Traumatic Bilateral Anterior Hip Dislocation: A Case Report: Sung Taek Jung, Hyun Jong Kim, Myung Sun Kim, Young Jin Kim, Sang Kwan Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(1):62-65. Published online January 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.1.62

Abstract PDF: Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip is an uncommon injury, accounting for less than 10% of all reported cases of traumatic hip dislocation. Especially, there are no known report in our country so far. We are reporting a case of a 81 year old man who sustained bilateral anterior hip dislocation after pedestrian traffic accident, and treated by closed reduction and skeletal traction at our institute.

The Surgical Outcomes for Isolated Greater Tuberosity Fracture of Proximal Humerus: Eun Sun Moon, Myung Sun Kim, Young Jin Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(3):239-245. Published online July 31, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.3.239

PURPOSE
To evaluate the adequate surgical methods and postoperative rehabilitation by analyzing the outcome of surgical treatment for isolated greater tuberosity fracture of proximal humerus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten patients who allowed at least 1 year follow up after the surgical treatment of isolated greater tuberosity fractures were evaluated. Their mean age was 52.3 years (range, 28~67) and mean follow up duration was 23.8 months (range, 12~36). We choosed the different approaches and fixation methods according to size, location and presence of comminution of the fragment, and combined injury. The rehabilitation programs were indivisualized and we evaluated the clinical outcomes using UCLA and Constant scoring system.
RESULTS
According to the UCLA scoring system, 5 cases were excellent, 3 cases were satisfactory, and 2 cases were unsatisfactory. By the Constant scoring system, 8 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good. The average bony union time was 7.6 weeks (range, 6~8) except the 2 cases of revision surgery. Two cases were operated using cannulated screws alone, 3 cases using only nonabsorbable sutures and 5 cases using cannulated screws and nonabsorbable sutures. One out of two revision cases was developed from the negligence of preoperative shoulder anterior dislocation with rupture of subscapularis, and the other was caused by improper immobilization of the fracture site postoperatively.
CONCLUSION
Not only the adequate surgical approaches and the fixation methods according to the size and comminution of fragment, but also the identification of combined injuries were very important in the surgical treatment for the isolated greater tuberosity fracture. And we considered that the adequate postoperative rehabilitation and proper protection based on the intraoperative fixation stability play an important role for the better clinical and radiological outcomes.

Functional Evaluation of the r-nailing Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture Older than 60 years Old Patient: Hwan Duk Yang, Tae Kyun Kim, Young Jin Kim, Jin Young Park, Hyoung Joon Kim, Ji Wan Lee, Eun Young Kil; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):364-368. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.364

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the functional status after Gamma nailing in inter-trochanteric fractures in elderly with functional recovery score (FRS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 285 patients of intertrochanteric fracture treated by gamma nailing from January 1993 to May 2002 with follow up more than 3 years. We analized recovery of functional status concerned with sex, age, fracture pattern, functional recovery index.
RESULTS
The intertrochanteric fractures in elderly resulted in 15.8% loss of function after 3 years. The more functional loss was observed in female, the older age, and Boyd-Graffin type II fracture but, were not signifily related with functional loss except age.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that the age is the important factor to functional recovery to pre-injury status in elderly patients.
