- PURPOSE
To analyze the result of treatment for distal tibial fractures by interlocking intramedullary nailing.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eighteen patients who underwent interlocking intramedullary nailing for distal tibial fracture were followed up for more than one year. We analyzed the fracture configuration, presence of fibular fracture, angular deformity and bone union by follow-up radiograph, and complications. The functional results were assessed by Baird's ankle scoring system.
RESULTS
According to Robinson classification, there were 4 type I fractures, 12 type IIA fractures, and 2 type IIB fractures. All cases were combined with fibular fracture. The mean union period of 18 cases were 21.9 weeks. There were three complications with 3 cases of valgus deformity. In functional outcome according to Baird's ankle scoring system, 15 patients (83%) showed satisfactory results.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that interlocking intramedullary nailing is effective method for the treatment of the distal tibial fractures. However, to avoid valgus deformity of the distal tibia when combined distal fibular fracture, fibular reduction and rigid fixation should be needed.

- PURPOSE
To analyse the result of the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures and to consider effective method of the treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seventeen patients with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures were treated from January 1992 to January 1999 and followed up more than 2 years. Radiologic bony union between each treatment method, complication were analysed. The functional results assessed with Iowa hip rating system and Swiontkowski system.
RESULTS
In femoral neck fractures, bony union was obtained in all cases, average 12 weeks. In femoral shaft fractures, bony union was obtained in all but one case. There was no statistical association bony union time between each treatment method (p>0.05). By Iowa hip rating system, nine hips had an excellent result; eight, a good result. According to rating system of Swiontkowski, the result was excellent in nine, good in six, fair in one, and poor in one.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that early diagnosis of all injuries was needed. To avoid further vascular damage of femoral head, early anatomical reduction of the femoral neck fracture should be performed. And then, shaft fracture was fixed with implants which were most appropriate for that combination of fractures.
