- PURPOSE
The purpose of this article is to report on the pattern of medical process and relative frequencies of fractures in children and adolescents.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The authors retrospectively analyzed the database of the health insurance review and assessment service regarding children and adolescents under 20 years old treated from 2008 to 2010. Newly registered numbers of fractures in children and adolescents according to sex, month, institution, and anatomical location were also reviewed.
RESULTS
A total of 1,893,416 fractures occurred during three years; approximately 630,000 cases were treated during one year (approximately 562 cases among 10,000 people during one year). During one year, the most fractures occurred in June and the least in February. Senior general hospital consisted of 5.72%, 12.30% in general hospital, 19.28% in hospital, and 62.70% in clinics. Among the fracture sites, 0.05% were cervical fractures, 0.91% in sternum and thoracic vertebra, 1.35% in lumbar vertebra and pelvis, 12.79% in shoulder and upper extremities, 26.87% in lower extremities, 38.10% in wrist and hand, 1.01% in femur, 10.40% in lower extremities including ankle, and 8.52% in foot excluding ankle. The maximal incidence was age 14 years in male and 12 years in female.
CONCLUSION
The authors reviewed the pattern of medical process and relative frequencies of fractures in children and adolescents.

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiographic and functional outcomes between who had unstable intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST (lag screw design) and the PFNA (helical blade design).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected each 17 and 13 patients of unstable intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFNA from April 2005 to December 2008. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical outcomes with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function scoring system.
RESULTS
The mean sliding distance of cervical screw with ITST nails was not shown significant differences than with using PFNA nails. The other factors were not statistically different. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function score were similar. 2 cases of cutting out was noted with ITST nails and 1 case of cutting out was noted with PFNA nails.
CONCLUSION
Unlike the existed biomechanical reposts, there are no differences that are clinical and radiological results in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture using the ITST nails and PFNA nails.

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the usefulness of wrist arthroscopic examination in patient with persistent pain after the triquetral dorsal chip fracture and also to determine its relationship with TFCC injury in the triquetral dorsal chip fracture patient manifesting persistent pain.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study is based on six cases presenting persistent pain in the ulnar aspect after the triqeutral posterior cord fracture that were treated conservatively. Wrist arthroscopy was carried out for all six cases. All were preoperatively and postoperatively evaluated using VAS pain scale, grip power, ulnar grind test, Kleinman shearing test and lunotriquetral ballottment test.
RESULTS
Preoperatively, ulnar grind test yielded positive results in all six cases, Kleiman shearing test proved positive in three cases and lunotriquetral ballottment test yielded positive result in one case. In the arthroscopic findings, synovitis and TFCC injury were detected in all cases, and based on Palmer classification of TFCC injury, type IA was determined in five cases and type ID in one case. Arthroscopic TFCC partial resection and synovectomy were carried out. VAS pain scale improved from an average 8 points preoperatively to 3 points postoperatively. The difference of grip power between the normal and the other side improved from average of 15 lb preoperatively to 5 lb postoperatively. Based on postoperatively physical examination at 6 weeks, all cases yielded negative results in the ulnar grind test and Kleiman shearing test.
CONCLUSION
We think that TFCC injury is one of the causes of persistent pain after triquetral dorsal chip fracture. We recommend an arthroscopic TFCC partial resection as a valuable treatment option.
