Lateral Plate Fixation of Distal Tibial Metaphyseal Fracture Using Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Technique: Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Nam Sik Chung, Jae Cheon Sim, Sang Cheon Ahn; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(1):24-28. Published online January 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.1.24

PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficiency of lateral plate fixation using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique as a treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Among the patient who were treated from March, 2002 to September, 2004, the cases of twenty patients with distal tibial metaphyseal fracture treated by lateral plate fixation using MIPO technique who were able to be followed up for at least one-year period were reviewed in this study. According to AO/OTA classification, five were type A1, twelve cases were type A2 and other three cases were type A3, and among them two cases were open fracture type I according to the Gustillo-Anderson classification. Radiologic studies and clinical assessment described by Daniel et al and complication following the treatment were evaluated.
RESULTS
At a mean of 16.4 weeks (range 11 to 23), all fractures united without secondary procedures. According to clinical assessment, all cases had good and excellent result, and there were no complications.
CONCLUSION
The lateral plate fixation using MIPO technique of distal tibial metaphyseal fracture is an efficient method of treatment with high functional recovery rate which minimize soft tissue damage, decreases the risk of infection and incidence of nonunion at the same time as the classic MIPO technique does, and it is a useful alternative method when there is a anteromedial soft tissue damage.

Treatment of Fractures of the Distal Radius using Locking Compression Plate: Jae Cheon Sim, Nam Sik Chung, Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Ji Hoon Kang; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(2):100-104. Published online April 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.2.100

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the usefulness of locking compression plate (LCP) and volar plating through anterior approach for distal radius fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively analysed that 15 distal radius fracture, which would not be reduced by closed reduction or too comminuated to maintain reduction or articular surface inconguency, were treated by open reduction through anterior approach and volar plating using LCP. The results were evaluated by preoperative and postoperative radiographs. Functional results were analysed using the Modified Mayo Wrist Scoring System.
RESULTS
All cases achieved anatomical articular surface reduction postoperatively. In terms of radiologic analysis, mean radial length (9.0 mm vs. 11.8 mm), radial inclination (14.7degrees vs. 20.9degrees ), volar tilt (-6.3degrees vs. 8.3degrees ) and articular step-off (1.4 mm vs. 0.3 mm) were improved. The average Modified Wrist Score was 89. Nonunion or malunion was not occurred.
CONCLUSION
Open reduction through anterior approach and volar plating using LCP is a useful method that provides excellent results with few complications in the treatment of fracture of the distal radius.

Intramedullary Fixation of Clavicle Fracture Percutaneously Reduced By Towel Clip: Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Nam Sik Chung, Jae Cheon Sim, Gyoung Ho Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):328-332. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.328

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To investigate the utility of surgical treatment of clavicle shaft fracture using a percutaneous towel clip reduction and intramedullary fixation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was conducted for total 16 cases of patients who had no neurovascular injury and a few comminuted bone fragment among patients with clavicle shaft fracture from January 2002 to July 2003. The method of operation was percutaneous towel clip reduction and intramedullary fixation. The clinical and radiological results were evaluated.
RESULTS
Radiologically, 15 cases showed bone unions and the average time was 9.1 weeks. According to Kang's criteria clinically, there were 14 cases which were more than an excellence. One case substituted open reduction and nailing fixation due to a medial migration of K-wire and re- displacement of fracture even in 1 week. However, there wasn't any other major complication.
CONCLUSION
Due to its having no additional injury to soft tissues, no scar formations, and its short operation time, percutaneous towel clip reduction and intramedullary fixation will be very useful as one of the treatments of clavicular shaft fracture if it follows correct surgical indications.

Nancy Nail Fixation for Femur Shaft Fracture in Children: Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Nam Sik Chung, Jae Cheon Sim, Jae Young Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(4):592-599. Published online October 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.4.592

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To investigate, the radiologically, the duration of bone union, angular formation, leg length discrepancy, other complications and mean hospital stay after Nancy nail fixation has been performed in children with femoral shaft fracture, and also to inquire into the clinical validity of such procedure. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Included in this study were 12 patients who had been treated with the Nancy nail fixation for the femoral shaft fracture and then followed up for a year or more. The age distribution ranged from 4 to 12 years with mean age 7.2 years. After the fracture was reduced under an imaging intensifier, 2 or 3 Nancy nails were pinned onto the medial and lateral femur distally.
RESULTS
The average duration for complete union was 9.9 weeks. Any angular formation over 5 degrees was notfound. Leg length discrepancy ranged from 2 mm shortening to 12 mm overgrowth with a mean value of 2.8 cm. In one case, with overgrowth over 10 mm or more, there was no gait disturbance. In all cases, There was neither infection, delayed union, nor any motion disturbance. A nail was moved distally in one case and skin irritation was evident in another case. The mean hospital stay was 17.3 days.
CONCLUSION
Nancy nail fixation in pediatric femoral shaft fracture relatively has less complications and is a safe surgical procedure. In addition, it helps in reducing hospital stay.

Modified tension band wiring and Circumferential wiring in the operative treatment of patella fracture: Hyung Seok Kim, Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Young Keun Park, Nam Sik Chung; J Korean Soc Fract 1994;7(2):522-529. Published online November 30, 1994; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1994.7.2.522

Abstract PDF: The patella, the largest human sesamoid bone, lies within and is important functional component of the knee extensor mechanism, So the treatment of patellar fracture is considered very important. In this series, we experiened 24 cases of ptellar fractures treated with modified tension band wiring and circumferential wiring from Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1992 at the department of orthopaedic surgery, Seoul Adventist Hospital. The Results were as follows; 1. The mean fracture healing peroid was 9.6 weeks in cases of modified tension band wiring and 12.4 weeks in circumferential wiring. 2. circumferential wiring is a good method for severe comminuted, small fragmented fracture and modified tension band wiring is for displaced transeverse fracture and large fragmented comminuted feacture.
