Avulsion Fracture of Calcaneal Apophysis in an Adolescent Gymnast: A Case Report: Youn Moo Heo, Whan Young Chung, Sang Bum Kim, Cheol Yong Park, Jin Woong Yi; J Korean Fract Soc 2009;22(4):288-291. Published online October 31, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2009.22.4.288

Abstract PDF: The avulsion fracture of calcaneal apophysis by Achilles tendon in children is quite rare. It may occur with the injury of the apophysis on the calcaneal tuberosity in the children below the age of 12 to 15 before the union of the apophysis. The authors surgically treated a 14-year-old gymnast with the avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity who injured at the landing of the floor exercise. Radiographs at the fourteen months of follow-up showed slight irregularity of the calcaneal tuberosity but there were no pain or limitation of activity. We report a case with the review of literatures.

Fracture-Dislocation of the Carpometacarpal Joint with the Fracture of Hamate: Jin Woong Yi, Whan Young Chung, Woo Suk Lee, Cheol Yong Park, Youn Moo Heo; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(4):297-303. Published online October 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.4.297

PURPOSE
To evaluate the classification and treatment results about the injury of carpometacarpal (CMC) joint with the fracture of hamate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The authors categorized into 3 types (I, II, III) according to the location of injured CMC joint and type II was subdivided into 2 type (a, b) according to the size of coronal fragment of hamate fracture-type I: fracture-dislocation of 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIa: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with small-sized fragment or avulsion fracture of hamate, type IIb: fracture-dislocation of 4th and 5th CMC joint with coronal fracture of hamate body presenting an oblique or coronal splitting fracture, and type III: type II injury associated with injury of 3rd CMC joint or coronal plane fracture of capitate. All cases were carried out the operative treatment. And radiologic results and clinical results were evaluated.
RESULTS
Type I were 2 cases, type IIa 4, type IIb 5, and type III 3. Twelve of 14 cases were excellent or good results, 1 case (type III) was fair, and 1 case (type IIa) was poor. All cases obtained anatomic reduction of CMC joint. But, the posttraumatic arthritis was observed in 1 case (poor) and the displacement of non-fixed hamate fragment was observed in 1 case (fair).
CONCLUSION
We think that it may get more favorable outcomes by the fixation of the relative large fragment of hamate with anatomical reduction of CMC joint.

Sliding after Internal Fixation of Stable Intertrochanteric Fracture of the Femur: Woo Suk Lee, Whan Young Chung, Woo Sik Kim, Yong Chan Kim, Taek Soo Jeon, Sung Kwun Jo, In Tak Bae, Young Su Lim; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(2):110-114. Published online April 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.2.110

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the risk factors of sliding after internal fixation with sliding compression hip screw in stable intertrochanteric fracture of the femur.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From March 2000 to April 2003, 61 stable intertrochanteric fractures (Kyle-Gustilo type II) were treated operatively with sliding compression hip screws. The patients were 40 females and 21 males with an average age of 74 (range, 54~99). We measured vertical and horizontal shortening in regard to age, sex, bone mineral density, neck-shaft angle, cancellous bone defect, and the existence of lessor trochanter fracture on postoperative 6 months.
RESULTS
The average vertical shortening was 4.1 mm (0~22 mm) and the average horizontal shortening was 7.3 mm (0~30 mm). Age, sex, bone density and neck-shaft angle were not significantly related with vertical and horizontal shortening (p>0.05). Vertical shortening was significantly greater in the group with cancellous bone defect and in the group without lesser trochanter fracture (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Proper management for fracture site and fixation was needed to make it stable because the stable intertrochanteric fracture with cancellous bone defect and intact lesser trochanter could be induced into unexpected sliding.
