Pediatric around Elbow Fracture: Taehun Kim, Jaeho Cho, Seungmin Chung; J Korean Fract Soc 2021;34(1):44-49. Published online January 31, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2021.34.1.44

Abstract PDF: This study assessed the current concepts of pediatric elbow fractures. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for publications in English on elbow fractures. Papers believed to yield significant findings to this area were included in this review. The supracondyle of humerus, lateral condyle of the humerus, proximal radius, and proximal ulna fractures were included. Sixteen papers and textbooks were selected. Pediatric elbow fractures should be evaluated for combined injuries. Treatment should be done accurately for each fracture for the further growth of children.

The Correlation between Surgical Timing and Perioperative Complications in the Treatment of Displaced Supracondylar Humeral Fractures of Children: Soo Hong Han, Duck Yun Cho, Hyung Ku Yoon, Byung Soon Kim, Jae Hwa Kim, Hyung Kun Park, Se Hyen Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2003;16(2):278-283. Published online April 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2003.16.2.278

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
Even though emergent percutaneous pinning after closed reduction is the popularized treatment of the displaced type II and type III pediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus, the timing of pinning still presents controversy. The purpose of this study is to suggest an appropriate surgical time without significant perioperative complications.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From April 1995 to January 2002, 179 consecutive patients who had undergone surgical treatment were selected. They were divided to 5 groups [A group: 8 hours or less following injury (24 cases), B group: from 9 to 16 hours (63 cases), C group: from17 hours to 24 hours (63 cases), D group: from 25 hours to 48 hours (18 cases), and E group: from 49 hours to 72 hours (11 cases)] and reviewed retrospectively to analyze perioperative complications and operation time.
RESULTS
There was no significant difference between each group with respect to surgical wound infection, iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury, VIC, operation time and the necessity of reoperation (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Within the parameters outlined in our study, we could not find the any meaningful correlation between surgical timing and occurrence of perioperative complications and also, we think that the timing of percutaneous pinning can be delayed to the time when a surgeon considers it appropriate.

A Case Report of Stress Fracture of the Suparcondyle of the Femur: Kwon Ick Ha, Sung Ho Hahn, Minyoung Chung, Bo Kyu Yang, Seung Rim Yi; J Korean Soc Fract 1990;3(2):197-201. Published online November 30, 1990; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1990.3.2.197

The stress fracture is a disease which results from the application of an abnormal stress to the normal bone by the action of the constant and repeated muscular pull. prior to the early 1960s, most reports of stress fractures were from military installation, however, with the recent increase in participation in leisure and professional athetic activities such fractures have vecome more common among civilians. We treated two cases of stress fractures of the supracondylar region of the femur in runners. One patient was treated conservatively, but the other with displacement was treated operatively. To our knowledge, no previous cases of this nature have been reported.
