Bilateral Femoral Neck Fractures in a Young Adult: A Case Report: Eea Sub Chung, Jae Kyu Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):478-480. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.478

Abstract PDF: Ipsilateral femur shaft and neck fractures are occurred by high energy trauma, usually in motor vehicle accidents or fall from a height. Simultaneous Ipsilateral femur shaft and neck fractures and contralateral femur neck fracture are not yet reported in Korea. Authors report a case of simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures combined with a ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture in a young adult treated with anatomical reduction, internal fixation and vascularized bone graft with a review of the literature.

Treatment of Surgical Neck Fracture and Fracture Dislocation in Proximal Humerus: Sung Ill Baek, Eea Sub Chung; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(4):897-903. Published online October 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.4.897

Abstract PDF: The management of the two part surgical neck fracture, three part fracture and fracture-dislocation of proximal humerus is still under debate. Various method of internal fixation have been reported but none of these methods have been consistently successful. The purpose of this study is to analyze the result of open reduction and internal fixation surgical neck fracture, three-part fracture and fracture-dislocation in proximal humerus. From Janunary. 1991 to July 1996, fifteen patiens were reviewed and the result were summerized as follows. 1. There were 8 two-part surgical neck fracture, 3 three-part fracture, 4 three-part fracture-dislocalion. 2. The results were analyzed accroding to scoring system of Neer; the excellent or satis-factory results were seen in 11 cases, but unsatisfactory results were seen in 4 cases. 3. Complication occured as follows; joint disability in 4 cases, high positioning of plate in 1 case of joint disability. 4. We concluded that T-plate offers satisfpctory reduction and good stability at high risk of joint disability. Early mobilization is required in the prevenion of joint disability of shoulder.
