- PURPOSE
Retrograde intrameullary nail is one of the treatment of periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fracture after total knee replacement (TKR), but all TKRs will not permit to insert a supracondylar nail. Therefore, we have investigated the compatibility of the TKRs with supracondylar nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Using trial femoral component of the 5 used TKRs in Korea and saw bone model, we checked their compatibility and measured the dimensions of the intercondylar notches in both cruciate retaining (CR) and posterior stabilized (PS) type.
RESULTS
Although most CR prostheses had an intercondylar notch large enough to accept a supracondylar nail, in some case, this was not possible due to the notch being situated too far posteriorly. The position of the intercondylar notch is also important factor in the PS prostheses.
CONCLUSION
The notch position, rather than the notch size, was the most important factor in determining nail compatibility with femoral stem.

- PURPOSE
To evaluate the overall surgical outcome of the tibial pilon comminuted fractures and perform the comparative analysis between the limited internal fixation-external fixation group and the delayed open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF) group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From June 1997 to June 2004, 17 tibial pilon comminuted fractures were treated with the limited internal fixation-external fixation (6 cases) or the delayed open reduction-internal fixation (11 cases). The average age of the patients was 47.7 years (range: 41~63 years), male was fourteen patients, female was three. Follow-up period was average 33.6 months (range: 12~84 months). The clinical outcomes were evaluated by using AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and patient satisfaction was also evaluated.
RESULTS
AOFAS score at final follow-up was 80.4 points, and 88% of the patients were satisfied with the results. AOFAS scores of the external fixation group and the delayed ORIF group were average 77.0 points and 82.2 points respectively, which did not show the statistical difference (p>0.05). Bony union was achieved at average 16.0 weeks. There were 18 complications such as skin necrosis.
CONCLUSION
We have achieved relatively encouraging functional results and high patient satisfaction for pilon comminuted fractures, without significant result difference between the two surgical techniques.

Abstract
- PURPOSE
To evaluate the overall clinical features and postoperative functional results of the intra-articular calcaneal fractures at more than 2 years follow-up, and also to compare the results at postoperative 1 year with the results at more than 2-year follow-up.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study is based on 39 intra-articular calcaneal fractures (34 patients) that underwent surgical treatment from March 1997 to May 2002 with at least 2 years follow-up. The overall postoperative results were evaluated with Creighton-Nebraska functional scale. The comparison of results at postoperative 1 year was also performed with results at more than 2-year follow-up.
RESULTS
By Sanders classifications, there were 13 type II fractures (33.3%), 20 type III (51.3%), and 6 type IV fractures (15.4%). Average follow-up period was 35 months (range: 24~87 months) and at final follow-up of more than 2 years, Creighton-Nebraska score was average 76.0 (range: 30~100) which significantly improved from postoperative 1-year results of 67.1 (range: 22~95) (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The clinical outcome at more than 2 years after surgical treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures was quite promising, which significantly improved compared to 1-year results. Therefore, we concluded that functional results of calcaneal fractures should be evaluated at least 2 years after the treatment.
