Purpose: to determine the results after open intramedullary nailing and tension band suture technique in proximal humerus fracture for improving the stability and decreasing the complications. Materials and Method: Authors reviewed 27 patients treated by open intramedullary nailing and tension band suture technique. Mean follow-up period was 39 months (24-59months). Surgical neck fracture were 6 cases, surgical neck fracture with shaft fracture were 3 cases, three part fracture with greater tuberosity fracture were 17 cases, four part fracture was 1 case and fracture and dislocation were 2 cases Results: We got the bony union in 26 cases. Average pain scale was 1 point (0-6), Neer score was 86 point(45-99) and ASES score was 85 point(40-100). We separate all cases in two groups based on age (65 years), L-spine t-score (-2.5) and Neer classification (2 and 3 part). There is no significance in pain scale, Neer score and ASES score between each group. Conclusion: As a method of surgical treatment on severe proximal humeral fractures, we recommend intramedullary nailing and tension band suture technique and it may have particular advantages in early exercise and satisfactory functional outcome.

목적: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에 대해서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합 법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술에 대한 추시 결과와 유효성을 보고하고자 한다. 방법: 2006년 1월부터 20011년 10월까지 큰 크기의 회전근 개 전 층 파열로 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용하여 적어도 대결절의 내연까지 봉합이 가능하여 관절경하 봉합술을 시행하였던 71예의 환자를 1군으로, 단순 봉합법을 시행하였던 20예를 2군으로 하여 비교하였으며, 술 전과 7개월, 1년, 최종 추시 VAS of pain, ASES 점수의 ADL (Activity of Daily Living), UCLA 점수를 측정하였다. 통계적인 검정은 양군간에 student t-test와 수술 전후에 paired t-test로 비교하였다. 평균 연령은 63.2 (52~80)세 였고 평균 추시 기간은 38.4 (13~62)개월 이었다. 결과: 동통에 대한 VAS 점수에서 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 8.1에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.6로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.6에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.8로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 두 군 간의 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 평균 ADL은 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.5에서 술 후 최종 추시 평균 29.0으로 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 평균 11.3에서 27.5으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). UCLA 점수는 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.9에서 술 후 최종 추시 28.7으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.8에서 술 후 최종 추시 30.1으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). 술 후 평균 27.5주째에 촬영한 MRI (20예)와 초음파 (51예)를 이용한 재 파열의 비교에서 1군에서 28%, 2군에서는 20예중 11예에서 재 파열이 있어서 두 군간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 결론: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술은 단순 봉합법을 이용한 봉합술과 비교하여 임상적으로 차이가 없으나 재 파열에서 의미 있는 차이가 있었다.

To prevent distraction and varus deformity between the humeral head and shaft, tension band sutures placed between the head of the interlocking screw and the rotator cuff, and we recommend using nonabsorbable sutures. We describe our simple procedure to overcome these difficulties in tension band suturing after reducing a proximal humerus fracture to maintain the reduction.

A 3-year-old, 24-kg intact female Border Collie was referred for a toe-touch weight-bearing stance, intermittent weight-bearing lameness, and moderate pain reaction of the right forelimb on physical examination and right humerus olecranon avulsion fracture on diagnostic imaging examination. Surgical repair was performed using tension band wiring to re-attach the triceps tendon and distal olecranon. Migration of the distal olecranon fragment was observed due to comminuted fracture of the fragment 5-days after surgery, and revision surgery was performed. The tension-relieving sutures were passed through the pre-drilled hole in the olecranon, and the polyester mesh was augmented to the suture region, covering the triceps tendon and olecranon drilling hole using the Krackow suture pattern. The elbow joint was immobilized using a type IA transarticular external fixator, which was removed 8 weeks after surgery. Fourteen weeks after surgery, no lameness was observed on gait evaluation. At follow-up after 7 months, the distal olecranon fragment had stabilized, and no lameness was observed.

Comminuted fractures of the patella mostly occur at the inferior pole and require appropriate reduction and fixation to restore the extensor mechanism. Conventional methods such as tension-band wiring are not enough to gain proper fixation strength. Numerous methods have been reported, including circumferential cerclage wiring, osteosynthesis, and suture anchors depending on the fracture pattern. Herein, the author reports a relatively rare case of a comminuted fracture of the upper pole of the patella, for which we used augmented Krackow sutures in the quadriceps and fixation with tying of the suture limbs through patellar bone tunnels. Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of reduction and extensor mechanism recovery.

Purpose: Though its general usage, traditional tie-over dressing using suture has a few drawbacks such as difficulty in re-fixation after its opening especially when hematoma or seroma has occurred. It is rather difficult to maintain a stable dressing on curvy parts of body like flank, buttocks and that leads to unsatisfactory results of the surgery. Authors recommend a quick and repeatedly doable method, tie-over dressing that incorporates the usage of hooks and rubber bands. Methods: Debridement was done at a recipient site to be able to do skin graft. A right size of skin graft was prepared and placed upon the defect site with suture. Enough number of hooks were attached using Blue nylon at the normal skin of the edge of grafted area. We Applied dressing with ointment and fluffy gauze then fixed the dressing by attaching a rubber band at the hook to give a certain amount of tension. One or two days after the surgery, we opened the tie-over dressing and repeated the tie-over dressing by reusing the hooks and rubber band. Results: The skin grafts were all successfully taken and by repeating tie-over dressing using hooks and rubber, we could take the advantage of shortened the dressing time and eliminate the inconvenience of the patient and the surgeon by using bandages and fixing tapes. Conclusion: The advantage of tie over dressing using hooks and rubber bsnds are its easy re-doability early detection of probable complications, preventability of reoccurence of hematoma and seroma. Therefore, authors report this as considering the tie-over dressing using hooks and rubber bands is recommendable.

슬개골 횡골절은 수술이 필요한 전위된 슬개골 골절의 가장 흔한 형태이다. 이러한 슬개골 횡골절은 골절선을 지나 평행하게 삽입된 Kirschner-강선이나 나사못에 장력대 강선을 추가적으로 고정한 기법이 흔히 사용된다. 그러나 고식적인 고정 방법의 경우 삽입된 강선이나 핀의 돌출에 의한 합병증이 흔히 발생한다. 이러한 합병증은 내고정물의 제거를 위한 추가적인 수술을 필요로 하고, 의료비 상승 및 슬관절의 기능 제한을 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 슬개골 횡골절에 대해 안정적인 고정력을 제공하고 수술 시 연부조직 손상을 최소화하여 골절부 혈류를 보존하고 수술 후 통증을 감소시키며, 내고정물에 의한 자극과 그에 따른 통증을 감소시켜 관절 운동 제한 발생 위험을 감소 시키는 최소 침습 부하 분산 경피적 슬개건 봉합술을 이용하여 치료한 사례들을 수술 술기와 함께 보고하고자 한다.
