목적: 소아 요골 원위부 골절은 가장 흔한 골절이면서 불안정 골절의 경우 정복 후에도 재전위 위험성이 높아 주의가 요망된다. 이러한 재전위에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2011년 2월부터 2018년 6월까지 완전 전위된 소아 요골 원위부 불안정 골절로 본원 외래에서 보존적 치료한 6세에서 14세까지의 환자들을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 하였다. 전체 대상 환자 44예 중 재전위된 환자들에서 연령, 성별, 석고 지표, 간격 지표, 3점 고정 지표, 골절면 경사도, 관절면에서 골절선까지 거리를 환산한 골절 높이 비, 요골-제2 중수골 각도 등을 측정하여 마지막 골유합 상태에서 남은 각형성의 정도로 결과를 평가하여 비교를 하였다. 결과: 평균 9.2도(0-32.8도) 각형성이 남았으며 범주 내의 결과를 기준으로 하여 10도 미만이 29예, 10도 이상이 15예로 확인되었다. 정복 후 재전위가 발생한 군과 대조군 사이에 평가된 요소들 중 석고 지표들은 두 군 간에 차이가 없었다. 연령, 성별에서도 군 간에 차이가 없었고, 골절면 경사도, 요골-제2 중수골 각도도 차이가 없었다. 관절면에서 골절선까지의 거리를 환산한 골절 높이 비가 가장 의미 있는 안정요소로 평가되었고(p=0.001) 척골 골절이 동반된 경우도 불안정한 요소로 평가되었다(p=0.019). 결론: 소아 요골 간단부 완전 전위 골절, 특히 요골 골간단-골간 이행부의 골절의 경우 불안정한 골절로 평가되므로 좀 더 주의가 필요하며 충분한 재형성을 기대하기 어려운 연령에서는 만족스러운 결과를 위하여 수술적 치료가 선호될 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics and severity of wrist injuries in snowboarding. Methods: December 2005 to February 2008, Snowboarders who experienced wrist injures were included in this study. On the basis of the medical records and radiographic evaluation, the severity of distal radius fracture was classified according to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Osteosynthesefragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) classification. Results: Most of the injured snowboarders were a either of the beginner (35 cases, 46.1%) or the intermediate (27 cases, 35.5%) level. The most common cause of injury in snowboarding was a slip down (60 cases, 78.9%). Comminuted and articular fractures classified as AO types A3, B, and C, which required surgical reduction, made up 42.3% of the distal radial fractures in snowboarders. When we analyzed the differences in severity between the educated and the non-educated groups, an A2 type injury in the AO classification was the most common type of injury in the educated group (20 cases, 38.5%), it means less severe fractures ocurred in the educated group (p=0.045). The most frequent injury mechanism of fractures was slip down (48 cases, 63.2%), and a slip down backwards was the dominant type of slip down (36 cases, 75.0%) (p=0.031). Conclusion: Among the snowboarders in this study who suffered self-down injury to the wrist, more fractures were associated with a backwards slip down than with a forward slip down due to over extension. For educated snowboarders the severity of fracture was lower than it was for uneducated snowboarders.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Kaltenborn-Evjenth (KE) joint mobilization of the distal radioulnar joints (RUJ) and proximal RUJ in distal radius fractures (DRFs) on range of motion (ROM), grip strength (GS), and patient-written wrist evaluation (PRWE) in each group once, thrice, or fivefold. Methods : Forty-two subjects participated in this study. We divided the subjects with DRFs into groups applying KE concepts RUJ mobilization once, thrice, and fivefold. The patients' ROM and GS were measured using a joint goniometer and dynamometer, respectively. Pain and function were also assessed using a PRWE. In the statistical analysis, all data were tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and paired t-tests were performed for within-group before-and-after comparisons of each intervention. One-way analysis of variance was used for between-group comparisons of differences. All statistical significance levels were set at α=.05. Results : There were significant differences in the ROM in all three groups before and after the intervention (p<.05), but there were no significant differences between the groups. There were significant differences in the GS in the three groups before and after the intervention (p<.05), but there were no significant differences between the groups. In the pain part of the PRWE, all three groups had significant differences before and after intervention (p<.05), but there was no significant difference between the groups. In the functional part of the PRWE, there were significant differences in the three groups before and after intervention (p<.05), but no significant difference occurred between the groups. Conclusion : Based on the aforementioned results, there were no significant between-group differences in ROM, GS, and PRWE (pain and function) after the application of the K-E joint mobilization to DRFs once, thrice, and fivefold. Nevertheless, there were significant within-group differences in all the above.

Pediatric carpal fractures are rare and often difficult to detect. This paper reviews the current literature on pediatric non-scaphoid carpal fractures, with a case report of a lunate fracture associated with a distal radius and ulnar styloid fracture, managed nonoperatively in a 12-year-old boy. There is lack of consensus regarding the management of these fractures due to the low number of reported cases. A frequent lack of long-term follow-up limits our understanding of the outcomes, but good outcomes have been reported for both nonoperative and operative management. This case report brings attention to the current time period for the definition of delayed union in pediatric carpal fractures, and emphasizes the need for prolonged follow-up for the detection of delayed complications leading to functional impairment.

