The Inyo Nail for the Lateral Malleolus Fracture of the Ankle: Joon Young Kim, Young An Choi, Chang Goo Shim, Bo Seok Kong; J Korean Soc Fract 1990;3(2):252-258. Published online November 30, 1990; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1990.3.2.252

Abstract PDF: The incidence of ankle fracture has been steadily increasing due to a number of traffic accident and was partly related to improved leisurely life style and outdoor activities. So, many methods for treatment of ankle fracture was introduced and some of them attract our attention. By accurate anatomical reduction and rigid fixation, maintenance of the stability of talus in ankle mortise is a goal of ankle fracture treatment. The Inyo nail is a new intramedullary device that was specially designed for the provention of shortening and ratational deformity which may occur in other conventional treatment method. The authors analysed 33 cases of lateral malleolus fracture treated conservatively(13 cases), operatively using Inyo nail(6 cases), other conventional fixational device(14 cases) from March 1987 to March 1989 and reports the indications and problems in operating technique using Inyo nail.

Conservative Treatment of Ligamentous Injury of Knee in Head Trauma Patients: Joon Young Kim, Young An Choi, Young Chul Choi, Bo Seok Kong; J Korean Soc Fract 1989;2(1):42-48. Published online June 30, 1989; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1989.2.1.42

Abstract PDF: Operative treatment has been used in unstable ligamentous imjury of knee joint. We experienced three cases of ligamentous injury of knee that was accompained with head trauma and other organ injury. Despite of sugical candidate, we did only conservative treatment due to poor general condition and difficulty of anesthesia. The result was realtively better than we expected. We reported these cases.

The Clinical Signifiance of Bone Scan in Fracture Diagnosis: Joon Young Kim, Young An Choi, Byoung Kuk Noh, Bo Seuk Kong; J Korean Soc Fract 1988;1(1):102-108. Published online November 30, 1988; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1988.1.1.102

Abstract PDF

Most of fracture is easily diagnosed by simple roentgenological studies. However, certain fracture, especially rib and spine are not well definable in scout film desite the suspicious clinical findings. For these cases, we can confirm the fracture by use of whole body bone scan, CT scan and M.R.I We performed Tc bone scan and found out 27 cases of the definite fracture that were considered contusion at initial roentgenological studies from March 1987 to April 1988. We present the following results: 1. In general, the incidence of positive findings on bone scan is higher by the 7 days after trauma. 2. The bone scan is especially valuable for detection of occult rib and spine fracture. 3. It is necessary to perform the interval bone scan in the case of clinically suspicious fracture even if negative initial bone scan.
