Purpose: An osseous defect in the glenoid and humeral head is closely associated with recurrence of anterior shoulder instability. The purpose of this article is to describe the open surgical techniques and introduce our experiences with anterior instability with a significant osseous defect. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the articles that have focused on and/or mentioned the affect of osseous defects on anterior shoulder instability. The open surgical techniques and its related pearls are summarized in this review. Results: Accurate evaluation for the size and location of the osseous defect is critical for preventing recurrence after restoration of the anterior capsulolabral structure. The glenoid bone restoration techniques include the coracoids transfer (the Bristow procedure and the Latarjet procedure) and a structural iliac bone graft. Rotational humeral osteotomy and an osteoarticular allograft could be used for repairing a significant posterosuperior humeral defect (Hill-Sachs lesion). Shoulder arthroplasty may be tried for treating a humeral bone defect, but more study on this is needed. Conclusion: Open surgical restoration decreases the risk of recurrence anterior shoulder instability that is combined with a significant osseous defect. Arthroscopic surgery currently has limitations for treating an osseous defect, but it will become useful in proportion to the development of arthroscopic instruments and techniques in the future.

견관절의 다방향 불안정성은 생역학 및 생화학적 이상의 복합적 요인에 의해 발생되는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이에 대한 보다 많은 연구가 이루어져야 될 것으로 생각된다. 최근 다방향 불안정성과 관련된 요소에 따라 분류가 세분화되어 치료가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 진단시 세심한 병력과 진찰이 매우 중요하며 이에 따라 치료 방침을 결정해야 할 것이다. 많은 환자에서 삼각근, 회전근 개, 견갑 안정화 근육을 강화시킴으로써 증상이 호전되나 비수술적 치료에 호전이 없는 경우는 관절 낭 이동술을 이용하여 비교적 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 일반적으로 개방적 술식이 다방향 불안정성을 위한 수술적 치료의 표준적 술식으로 알려져 있으나. 최근에는 여러 관절경적 술식이 개발되고 있고 이에 따른 중 단기 추시 결과도 비교적 좋은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이 술식에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해서는 많은 경험과 장기 추시 결과를 요한다.

족관절 고정술은 족관절에 발생한 심한 관절염(end-stage arthritis)에서 전통적으로 시행하던 술식으로 현재 사용되고 있는 인공 족관절 치환술이 발달되기 전까지는 gold standard 로 알려져 있었으며 현재에도 심한 족관절의 변형이나 파괴, 족관절 인공 관절의 실패시에 시행되고 있다. 1897년 Albert가 처음으로 족관절 고정술을 소개한 이후로 30여가지가 넘는 방법이 행해지고 있으나 개방적 관절 고정술의 단점인 수술 후 염증, 유합 지연, 연부조직의 손상에 의한 피부 괴사 등을 극복하고 유합물을 높이기 위해 다양한 내고정 및 외고정 장치를 사용하고 있다. 관절경 술식이 발달하면서 Schnider가 1983년 최초로 관절경을 이용한 족관절 고정술을 발표한 이후로 관절경하의 족관절 고정술은 개방적 족관절 고정술 보다 높은 유합율과 적은 수술 합병증으로 인해 관심의 대상이 되었지만 족관절의 변형이 심한 경우에는 시행하기 어려운 단점이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다.

외상성 전방탈구의 경우 일차성 탈구이거나 일상생활에 큰 불편을 호소하지 않는 불안정성이 있을 경우 및 비외상성 다방향 불안정성의 경우 보존적 치료가 바람직하며, 10대 및 20대의 재탈구로 인한 불안정성이 유발될 경우 관절경적 혹은 개방성 Bankart 술식을 통하여 관절순의 해부학적 정복 및 술 후 잘 조절된 재활치료를 시행할 경우, 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 치료 방법의 선택 시 가장 중요한 요소는 환자의 원하는 결과를 만족 시켜줄 수 있는 치료 방법을 선택하는 것이며, 이는 불안정성의 원인, 정도, 탈구의 횟수, 환자의 활동도 및 재활 의지등을 종합적으로 감안하여 결정되어야 한다.

