PURPOSE
To evaluate the effectiveness. analyze the result after retrograde intramedullary (IM) nailing in femoral shaft fracture MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-four femoral shaft fracture (32 patients) were operated with retrograde IM nail and followed the result for more than 18 month from march 2001 to march 2003. There were 6 of femoral mid shaft fractures and 28 of distal femur fractures. According to AO classification, there were 1 of A1, 1 of A2, 2 of A3, 2 of C1 in femoral mid shaft fracture and 11 of A1, 7 of A2, 7 of A3, 1 of B1, 2 of C1 in distal femur fracture. They included 5 open fracrures. By Gustilo classification there were 3 of type I, 2 of type II. Through radiologic study we evaluated the time of union, nonunion, malunion. And in clinical evaluation we checked knee function in 18 month after operation.
RESULTS
It took 16 weeks (range 12~20 weeks) for average bone uion period. 30 cases out of 34 cases had the bone union but 4 cases showed nonunion. There were not any complication except 3 cases of screw migration. Full rage of motion was gained in 29 cases. However knee stiffness occurred in 5 cases. The knee function through knee score was assessed by showing 28 of excellent, 1 of good, 5 of poor.
CONCLUSION
Even though the retrograde intramedullary nailing may have some defect to be able to damage to knee joint in operating, It can be useful surgical technique for femoral shaft fracture in such as ipsilateral fracture or multiple fracture, poor general condition, and so on.

Treatment of Intercondylar Fracture of Distal Humerus in Adult: Kyung Won Song, Seung Yong Lee, Sung Il Shin, Jin Young Lee, Kab Rae Kim, Hyung Seok Oh, Jin Duck Kim, Dae Eun Choi; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(1):62-66. Published online January 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.1.62

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate and report the clinical results of the treatment of distal humerus intercondylar fractures treated with internal fixation through the modified posterior approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 1999 to October 2003, 20 patient who had intercondyle fracture of the distal humerus treated with internal fixation through the modified posterior approach. We evaluated bone union, complication, postoperative elbow function.
RESULTS
The average follow up period was 12.8 months. Nearly all most cases united at 14 weeks in an average. There were two neuropraxia and two hardware failure. The range of the elbow joint motion was flexion contracture 8 degree (5~15 degree) to further flextion 120 degree (75~140 degree) in average. The functional result with Riseborough and Radin's functional scale were as follows; 13 good, 4 fair, 3 poor.
CONCLUSION
Not with severe comminuted like type C3 fracture, but in cases with intercondylar distal humerus fracture the modified posterior approach provided satisfactory exposure for open reduction and rigid internal fixation with satisfactory bone union. There was satisfactory bone union and good clinical result in postoperative elbow function.

The Percutaneous Pinning of the Displaced Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus using Skin Traction: In Heon Park, Kyung Won Song, Sung Il Shin, Jin Young Lee, Seung Yong Lee, Won Seok Oh; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(2):65-69. Published online April 30, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.2.65

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new treatment method, which was using intraoperative skin traction and Steinmann(S)-pin for anatomically reduction by gentle manipulation to treat the displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus with percutaneous pinning.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Clinical analysis was performed on thirty displaced supracondylar fractures (Gartland type III) of the humerus patients with a minimal three month follow up, who were treated percutaneous pinning after reduction with by intraoperative skin traction and S-pin. Clinical results were analyzed according to the Flynn grading system.
RESULTS
According to the Flynn grading system, excellent results were obtained in 12 cases (43%), good in 14 case (47%), fair in 4 cases (10%), poor in 0 cases (0%) and we obtained all satisfactory results. There was one case which was reoperated for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning repeatedly due to reduction loss and no case with conversion to open reduction.
CONCLUSION
To avoid the forceful manipulation, gentle closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using intraoperative skin traction and S-pin especially for rotational correction in the displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus is considered to be useful method because showed satisfactory results.

Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing for Treating Most Distal Tibial Fracture: In Heon Park, Kyung Won Song, Sung Il Shin, Jin Young Lee, Seung Yong Lee, Tae Hyoung Kim, Jeong Hun Cha; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(3):356-362. Published online July 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.3.356

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We analyzed the result of treatment for most distal extraarticular tibial fracture using interlocking intramedullary nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 1999 to April 2002, 8 patients who had most distal tibial fracture were treated by interlocking intramedullary nailing. The duration of follow-up was more than 12 months. The mean age was 41.5 years old. There were 5 males and 3 females. During follow-up period, we evaluated the bone union, range of motion of knee and ankle joint and gait pattern.
RESULTS
The average distance from fracture line to ankle joint line was 1.1 cm. The bone union was achieved at average 18.6 weeks. At the last follow-up, there was no limited motion on knee. But at one case, ankle range of motion was limited from 5 degree extension to 35 degree flexion. There was no gait disturbance.
CONCLUSION
Interlocking intramedullary nailing can be recommendable and useful in the most distal tibial fractures.

The Result of Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN(R)) for Unstable Femoral Peritrochanteric Fracture: Seung Yong Lee, In Heon Park, Kyung Won Song, Sung Il Shin, Jin Young Lee, Jeong Hun Cha; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):143-147. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.143

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
We have used the proximal femoral nailing (PFN(R)) to evaluate the result of treatment for unstable femoral peritrochanteric fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From December 2000 to December 2001, 20 patients who had femoral peritrochanteric fracture were treated with proximal femoral nail (PFN(R)) in our hospital. The mean duration of follow-up was 16.8 months and average age was 58.7 years old. We evaluated the ambulation time, bone union time, neck-shaft angle, neck screw sliding by follow-up radiography, and studied the intra-operative and post-operative complication.
RESULTS
The average ambulation time was 3.8 days, the mean bone union time was 20.9 weeks, the mean neck shaft angle was 130.2 degree at post-operative time and 128.8 degree at last follow-up time, and the average neck screw sliding distance was 4.1 mm. The intra-operative complication was rotation of proximal fracture fragment in 1 case and displacement of femoral greater trochanter in 2 cases at proximal reaming, and displacement of proximal fracture fragment in 1 case at femoral stem insertion. The post-operative complication was coxa vara deformity in 2 cases and superficial wound infection in 1 case.
CONCLUSION
We have conclude that the proximal femoral nail (PFN(R)) could appropriately treat the unstable femoral peritrochanteric fracture and we obtained satisfactory results.

Treatment Using Unreamed Intramedullary Nailing for Open Tibial Fractures: In Heon Park, Ki Byung Lee, Kyung Won Song, Jin Young Lee, Seung Yong Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(4):886-891. Published online October 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.4.886

Abstract PDF: Intramedullary nailing has become the most popular fixation method in the treatment of the tibial shaft fractures because it affords most rigid fixation of fracture via closed method which makes early rehabilitation possible. Unlearned interlocking nails offer the advantages of loss damage to the intramedullary blood supply, so infectious rate was lower in open fractures compared with reamed nails. We have analyzed 34 cases of 30 patients who performed unlearned interlocking intramedullary nail for open tibial fractures. The results were as follows : 1. The classification of the open fracture was 12 cases Gustilo-Anderson Type I, 20 cases Type II, 2 case Type III. 2. Bony union occured an average of 18 weeks postoperatively. 3. The complication were 4 cases of nonunion, 1 case of deep infection, and 1 case of screw loosening. In conclusion, unlearned intramedullary nailing is a good alternative method for the management of Type I, II open tibial fracture.
