Although most cases of C2 traumatic spondylolisthesis, a so called Hangman's fracture, can be managed by a closed reduction and immobilization, surgery should be considered in the cases of non-reducible fractures or a recurrent subluxation. This report details our recent experience with the surgical treatment of a Type II Hangman's fracture after an unsuccessful closed reduction. Advantage and the technique of the posterior short segment fixation are discussed.

The Odontoid process fracture has been treated by prolonged external immobilization of by internal fixation and fusion. We reported congential and traumatic odontoid process fracture which were successfully treated by transoral fusion. Operative preparation, technique and postoperative management are described by in detail.

dontoid fractures have been treated either conservatively or by surgical fixation, and whether one method is better than the other is still controversial. Because it more effectively overcomes the problems of fracture instability and nonuinon, operative stabilization is now favored over external immobilization for the treatment of Type IIodontoid fractures. Most surgical stabilizations of such fractures use posterior cervical wiring techniques with C1-C2 arthrodesis; these, however, obliterate the rotation and flexion/extension of the atlantoaxial complex,and in Type II-P fractures, provide little resistance to further posterior subluxation. As no arthrodesis is performed, direct anterior screw fixation of odontoid fractures theoretically stabilizes the atlantoaxial complex and preserves its motion. Between January 1993 and December 1996, we performed eleven anterior screw fixations in patients who had suffered odontoid fractures(Type II, III); these were postoperatively followed up for an average of 27 months. Excepet for two cases of permissible malunion, thought to be due to fixation on a partially reduced state, all eleven cases showed firm union at the fracture site, with no significant disabilities and complications. The results indicate that in odontoid fracture reduction and eventual fracture union, the outcome of anterior screw fixation is excellent; there is, in addition, no decrease in cervical motion, a disadvantage inherent in currently accepted methods of treatment.

There are few reports of an isolated dislocation of the pisiform. An isolated dislocation of the pisiform without other injuries involving the carpal bones is particularly uncommon. This type of injury can be neglected in the acute period. We report a case of an isolated dislocation of the pisiform without a carpal bone injury in a young man treated primarily with a closed reduction, pinning and immobilization.

Treatment of the olecranon fractures by prolonged immobilization often results in limited elbow motion. With the use of tension band wiring, anatomical reduction was obtainable, and only a short period of immobilization was needed. We reviewed the cases of 17 patients who underwent surgical treatment of the olecranon fracture. All patients were treated by tension band wiring. In the overall series, we were able to obtain 53 percent excellent, 30 percent good, and 18 percent fair results.

The effectiveneas of compression plate fixation in promoting fracture healing could be due to a specific stimulus of compression on bone formation or to enhanced immobilization. ASI type heavy plate fixation for fracture of the femoral shaft was examined on occasions in three patient in the period 1971–1973. We believe that the major effect of the compression as applied through a compression plate is that of enhanced stabilization.

Since the first attemt of internal fixation not much more than a century ago, implants have come to play an important role in orthopaedic surgery. Yet little has been reported about complications which may result from implant surgery. During the period of May 1980 to April 1984, 32 cases of fixation failures were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hallym College, Kang Nam Sacred Heart Hospital and results were obtained as follows: 1. The most common area involved femoral shaft, but the highest rate was distal femur. 2. The most common period of failure was between 2 to 4 months postoperatively. 3. The leading cause of failure was remaining defects at fracture site. 4. The authors recommend accurate reduction of fracture and bone graft, if necessary, adequate immobilization postoperatively and co-coperation of patient to avoid failure of implant.
