Risk Factors of New Compression Fractures in Adjacent Vertebrae after Percutaneous Vertebroplasty: Myung Ho Kim, Sang Hyuk Min, Suk Ha Jeon; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(3):260-265. Published online July 31, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.3.260

PURPOSE
To evaluate the risk factors related to the development of new fractures in adjacent vertebrae after vertebroplasty.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was conducted on 46 patients in whom 296 patients were performed during last 9 years. We were especially concerned with the restoration rate of vertebral height and kyphotic angle and estimated them on simple X-ray films.
RESULTS
In patients experienced subsequent vertebral fractures and no subsequent vertebral fractures after vertebroplasty, the mean height restoration rate of treated vertebra were 16.7% and 7.07%, and the kyphotic angle difference were 2.53 degree and 4.2 degree. The greater degree of height restoration of the vertebral body, especially in middle vertebral height and the lesser degree of kyphotic angle difference increased the risk of adjacent vertebral fracture risk. This results were available statistically (all p<0.05, Logistic regression test, SPSS 13.0).
CONCLUSION
It may be thought that the vertebral body height restoration rate will become risk factor of adjacent vertebral fractures.

Primary Subtalar Arthrodesis for the Treatment of Intra-articular Calcaneal Comminuted Fractures: Hong Geun Jung, Yu Jin Kim, Suk Ha Jeon; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):418-423. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.418

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the functional outcomes of the severely comminuted intra-articular calcaneal fractures that were selectively treated with primary subtalar arthrodesis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study is based on the 9 patients, 10 feet of intra-articular severely comminuted calcaneal fractures that were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with primary subtalar arthrodesis due to inability to reconstruct the subtalar articular surface with follow-up of more than 1 year. Postoperative clinical evaluation was performed with AOFAS Hindfoot functional scores. The patient satisfaction, returning to previous occupation and complications were also investigated.
RESULTS
Follow-up period was average 20.3 months. Overall AOFAS functional score at final follow-up was average 71.8 points and VAS pain score was 3.9. Fifty percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery and 80% of the patients were able to return to their previous occupations at average 8.4 months after trauma. Post-operative complications were 2 cases of sural nerve injuries and 1 hindfoot valgus malunion.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that the primary subtalar arthrodesis is a viable surgical option for severely comminuted calcaneal fractures with favorable functional result and early returning of most patients to their previous occupations.

Treatment of Diaphyseal Fractures of Forearm Both Bones: Comparison between Plate Fixation and Rush Pin Intramedullary Nailing: Myung Ho Kim, Moon Jib Yoo, Hong Geun Jung, Hee Gon Park, Woo Sup Byun, Ji Yong Chun, Suk Ha Jeon; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(2):215-220. Published online April 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.2.215

Abstract

PURPOSE
To compare the functional results between the plate fixation and Rush pin insertion for the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the forearm both bones.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 51 patients who were treated for diaphyseal fractures of the both forearm bones from 1995 to 2003, and evaluated them with Anderson's method. Eighteen patients were treated with plate fixation of both bones (group I), 14 patients treated with of the Rush pin insertion of the radius and plate fixation of the ulna (group II), 11 patients treated with plate fixation of the radius and Rush pin insertion of the ulna (group III), and 8 patients treated with Rush pin insertion of forearm both bones (group IV).
RESULTS
Seventeen out of eighteen cases obtained favorable result (94.4%) in group I, 12 out of 14 cases (85.7%) in group II, 7 out of 11 cases (63.3%) in group III, and 4 out of 8 cases (50.0%) in group IV with statistically significant differences between the groups (p=0.04).
CONCLUSION
Plate fixation of forearm both bones yield the best result. Thus, plate fixation of both forearm bones is recommended in treating the diaphyseal fractures of both forearm bones. At least one bone is recommended to be fixed with a plate if it is not possible to fix both forearm bones with plates.
