Modified Tension Band Wiring using Cortical Screw for Medial Malleolar Fractures: Ho Rim Choi, Hyun Woo Doh, Byoung Heum Kim, Kyou Hyeun Kim, Jong Seok Park, Joon Min Song; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):319-322. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.319

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical results of modified tension band wire technique using cortical screw for treatment of displaced medial malleolar fractures of the ankle.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 2001 to January 2003, 24 patients were treated by modified tension band wiring using cortical screw for medial malleolar fracture. The follow-up period was 12~35 months (average 18 months). There were 13 males and 11 females, and the mean age was 46 years. Fractures were classified by Lauge-Hansen's classification. The results were analyzed by Meyer and Kumler's criteria.
RESULTS
There were 13 cases (54%) of excellent, 9 cases (38%) of good, and one case of fair because of limitation of motion of the ankle joint and one case of poor which showed post-traumatic arthritis of the ankle.
CONCLUSION
Modified tension band wire technique using cortical screw can be an effective operative method for the treatment of displaced medial malleolar fractures of the ankle.

Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty Using Calcar Replacement Stem for Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures in Elderly Patients: Duk Hwan Kho, Kyou Hyeun Kim, Ju Young Shin, Sin Woo Lim, Dong Heon Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(1):22-28. Published online January 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.1.22

PURPOSE
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the operating time, timing of ambulation, functional results and complications using the calcar replacement stem for the severely comminuted unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From August 1991 through January 2001, 20 elderly patients over the 75 year old patients had undergone bipolar hemiarthroplasty with calcar replacement stem for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
RESULTS
The mean operating time was 45 minutes and mean Harris Hip Score was 84.7. Ambulation with walker was started at post-operative 8 days and full weight bearing was 6.9 weeks, each. Complications were 2 cases of wound infection, 1 case of severe thigh pain and 1 case of dislocation.
CONCLUSION
Early ambulation, functional restoration and decrease of the complications with bipolar hemiarthroplasty using calcar replacement stem for severely comminuted unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, therefore this methods seems to be one of the effective treatments.

Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus in a Hemophiliac with Antibodies to Factor VIII - A Case Report: Duk Hwan Kho, Dong Heon Kim, Kyou Hyeun Kim, Sin Woo Lim; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(1):82-86. Published online January 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.1.82

Abstract PDF: Fractures in hemophiliacs with antibodies to factor VIII are very rare, and the presence of antibodies to factor VIII in the patient`s blood makes antihemophilic replacement therapy and operative treatment extremely difficult. We treated one case of supracondylar fracture of the humerus in hemophiliac with antibodies to factor VIII surgically and present that case with a review of the literature.

Treatment of intertrochanteric fractures with bipolar hemiarthroplasty in the elderly: Kyou hyeun Kim, Duk hwan Kho, Joon ho Yang, Dong heon Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2001;14(2):174-180. Published online April 30, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2001.14.2.174

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To compare the timing of ambulation, complications and functional results between the autogenous femoral head graft and the calcar replacement type stem in the severe comminuted fracture of the elderly patients with unstability.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
25 intertrochanteric femoral fracture patients who had bipolar hemiarthroplasty were followed for more than 1 year. 17 patients had autogenous femoral head graft and 8 patients had calcar replacement type stem.
RESULT
The mean operating time for autogenous femoral head graft was 1.7 hours, and calcar replacement type stem was 1.3 hours. Postoperative Harris functional score was 84.1 for the autogenous femoral head graft group and 82.2 for the calcar replacement type stem group.
Discussion
: Both autogenous femoral head graft augmentation and fixation using the calcar replacement type stem result in rigid fixation, which enables the patients to ambulate early and to have low complication rate. Both techniques seem to be effective for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.

Treatment of Humeral Shaft Nonunion after Primary Internal Fixat: Kwang Won Lee, Kyou Hyeun Kim, Whoan Jeang Kim, Ha Yong Kim, Jae Hoon Ahn, Yong Bum Park, Won Sik Choy; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):704-711. Published online July 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.3.704

Abstract PDF: We retrospectively reviewed one hundred fifty-two patients who were treated for humeral shaft fractures at Eul-Ji Medical College hospital from Jan 1991 to June 1997. We experienced twenty one cases of nonunion among them after primary internal fixation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible causes of nonunion and to find out adequate treatments. The main cause of nonunion was an inadequate fixation (57%). The most common fracture pattern was simple transverse type(22%), and it occurred most frequently at the middle one third area of humeral shaft(22%). For the treatment of nonunion, the plate fixation was done in ten cases, interlocking intramedullary nailing in three cases, bone graft only in six cases, and external fixation using monofixator(Orthofix) in two cases. We obtained complete bony union from all cases, and the average union time was 17.5 weeks. Our study showed that higher incidence of nonunion was found in primary intramedullary nailing cases(19%) than in primary plate fixation cases(4%). In conclusion, close attention should be paid when choose the primary fixation method, and plate fixation and bone graft was considered as one of the useful treatment method of nonunion.

A Comparison of Plate Fixation with Intramedullary Nailing in Humeral Shaft Fracture: Kwang Won Lee, Kyou Hyeun Kim, Ha Yong Kim, Young Sik Min, Hwan Jung Kim, Won Sik Choy; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(4):785-792. Published online October 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.4.785

Abstract PDF: We evaluated prospectively ninety-two patients out of 130 humeral shaft fractures requiring surgical stabilization from January 1991 to December 1995. Among them, thirty-one patients received open reduction and internal fixation with plate & screws(PLT). Thirty-one patients received closed reduction & antegrade intramedullary nail fixation(IMN). Thirty patients received closed reduction & antegrade and retrograde endernail fixation(EN). Average follow-up period was 20.7 months. Eleven patients had primary radial nerve palsies. The higher incidence of nonunion was found on IMN(42%), and EN(20%), than PLT(8%). We concluded that the result of IMN was not superior to that of PLT or EN.
