Comparative Analysis of the Results of Fixed-angle versus Variable-angle Volar Locking Plate for Distal Radius Fracture Fixation: Seung Do Cha, Jai Hyung Park, Hyung Soo Kim, Soo Tae Chung, Jeong Hyun Yoo, Joo Hak Kim, Jung Hwan Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2012;25(3):197-202. Published online July 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2012.25.3.197

PURPOSE
To compare the outcomes of distal radius fractures in a fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Forty-one patients observed at least 6 months after surgery were included in this retrospective study. We used the range of motion, visual analogue scale score, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire score, and radiologic findings to measure the clinical results.
RESULTS
No differences in clinical results or radiologic results were noted between the fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group.
CONCLUSION
We believe that it is important to minimize complications by using appropriate screws and plates according to the fracture type, though no differences in the surgical outcome were noted between the fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group with distal radius fracture.

Posterior Hip Dislocation with Ipsilateral Fractures of the Femoral Head and Intertrochanter: A Case Report: Jai Hyung Park, Hyung Soo Kim, Soo Tae Chung, eong Hyun Yoo, Joo Hak Kim, Seung Do Cha, Tae Woo Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(1):113-117.

Abstract PDF

High-energy injury, as traffic accident or fall down, can cause fracture of femur head and posterior dislocation of hip joint which is accompanied with ipsilateral acetabulum fracture or femur neck fracture. But the case that femur head fracture and posterior dislocation of the hip joint coincide with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture of proximal femur is so uncommon that reports of the case is very rare. We hereby are to report the experienced and treated-cases of femur head fracture and posterior dislocation of the hip joint that is accompanied with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture.

Combined Lunate and Triquetrum Fracture: A Case Report: Joo Hak Kim, Hyung Soo Kim, Soo Tae Chung, Jeong Hyun Yoo, Seung Do Cha, Joong Hyo Lee, Jai Hyung Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(4):320-324. Published online October 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.4.320

Abstract PDF: We described an unusual case of a 16-year-old Taekwondo athlete who injured the left wrist when she compete with other athlete. She described a mechanism of axial loading, with the wrist in radial deviation. This unusual combined lunate and triquetrum fracture was not associated with the perilunar dislocation. We present this case with a review of the literature. In this case, internal fixation and early range of motion result in a good functional outcome.

Treatment with Modified Steinmann Pins and Tension Band Wiring Technique in Proximal Humeral Comminuted Fractures with Osteoporosis: Soo Tai Chung, Joo Hak Kim, Hyung Soo Kim, Sang Joon Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(2):184-189. Published online April 30, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.2.184

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the usefulness of internal fixation with modified Steinmann pins and tension band wiring technique in comminuted proximal humeral fracture with osteoporosis and the correlations among bone mineral density, age, Neer's score and period of union.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twelve cases of comminuted proximal humeral fracture with osteoporosis were surgically treated with modified Steinmann pins and tension band technique, and followed up for an average 20.8 months (range, 6~39 months). Average age was 73.6 years old (range, 59~85 years old). Results were assessed using Neer's evaluation criteria.
RESULTS
Excellent results were noted in eight cases and satisfactory results in four cases. Radiological union was obtained in all cases. Two cases showed impingement syndrome of the proximal portions of Steinmann pins, which were managed by early removal of the metal. One case developed operative wound infection, which were managed by antibiotics therapy, irrigation and secondary closure.
CONCLUSION
Internal fixation using modified Steinmann pins and tension band wiring technique for proximal humeral fracture, with osteoporosis, makes complete union of fracture, minimizes risk of complications, and enables early rehabilitation by rendering relatively rigid fixation.