Background: A hybrid procedure using an open surgical extra-anatomic bypass of aortic arch vessels and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is less invasive than open surgery, and provides a suitable proximal landing zone. Here we report our experience with a hybrid TEVAR procedure at a single center. Material and Method: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with thoracic aortic disease who received a hybrid TEVAR procedure between August 2008 and January 2010. Patients' data were prospectively collected and mean follow-up was $10.8{\pm}5.5$ months (range 3~20). Result: Nine patients (7 males and 2 females) with a mean age of $63.8{\pm}15.8$ years (range 38~84) underwent a hybrid procedure. Five patients had an arch or a proximal descending aortic aneurysm, two had a dissecting aneurysm of the descending aorta, and two had an aneurysm of the ascending arch and descending aorta. Mean expected mortality calculated by logistic EuroSCORE was 21%. Six patients underwent debranching and rerouting from ascending aorta to arch vessels, 2 had carotid-carotid bypass grafting, and 1 underwent carotid-axillary bypass grafting. Mean operation time was $221.4{\pm}84.0$ min (range 94~364). Deployment success of endovascular stent grafting was 100% with no endoleak on completion angiography. There was no mortality, and a small embolism in the branch of the right opthalmic artery in one patient. During follow-up, one intervention was required for the endoleak. Actuarial survival at 20 months was 100%. Conclusion: Early and mid-term results are encouraging and suggest that hybrid TEVAR procedures are less invasive and safer and represent an effective technique for treating thoracic aortic disease.

Purpose: We introduce arthroscopic assisted core decompression for humeral head osteonecrosis. Operative technique: After diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy is performed using posterior and anterior portal, we make a 2 cm lateral skin incision approximately 3 cm distal to 1/3 of lateral margin of the acromion and place short gray cannula to prevent adjacent soft tissue injury when insert guide pin. Under C-arm fluoroscopic and arthroscopic guidance, 3 to 4 guide pins are inserted toward the necrotic area. Then we perform drilling using 7.0 mm reamer. Conclusion: We believe this technique is a less invasive approach and avoids the complications comparing to deltopectoral approach. Arthroscopic assisted core decompression is an effective procedure in management of early stage of the humeral head osteonecoris.

Purpose: The bone defects that are associated with shoulder anterior instability may be the causes of failure of arthroscopic surgery. For the treatment of traumatic shoulder instability, we tried to determine the arthroscopic techniques that can be used for the bone defect of the glenoid and the humeral head. The purpose of this study is to assess the surgical techniques for the arthroscopic reconstruction of the shoulder with anterior instability and bone defects. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the articles that have been recently published on anterior shoulder instability and we assessed the arthroscopic surgical techniques. We compared the articles and the methods of arthroscopic surgical techniques for treating bone defects of the anteroinferior glenoid and the posterolateral humeral head, which were considered as the causes of recurrence of shoulder instability. Results: There are the anteroinferior bone defects of the glenoid and Hill-Sachs lesions in the bone defects that appear in patients with anterior shoulder instability. These bone defects are currently the causes of failure of arthroscopic surgery. Conclusion: Open shoulder surgery may be the treatment of the choice for a shoulder with instability and significant bone defects of the glenoid and the humeral head. But efforts are being made to overcome the weaknesses of open surgery by the use of arthroscopy.

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from an invagination of the enamel organ. The incidence is highest with maxillary permanent lateral incisors. The reported occurrence ranges from 0.04 to 10%. This anomaly may involve the pulp and periapical tissues and cause pulpal inflammation, loss of vitality, apical and lateral periodontitis, periapical abscesses and cysts and stimulate internal resorption. Oehlers describes dens invaginatus as occurrence in three forms. In treating type 3 invaginatus, treatment strategy can be determined by considering the complexity and accessibility of invagination. In this case, showing simple invagination, it could be treated by simple endodontic treament confining to invagination without loss of vitality of tooth. After treatment of the present case, the results were as follows: 1. In type 3 dens invagiantus, if the tooth is vital and there is no evidence of communicating between invagination and pulp, we can save the vitality of the tooth and resolve the lesion by endodontic treament confining to the invagination. 2. In the invagination with opened apex, the closure of apex can be induced by apexification procedure doing this, we can avoid the neccessity of surgical intervention.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of arthroscopy in the management of septic coxitis in adults. Materials and Methods : The subjects were 9 patients ranging from 46 to 61 years of age. All patients were diagnosed to have septic coxitis by arthrocentesis and laboratory tests. Operative arthroscopy of the hip has been performed on the patients under supine position. All patients had a follow-up period of more than 12 months by checking ESR and CRP, and by evaluating the function with Harris hip scoring system. Results : The laboratory abnormalities returned to normal level in average of 11.9 days after the surgery. Twelve months after the surgery, all patients showed normal functional hip without any discomfort. Conclusion : Arthroscopic debridement and irrigation technique seem to have more advantages than open drainage in the management of septic coxitis minimizing the morbidity of the hip joint, while it obtains the same results as open technique.
