Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of intrapelvic anterior plate fixations for Day Classification Type II crescent fracture-dislocations of sacroiliac joints.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Ten patients who had undertaken the surgical treatment for the sacroiliac joint from 2006 to 2012 were enrolled in this study. All cases fell into Type II by Day Classification for sacroiliac joint injuries. For surgical treatments, the plate fixation through the intra-pelvic anterior approach was first performed for all cases and anterior ring fixation was performed in 4 cases with more severely displaced anterior pelvic ring injuries. Then, radiological and clinical evaluation was implemented.
RESULTS
The bone union was observed from all patients whom performed the surgical fixation. In the radiological results, 9 cases with the anatomic and nearly-anatomic reductions were observed. Out of the 10 cases which performed the rotational displacement analysis, there were 3 excellent cases, 6 good cases and 1 fair case. The 10 cases that performed the deformity index and vertical displacement analysis, less variations were observed in the anterior ring fixations after intra-pelvic anterior plate fixation group. According to the clinical results, 4 excellent cases, 3 good cases, and 3 moderate cases were observed.
CONCLUSION
In the Type II crescent fracture-dislocation of sacroiliac joint, the intrapelvic anterior plate fixation achieved satisfactory anatomical reductions, radiological stabilities and clinical results.

Helical Blade versus Lag Screw for Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture: Kwang Jun Oh, Sung Tae Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Jin Ho Hwang, Min Suk Kang; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(1):6-12. Published online January 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.1.6

PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiographic and functional outcomes between who had unstable intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST (lag screw design) and the PFNA (helical blade design).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected each 17 and 13 patients of unstable intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFNA from April 2005 to December 2008. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical outcomes with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function scoring system.
RESULTS
The mean sliding distance of cervical screw with ITST nails was not shown significant differences than with using PFNA nails. The other factors were not statistically different. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function score were similar. 2 cases of cutting out was noted with ITST nails and 1 case of cutting out was noted with PFNA nails.
CONCLUSION
Unlike the existed biomechanical reposts, there are no differences that are clinical and radiological results in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture using the ITST nails and PFNA nails.

Triceps-Sparing Posterior Approach for Intra-articular Fracture of Distal Humerus: Suk Ha Lee, Sung Tae Lee, Jin Young Park, Jung Sup Keum, Jong Ryun Baek, Kwang Jun Oh; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(1):51-55. Published online January 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.1.51

Abstract: PURPOSE
To evaluate the therapeutic results of intra-articular fracture of distal humerus treated through triceps sparing posterior approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From February 2001 to December 2003, we reviewed total 9 cases of intra-articular fracture of distal humerus, which were treated by surgical treatment and were followed more than for 12 months. According to the OTA classification, nine cases were classified as type A; two, as type C1; five, as type C2; two. Triceps sparing posterior approach was used in all nine patients. An extensile posterior incision was used over the olecranon without triceps muscle injury. Exposure of the fracture site was done by obtaining medial-lateral mobility through dissection of medial and lateral edge of triceps muscle. Therapeutic results were assessed by bone union, duration for fracture union, complication. and for functional estimation, Mayo elbow performance score was checked and analysed.
RESULTS
The range of the elbow joint motion was flexion contracture 5.2 degree to further flexion 135.5 degree on average. Clinical results using Mayo elbow performance score were as follows; six excellent, three good. Compressive neuropathy of ulnar nerve which has been done anterior transposition was observed in one patient.
CONCLUSION
Triceps sparing posterior approach is useful surgical technique that provides sufficient exposure of medial and lateral condyle without injury of triceps muscle in intra-articular fracture of distal humerus to the extent of OTA type C2.

Published online April 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.2.115

