The Treatment of Supracondylar Femur Fracture after Total Knee Replacement: Dae Kyung Bae, Hong Ku Lee, Chong Hoon Cho; J Korean Soc Fract 1994;7(1):181-186. Published online May 31, 1994; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1994.7.1.181

Abstract PDF: We had five cases of the supracondylar fracture of the femur among 419 total knee arthroplasties in 330 patients that were done between January 1989 and december 1992 The incidence was 1.2%. Two cases were treated by non-operative methods. One case was treated by open reduction and screw fixation. And other two cases were treated by closed intramedullary Ender nailing. Prearthroplastic diagnosis was three cases of rheumatoid arthrltis, one degenerative arthritis and one tuberculous arthritis. The average age was 49.8 years(range, 34 to 71) and all patients were female. The supracondylar fractures occured by fall down injury and those were not associated with other injury The average duration between total knee arthroplasty and fracture was 1 year 8 months(range 9 months to 3 year 9 months). The average follow up period was 13 months(range, 6 months to 2 year 6 months). Posttreatment angulation was 2.3 degrees in AP plane and 6.7 degrees in lateral plane.

Treatment of Intractable Nonunion of the Long Bone with the Invasive Electrical Stimulation: Myung Chul Yoo, Dae Kyung Bae, Yong Girl Rhee, Deok Ho Ahn, Goong Hee Cho; J Korean Soc Fract 1989;2(1):82-90. Published online June 30, 1989; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1989.2.1.82

Abstract PDF: Nonunion of the long bone is one of the difficult porbloems in orthopaedic surgery. We studied the effect of the electrical stimulation. From July, 1980 to August, 1988, 30 nonunions of the long bones were treated with the invasive type electrical stimulator. The range of follow-up period was from 3 months to 7 years(average, 25 months). The results were as foloowings: 1. The good bony union has occurred in 26 cases(86.7%). 2. The previous infection was in 11 cases and its union rate was 100% 3. The average duration of bone union in over-all cases was 5. months and in previous infeted cases, was 5.5 months. 4. The average duration of bone union in open fracture was 5.5 months and in closed fracture, was 5 months. 5. The invasive electrical stimulation was a good technique to treat the intractable nonunion as the result of long bone fracture.
