulated screws for internal fixation. Postoperative results were analyzed by clinical symptoms and radiological examinations during follow up periods.
RESULTS
In immediately postoperative radiological examination, satisfying anatomical reduction with Garden alignment index was obtained in all cases, and unions were obtained within 4.5 months after the operation (3~6 month). Avascular necrosis of femoral head occurred in 7 cases of all patients (35.0%). The average time of occurrence of avascular necrosis of femoral head after operation was 10.7 months (9~15 months). Avascular necrosis was occutted 5 (31.3%) in fracture without displacement (Garden stage I, II), 2 (50.0%) in fracture with displacement (Garden stage III) and 4 in subcapital fracture, 3 in transcervical fracture.
CONCLUSION
The incidence of avascular necrosis of femoral head after the operation for displaced and nondisplaced femoral neck fracture between twenties and forty years was no significant difference.

Comparison of Clinical Results between Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and Compression Hip Screw on Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur in Elderly Patients: Eui seoung Yoon, Hak Jin Min, Jae Seong Suh, Yoon Jong Kim, Hee Seon Kim, Yong Jun Lee, Jeong Min Heo; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(3):214-220. Published online July 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.3.214

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To investigate postoperative incidence of complications and functional results between two groups, primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty and internal fixation with compression hip screw on unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with severe osteoporosis in elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
78 cases treated under unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with severe osteoporotic elderly patients from March 1997 to August 2001 who have been followed up for more than a year were evaluated retrospectively between the group of bipolar hemiarthroplasty, 38 cases out of 60 cases and group of compression hip screw, 40 cases out of 59 cases. The incidence of complications and functional ability according to Merle d'Aubigne scale and the mortality rate were compared using student t-test.
RESULTS
The means of Merle d'Aubigne scale for the hemiarthroplasty group and the compression hip screw group were at the last follow up, 15.0 and 13.6 respectively. The differences were statistically significant (p=0.04). Bipolar group revealed significant differences in general (18%) and mechanical complications (5%) between two groups (p<0.05). The mortality rates were 28% and 22% respectively and there were no significant differences statistically (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
We consider that primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty would be better method in the treatment of the unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture with severe osteoporosis but we need much longer follow up.

Published online January 31, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2001.14.1.121

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
This study summarizes the satisfactory results obtained using a composite fixation method for the surgical treatment of long bone fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 10 cases of long bone fractures, that were treated by composite fixation, involving patients over 60 years of age that presented with radiological osteoporosis. Composite fixation was applied incorporating, traditional plate and screw fixation in conjunction with bone graft, plate or intramedullary bone cement at four cases of humeral shaft fractures, three cases of femur supracondylar fractures, two cases of femur shaft fractures, and one case of tibia shaft fracture. Results were evaluated in methods of ambulation, range of motion, bony union and complications.
RESULTS
Satisfactory ambulation and range of motion was observed in all cases, which showed bony union without early implant failure. No re-operation were necessary due to nonunion. No medical complication was noted.
CONCLUSION
The results shows that the composite fixation method provided a stable reduction and a rigid fixation, which facilitated bony union, and allowed elderly patients with osteoporosis an early range of motion and mobility after the surgical treatment of long bone fractures.

Radial Head Dislocation With Ipsilateral Radial Shaft Fracture: A Case Report: Keun Woo Kim, Yong Hoon Kim, Hak Jin Min, Ui Seoung Yoon, Hee Oh Kim, Jae Hee Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(3):570-575. Published online July 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.3.570

Abstract PDF

Radial head dislocation with ipsilateral radial shaft fracture is one of the reportable trauma case with very low incidence. Only 4 cases of this type injury have been reported worldwide. In 3 cases of them, good results were achieved after early closed reduction of the radial head, followed by internal fixation of the radial shaft. In the a u t h o r s'case, the patient received the same method of treatment mentioned at the previous successful 3 cases. But after that, he suffered from repeated dislocations and finally nonunion of the fracture. At last, the authors could obtain bony union and stable elbow joint after radial head resection and osteosynthesis using autologous cancellous bone graft, but resulted in limitation of motion. We report the case and the experience of treatment.

The Treatment of the Hip fracture in the Dementia Patients: Ui Seoung Yoon, Keun Woo Kim, Yong Hoon Kim, Hak Jin Min, Kook Hyoung Cho, Sang Lim Kim, Hyong Tack Choi; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(4):767-772. Published online October 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.4.767

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
: The goal of treatment in elderly patients with hip fractures is restoration of function to preoperative ambulatory statuf as early as possible. The dementia patients who live in the asylum for the old need longer rehabilitation program for restoration of function, especially walking ability. The authors compare the modalities of the treatment for the hip fracture in the view point of walking ability.
MATERIALS and METHODS
: The twenty-eight dementia patients were operated due to hip fracture. Femur neck fractures were 7 cases, and femur intertrochanteric fractures were 21 cases. The authors analyze these patient on the recovery of walking ability. One patient who died immediately after operation was excluded in thil study. The patients were divided into two groups. Of 27 patients, 13 patients were treated with osteosynthesis(Group I), and remaining 14 patients were treated with hemidrthroplasy(Group II).
RESULTS
Fixation loss was treated with hemiarthroplasty in two case of osteosynthesis. The dislocation was treated with open reduction in one cafe of hemiarthioplasty. In the group I, the walking abilities were significantly different between the preoperative(3.85) and the postoperative at 2 weeks(2.46), at 2 months(2.73) and at the final follow-up(2.55)(P<0.05). In the group II, the walking abilities were not significantly different between the preoperative (2.57) and the postoperative at 2 weeks(2.14), at 2 months(2.36) and at the final follow- up(2.29)(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
: Although there is no difference between two groups in final walking ability, The group treated with endoprosthesis showed earlier recovery of safting ability.

Fracture of the Coracoid Process Associated with Acromioclavicular Dislocation: Ui Seoung Yoon, Yong Hoon Kim, Keun Woo Kim, Hak Jin Min, Kook Hyeung Cho, Ki Seung Kum, Il Myung Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(3):640-644. Published online July 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.3.640

Abstract PDF: Acromioclavicular dislocation with a concomitant coracoid process fracture occurs infrequently, as only several cases have been reported in the literature. This injury usually occurs in the second or third decade of life. The mechanism of injury were sports, motor vehicle and direct trauma. An axillary lateral radiograph of the shoulder often is needed to detect this fracture. The authors present two cases of coracoid process fracture associated with acromioclavicular dislocation. Satisfactory function with minimal residual cosmetic deformity may be achieved by nonoperative measures. Also surgical treatment can produce good result in complete third acromioclavicular separation combined with the significantly displaced coracoid fracture.

Femur Neck Fracture during Closed Nailing of Femur Shaft Fracture: Keun Woe Kim, Ui Seong Yoon, Yong Hoon Kim, Hak Jin Min, Jin Sup Yeom, Young Ho Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1996;9(4):936-942. Published online October 31, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1996.9.4.936

Abstract PDF

Closed intramedullary nailing has become increasingly popular in the management of fractures of the femur because of a high rate of union, a low rate of infection, and excellent return of function. But it requires good availability of equipment and surgeons skill and experience. Iatrogenic femur neck fracture can occur as a complication of closed intramedullary nailing of femur shaft fracture. The authors report five cases of this complication and analyze these five cases in the viewpoint of causal technical errors and suggest some technical points to avoid this complication.
