This study examined the clinical and radiological results of the intraoperative fracture compression. Materials and Methods: Ninety-four patients underwent intraoperative compression (Group I), and 88 patients underwent natural sliding only (Group II). The patients were followed-up for more than two years. All patients met the following seven conditions: (1) AO/OTA 31-A1, A2 type intertrochanter fracture, (2) availability of compression of more than one cortical bone in the anterior or medial region of the fracture site under the preoperative imaging test, (3) Singh index grade ≥3, (4) blade position: center-center, center-inferior, (5) tip-apex distance < 25 mm, (6) reduction status of good or very good, and (7) positive or neutral medial cortical support position with slightly valgus reduction. Results: A slight tendency toward significant differences in acute phase pain between the two groups was observed at six weeks postoperatively (p=0.073). Twenty-four months after surgery, lateral extension of the PFNA helical blade between the two groups showed significant differences (p=0.017). Fracture gaps measured immediately after surgery showed significant differences (p=0.001), and a clear tendency for a significant difference in the average fracture union time was found (p=0.065). Conclusion: Intraoperative fracture compression, intraoperative fracture compression appears beneficial to achieve a successful union of trochanteric fractures provided that all conditions are met to apply the method safely.","PeriodicalId":436464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Fracture Society","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122820450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Articular cartilage defects are common in orthopedic practice. Most clinical and research efforts focus on restoring the damaged cartilage in connection with osteoarthritis or trauma.

Tissue engineering techniques are being employed with aims of repopulating a cartilage defect with hyaline cartilage containing living chondrocytes with hopes of improving the clinical outcomes. Cartilage tissue engineering involves the cell source, biomaterial and membranes, and growth stimulators. Tissue engineering is being applied to clinical medicine by autologous chondrocyte implantation or similar techniques.

Bone injuries induce an inflammatory response that promotes bone healing. On the other hand, an aberrant process, where inflammation becomes chronic, can inhibit the healing of injured bone.

During callus formation, cells differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells, such as osteoblasts and chondrocytes, play leading roles in bone healing. Currently, various treatment modalities have been developed through the known mechanism of bone healing, and the clinical outcomes of bone defect and fracture nonunion have been good.","PeriodicalId":436464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Fracture Society","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125544129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient sustained multiple injuries, including liver laceration with hemoperitoneum, bilateral open fractures of the tibia, and bilateral femoral neck, and shaft fractures caused by a high-speed motor vehicle accident. Under the circumstances, damage-control orthopedic principles were applied, and external fixators were initially placed. After the patient’s general condition showed improvement, both femurs were fixed with a reconstruction nail. Fracture healing was achieved without complications, such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

To treat the periprosthetic trochanteric fracture, a proximal femoral nail was used without removing the previously inserted compressive plate.

Purpose: This study examined the clinical outcomes after the treatment of a tibia segmental fracture with intramedullary nailing (IM nailing) and minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Materials and Methods: From July 2012 to December 2017, 14 out of 17 cases from a treatment cohort of 32 cases of AO type 42 C2 tibia segmental fractures with IM nailing and MIPO were studied retrospectively. Periodic radiographs were used to evaluate the presence of union, union time, and radiographic evaluation of bony union (varus-valgus deformity, anteroposterior angular deformity, shortening). To evaluate the postoperative clinical function, modified Rasmussen’s system was used for proximal fractures, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society functional score was used for distal fractures. Results: Bony union was achieved in all 14 cases, and the average union time was 26 weeks. In one case of soil contamination, there were no other complications other than simple debridement after a soft tissue infection. The mean varus was two degrees; the mean anteroposterior angular deformity was three degrees of anterior oblique; the mean length shortening was 5 mm (2-9 mm). The mean functional score of the knee joint with the Modified Rasmussen’s system measured for the postoperative clinical function was relatively good (excellent 9, good 4, fair 1, and poor 0). The results of the Molander and Olerud Functional scores of the ankle joints were also good (excellent 8, good 3, fair 2, poor 0). Conclusion: The treatment of tibia segmental fractures with IM nailing and MIPO can effectively reduce the gap of fracture sites. Hence, it is possible to increase the bony union probability and obtain relatively satisfactory alignment. Overall, the treatment of tibia segmental fractures with IM nailing and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis appears to be a useful treatment, considering the preservation of the soft tissue and the alignment of the tibia.","PeriodicalId":436464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Fracture Society","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129017608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: From July 2005 to May 2015, 48 patients diagnosed with intertrochanteric fractures underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty. The mean age and follow-up period were 80.5 years and 30.5 months, respectively. The postoperative results were evaluated clinically and radiologically. Results: The mean operation time was 100 minutes (range, 90-120 minutes), and the mean amount of blood loss was 334 ml (range, 170-500 ml). At the last follow-up, the mean Harris hip score (HHS), visual analogue scale (VAS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were 82.2 (range, 76-90), 0.8 (range, 1-3), and 36 (range, 30-40), respectively. Walking was initiated using a walker for partial weight-bearing, and the mean walking time was 5.8 days (range, 3-14 days). Ambulatory ability was restored to a walking state before the injury in 36 cases (75.0%), and wheelchair ambulation was possible in 12 cases (25.0%). The instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) were 17 patients (35.4%), and the basic activities of daily living (BADLs) were 31 patients (64.6%).
