Treatment of Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture with the AO/ASIF Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN): Do Hyun Moon, Jang Seok Choi, Geon Beom Kim, Jin Won Kim, Ki Tae Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):136-142. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.136

PURPOSE
To review the clinical and radiographic results of the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures with a proximal femoral nail (PFN).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 47 unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture cases that had been treated with a PFN operatively. The clinical and radiographic results and complications were analyzed. The mean age was 76.8 years old (62~96 years old) and the mean duration of follow-up was 15 months (12~24 months).
RESULTS
The postoperative walking ability was regarded as satisfactory when the patient could walk alone using an walking frame without others aids and satisfactory results was achieved in 43 cases (91.5%). In all cases the radiologic bone union was obtained. The average sliding of femoral neck screw was 3.0 mm and the average change of neck-shaft angle was 2.6 degree. There were three cases of postoperative complication which were including 1 case of cut-out of femoral neck screw, local superficial infection in 1 case and pain complaints over trochanteric area in 1 case.
CONCLUSION
The PFN is an useful implant for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture because of the simplicity of the surgical technique and the low level of the complications encountered.

Treatment of Comminuted Fractures of Proximal Tibia using MIPO technique: Beom Koo Lee, Hyunchul Jo, Gi Serk Eom, Jin Won Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(2):243-250. Published online April 30, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.2.243

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the advantages of fixation of metaphysis by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis(MIPO) technique for comminuted fractures of the proximal tibia. MATERIALS & METHODS: from January 1997 to February 2000, 18 cases of comminuted fracture of the proximal tibia were treated using MIPO technique. Operation time, union time, radiologic alignment, range of motion of the knee joint, functional and anatomical results according to Rassmusen's grading criteria, complications were evaluated. Minimal follow-up time was 12 months.
RESULTS
Operation time was average 51 minutes (30-80 minutes). Time to bone healing was average 10.6 weeks (9-14 weeks) There was 1 case of valgus angular deformity greater than 5 degrees. 6 cases in acceptable bony alignment less than valgus 5 degrees and 11 cases were classified into normal bony alignment. Range of motion of the knee joint was 0-140 degrees in 13 cases, 0-120 degrees in 3 cases, 0-90 degrees in 1 case, 10-90 degrees in 1 case. Rasmussen's grading criteria for functional outcome revealed there were 14 cases(77.8%) excellent results, 4 cases(22.2%) good result. and grading criteria for anatomical outcome revealed there were 7 cases(38.9%) excellent results, 11 cases(61.1%) good result.
CONCLUSION
MIPO technique for comminuted fracture of the proximal tibia seems to be a good techinque to obtain more rapid bony union with less complication.
