Abstract PDF: Fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence has a clinical importance in aspect of associated ligament injury, limited range of motion and joint instability The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intercondylar eminence fracture and to compare the results of treatment by method of arthroscopic reduction and pull-out suture with results of conservative treatment. The results were evaluated with Mayers and Mckeevers criteria of result and instability. 23 cases of avulsion fracture of tibial intercondylar eminence were reviewed. Most common type was type II Most common cause was traffic accident. Closed reduction and cast immobilization was performed in 12 cases, of which 10 cases had above good result initially, reduction with pull-out suture by arthroscopy was performed in 11 cases, of which 10 cases had above good refult. Type III B fracture were reduction with minimal arthrotomy because of the arthroscopic reduction was difficult. 2 cases of instability were in type III A and type III B. An instability case of type III A was treated non-operatively and the other of type III B was treated pull-out suture. 1 case of extension limitation was in type II which waf treated non-operatively because of multiple injury.

A Comparision of Plate Fixation with Intramedullary Nailing in Treatments of Humeral Shaft Fracture: Duk Yong Lee, Jae Ik Shim, Taik Seon Kim, Sung Jong Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Dong Ki Lee, Yeon Sik Yoo, Woo Seung Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1998;11(3):696-702.

Abstract PDF: Authors report 42 cases of humeral shaft fractures, which were treated with plate fixation in 19 cases and intramedullary(IM) nailing in 23 cases, from January 1992 to December 1996. The average time of operation in plate fixation was 100 minutes and that in Im nailing was 65 minutes. The nonunion in plate fixation was 2(10.5%)cases and that in IM nailing was 4(17.4%)cases. Other complications of plate fixation were 2 cases of wound infection and 2 cases of radial nerve palsy. Those of IM nailing were 1 case of limited motion of the shoulder and 1 case of wound infection. After reviewing above reslts, we concluded that there were no marked difference between the two operative method in bone union of humeral shaft fracture cxcept diversity of complication.
