Purpose: To analyze the clinical and radiological results of the operative treatment in the avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal. Materials and Methods: We studied retrospectively, 11 patients of avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal operated and followed over 1 year, from February 2000 to May 2002. There were eight men and three women and the average age was 39 years old. The mean follow up period was 14 months. Ten cases were slip-down and one case was fall from a height injuries. We used the modified Foot Score by Wiener for the clinical evaluation, and analyzed the time of union and state of reduction radiologically. Results: In clinical results, we had ten excellent and one good cases by the modified Foot Score at last follow-up. In radiologic results, the complete bony union was achieved in all cases and the duration of the bony union was 37 days in average. Conclusion: We had good result for the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal treated by the operation. This study shows the operation was recommended for the moderate and severe displacement of the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal.

Recently, a variety of arthroscopic techniques have been reported for the treatment of the displaced tibial eminence fracture. The purpose of this study was to describe details of arthroscopic technique using pull-out wire and to evaluate the results. Eleven patients with irreducible type II and type III tibial eminence fractures underwent the arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using double strand pull-out wiring. The anterior cruciate ligament tibial drill guide was utilized for the reduction of fracture and passage of the guide pins. The tibial eminence fracture was firmly fixed with double strand 26-gauge pull-out wire(0.45mm diameter). Fracture union was achieved at 7.2 weeks (range, six to eight weeks) after operation. All cases were united at the last follow-up. Subjectively, nine patients had no pain and no restriction of daily activities. Two patients with combined injuries had limitation of knee motion(10 to 130 degrees, respectively) and one patient showed mild anterior laxity. Early rehabilitation was enabled without loss of reduction and breakage of pull-out wire. The arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using pull-out wire showed good results including early rehabilitation, early fracture union, minimal morbidity, and no requirement of the second operation for hard ware removal.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Korean medical treatment, specifically Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection and Danggwisu-powder, on a patient suffering from a lateral malleolus avulsion fracture. Methods : A 63-year-old female patient suffering from right ankle pain due to lateral malleolus avulsion fracture was treated with Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection, and herbal medicine(Danggwisu-powder). from May 20th to June $16^{th}$ of 2015. The change in patientcondition was measured with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, the verbal numerical rating scale, and via the ankle's range of motion. Results : After treatment, all obtained results showed improvement. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale increased from 18 to 71, the verbal numerical rating scale changed from 8 to 3, and the ankle's range of motion improved. Conclusions : This study suggests that Korean medical care focused on Homnis Placenta pharmacopuncture, bee venom injection and Danggwisu-powder can be effective to treat lateral malleolus avulsion fracture.

대퇴직근은 슬관절을 신전하고 고관절을 굴곡하는 근육이며, 빠르고 강한 수축을 하는 제 2형 근섬유로 이루어져 있으며 두개의 관절을 거치므로, 운동 경기 중에 근위부 대퇴직근의 손상이 흔히 발생할 수 있다. 소아에서 발생하는 전하장골극에서의 대퇴직근 견열 골절이 가끔 보고가 되고 있고, 성인에서의 대퇴직근 근위부의 근-건 결합부 완전 파열은 반복적인 운동에 의해 드물게 발생하며, 외상과 관련이 없는 경우 대퇴부에서의 연부조직 종양으로 오인될 수 있다. 그러나, 릴레이 경주 중에 대퇴직근 근위부의 기시부가 급성으로 완전 파열된 예는 아직까지 보고된 바가 없다. 이에 저자들은 릴레이 경주 중에 발생한 중년 남성의 대퇴직근 기시부의 급성 완전 파열에 대하여 자기공명영상을 통하여 확인한 후 수술적 치료를 시행하였으며, 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
