The Short Term Results of Radial Head Arthroplasty with Unipolar Loose Fit Stem: Su Keon Lee, Kyeong Seop Song, Seung Hwan Lee, Sang Pil Yoon, Sang Youn Lim; J Korean Fract Soc 2015;28(2):125-131. Published online April 30, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2015.28.2.125

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
We report short-term results of radial head prosthesis using a unipolar loose fit stem in ten patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten patients with Mason type three radial head fracture, who received unipolar radial head arthroplasty from February 2010 to June 2011, were evaluated (mean follow-up: 22 months, range: 18-30 months). Subjects consisted of five men and five women. Range of elbow motion was measured. Mayo elbow performance index (MEPI) score was used for functional evaluation and periodic radiological imaging was performed to evaluate the stability of implant.
RESULTS
After an average follow-up of 22 months, elbow stability was maintained in all cases, and the average range of motion of elbow flexion and extension was 6 to 130 degrees. Average range of pronation and supination was 66 and 74 degrees, respectively. MEPI score was evaluated as excellent in seven cases, and good in three cases. On final follow-up, radiological assessment showed implant stability in all cases without evidence of dislocation, subluxation, arthritis, periprosthetic osteolysis or heterotopic ossification.
CONCLUSION
Based on our short-term follow-up, radial head arthroplasty with unipolar loose fit stem is a useful method for obtaining satisfactory outcome for unreducible comminuted radial head fractures.

Surgical Management of Comminuted Avulsion Fracture of the Proximal Fibula with Lateral Collateral Ligament Injury: Technical Note: Jong Min Kim, Byeong Mun Park, Sang Hoo Lee, Seung Ju Jeon, Jun Beum Shin, Kyeong Seop Song; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(1):77-80. Published online January 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.1.77

Anteromedial force to the knee in an extended position can cause an avulsion fracture of the proximal fibula with combined injuries to the posterolateral ligaments. Avulsion fractures of the proximal fibula are rare and current management of these fractures is based on few descriptions in literature. Various surgical methods of fixation for these fractures have been reported, but there is still no standard treatment modality. Anatomic reduction of these fractures is technically difficult, and failure of reduction may cause posterolateral instability, secondary arthritis and other complications. We present our experience with two such cases of comminuted avulsion fractures of the proximal fibular with posterolateral ligament ruptures surgically fixated with a locking compression hook plate and non absorbable sutures.

Simultaneous Bilateral Proximal Femoral Fracture associated with Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure: A Case Report: Sang Hoo Lee, Kyeong Seop Song, Seung Joo Jeon, Seong Hwan Hong; J Korean Fract Soc 2012;25(1):69-72. Published online January 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2012.25.1.69

Abstract PDF: Simultaneous bilateral proximal femoral fractures are extremely rare, and a few have been reported in and outside the country. It may have various causes, and most cases were associated with major trauma, repetitive minor trauma, seizure, parathyroid or renal dysfunction, and anti-epileptic medications. We experienced a case of simultaneous bilateral proximal femoral fractures after generalized tonic-clonic seizure in a 70-year-old female. Herein, we report it with a review of the literature.

Double Tension Band Wire Fixation for Unstable Fracture of the Distal Clavicle: Kyeong Seop Song, Hyung Gyu Kim, Byeong Mun Park, Jong Min Kim, Sung Hoon Jung, Bong Seok Yang; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(1):24-29. Published online January 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.1.24

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical results after operative treatment with the double tension band wire fixation in Neer type II and III distal clavicle fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten patients with type II and III distal clavicle fractures were evaluated, who operated with double tension band wire fixation technique, from Febrary 2007 to June 2008, and could be followed-up for more than 1 year after operation. Postoperative assessments were evaluated on plain x-ray, pain, and clinical finding according to the functional criteria by Kona et al.
RESULTS
Average duration from operation to fracture union was 8 weeks in all cases. There were 8 excellent and 2 good results. It was no other significant complications such as K-wire migration, breakage, infection, and AC joint arthritis.
CONCLUSION
Double tension band wire fixation technique seems to be an effective method for type II or III distal clavicle fracture with multiple compressive axis, without injury of the AC joint and loosening of the fixation.

