Periprosthetic Fracture after Proximal Humeral Intramedullary Nail, Treated by Functional Bracing: A Case Report: Jae Hyuk Shin, Ho Guen Chang, Young Woo Kim, Nam Kyou Rhee, Yong Bok Park, Yong Kuk Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(2):185-190. Published online April 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.2.185

Abstract PDF

Periprosthetic fracture following a proximal humeral intramedullary (IM) nailing is rarely reported neither for its occurrence nor for its treatment. Proximal humeral IM nail (Acumed, LLC, Hillsboro, OR, USA) has been increasingly reported of its successful treatment outcomes, yet there is paucity of data describing its complications. Here we report a 26 year-old female patient, who sustained a proximal humerus fracture which was initially successfully treated by proximal humeral IM nail, and was complicated by a periprosthetic fracture distal to the nail tip at postoperative 4 months. Serial application of U-shaped coaptation splint, hanging cast, and functional bracing resulted in satisfactory clinical outcome. Periprosthetic fracture after proximal humerus IM nail can occur by a low energy injury, which need to reminded in treating young and sports-active patients.

Vertebroplasty for the Treatment of Painful Osteoporotic Compression Fractures: Young Woo Kim, Ho Guen Chang, Kee Byoung Lee, Yong nam Ji, Yong Beom Lee, Jeong Mo Ku; J Korean Fract Soc 2004;17(1):49-54. Published online January 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2004.17.1.49

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate results regarding pain relief, spinal stabilization, and complication after treatment with percutaneous vertebroplasty.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
108 patients (12 men, 96 women; aged 42~84 years) underwent 156 percutaneous injections of surgical cement into a vertebra (vertebroplasty) with fluoroscopic guidance in 119 procedures. All patients had severe pain,osteoporotic fractures and had failed medical therapy. Immediate and long-term pain response, spinal stability, and complications were evaluated. Assessment criteria were the changes over time (Days 3, 30, 90, 180) in visual analogue scale (VAS: 0~100 mm) and McGill-Melzack scoring system. The height of vertebral body was checked at three portions (anterior, middle, posterior) with lateral view of plain radiographs.
RESULTS
A statistically significant decrease of both VAS and McGill-Melzack scoring system was observed at Day 3. The results were also significant at Days 30, 90, and 180 both scales. We observed no adverse event, but 26 vertebral fractures had occured in the adjacent level during 12 months of follow-up. The leakage of cement was observed in 57 vertebral bodies (36.5%). But there was no neurological symptoms associated with cement leakage. The vertebral body height was increased after vertebroplasty.
CONCLUSION
Vertebroplasty is safe and effective, and have a useful role in the treatment of painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures that do not respond to conventional treatments. Continuous management of osteoporosis and patient education is mandantory to prevent subsequent fracture of the adjacent vertebral bodies.

Selective treatment for completely displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children: Chang Wug Oh, Byung Chul Park, Young Woo Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2001;14(3):534-540. Published online July 31, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2001.14.3.534

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
This retrospective study was performed to know the clinical results after closed reduction and open reduction for completely displaced supracondylar fractures of distal humerus in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Twenty-eight cases of this injury at the mean age of 6.4 (range 21- 138 months), have been followed up over the minimum of one year. The types according to the position of displacement were 15 in posteromedial, and 13 in posterolateral displacement. There were 4 cases of associated nerve palsies (3;median, 1; radial). We tried the closed reduction (17 cases), but open reduction (11 cases) was indicated in irreducible cases with or without severe swelling. Then, the fractures were stabilized by percutaneous K-wires with lateral (23 cases) or cross pinning (5 cases). The differences of Baumann's angle, humero-ulnar angle, and elbow motion to uninjured side were calculated, and Flynn's criteria was used for evaluation.
RESULTS
All fractures were united without any infection or soft tissue compromise. The symptoms of injured nerve recovered within 8 weeks. According to Flynn's cirteria, results were excellent in eleven, good in 12, fair in 2, and poor in 3. The rates of satisfactory results over good were similiar between closed and open reduction, and the other factors including age and type of displacement were not meaningful. The mean Baumann's angle was 8.7 in closed and 6.6 in open reduction group. None of the patients showed restricted elbow motion above 10 degrees, even in 3 cases of hypertrophic scars in the group of open reduction.
CONCLUSION
The selective use of open reduction in completely displced supracondylar fractures of distal humerus in children, would show results as good as closed reduction.
