Comparison of Quality of Life between Before and After Orthopaedic Implant Removal Surgery: Sang Bong Ko, Seung Bum Chae; J Korean Fract Soc 2016;29(2):101-106. Published online April 30, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2016.29.2.101

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not a patient's results are improved after removal of an internal fixative from a patient with no related symptoms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This prospective study included 87 patients who agreed to participate in the study and satisfied the criteria for selection and exclusion of patients who underwent the operation for removal of internal fixative due to broken bones from March 1st, 2004 to December 31st, 2011 at Daegu Catholic University Medical Center. The average replication period was 27 months (12-64 months) and the average age at the time of the operation for removal was 41.5 years (21-75 years) for 55 males and 32 females. The quality of life for all patients was evaluated using Short Form 36 (SF-36) surveys before the operation for removal and after a minimum of one year.
RESULTS
After an orthopedic operation for removal of internal fixative, physical health status showed statistically significant improvement (p=0.001); however mental health status did not (p=0.411). A satisfaction test for the subjective surgery written by patients indicated an improvement of subjective health status in 52.9% after the surgery for removal but with no difference in 29.9% compared to preoperation.
CONCLUSION
In case of an operation for removal of internal fixative for patients with no related symptoms with internal fixatives used for treatment of fractures showing agglutination opinions, an improvement was observed in physical health status, not in mental health status. When surgery for removal of internal fixative is performed for patients without related symptoms, consideration that subjective satisfaction of patients shows an improvement only in 52.9% will be helpful.

Fracture-Dislocation of S1 in 3-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report: Sang Bong Ko, Sang Wook Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(2):232-235. Published online April 30, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.2.232

Abstract PDF: Fracture-dislocation of the sacrum that has not yet fully developed is common in the distal sacrococcygeal joint of children, but this injury is rarely seen in 1st Sacrum. Most of these patients have a severe neurological deficit, so this injury generally requires surgical decompression. We managed a three year old patient who had a S1 fracture-dislocation without a neurological deficit, and the patient was treated with simple skin traction and bed rest without surgery. The child had a satisfactory result, so we report on this case with reviewing the relevant literatures.

Relationship of Tibial Nonunion with Fibular Nonunion in the Tibio-fibular Shaft Fracture: Sang Bong Ko; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(2):153-156. Published online April 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.2.153

Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to know the relationship of tibial nonunion with fibular nonunion in the tibio-fibular shaft fracture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From March 1998 to February 2004, 98 tibio-fibular shaft fractures which did not involve adjacent joints and were followed up at least 1 year were selected. The characteristics of patients and tibia shaft fracture were analyzed statistically to know the above relationship.
RESULTS
The patient's factor and tibia shaft fracture factor were not significant statistically. In patients with the fibular union, there was 1 case (1/68) of tibia nonunion, but in patients with the fibular nonunion, there were 6 cases (6/30) of tibia nonunion. So fibular nonunion was significant statistically associated with tibia nonunion (p=0.003).
CONCLUSION
Fibular nonunion was presumed to have a higher risk of tibia nonunion.

The Reliability of Proximal Femoral Shaft Fracture Classification: Sang Wook Lee, Sang Bong Ko, Myung Rae Cho, Ho Hyoung Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(1):6-10. Published online January 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.1.6

Abstract: PURPOSE
The Garden classification by which femur neck fracture is classified and the Boyd-Griffin classification by which trochanteric fracture is classified are studied on the reproducibility, repeatability, interobserver's and intraobserver's reliability and then reliability.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
56 cases in femoral neck fracture and 60 cases in trochanteric fracture who were operated from May 1999 to December 2003 were classified by three observers who are hip surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon and senior residentship doctors three times. Femur neck fracture was classified by Garden's method which used commonly and trochanteric fracture was classified by Boyd-Griffin method which is classified by the pattern of fracture and degree of comminution. We got the interobserver's and intraobserver's Kappa score using the Stata 7.0 statistically. The statistical analysis was made by Stata 7.0.
RESULTS
Garden classification in femur neck fracture showed moderate agreement in intraobserver reliability and fair agreement in interobserver reliability. Boyd-Griffin classification in trochanteric fracture showed substantial agreement in intraobserver reliability and moderate agreement in interobserver reliability.
CONCLUSION
Boyd-Griffin classification showed over moderate agreement but Garden classification showed fair agreement, so using Garden classification in femur neck fracture has some problem in reliability and application.