Forearm fractures in children are very common among all pediatric fractures. However, biomechanical investigations on the pediatric forearm are rather scarce, partially due to the complex anatomy, closely situated, interrelated structures, highly dynamic movement patterns, and lack of appropriate tools. The purpose of this study is to develop a computational tool for child forearm investigation and characterize the mechanical responses of a backward fall using the computational model. A three-dimensional 10-year-old child forearm finite element (FE) model, which includes the ulna, radius, carpal bones, metacarpals, phalanges, cartilages and ligaments, was developed. The high-quality hexahedral FE meshes were created using a multi-block approach to ensure computational accuracy. The material properties of the FE model were obtained by scaling reported adult experimental data. The design of computational experiments was performed to investigate material sensitivity and the effects of relevant parameters in backward fall. Numerical results provided a spectrum of child forearm responses with various effective masses and forearm angles. In addition, a conceptual L-shape wrist guard design was simulated and found to be able to reduce child distal radius fracture.

The purpose of this study was to present the models for classifying the wrist X-ray images by types and for segmenting the radius automatically in each image using deep learning and to verify the learned models. The data were a total of 904 wrist X-rays with the distal radius fracture, consisting of 472 anteroposterior (AP) and 432 lateral images. The learning model was the ResNet50 model for AP/lateral image classification, and the U-Net model for segmentation of the radius. In the model for AP/lateral image classification, 100.0% was showed in precision, recall, and F1 score and area under curve (AUC) was 1.0. The model for segmentation of the radius showed an accuracy of 99.46%, a sensitivity of 89.68%, a specificity of 99.72%, and a Dice similarity coefficient of 90.05% in AP images and an accuracy of 99.37%, a sensitivity of 88.65%, a specificity of 99.69%, and a Dice similarity coefficient of 86.05% in lateral images. The model for AP/lateral classification and the segmentation model of the radius learned through deep learning showed favorable performances to expect clinical application.

1년령의 중성화된 수컷 요크셔테리어와 7년령의 암컷 푸들이 골절의 지연유합으로 내원하였다. 요크셔테리어의 경우 오른쪽 요골과 척골의 원위부가 골절되었고, 푸들의 경우 왼쪽 경골과 비골의 원위부가 골절되었다. 두 환자에서 신체검사 및 방사선검사를 통해 골절의 유합이 지연되고 있음을 확인하였다. 골절부는 금속판 및 나사못으로 고정시키고 자가해면질골을 골절 틈새에 이식하였다. 또한 빠른 골유합을 위해 $20{\mu}g$의 rh-BMP 2 가 포함된 matrigel을 골절부에 주입하였다. 수술 후 방사선검사를 통해 골절부의 치유 상태를 확인하였다. 장기간의 방사선검사에서 두 마리 모두 빠른 골유합을 보였다. 첫 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 2주째에 요골과 척골 골절 틈새에 골밀도가 증가하였다. 20주째에는 골절선이 더 이상 관찰되지 않았으며, 정상 외관을 회복하였다. 두 번째 증례에서는 방사선사진상에서 11주째에 골절 치유가 진행되고 있음이 확인되었다. 이 두 증례 모두 예상한 것보다 골절의 치유가 빠르게 일어났다. 따라서 rh-BMP 2와 matrigel은 지연유합된 골절의 치유를 촉진하는데 효과가 있다고 생각된다.

Background: Gunshot-related fractures near the elbow are challenging, and available data to guide the practitioner are lacking. This report analyzes injury patterns and treatment strategies in a case series from a high-volume urban trauma center. Methods: All periarticular gunshot fractures near the elbow treated at a level 1 trauma center from 2014 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Fracture location, patient demographics, concomitant injuries, treatment modalities, and complications were analyzed. Results: Twenty-four patients were identified. All patients received prophylactic antibiotics upon admission and underwent urgent surgical debridement. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) was performed with initial debridement in 22 of 24 patients. Seven patients sustained distal humerus fractures, 10 patients sustained isolated proximal ulna or proximal radius fractures, and seven had combined fracture patterns. Eleven patients presented with nerve palsy, and two had transected nerves. Two patients had vascular injury requiring repair. One patient required a temporary elbow-spanning external fixator and underwent staged debridement followed by ORIF. One patient with a grade IIIC fracture developed a deep infection that precluded ORIF. One patient required revision ORIF due to fracture displacement. Conclusions: This investigation reports on management of ballistic fractures near the elbow at a busy urban level I trauma center. Our management centered on rapid debridement, early definitive fixation, and intravenous antibiotic administration. We report on associated neurovascular injury, bone loss, and other challenges in this patient population. Level of evidence: IV.
