Objective: Malunion of distal radial fracture can result in pain, stiffness, and decreased function of the affected limb. Occupational therapy intervention can improve outcomes in these patients, but there is limited research on the effectiveness of such interventions. Case Description: This case report describes the occupational therapy intervention and outcomes for a 44-year-old female patient with malunion of left distal radial fracture. The patient received 8 weeks of occupational therapy intervention consisting of therapeutic exercises, joint mobilization, and fine motor activities. The patient demonstrated significant improvements in range of motion, grip strength, and activities of daily living (ADL) in her left hand. The patient also reported less pain and greater ease in performing activities of daily living. Conclusion: Occupational therapy intervention can be effective in improving outcomes for patients with malunion of distal radial fracture. This case report highlights the importance of early intervention and interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes. Further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for patients with malunion of distal radial fracture.

The posttraumatic complications of jaw fractures related to jaw function and facial deformity include nonunion, malunion, malocclusion, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and facial asymmetry. This report presents cases referred to our department for revision of malunion and malocclusion following inadequate reduction of jaw fractures. Three patients with posttraumatic malocclusions caused by malunion were treated with a LeFort I osteotomy in one case and re-fracture in two cases. All of the patients exhibited stable results without further complications (e.g., malunion or malocclusion). Accurate preoperative diagnosis and proper anatomical reduction of the fracture segments are essential to preventing post-surgical malunion and malocclusion.

The proper management of mandibular fractures involves reduction, rigid fixation, and immobilization to allow bone healing. Nonunion or malunion at the fractured sites is a well-known complication of fracture when the treatments are inappropriate. We present a case of left mandibular fracture due to shrapnel during the Korean War. The patients did not receive appropriate treatment at that time, so nonunion and malunion developed. Sixty years after the accident, mandibular osteomyelitis on the fracture site developed due to dental-origin inflammation. The treatment was based on relatively conservative care, such as saucerization and administration of antibiotics. There was no complication during the short-term follow-up. We present the case with literature review.

Calcaneal fractures account for 2% of all fractures and approximately 60 to 70% of tarsal fractures. These fractures typically are the result of high-energy injury, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall from a height. The potential for disabling malunion following intrarticular displaced calcaneal fracture is high, regardless of treatment. Fracture displacement typically results in loss of hindfoot height, varus and widening of the hindfoot, with possible subfibular impingement and irritation of the peroneal tendon and/or sural nerve. Frequently, subtalar joint develops posttraumatic arthritis. In symptomatic patients with calcaneal malunion, systemic evaluation is required to determine the source of pain. Nonsurgical treatment, such as activity and shoe modification, bracing, orthoses, and injection, is effective in many patients. Surgical treatment may involve simple ostectomy, subtalar arthrodesis with or without distraction, or corrective calcaneal osteotomy. A high rate of successful arthrodesis and of patient satisfaction has been reported with surgical manamgent.

Inappropriate treatment for calcaneus fracture may result in malunion causing long-lasting pain and functional deficits. When such complications occur, the ideal principle of management is preserving congruence and motion of adjacent joints. For three patients with calcaneus fracture malunion, subtalar joint-preserving surgery using exostectomy and corrective osteotomy was performed, and satisfactory outcomes were achieved postoperatively.

Haglund's syndrome produces retrocalcaneal bursitis or achilles tendinitis due to impingement of posterior superior bursal projection of calcaneus on insertional fibers of achilles tendon. Haglund's syndrome has been mainly associated with wearing rigid counter shoes and with athletes. We experienced three case of late sequelae of secondary Haglund's syndrome after malunion of tongue type calcaneus fracture. It is to be the first description of secondary Haglund's syndrome after calcaneus malunion and also the first report as the late complication of calcaneus fractures. Three cases were all tongue type intraarticular fractures and were treated with $45^{\circ}$ superior angle resection of superior calcaneal tuberosity. Clinical results by modified Rowe score were excellent with complete pain relief for all three cases.

There may be complications after comminuted or intraarticular calcaneal fracture regardless of the initial treatment. Transcalcaneal talonavicular dislocation is rarely reported severe form of calcaneal fracture. We experienced a neglected transcalcaneal talonavicular subluxation case, who had been treated for intraarticular calcaneal fracture conservatively. Subtalar distraction bone block fusion was done for calcaneal malunion with talonavicular subluxation. Inspite of successful subtalar fusion, pain was persisted because of talonavicular re-subluxation with arthritis and calcaneocuboid arthritis. So, second operation, the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid fusion, was done. After union achieved, the patient's foot pain was improved. Calcaneal malunion combined with talonavicular subluxation and unstable transverse tarsal joint, such as this case, initial triple arthrodesis could be considered.

비록 수술적 치료의 발전에 의해 부정유합의 발생은 감소하였으나 복합적 골절 또는 동반된 손상 등으로 인하여 드물지 않은 합병증이다. 관절 연골에 과한 하중이나 관절의 불안정성이 예상되는 부정유합이 있다면 교정 절골술이 필요하다. 부정유합에 대한 절골술을 시행하기 위해서는 수술 전 계획이 매우 중요하다. 적절한 계획이 없을 경우 의인성 부정정렬, 수술중 골절, 변형의 재발, 연부조직의 손상과 같은 심각한 합병증이 따르게 된다. 또한 적절한 환자를 선택하지 않았을 경우 불량한 기능적 결과가 나타날 수 있다. 본 종설은 부정유합을 치료하기 위하여 수술적 적응증, 수술 전 계획, 그리고 수술방법과 고정물 종류에 따른 다양한 교정 절골술의 방법에 대하여 기술하였다.

오구 충돌 증후군은 상완골 전상방 면과 오구견봉 궁 후외측면의 비정상적 접촉에 의해 발생하며, 그 원인으로는 외상성, 특발성 및 의인성 인자가 있다. 그 중 외상에 의한 경우는 견갑골 경부, 오구 돌기, 또는 상완골 소결절 골절이 원인이 될 수 있다. 상완골 소결절 부정 유합에 의한 오구 충돌 증후군은 드문 질환으로 치료에 대해서는 주로 개방적 수술이 사용되어 왔으나 관절경적 오구 돌기 성형술과 함께 소결절의 경피적 고정술을 보고한 예는 없었다. 이에 저자들은 상완골 소결절 부정 유합으로 발생한 오구 충돌 증후군에 대하여 관절경적 수술로 치유된 1 예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Transverse mandibular deficiency is rare maxillomandibular malrelationship. Most of this malrelationship is considered to be caused by loss of bone substances. This can be corrected by subapical osteotomy, midsagittal vertical osteotomy, midline horizontal L sliding osteotomy, etc., case by case. In these cases, malrelationship after malunion of mandibular fracture, combination of vertical osteotomy and sliding autogenous cortical bone graft was used and favorable results were obtained. Advantages over previous traditional surgical methods were as follows : 1. This method provided easy access and good visibility. 2. It provided broad bone contact area, thus no other operation to obtain bone graft was needed. 3. There were little circumstances to extract teeth. 4. There were no difficulty in tongue movement after operation.
