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.

관절와 및 상완골의 의미 있는 골결손을 동반한 불안정한 견관절에 대해 어떻게 최선의 치료를 할 것인가에 대한 의문은 남아있다. 어떤 저자들은 외회전과 외전을 제한하는 것으로 Hill-Sachs 병변의 진입을 예방하는 일종의 관혈적 관절낭 변위를 통한 제한된 상완와관절 운동을 주장해왔으며, 다른 관혈적 시술들은 극하근건과 관절낭을 Hill-Sachs 병변 내로 관혈적 전이시키는 것으로 기술되어왔다. 최근에는 여러 저자들에 의해 Hill-Sachs 병변의 진입을 치료하는 더 새로운 접근법들이 기술되었으며, Bankart 병변 복원술에 더하여 Hill-Sachs 병변을 채우기 위해 관절경 하 후방 관절낭 고정술과 극하근건 고정술로 이루어진 이른바 'Remplissage'술기가 소개된 바 있어, 이에 저자는 외상성 견관절 불안정성으로 관절경 하 Bankart 병변 복원술 및 관절낭 축화술 시행 후 외상으로 재발된 견관절 불안정성이 발생하여 관절경 하 Bankart 병변 복원술과 함께'Remplissage'술기를 이용한 Hill-Sachs 병변 복원술을 시행한 예를 보고하는 바이다.

An 11 year-old intact female Yorkshire Terrier weighing 3.5 kg was presented with the complain of having a perineal mass, fecal incontinence and tenesmus. Physical examination revealed reducible bilateral ventral perineal mass, enlarged mammary gland and vaginal discharge. Bilateral ventral perineal hernia (BVPH) and pyometra were diagnosed based on the clinical and radiographic findings. Ovariohysterectomy was performed after general anaesthesia to treat pyometra. The BVPH was repaired by herniorrhaphy with semitendinosus muscle transposition along with colopexy and cystopexy. The postoperative radiographs and CT revealed a good correction of the BVPH. The patient showed good activity after 10 days and no complications were observed during a one year follow up period. BVPH can be successfully surgically managed by herniorrhaphy with semitendinosus muscle transposition along with cystopexy and colopexy in the dog.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of two surgical treatments, transacromial pin fixation and hook plate fixation, for unstable distal clavicle fractures. Materials and Methods: Twenty four patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fractures who underwent surgery with transacromial pin fixation (Group I: 12 patients) and hook plate fixation (Group II: 12 patients) were included. Reduction and union were evaluated using plain radiographs. Functional evaluation was performed according to UCLA score and Constant-Murley score at last follow-up. Results: All 24 cases showed bone union. Complete union took an average of 10 weeks for group I and 11.7 weeks for group II. Average UCLA score was 33 (group I) and 32.8 (group II). Average Constant score was 88.5 (group I) and 88.8 (group II). No significant difference for each variable was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: For the surgical treatment of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures, transacromial pin fixation and hook plate fixation are both useful methods.

전체 성대 마비 환자의 약 10%에서 발생하는 것으로 알려진 양측 성대 마비는 안정 혹은 경미한 운동시에도 호흡 장애를 초래하는 경우라면 이에 대한 치료가 요구되는 질환이다. 이에 대한 치료 방법으로는 성문 기도를 넓히면서 흡인이 되지 않고 음성장애를 일으키지 않는데 목적을 두고 피열연골 고정술, 피열연골 절제술, CO2, 레저 피열연골 절제술, 성대 측방 고정술, 후성대 절제술, 점막하 성대 절제술, 근-신경식술 등 다양한 방법이 사용되어져 왔다. (중략)

