Operative Treatment in Fracture-Dislocations of Carpometacarpal Joints: Jae Yeol Choi, Hun Kyu Shin, Kyung Mo Son, Chun Suk Ko; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):443-451. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.443

PURPOSE
To present our operative experiences with carpometacarpal (CMC) injuries, excluding thumb.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty four fracture and dislocations of CMC joint excluding thumb were reviewed retrospectively. Emphases were placed on injury mechanisms, anatomical location, times between diagnosis and surgery, treatment and complications.
RESULTS
The average age of patients was 31.5 years. 19 cases of axial loading by blow as an injury mechanism. The 5th CMC joint was found to be the most frequently involved single joint (18 cases of 34 cases). Dorsal dislocation of CMC joints was present in 12 cases. Comminution of the carpal or metacarpal bone was present in 18 cases. The average time to surgery was 6 days. Twenty-seven cases were operated upon by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Seven cases were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. In the last follow up period, a clinically full hand function was restored in 31 cases. Intermittent pain was present in 6 cases in which there was grip weakness in 4 cases and limitation of motion in 3 cases. However, all cases were able to activities of daily living.
CONCLUSION
We obtained good outcomes in CMC joint injuries through the accurate diagnosis and proper operative treatment.

The Treatment of Unstable Intertrochanter Fracutures of Femur: Comparison between Proximal Femoral Nail and Dynamic Hip Screw: Kyun Chul Kim, Hun Kyu Shin, Kyung Mo Son, Chun Seok Ko; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(4):369-374. Published online October 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.4.369

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To analyze the results between PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail) and DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw) on the operative treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures retrospectively.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
35 cases of unstable intertrochanteric fractures (grouped 24 patients with DHS and 11 patients with PFN) who were taken the operations from Jan. 2001 to Mar. 2002 were analysed regarding to union state, union time, operation time, sliding length of lag screws, blood loss, postoperative complications and functional recovery scores by Sk?vron with ANOVA and multivariate linear regression.
RESULTS
The means of union time were 17.9 weeks (DHS) and 17.0 weeks (PFN), sliding length of lag screws were 3.9 mm (DHS) and 2.1 mm (PFN), perioperative blood losses were 743 cc (DHS) and 736 cc (PFN), operation time were 93.4 minutes (DHS) and 102 minutes (PFN), and the functional recovery scores by Sk?vron were 71.8% (DHS) and 76.8% (PFN), respectively. The results of our study indicate that there were not statistically significant differences between PFN and DHS groups in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures (p>0.05). But, there was less sliding of lag screws in PFN group in statistical significance (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Authors think that PFN is one of the useful implants in treating unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in regarding to sliding.

Treatment of Bony Mallet Finger: Closed Reduction Using Extension Block K-wire: Jae Yeol Choi, Hwa Jae Jung, Ho Jin Lee, Kyung Mo Son, Young Hun Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):362-367. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.362

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To review the result of bony mallet finger treated with a closed reduction using extension block K-wire MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2001 and November 2002, among the patients with bony mallet finger underwent closed reduction using extension block K-wire, we retrospectively reviewed 14 patients with 14 fractures who had a minimum follow-up of 12 months.
RESULTS
There were 10 men and 4 women, with an average follow-up for all cases 15.7 months (range, 12 months~18 months). According to Crawford's evaluation criteria, we obtained 7 excellent, 5 good, 2 fair. We obtained bony union in all patients, with no remained pain. The average ROM was 67 degrees at postoperative 12 months. Postoperative complications occurred in two cases, which were nail deformity and mild osteoarthritis at the distal interphalangeal joint. There was no pin site infection.
CONCLUSION
This technique is not only easier but also less invasive than other techniques for reduction of mallet finger. Also, it shows excellent result with lower complication rate. So, it seems a reliable treatment for bony mallet finger.
