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.
