- Osteoporosis is the metabolic bone disease and the bone is easily fracture by minimal stress due to decreased bone mass. It gets to attract more and more interest due to surprisingly high incidence and prevalence as well as its complications, fracture. We compared the bone mineral density between 45 osteoporotic patients group with compression fractures of the spine, 105 osteoporotic patients group without fractures and 45 normal control group using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
We obtained following results. 1. There are statistically no significant differences between bone mineral density of the osteoporotic group with compression fracture of the spine and bone mineral density of the osteoporotic group without fractures. 2. Height and weight had statistically significant correlation with bone mineral density of the lumbar spine anteroposterior view, lateral view and Ward triangle. 3. Fracture threshold of the lumbar spine anteroposterior view, lateral wiew and Ward triangle are 0.884g/cm2, 0.694g/cm2 and 0.514g/cm2 according to 90percentile, 0.979g/cm2, 0.732g/cm2, 0.545g/cm2 according to 95percentile.

Abstract

- The goal of treatment in infected nonunion include the elimination of infection, complete bony union and prevention of bony defects and deformity. Twenty patients with infected nonunion were treated using ilizarov external fixator from January 1992 to August 1993.
The results were summarized as follows, 1. The main causes of infection were mixed infection in all cases and main causative agents were pseudomonas and staphylococcus.
2. Ninteen cases of infected nonunion were achieved bony union and one case was failed. The mean time to union was 10.6 months. The healing index averaged 51.3 days.
3. The bone results were excellent in sixteen cases, good in three and poor in one. The functional results were excellent in seven cases, good in eight and fair in five.
4. We experienced 35 complications, five were joint ankylosis. one was nonunion and we could solve the rest of complications with conservative treatment and minor surgery.
5. There were no problems in getting the bony union at bony distraction site in all cases. But, there were numbers of problem at the docking site such as autogenous bone graft, nonunion. So, it is important to wide resection of infected necrotic tissue and early bone graft.
6. We could solve the poor soft tissue problem with acute shortening method of bone.
