- PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of interlocking humeral nail for femur shaft fractures through the greater trochanter in older children and adolescent.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eleven femoral shaft fractures in ten patients were selected. They were consisted of 9 boys and 1 girl. Two patients had osteogenesis imperfecta and one patient had a simple bone cyst as an underlying disease. 7 cases were right side and 4 cases were left side. The mean age at the time of operation was 12 years and 7 months (8 years 11 months~15 years 7 months). The mean follow-up period was 21 months and interlocking humeral nail was inserted at the greater trochanter in all patients.
RESULTS
All patients had a complete bony union without any complication such as infection, nonunion, leg length discrepancy and metal failure. Avascular necrosis of femoral head and coxa valga were not developed in all patients.
CONCLUSION
Intramedullary nailing through the greater trochanter using interlocking humeral nail is effective and safe treatment for the femoral shaft fracture in older children and adolescents.

- PURPOSE
To suggest the most reliable guideline of the treatement for the supracondylar fracture in children by the comparison of the radiographic parameters between forearm supination-elbow extension and forearm pronation-elbow flexion view.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of seventy-one patients were included in the study. Baumann, metaphyseal diaphyseal and medial epicondylar epiphyseal angle of normal elbow in extension and flexion view were compared. Finally, the results of Group I (operation with elbow extension view) and Group II (operation with elbow flexion view) were compared.
RESULTS
Intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability were better in the Baumann angle with extension view and metaphyseal diaphyseal angle with flexion view. In extension view, Baumann and metaphyseal diaphyseal angle show negative correlation with carrying angle but in flexion view, only metaphyseal diaphyseal angle shows negative correlation. Baumann angle were greater in flexion view and medial epicondylar epiphyseal angle were greater in extension view. There was no statistical difference in the final results of Group I and II.
CONCLUSION
Baumann angle was more effective in forearm supination-elbow extension view and metaphyseal diaphyseal angle was more effective in forearm pronation-elbow flexion view. The difference between elbow extension and flexion view should be considered during operation.

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy of the in situ late osteosynthesis for slightly displaced fractures of the lateral humeral condyle.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From 2000 to 2004, 12 patients (8 boys and 4 girls) were managed with in situ late osteosynthesis for fractures of the lateral humeral condyle. The average age at the time of operation was 6 years 1 month (1 year 7 months~9 years 1 month), and the mean amount of fragment displacement was 3.3 mm (2.0~4.5 mm). The operative procedure included curettage and in situ fixation of the fragment RESULTS: Bony union was achieved in all cases after avg. 48 months (33~73 months) follow-up assessment. According to the score system of Dhillon et al, 7 patients had excellent, 3 had good, 2 had fair results. None of the patients developed avascular necrosis or premature closure of the epiphysis.
CONCLUSION
We suggest that in situ fixation is an effective method for the late treatment of slightly displaced fracture of the lateral humeral condyle.
