Comparison of Uniportal and Biportal Vertebroplasty in Bone Cement Distribution and Leakage: Jae Hyup Lee, Kang Sup Yoon, Seung Baik Kang, Hyunchul Jo, Sang Ki Lee, Bong Soon Chang, Choon Ki Lee, Ji Ho Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):471-476. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.471

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the differences of radiological outcomes of uniportal and biportal vertebroplasty in the point of bone cement distribution and leakage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A retrospective study reviewing the period between May 2002 and January 2006 investigated 100 vertebrae which underwent vertebroplasty and followed for more than three months by uniportal approach (55 vertebrae, group 1) and biportal approach (45 vertebrae, group 2). The operative time, the amount of bone cement injected, anterior vertebral height restoration, kyphotic angle, bone cement distribution, and bone cement leakage were evaluated.
RESULTS
The amount of injected bone cement of group 1 (3.9 cc) was statistically smaller than that of group 2 (5.1 cc) (p=0.016). There were no significant differences in the operative time, anterior vertebral height restoration, kyphotic angle in both groups. The rate of bone cement distribution over 8 zones was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (p=0.014). However, the rate of bone cement distribution over 7 zones and the rate of bone cement distributed on whole anterior vertebral body were not significantly different in both groups. The cement leakage was not also significantly different in both groups.
CONCLUSION
Although the amount of injected bone cement was smaller in uniportal vertebroplasty, the radiological results and cement leakage were similar to biportal vertebroplasty. These findings suggest that uniportal vertebroplasty can be the operative options in osteoporotic vertebral fracture.

Cemented Hemiarthroplasty in Femoral Neck Fractures over 70 Years : A Matched-Pair Analysis of unipolar and Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty: Kang Sup Yoon, Seung Baik Kang, Ji Ho Lee, Jin Soo Tark, Hyeok Rhyou; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(4):773-779. Published online October 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.4.773

PURPOSE
: The goal of treatment in elderly patients with hip fractures is restoration of function We analysed the clinical efficacy of the cemented unipolar hemiarthroplasty and bipolar hemiarthroplalty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients over 70 years. Twenty-four pairs of patients who had a cemented hemiarthroplasty were studied with a retrospective and matched-pair analysis. Half of the patients had received a cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty and the other half, a cemented unipolar hemiarthroplasty The patients were matched for age, sex, femoral head size, physical status and the ability to walk. At one year follow-up, the frequency of the pain and the limp were 41.7% and 54.2%, respectively, in the unipolar group and 45.8% and 45.8%, respertively, in the bipolar group. The ability to live independently was 66.7% in the unipolar group and 79.2% in the bipolar group. None of these differences were statistically significant. The frequency of the return to the level of function before injury was 37.5% in unipolar group and 45.8% in the bipolar group, which was also not significantly different. Flexion of the hip joint was 96.7+/-6.9 in unipolar group and 101.5+/-7.3 in the bipolar group(p=0.02). Abduction and rotational motion was not significantly different in two groups. There were no revisions in either group. Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty did not show better clinical results than cemented unipolar group.

Results of cross pinning fixation for supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children: considering adequate reduction and instability: Jong Hun Jee, Bong Soon Chang, Seung Baik Kang, Choong Hee Won, Eui Seong Choi; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(4):985-993. Published online October 31, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.4.985

Abstract PDF: The supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common fracture of the elbow in children. New trends of treatment is that if satisfactory reduction is achieved by manual reduction, medial and lateral cross percutaneous pin fixation is better than others for stable fixation. Among many complications, cubitus varus deformity most commonly results from inaccurate reduction and failure in maintenance of fixation. The obliquity of the fracture, together with internal rotation, causes angular deformity. The angulation and coronal rotation, or tilting of distal fragment, often cause the deformity and limitation of motion of elbow. The porty-two Gartland type II, III supracondylar fractures of the humerus were treated by losed reduction or open reduction with percutaneous pinning or internal fixation from May 1993 to December 1995. The results were as follows; 1. the frequency of difference above 5degree in Baumann's angle was relatively high if fracture line is oblique on lateral roentgenogram or medial column comminution is present, that means unstable reduction. 2. In average, 2.7 pins were needed for reduction and maintenance of stability at this time. 3. Even though a few degree of rotation(5mm), translation(2-4mm) and angulation(5-10degree) were present at immediate reduction, carrying angle and Baumann's angle of follow-up period were often remained about the similar values compared with healthy side. If acceptable intraoperative carrying angle was achieved and a few degree of rotation, translation and angulation were permitted after reduction, varus deformity and limitation of motion of elbow were rerely caused. so repeating forceful manual reduction for anatomical reduction must be avoided because the final results may become progressively remodelled to normal.

Clinical Result of Surgical Treatment in Distal Femur Fractures using Dynamic Compression Screw and Blade Plate: Seung Baik Kang, Joong Hee Won, Bong Soon Chang, Eui Seong Choi, Jin Seon Yoo, Hee Joong Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1996;9(3):557-566. Published online July 31, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1996.9.3.557

Abstract PDF: The fracture of distal femur, which include the supracondylar region, intercondylar region and knee joint, have many problems by nature. It is almost all comminuted fracture and has a some difficulty in approach. Early attempts at internal fixation frequently gave unacceptably high rates of malunion, nonunion, and infection. Traditionally, nonsurgical treatment has been favored. Over the past 15 years, improved and meticulous techniques of internal fixation has been shown to yield good to excellent results. Also a number of excellent devices are now available. We reviewed the patients who were admitted for fractures of the distal femur and were treated by the surgical treatments at department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chungbuk National University Hospital from July 1993 through Augrst 1994. Fourteen cases were followed for more than one year. An average age at operation was 54 years (range, 18-74 years). The analysis group consisted of 9 males and 5 females. The cause of injuries were motor cycle injury in 8 cases, in-car accident in 2 cases, pedestrian injury in 2 cases and fall down in 2 cases. According to the classifications of AO, 4 cases were type Al, 2 were type A2, 2 were type A3, Cl was 1 case, C2 were 2 cases and C3 were 3 cases. Open fractures were 2 cases. Blade plate was used in 10 cases and DCS(dynamic compression screw) in 4 cases. With serial follow-up X-ray, ROM of knee and Neers scoring system, evaluation was performed. Excellent or good results were obtained in 13 cases (93%). Deep infection was developed in one case. At last follow-up, ROM was satisfactory. Blad plate was very useful for severe osteoporotic patient. For comminuted, displaced intra-articular fractures such as Type C, extensile surgical approach was most useful.

Treatment of femoral Shaft Fractures with Static Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing: Choong Hee Won, Seung Baik Kang, Kun Shin, Kyung Chul Jeon, Jin Sun Yoe, Kwan Hwan Jang; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(3):533-537. Published online July 31, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.3.533

Abstract PDF

We managed thirty-five patients who had a fracture of the femoral shaft with interlocking fixation and twenty-five of thirty-five patients healed without conversion to dynamic intramedullary fixation and followed more than a year. The results of treatment of fractures of the femoral shaft with static interlocking nailing were reviewed. The average duration of follow-up was sixteen months(range, twelve to twenty-four months). Radiographic consolidation was seen in all fractures at a median of sixteen weeks(range, eight to twenty weeks). There were no non-unions. We concluded that routine conversion of static interlocking to dynamic interlocking is not necessary in the intramedullary nailing of the femur shaft fractures.
