Operative Treatments of the Tibial Pilon Fractures: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suck Ha Lee, Dong Ki Lee, Yong Chan Lim, Jae Joon Shin; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(2):390-397. Published online April 30, 1998; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1998.11.2.390

Treatment of tibial pilon fractures is difficult to manage because of its comminuted pattern of the intra-articular fracture of the ankle, the articular incongruity, associated with soft tissue injury and its complication. The modern concept of fracture mordality are the open anatomical reduction, stable internal fixation with correct length of fibula and functional aftercare. We analyzed 17 cases which underwent open reduction and internal fixation for the tibial pilon fracture at the Korea Veterans Hospital from March 1990 to September 1996. 1. The most common type was type III according to Ruedi and Allgower's classification. 2. The treatment was open reduction and internal fixation in all cases and the results were above fair by Ovadia and Beals criteria in 16 cases. 3. The union of fracture was taken in all cases and the duration of union was average 14 weeks. 4. The most common complication was the limitation of ROM in the ankle joint.

Treatment of Chronic Uncontrolled Infected Nonunion of Femur and Knee with the Ilizarov Instrument: 3 cases reports: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suck Ha Lee, Hyung Gon Jee; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(4):801-811. Published online October 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.4.801

Abstract PDF: We analysed three cases, repectively. The first case was chronic uncontrolled infected nonunion of femur due to open type III fracture which had been operated unsuccessfully at least 5 times. The second case was a infected nonunion and shortening of leg due to infecton of soft tissue surgery and then after knee arthrodesis. The third case was result from the total knee arthroplasty failure and then after knee arthrodesis. Ilizarov instrument was applied to this case for the knee joint arthrodesis. All cases showed bony union after average 14.6 months. The exact bony lengthening in the two cases after treatment was 11cm and 13cm and the healing index was 49.Odays/cm and 50.8days/cm The complications included the pin tract infection in all three cases and pin breakage in 2 of the cases. We achieved bony lengthening and bony union with relief of infection in 3 cases of chronic uncontrolled infected nonunion of femur treated with extensive saucerizaton and fixation using the Ilizarov instrument. These are the results of our treatment of chroic uncontrolled infected nonunion of femur using the Ilizarov instrument.

The Classiflcation and Management of Intraarticular Calcaneal Fracture Based on Computed Tomography: Jae lk Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suck Ha Lee, Chang Moo You, Young Bae Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1996;9(3):742-749. Published online July 31, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1996.9.3.742

Abstract PDF

Displaced intraarticular fractures of the calaneus require operative intervention to restore the anatomy of the bone, which in turn is the requirement for recovery of subtalar joint mobility. To evaluate the complex contour of calcaneal anatomy, a classification for intraarticular calcaneal fractures was used, based on standardized coronal and transverse computed tomography scans of os calsis. From January 1993 to December 1994, intraarticular calcaneal fractures of 47 cases treated in Korea Veterans Hospital were analysed preoperatively with C.T. scan and classified by Sandersclassification system. And clinical evaluation of the patients was done by Maryland Foot Score postoperatively. The result were as follows:Type I fractures were found in 10 cases. 25 cases of 47 cases were classified as type II and subdivided as II A in 13 cases, II B in 6 cases, II C in 6 cases. Type III fractures were found in 8 cases and subdivied as III AB in 4 cases, III BC in 3 cases, III AC in 1 case. Type IV fractures were found in 4 cases. This classification aids a surgeon to make perioperative decision, because it has prognostic significance.
