PURPOSE
With the increase in the old age population, proximal humerus fractures have been increasing recently. However, complications after operative treatment, such as fixation failure, are common because of osteoporosis. We treated proximal humerus fractures in patients with osteoporosis conservatively, and evaluated the radiographic and functional results by analyzing the factors affecting the results.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nineteen out of 30 cases for whom the clinical follow-up was over 1 year were included in this retrospective study. There were 17 females and 2 males, and the mean age was 73.2 years. The causes were slip from a short height (18 cases) and a minor car accident (1 case). We evaluated the union period, nonunion, malunion and the Constant score and analyzed several factors affecting the functional result, such as age, fracture pattern, and malunion.
RESULTS
Seventeen cases (89.5%) obtained union within 12.8 weeks on average. Neck-shaft angle was 125.3degrees on average, with seven cases of malunion. The Constant score was 84.1 on average, and there were excellent scores in 11 cases, good scores in 4 cases, and fair scores in 2 cases. Fracture pattern, neck-shaft angle, or malunion did not affect the functional outcome, and elderly patients showed poorer shoulder function.
CONCLUSION
Proximal humeral fractures with osteoporosis may achieve a high rate of bony union when treated with conservative methods. Despite the common occurrence of malunion, a satisfactory functional outcome may be expected.

Minimally Invasive Anterior Plating of Humeral Shaft Fractures
Hyun Joo Lee, Chang Wug Oh, Do Hyung Kim, Kyung Hyun Park
J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(4):341-346.   Published online October 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.4.341
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
We evaluated the efficacy and results of minimally invasive anterior plating for humeral shaft fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty-two cases of humeral shaft fracture were reviewed, including 8 cases of type A, 8 of type B and 6 of type C (AO/OTA classification). There were three open fractures. The fracture was fixed with MIPO (minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis) technique under C-arm guide. A locking compression plate was located in anterior aspect of the humerus with at least three screws fixed in each fragment. Radiologic and functional results were evaluated.
RESULTS
In 20 of 22 cases, bony union was achieved with the mean period of 17.5 weeks, including 2 cases of delayed union. There were 2 cases of nonunion, which needed the further operative procedure. Except one case of distal 1/3 fracture, all cases showed satisfactory elbow and shoulder function with the mean Mayo elbow score of 17.4 and mean UCLA shoulder score of 97.3. In complication, there was one case of radial nerve palsy due to improper traction, but it was completely improved after 3 months. Otherwise, there was no complication including infection.
CONCLUSION
Anterior MIPO for humeral shaft fracture may be another option of operative methods with high union and low complication rate.

Crescent Fracture-dislocation of Sacroiliac Joint: Affecting Factors of Operative Results
Hee Soo Kim, Chang Wug Oh, Poong Taek Kim, Young Soo Byun, Joo Woo Kim, Byung Chul Park, Woo Kie Min, Hyun Joo Lee
J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(2):71-78.   Published online April 30, 2009
DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.2.71
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
To assess the affecting factors of results after the operation of Crescent fracture-dislocation in sacro-iliac joint.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 19 patients (mean age, 47.4 year-old) of open reduction and internal fixation for Crescent fracture-dislocation, there were seven type I, 9 type II, and 3 type III fractures according to Day's classification. We assessed affecting factors of radiological and functional results, such as patients' ages, surgical approaches, the fixation extent of pelvic ring, and fracture patterns.
RESULTS
Seventeen of 19 cases united at 14.5 weeks in average, and 2 non-unions occurred with the fixation failure of posterior ring. Satisfactory results were 14 and 15 in radiological and functional evaluation, respectively. In complications, three cases of leg length discrepancy were from an imperfect reduction and two fixation failures. Surgical approach did not show any difference of results, but all cases of unsatisfactory reduction occurred from posterior ring fixation through the anterior approach. Fixation of both rings seemed to have satisfactory results, comparing to posterior ring only. Older patients over 60 year-old had more complications and a tendency to show an unsatisfactory result.
CONCLUSION
In operative treatment of Crescent fracture-dislocation of sacro-iliac joint, it is better to fix both anterior and posterior rings. But, caution is needed to prevent complications in old-aged patients.