Purpose: This study compared the functional and radiologic outcomes of intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for tibia fractures in distal tibial spiral fractures combined with posterior malleolar fractures, as well as the functional and radiologic outcomes with and without fixation for posterior malleolar fractures. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to December 2018 the radiological and clinical outcomes of 30 skeletally mature patients with tibial spiral fractures (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification 42-A1, B1, C1) combined with posterior malleolar fractures were analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated with IMN, and 14 patients were treated with MIPO. Depending on the surgical methods, the radiologic and clinical outcomes were compared by evaluating the bone union time, postoperative alignment, postoperative displacement of the posterior malleolar fragment, and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Moreover, the functional and clinical outcomes with and without fixation for posterior malleolar fractures were compared. Results: The mean bone union time was 21.8 weeks in the IMN group and 23.1 weeks in the MIPO group (p=0.500). At the final follow up, the mean alignment was coronal angulation of 1.8°, sagittal angulation of 1.6° in the IMN group and coronal angulation of 1.2° and sagittal angulation of 1.7° in the MIPO group (conoral angulation: p=0.131, sagittal angulation: p=0.850). The postoperative and final radiologic evaluation showed no displacement of the posterior malleolar fragment and excellent joint congruity in all cases. At the final follow-up, the mean AOFAS score was 88.0 on average in the IMN group and 87.6 on average in the MIPO group (p=0.905). The ankle range of motion and AOFAS score were similar in the fixation group and no fixation group for posterior malleolar fractures. Conclusion: Both IMN and MIPO for tibial spiral fractures combined with posterior malleolar fractures result in satisfactory radiological and clinical outcomes.

Purpose: Several authors have reported excellent results of delayed reconstruction of non-union & malunion in displaced mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle and these results were equal to that of immediate fixation. But direct comparison between these treatments is rare. We evaluated the results between the immediate fixation group and delayed reconstruction group for treating displaced mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle. Materials and Methods: We studied the results of 18 cases with immediate fixation of displaced mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle and 15 cases with delayed reconstruction of non-union & malunion after conservative management, and these cases were seen from March 2000 to February, 2006. The final postoperative outcome was analyzed according to the clinical outcomes with using the Constant score and the radiological findings of bony union. Results: The constant score was low in the delayed reconstruction group compare to that of the immediate fixation group (p value=0.045). For the pain score & the activities of daily living score, a statistically significant difference was seen between the two groups (p<0.05), but not for the range of motion score & the power score (p>0.05). Radiological findings of bony union were seen for both groups at an average of 8.8 weeks for the immediate fixation group and at an average of 9.8 weeks for the delayed reconstruction group. Conclusion: Though the delayed reconstruction group was shown good clinical and radiological results, the immediate fixation group had a significantly better pain score, a better activities of daily living score and a better Constant score. It is important to choose the initial treatment option for displaced mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle after sufficient explanation to patients about the merits and demerits between these two treatment options.

Arthrodesis is one of the last options available to obtain a stable, painless knee in patients who are unable to undergo reconstructive surgery due to a damaged knee joint. A variety of techniques have been used, including external fixation, internal fixation by compression plates, intramedullary fixation through the knee with a modular nail, and antegrade nailing through the piriformis fossa. Another option is the use of a short nail such as the Neff nail, the Wichita nail, or the Huckstep nail, but there are no commercial short nails available for use in Korea. This technical report describes a technique for knee arthrodesis using a retrograde femoral intramedullary nail.

This study investigated the prognosis of luxation injuries in primary teeth treated with splinting. This study retrospectively analyzed 92 children with luxation injuries to their primary teeth who were treated with splints between 2010 and 2015. Prognoses were analyzed in patients who had been followed for more than 6 months. The prognoses with splinting were based on clinical and radiographic evaluations performed during the follow-up examinations. The mean patient age was 42.1 months, and 67.4% were male. The most common cause of luxation injury was falling, and the mean splint duration was 2.4 weeks. The success rate of splinting was 58.9%. The highest rate of success was achieved following subluxation, while repositioning and splinting of lateral luxation had the lowest rate of success. Pulp necrosis was the most common unfavorable prognosis in the luxation injuries. Depending upon the type of luxation, splint therapy had acceptable prognoses and might be a feasible treatment option.
