Periprosthetic Fracture after Proximal Humeral Intramedullary Nail, Treated by Functional Bracing: A Case Report: Jae Hyuk Shin, Ho Guen Chang, Young Woo Kim, Nam Kyou Rhee, Yong Bok Park, Yong Kuk Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(2):185-190.

Periprosthetic fracture following a proximal humeral intramedullary (IM) nailing is rarely reported neither for its occurrence nor for its treatment. Proximal humeral IM nail (Acumed, LLC, Hillsboro, OR, USA) has been increasingly reported of its successful treatment outcomes, yet there is paucity of data describing its complications. Here we report a 26 year-old female patient, who sustained a proximal humerus fracture which was initially successfully treated by proximal humeral IM nail, and was complicated by a periprosthetic fracture distal to the nail tip at postoperative 4 months. Serial application of U-shaped coaptation splint, hanging cast, and functional bracing resulted in satisfactory clinical outcome. Periprosthetic fracture after proximal humerus IM nail can occur by a low energy injury, which need to reminded in treating young and sports-active patients.

A Comparison between Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis & Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing in Distal Tibia Fractures: Kee Byung Lee, Si Young Song, Duek Joo Kwon, Yong Beom Lee, Nam Kyou Rhee, Jun Ha Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(4):286-291.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To compare the effectiveness between minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and interlocking IM nailing in the treatment of distal tibia fracture without involvement of ankle joint retrospectively.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
38 patients with distal tibia fracture from Jan. 2004 to Oct. 2005 were divided into two groups. Minimum follow-up was for 12 months. Group MIPO consisted of 18 patients were treated with MIPO and group Nail consisted of 20 patients were treated with interlocking intramedullary nail. The results were compared between two groups by assessing bony union time and operation time. Clinical evaluation was evaluated by Olerud score.
RESULTS
The mean bony union time was 14.4 weeks (12~17 weeks) in group MIPO and 16.7 weeks (13~19 weeks) in group Nail (p=0.011). The mean operation time was 1.05 hours (0.6~1.6 hours) in group MIPO and 0.74 hours (0.4~1.1 hours) in group Nail (p=0.044). The Olerud score was 83.8 (75~100) in group MIPO and was 89.6 (70~100) in group Nail (p=0.075). In Complication, group MIPO showed one metal failure and two skin irritations, group Nail showed three superficial wound infections.
CONCLUSION
MIPO was the shorter bony union time and the longer operation time than the interlocking intramedullary nailing. There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical results.

Medial Plantar Nerve Injury after Screw Fixation of the Calcaneus Fracture: Bong Cheol Kwon, Yong Woon Shin, Duck Joo Kwon, Nam Kyou Rhee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(2):288-290. Published online April 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.2.288

Abstract: We present a case of medial plantar nerve injury by screw tip after open reduction and internal fixation of intraarticular calcaneus fracture. We reviewed the risk and prevention technique of medial plantar nerve injury in fixing the calcaneus fracture.
