Gartland types III IV as well flexion-type are more likely require an technique. Vascular compromise can overt is the case of white, pulseless extremity or subtle with “pink, pulseless” extremity. use Doppler signals intra...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to compare the cumulative survival rates (CSRs) and the incidence of postloading complications (PLCs) between a bone-level internal connection system (ICS-BL) and an external connection system (ECS). METHODS The medical records of patients treated with either a ICS-BL or ECS between 2007 and 2010 at Asan Medical Center were reviewed. PLCs were divided into two...

BACKGROUND Many hospitals in our country lack surgical expertise and operating room facilities like image intensifier and fractures table to carry out closed interlocking nails (ILN) in femoral shaft fractures. But availability of Surgical Implant Generation Network (SIGN) interlocking nails & nailing instrumentation have made open ILN of these fractures possible at very basic level of our heal...

results at follow-up, the nonoperatively treated patients had better functional outcomes than the operatively treated patients. nonoperatively treated patients also scored better on pain intensity and satisfaction. there were no significant differences in cesd, pcs, and sf-36 physical- and mental health summary scores between cohorts. conclusions the results of this study suggest that operative...
