Old Atlantoaxial Rotary Subluxation Associated with High-riding Vertebral Arteries: Arthrodesis Using C1 Lateral Mass Screws and C2 Laminar Screws: A Case Report: Kyeong Hwan Kim, Jin Sup Yeom, Kun Woo Park, Soon Woo Hong, Bong Soon Chang, Choon Ki Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(1):90-93.

To the best of our knowledge, there has been no domestic report on posterior atlantoaxial fusion with segmental screw fixation using C2 laminar screws and C1 lateral mass screws for atlantoaxial subluxation. We report the result of this operation performed in a patient with old atlantoaxial rotary subluxation who required posterior fusion. We chose this technique in this patient because wire fixation was not suitable due to osteoporosis, and transarticular screw fixation and use of C2 pedicle screws were not feasible due to the peculiar bony anatomy of the axis.

Treatment of the Open Tibial Fractures with Unreamed AO Intramedullary Nail: Bum Soo Kim, Sung Do Cho, Yong Sun Cho, Soon Woo Hong, Hyung Jin Cho, Ki Yong Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(1):81-86. Published online January 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.1.81

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the results of open tibial fractures treated with unreamed AO intramedullary nail MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among the patiens of open tibial fractures who were treated with unreamed AO intramedullary nail from January 1993 to August 1998, the authors reviewed 34 patients whose follow-up was possible for more than one year. Fourteen patients were treated with AO external fixator after meticulous debridement, followed by unreamed AO intramedullary nailing, and the other 20 patients were treated with primary unreamed AO intramedullary nailing after debridement. The authors evaluated the results by the union time and the presence of complication.
RESULTS
The average union time was 26.3 weeks. There was no significant difference of union time and complications between the patients who were treated with AO exteranl fixator followed by unreamed AO intramedullary nailing and the patients who were treated primarily with debridement and unreamed AO intramedullary nailing. However there was high incidence(21%) of interlocking screw breakage.
CONCLUSION
With meticulous debridement and close observation of the wound, the open tibial fractures can be effectively treated with unreamed AO intramedullay nailing. Unreamed intramedullary nailing of open tibial fractures immediately after trauma can be recommended in selected cases.

Operative Treatment of Metacarpal Shaft Fracture: Bum Soo Kim, Sung Do Cho, Yong Sun Cho, Tae Woo Park, Hwa Chel Cheong, Soon Woo Hong, Soo Hyun Cho; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(3):720-726. Published online July 31, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.3.720

Abstract PDF

The goal of treatment of fractures of the metacarpals includes the restoration or preservation of hand function. To accomplish this goal, the physician must select a method that will offer the least soft tissue damage and accelerate the mobilization of the injured part as soon as the fracture stability permits. The majority of fractures of metacarpals can be effectively treated by nonoperative approach, but when several metacarpals are fractured, when there is open soft tissue trauma, and when there are displaced fractures that cannot be reduced or cannot maintain the reduction, internal fixation is indicated. The authors reviewed 117 cases of metacarpal shaft fractures on which the operative treatment was performed. Closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation were performed on the 62 cases, open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation were performed on the 12 cases, closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation were performed on the 16 cases, and open reduction and plate and screw fixation were performed on the 27 cases. The patient was followed up for 36 months in average. The results were evaluated on the basis of total active motion of the fingers. The results were satisfactory in 92 percent of the cases in closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation cases, 75 percent in open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation cases, 85 percents in open reduction and plate and screw fixation cases, and all the cases of the patients in the closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation cases. The closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation provided relatively stable fixation and minimal soft tissue injury, so the injured hand could be mobilized soon after the operation, and consequentely the excellent outcome was accomplished. So the authors suggest that in selected cases, the closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation can be used as one of the good treatment methods in the treatment of metacarpal fractures.
