- PURPOSE
To compare the result between the third generation gamma nail (gamma 3 nail) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between March 2009 and June 2011, 47 consecutive patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures were treated with gamma 3 nail or PFNA. We reviewed 24 cases of gamma 3 nail and 23 cases of PFNA. Retrospectively, we evaluated the mean operation time, amount of bleeding, average union period, reduction status, change of neck shaft angle, Tip-apex distance, Cleveland index, sliding of lag screw and complication on set of telephone interview and outpatient. We also evaluated the postoperative capability of function and mobility, using 'Modified Koval index'.
RESULTS
There were no significant differences between the groups, which were treated with gamma 3 nail and PFNA. In addition, they did not show statistical difference. We experienced 2 cases of complication (gamma 3 nail 1 case, PFNA 1 case), which were cut-out of the femoral head.
CONCLUSION
The gamma 3 nail and PFNA were seen with good results in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture.

- PURPOSE
To report the clinical results of surgical treatment of clavicle shaft fracture by percutaneous reduction with towel clips and percutaneous intramedullary pin fixation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study reviewed the results of 80 cases of clavicle shaft fracture treated by percutaneous reduction with towel clips and percutaneous intramedullary pin fixation with Steinmann pins from January 2002 to August 2010, after follow-up for 12 months or more. We evaluated the clinical results, such as union time and complications.
RESULTS
Bone union was evident in all cases and the mean time for bone union to appear on radiological findings was 10.3 weeks. Using Kang's criteria, 78 of the 80 patients (97.5%) showed good results and there were no severe complications.
CONCLUSION
Percutaneous reduction with towel clips and the percutaneous intramedullary pin fixation method showed good results for treating clavicle shaft fracture.
