Early Corrective Osteoclasis for Malunited Pediatric Medial Condylar Fracture of the Humerus: Hong Jun Jung, Ho Youn Park, Yuna Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2022;35(1):21-25. Published online January 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2022.35.1.21

Abstract PDF: Fractures of the medial condyle of the distal humerus in children are very rare, and the younger the age, the more difficult it is to diagnose. These fractures include an intra-articular fracture and a Salter–Harris type IV growth plate fracture. Therefore, the prognosis is poor if the fracture is neglected or misdiag-nosed because of the high incidence of complications such as nonunion, angular deformity, or joint contracture. This paper reports a case of a four-year-old child who presented with a malunion of the medial condyle of the humerus with good results after an early corrective osteoclasis.

Cortical Perforation Misidentified with Medial Condylar Fracture of Femur in Total Knee Arthroplasty: Case Report: Seung Suk Seo, Sang Won Moon; J Korean Fract Soc 2019;32(1):52-55. Published online January 31, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2019.32.1.52

Abstract PDF: Intraoperative fracture in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. However, when it happens, additional surgery to fix the fracture site is needed. Therefore, it is important to diagnose intraoperative fractures in TKA exactly. The authors experienced two cases of cortical perforation of medial femoral condyle misidentified as the fracture in TKA. Cortical perforation could be misdiagnosed as the fracture, which could lead to unnecessary surgery. This is the first report about cortical perforation in TKA. We report two cases of intraoperative cortical perforations and describe the radiological characteristics.

The Surgical Treatment of Distal Femur Medial Condyle Fracture Using Lateral Anatomical Plate of Opposite Side through Medial Approach: Sung Sik Ha, Jae Chun Sim, Ki Do Hong, Jae Young Kim, Kwang Hee Park, Yoon Ho Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(4):246-251. Published online October 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.4.246

PURPOSE
To evaluate clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of distal femur medial condyle fracture using lateral anatomical plate of opposite side through medial approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study reviewed the results of 9 cases of distal femur medial condyle fracture treated with lateral anatomical plate of opposite side through medial approach from December 2005 to June 2007, after a follow up of more than 12 months. There were 2 males and 7 females with a mean age of 63.1 (57~72) years. The clinical results were evaluated using the Schatzker's criteria, and the radiographic results were evaluated using the bone union time. RESULTS: Using the Schatzker's criteria, 7 cases of the 9 patients (78%) showed exellent results. The mean time for bone union was 13.4 (11~15) weeks. There were 3 cases of pain on full weight bearing same as previous operative state by degenerative osteoarthritis. There weren't complications as joint stiffness, infection, varus & rotational deformity, malunion, nonunion, and metal failure. CONCLUSION: Plate fixation using medial approach provides the proper anatomical reduction and stronger fixation, and outcome good results.