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To assess the meaning of the unstable intertrochanteric fracture of femur with involvement of lateral cortex by analysing the radiologic result of the surgical treatment using a compression hip screw.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Classifing patients (who has taken the surgical treatment for intertrochanteric fracture of femur using compression hip screw from January 1999 to June 2002) in our hospital with 24 patients who had not much difference statistically in the compression screw located within the femur, Tip-Apex distance (TAD) the Singh Numerical Value of osteoporosis. The results were divided into two groups, group A (without fracture extends through lateral cortex of femur: 16 cases) and B (fracture extends through lateral cortex of femur: 8 cases), when analyzing it. And then analyzed the final examination in the evaluation of electrical potential level by radiology, change of the inside and outside of neck-shaft angle, descent level of the screw and the change of the neck-shaft angle.
RESULTS
In the latest follow up, the sliding amount of the screw in group B, the average was 14.9+/-9.3 mm, and 6.7+/-3.6 mm in group A. There was no difference statistically (p value>0.05). In the varus change in group B, the average was 8.00+/-8.12degrees and in group A it ws 2.75+/-2.63degrees There was statistical difference(p value<0.05). In displacement after operation, it was 7.60+/-2.61 mm in group B and 0.5+/-1.80 mm in group A. There was statistical difference (p value<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The intertrochanteric fracture with involvement of lateral cortex of femur have to be considered as unstable fracture having tendency of displacement.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To assess the clinical and radiological results from the treatment of the intraarticular distal radius fracture by using the external fixator and confirm the usefulness of the external fixator from this study. MATERIALS & METHODS: We selected 20 cases of the distal radius fracture patients, who were treated with external fixator, among the patients from March, 1998 to March, 2001 and they could be followed for 1 year. There were 12 males and 8 females with a mean age of 53.4. According to AO classification, there were 2 cases for type A (10%), 2 cases for type B (10%), 5 cases for type C1 (25%), 9 cases for type C2 (45%), and 2 cases for type C3 (10%). In the 16 cases, the external fixator was used alone and in the other 2 cases, the external fixator was used with K-wires fixation. In the last 2 cases, K-wires fixation and autogenous iliac bone graft were combined.
RESULTS
In more severe form of distal radius fracture such as complete intraarticular fracture (type C2, C3 of AO classification), the better outcome in clinical and radiologic results was showed when additional K-wires fixation and/or autogenous iliac bone graft were combined rather than using the external fixator only. Particularly, in the cases of type C2, the poorest outcomes of radial length loss 2.7 mm (4.0%), radial inclination loss 1.4 (4.9%), volar tilting loss 2.4 (6.9%) were showed when the external fixator was used alone. The three worst results were from the cases of using external fixator alone in type C2. In the two cases of combination with K-wire fixation, the result of type C2 was excellent and that of type C3 was good. The results of the last two cases (type C2, C3) of combination with K-wire fixation and autogenous iliac bone graft were all excellent.
CONCLUSION
In this study, we confirmed that the better result could be achieved when the treatment were performed with combination with K-wire and/or autogenous iliac bone graft rather than using the external fixator alone.

The Angulation as to the Location of the Lag Screw of Compression Hip Screw in the Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Hip: Sang Won Park, Kwang Jun Oh, Seung Yong Wang; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(1):15-20. Published online January 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.1.15

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of the angulation deformity according to apposition of medial cortex and sliding mechanism as to the location of the lag screw in the intertrochanteric fracture of the Korean femur which neck-shaft angle is relatively small .
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected the patients those angulation of femur neck-shaft was within 5 degree in comparison with normal side, and displacement of fracture fragment was within 4mm on the immediate post-operative radiograph. According to Evans classification, all patients were type I fracture. We classified the patients in two groups -stable medial cortex apposition(Group I) was 13 cases, and unstable no apposition(Group II) was 16 cases.
RESULTS
In the Group I, the varus-valgus angulation was average 3.3 degrees when lag screw was positioned at the middle of the femur neck, average 3.6 degrees when lag screw was positioned at the inferior to the femur neck. In the Group II, the varus-valgus angulation was average 6.1 degrees when lag screw was middle of the femur neck, average 1.5 degrees when lag screw was inferior to the femur neck.
CONCLUSION
There is no difference in angulation deformity when the lag screw is inferior or middle of femur neck if medial cortex is contacted, but the angulation deformity is less when the lag screw is inferior to femur neck if medial cortex is not contacted, in intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical result of modified Bankart operation repairing the Bankart lesion with capsular shifting using suture anchor in traumatic recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint MATERIALS AND METHODS: All of the cases were treated with modified Bankart operation. The inferior and superior capsular flaps were advanced to the anterior aspect of glenoid neck and fixed with three suture anchors in 30 degrees abduction and external rotation of shoulder joint. Especially the inferior 1/3 capsular flap was sutured over the superior 2/3 capsular flap. We used the grading system of Rowe and Zarins as measuring function, pain, stability, range of motion of shoulder joint.
RESULT
The clinical results were excellent in 80%, good in 20%. The mean loss of motion at follow up study was 2% of flexion and 7% of external rotation.
CONCLUSION
This operative technique is useful in repairing the Bankart lesion and gaining adequate capsular tension. And the using of suture anchor could save the operation time.
