Interlocking Nailing in Segmental Tibial Fractures: The Problems of the Fractures involving Proximal Portion: Ki Soo Kim, June Young Song, Kwang Soo Shon, Joon Han Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(4):912-920. Published online October 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.4.912

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To analyze the clinical features and treatment results of the tibial segmental fractures with the interlocking nailing. To compare the results between the segmental fractures with (Group I) or without (Group II) involving proximal portion of the tibia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We analyzed 16 patients, 16 cases of the tibial segmental fractures treated with the interlocking nailing between April 1993 and November 1998.
RESULTS
We obtained solid bone union for all cases and relatively good clinical results. The average bone union time was 20.6 weeks. The functional results were excellent in 7 cases, good in 6 cases and fair in 3 cases. There were 8 cases of malunion. The comparison between Group I and Group II revealed no remarkable differences for bone union time, functional results and complications. But the tendency of the malunion was more higher in Group I.
CONCLUSION
For segmental tibial fractures, interlocking nailing showed good clinical results. We propose that open reduction and internal fixation should be done before interlocking nailing of the fractures involving proximal portion of the tibia.

Operative treatment of displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus: Ki Soo Kim, Yong Soo Choi, seung Chae Han, Kwang Soo Shon; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(4):894-899. Published online October 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.4.894

As technology in imaging has improved, we have learned more of the anatomical features of these fractures, and onw several objective studies in the literature with sufficient follow up recommend surgical treatment for some displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneu. The purpose of this study is to report the results of the open reduction with rigid internal fixation for displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus. from March 1994 to December 1996, the author managed twenty-nine displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus in twenty-three patients with open reduction via extended lateral approach and internal fixation using the plate. The fractures were classified according to Essex-Lopresti with the lateral radiograph and according to Sanders with the computed tomograph. Clinical results were assessed the pain, activity, return to work, range of motion, change in shoe size and swelling from creighton-Nebraska health foundation assessment. Among the 29 cases, satisfactory results were obtained in 24 cases(82.9%). We assessed the radioolgic objective parameters such as Bohler angle, crucial angle, height and width of the calcaneus, and the arthritis of the subtalar joint. Radiologically, we showed satisfactory restoration of the calcaneal morphology and severe subtalar arthritis in 4 cases. We found the negative correation between the clinical results and the radiological subtalar arthritis(P=0.038). In managing displaced intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus, open reduction via extended lateral approach and rigid internal fixation seemed to be useful method.
