In Situ Late Metaphyseal Osteosynthesis for the Fractures of the Lateral Humeral Condyle in Children: Kun Bo Park, Seung Whan Lee, Hyun Woo Kim, Hui Wan Park, Ki Seok Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(2):151-156. Published online April 30, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.2.151

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy of the in situ late osteosynthesis for slightly displaced fractures of the lateral humeral condyle.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From 2000 to 2004, 12 patients (8 boys and 4 girls) were managed with in situ late osteosynthesis for fractures of the lateral humeral condyle. The average age at the time of operation was 6 years 1 month (1 year 7 months~9 years 1 month), and the mean amount of fragment displacement was 3.3 mm (2.0~4.5 mm). The operative procedure included curettage and in situ fixation of the fragment RESULTS: Bony union was achieved in all cases after avg. 48 months (33~73 months) follow-up assessment. According to the score system of Dhillon et al, 7 patients had excellent, 3 had good, 2 had fair results. None of the patients developed avascular necrosis or premature closure of the epiphysis.
CONCLUSION
We suggest that in situ fixation is an effective method for the late treatment of slightly displaced fracture of the lateral humeral condyle.

Biomechanical Analysis of Korean Radiolucent Carbon/Graphite Ring Fixator: In Ho Choi, Jun kyung Kim, Kui won Choi, Chin Youb Chung, Tae Joon Cho, Ki Seok Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(1):1-12. Published online January 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.1.1

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The mechanical stiffness of Korean radiolucent carbon/graphite ring fixator(KRCRF) was analyzed and compared with those of conventional stainless steel Ilizarov system and the Smith- Nephew carbon fiber circular external fixator.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The transfixing olive pins of the circular fixator on the acryl pylon were assembled in 90degrees- 90degrees and 135degrees- 45degrees configuration, respectively. And the fixator-pylon model was loaded with Instron model No. 8500 in three testing modes: axial compression, anteroposterior(AP) bending and lateral bending.
RESULTS
As compared with stainless steel Ilizarov fixator, the KRCRF was significantly more stiff on the axial compression test regardless of the ring size(140 mm and 200 mm diameters) and transfixation configuration. But, it was less stiff on the anteroposterior(AP) and lateral bending tests. When compared with the Smith-Nephew carbon fiber circular external fixator, the KRCRF was generally more stiff on the axial compression, AP and lateral bending tests regardless of the ring size(140 mm and 180 mm diameters) and configuration, except the AP bending stiffness in 90degrees- 90degrees configuration and lateral bending stffness in 135degrees- 45degrees configuration on the 180 mm diameter frame.
CONCLUSION
Considering the radiolucency, weight and biomechanical stffness, we think that the KRCRF is an excellent substitute for the imported circular fixators made of stainless steel or carbon/graphite.