Operative Treatment of Intraarticular Calcaneal Fracture: Comparison of Outcomes between Open Reduction and Closed Reduction: Chang Hun Sung, Byeong Mun Park, Kyeong Seop Song, Hyung Gyu Kim, Jong Min Kim, Tae Eun Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(2):170-175. Published online April 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.2.170

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiographic results of operative treatment for intraarticular calcaneal fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 57 cases of intraarticular calcaneal fracture managed with operative treatment, from January, 2000 to June, 2003. The type of intraarticular calcaneal fracture is classified by the Essex-Lopresti classification and Sanders by computed tomography. The 20 cases were managed by open reduction, 37 cases by closed reduction.
RESULTS
On clinical outcomes in the case of open reduction and internal fixation, above good in 13 cases, poor in 2 cases; closed reduction, above good in 16 cases, poor in 10 cases. Averages of Bohler angle were increased from 11degrees (preoperative state) to 21degrees (last follow up) in open reduction, and from 14degrees to 20.9degrees in closed reduction.
CONCLUSION
Open reduction was considered to be one of good treatment option if the anatomical reduction and stable fixation can be obtained.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To compare the result of failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures treated with arthroplasty and 95degrees angled blade plate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From June 2000 to may 2003, there were 12 cases with failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures among 185 cases treated with dynamic hip screw and followed up for more than 1 year. The 4 cases were treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty, 1 case with total hip arthroplasty, and other 7 cases were treated with 95degrees angled blade plate with allograft, evaluated clinically the operation times, blood loss, walking ability and complication.
RESULTS
In the 7 cases, which treated with 95degrees angled blade plate, the average operation time was 109 minutes, the average blood loss was 431 ml. The result of keeping abreast of 1 year, no aid ambulation was 4 cases, the cane ambulation was 2 cases, the walker ambulation was 1 case, and there was no pain in 3 cases, mild pain in 4 cases, and no moderate pain. In the 5 cases, which treated with arthroplasty, the average operation time was 157 minutes, the average blood loss was 618 ml. During 1 year, no aid ambulation was 3 cases, the cane ambulation was 1 case, the walker ambulation was 1 case, and no pain in 2 cases, mild pain in 1 case, moderate pain in 1 case.
CONCLUSION
Both 95degrees angled blade plate and arthroplasty can be useful for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures, and the choice of implant must be determined with caution, considering the surgical conditions of patient, as well as benefits of each devices

Clavicle Fracture in Newborn: Kyeong Seop Song, Byeong Mun Park, Young Hun Kang; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(1):55-58. Published online January 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.1.55

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify the incidence of clavicle fracture in birth trauma associated with delivery, fetal presentation, birth weight and to identify the difference of the prognosis of clavicle fracture when immobilization was performed or not.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among the 12,738 live births from March 1996 to December 2000, we reveiwed retrospectively the medical records and radiographs of 39 cases of clavicle fracture which were followed for more than 6 months. Statistical analysis was measured P-value. Except 11 cases that diagnosis was delayed, 27 cases were treated with figure of 8-bandage, and 1 case, which was combined with humerus fracture, was treated with long arm cast.
RESULTS
Among 39 cases infants of clavicle fracture, 36 cases (0.57%) were delivered through vaginal delivery, 3 cases (0.04%) through ceasarean section. Fetal presentations were cephalic presentation in 29 cases, shoulder dystocia in 8 cases, breech presentation in 2 cases. The mean birth weight was 3.8 kg, the high prevalence (8.5%) was identified on large birth weight infants more than 4 kg (p<0.05). The fracture site was proximal portion in 12 cases, middle portion in 27 cases and right clavicle in 24 cases, left clavicle in 13 cases and both clavicle in 1 case. The combined injuries were the brachial plexus palsy (2 cases), skull fracture (1 case) and cephalhematoma (1 case). Finally all cases of clavicle fracture were shown radiographically bony union within 3 weeks.
CONCLUSION
The newborn clavicle fractures were remarkably low incidence in cesarean section delivery and were easily neglected, and were detected accidentally on simple chest X-ray that was performed for upper respiratory infection. As a conclusion, it is necessary of screening test through careful physical examination and X-ray interpretation.
