Problems of Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing for Fracture Treatment: Bu Hwan Kim, Jong In In, Yi Chul Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(1):142-149. Published online January 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.1.142

Abstract PDF: With the introduction of image intensifier in orthopaedic surgery, interlocked intramedullary nailing is one of the most prevailing method in the treatment of long bone fracture especially in femur and tibia. Advantages of this method are rigid fixation of fracture fragment resistant to rotational force, low infection rate, possible early post-operative motion and weight bearing and bone graft effect by medullar reaming procedure. But we had encountered variable complications during and after operation of 63 cases in 59 patients who had undergone interlocking nailing for femur or tibia fractures from Mar 1990 to Feb 1992 at Dae Dong General Hospital. The results were as follows : 1. Delayed union and nonunion developed in nine cases and infection was noted in nine cases, seven of them were superficial infections. 2. Operative complication were encountered with four cases of new fracture, three cases of angolation deformity, four cases of shortening. 3. Four cases of nail profusion was developed because of inadequate implant length. Postoperative metallic failure was found in three cases. 4. Sufficient preoperative planning and skillful technique can decrease the complications.

Operative Treatment of Unstable Fracture of Distal Radius: Bu Hwan Kim, Jong In In, Hee Yeong Chung, Yong Kyun In; J Korean Soc Fract 1996;9(3):774-780. Published online July 31, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1996.9.3.774

Abstract PDF: Fracture of distal radius represent the most common fractures of upper extremity. Recently, distal radius fractures are recognized as very complex injuries with a variable prognosis according to the fracture type and the treatment. Because unstable distal radius fractures have a high incidence of secondary displacement and shortening, they are not amenable to the traditional methods of closed manipulation. We classified distal radius fractures by Fernandez classification and analysed thirty-six cases of fractures followed up more than one year at Dae-Dong Hospital from March 1993 to September 1994 after ORIF with T-plate. The result were as follows: 1. ORIF of unstable fracture of distal radius with small T-plate, selective bone graft using volar approach, 81% of the patients had a rating of good or excellent by the modified scoring system of Green and OBrien. 2. Severely comminuted fractures as Fernandez type V necessitated additional fixation such as external fixator. 3. Femandez classification based on the mechanism of injury was helpful in planning the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.

Open Reduction & Internal Fixation of Long Bone Fracture in Osteopetrosis Patient: Bu Hwan Kim, Jong In In, Woo Seong Choi; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(2):407-412. Published online April 30, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.2.407

Abstract PDF

Bone quality in osteopetrosis patient is very hard but brittle and easily fractured by triviat trauma. In case of pathological fractures in osteopetrosis patient, most of the fractures are treated by conservative treatments. But some long bone fractures are difficult to treat conservatively. A few surgeons treated the fracture by open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF) and they came to agree that ORIF of fractures were very difficult technically. We tried plate and screw fixation for a subtrochanteric fracture of femur in a 20-year-old osteopetrosis patient who have already had 4 previous long bone fractures. 1. We changed drill bit everytime for every screw hole penetration and it took about 2 minutes for a hole. 2. ORIF is adventageous in fracture of suitable location in osteopetrosis patient.