Avulsion Facture of Short External Rotators in the Proximal Femur: A Case Report: Myung Rae Cho, Sang Bong Ko, Dae Ui Jeung; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(3):345-348. Published online July 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.3.345

Abstract PDF: Although avulsion fractures of greater and lesser trochanters rarely develop in hip fractures, avulsion fracture of short external rotators has not reported still online literature. Moreover, avulsion fracture of short external rotators can simulate the intertrochanteric fracture, and is difficult to differentiate from it on plain radiograph. This study is on the case 74-year old male patient who had avulsion fracture of short external rotators, and had the internal fixation with wire by open reduction under the diagnosis of the intertrochanteric fracture.

Nailing in the Patients with Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur: Comparision Gamma Nail and Proximal Femoral Nail: Sang Bong Ko, Myung Rae Cho, Tae Hoon Kim, Il Woong Chang; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(4):295-300. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.4.295

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of the fracture fixation using the Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) or Gamma nail in patient with the intertrochanteric fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 1999 to February 2002, we reviewed 63 patients of intertrochanteric fractures including 31 patients managed with Gamma nail and 32 patients with PFN. In variate analysis of age, the pattern and stability of fracture, bone density (Singh index), preoperative patient activity, there was no difference between two groups. We evaluated the operation time, blood loss, stable reduction rate and varus reduction rate as operation-related factors, and radiologically investigated union time, the frequency of delayed union and nonunion, failure of fixation, status of the fracture line and complications. Functional results were evaluated by the possibility of early ambulation, ambulation ability at last follow up, and the pre and postoperative difference of ambulatory ability.
RESULTS
Mean operation time was 103+/-40 minutes in Gamma nail group and 101+/-28 minutes in PFN group. It was not statistically significant (p=0.801). Even though intraoperative blood loss was less in PFN group, it was not significant (p=0.601). Postoperative stable reduction rate was 31% in Gamma nail group and 30% in PFN group (p=0.934), suggesting not significant. Postoperative varus reduction and impacted amount of the fracture line was not significant. Delayed union developed in one case of Gamma nail group and 2 cases of PFN group. Mean loss of ambulation ability was 1.28 grade in Gamma nail group and 0.86 grade in PFN group (p=0.383). Statistical analysis was performed with the use of Student T test and Chi-square test. Analyses resulting in a p value of <0.05 were considered to show significance.
CONCLUSION
Generally, the radiologic and clinical results of intertrochanteric fractures were comparable for the PFN group and Gamma nail group. Even though it was not statistically significant, PFN group had superior results in operation time and blood loss than Gamma nail group for the fixation of the patients with intertrochanteric fracture.

Treatment of Humerus Shaft Fracture with Intramedullary Nail: Dong Kyu Shin, Kwoing Woo Kwun, Shin Kun Kim, Sang Wook Lee, Chang Hyuk Choi, Sang Bong Ko; J Korean Soc Fract 2000;13(3):562-569. Published online July 31, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2000.13.3.562

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
This study was performed to evaluate the results of treatment of the humerus shaft fracture with interlocking IM nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The result of IM nailing for 29 patients with humerus shaft fracture were evaluated radiologically and clinically. We tried to compare the result of Seidel nail and that of interlocking nail.
RESULTS
The results were as follows ; 1. Nonunion rate was 50% in Seidel nail group and 27% in interlocking nail group(p=0.264). 2. Operation time was shorter in Seidel nail group(67.8min) than in interlocking nail group(115.4min)(p=0.002). 3. Fracture site distraction was present in 9 cases and resulted in nonunion in 8 cases. 4. Union time except the nonunion cases was 10.4weeks in Seidel nail group and 11.9weeks in interlocking nail group but was not considered to be significant due to many nonunion cases. 5. Proximal protrusion was present in 6 cases but resulted in shoulder LOM and pain in only 2 ). cases.
CONCLUSION
Although the operation time in Seidel nail group was shorter than in interlocking nail group, we couldn't find any other difference between the two nails. The results of treatment of humeral shaft fracture with interlocking nail was unsatisfactory in terms of union rate, complications, union time and functional result.
