Abstract

Purpose : To report a short-term clinical results and technical method of thermal shrinkage with radiofrequency device for anterior and posterior cruciate ligament laxity which is not suitable to indications of reconstructive surgery. Materials and Methods : Nine cases of anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL), 5 cases of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries and 3 cases of combined anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries, in which the condition is not indicated as reconstructive surgery, are investigated. The follow-up period averaged 6 months. Results : Instability in living activity, limping and pain were improved with excellent results. But, posterior cruciate ligament thermal shrinkage revealed as recurrent knee laxity progressively Conclusions : The result of thermal shrinkage for partial tear of cruciated ligament was excellent. We believe this procedure is applicable to partial tear of the ACL or PCL which reconstructive surgery is not indicated. Long-term follow-up results were needed.

목적: 재건술의적응이되지않는전,후방십자인대손상환자에서radiofrequency 방식을이용한열위축술을시행하여술기및단기추시결과를보고하고자한다. 대상및방법 : 재건술의적응이되지않는전방십자인대9예, 후방십자인대5예를대상으로하였으며평균추시기간은6개월이었다. 결과 : 일상생활에서느꼈던불안정성은감소됐으며파행이나통증등이현저하게호전되었다. 다만후방십자인대에서시행한경우시간이지남에따라다시슬관절이완이증가하는소견을관찰할수있었다. 결론 : Radiofrequency를이용한열위축술은많은활동을요하는젊은사람의슬관절십자인대손상에서, 특히경도의부분파열및수술의적응이되지않는이완환자에서증상을보일경우시도해볼수있는술식중의하나로추천할만하다. 그러나본결과는단기추시이므로장기추시와대조군연구가요할것으로사료된다.
