Dislocation of First Metatarsophalangeal and farsornetatarsal Joint: Case Report: Chung Soo Hwang, Yong Min Kim, Hyung Ho Oh, Young Un An, Jong Pil Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(2):386-390. Published online April 30, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.2.386

Dislocation of first metatarsophalangeal joint is a rare condition. Anatomically, the head of first metatarsal is stabilized by various soft tissue structures associated with the sesamoid bones. When the metatarsal head was entrapped underneath the sesamoid complex, it might be impossible to gain reduction via closed method. We experienced a case of dorsal dislocation of first metatarsophalangeal joint and associated dislocation of larsornetatarsal joint in a 32 year old man who was injured by ftll from height. Closed reduction fEiled even under spinal anesthesia. Open reduction via medial approach revealedbuttonholingof the metatarsal head under the sesamoid complex, which had made colsed reduction impossible. Concerning about the rarity and anatomical characteristic of these injuries, we report this case with reviewing of the literatures.

Treatment of Lateral Humeral Condylar Fractures in Children using Closed K-wire Fixation and Intraoperative Arthrogram: Chung Soo Hwang, Kyung Chul Kim, Phil Hyun Chung, Suk Kang, Eung Nam Cha, Yong Min Kim, Young Un An, Min Hyo Park; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(1):116-125.

Abstract PDF: Lateral condylar fracture of humerus is the secondly most common elbow injury in childhood. Compared to the most common supracondylar fracture which is fracture of metaphysis around olecranon fossa, lateral condylar fracture is intraarticular, epiphyseal injury and easily displaced by extensor muscle pull. Therefore, lateral condylar fractures are reduced and fixed more frequently by open method than supracondylar fractures are. In spite of affording more accurate reduction, however, open treatment of fracture can be complicated by infection, avasular necrosis, disfiguring scars, etc. So, it is more desirable that accurate reduction and rigid fixation can be achieved by closed method. Sine July 1992, We manged 10 children with lateral condylar fractures of elbow using closed reduction, percutaneous K-wire fixation and intraoperative arthrogram for confirming the reduction status of articular margin. The fractures united and K-wires were removed within postop. 7 weeks(mean) in all cases. The patients were followed up for from 9 months to 2 years and 2 months postoperatively, revealed no great differences in carrying angle, range of motion and physical activity compared with contralateral elbow. Radiologic evaluation showed no definite complications except mild spur formation. Closed reduction and fixation followed by intraoperative arthrogram seemed tobe one of the useful method in the management of lateral humeral condylar fractures in children, especially in mildly displaced cases.
