골의 퇴축 혹은 수술시의 절제로 인해 임플란트를 식립하기엔 불충분한 악골을 가진 환자에 있어서 골 이식술의 필요성은 오랫동안 논의 되어왔다. 골이식술은 악골의 전체 두께(full thickness)결손시 연결성(continuity)의 수복, 혹은 표면(surface)에서의 골상실시 보강(augmentation)목적으로 쓰일 수 있다. 따라서 술자들은 임플란트를 식립하기에 불충분한 악골을 가진 환자에 있어 골 이식술에 권유하게된다. 그러나, 골 이식술은 donor site 의 morbidity혹은 수술에 대한 두려운, 추가되는 비용에 대한 염려등으로 인해 환자에 의해 거부될 때가 종종 있다. 악골 결손으로 인해 골이식없이는 임플란트를 식립하기 어려운 경우에 있어서도 임플란트 술식이 여전히 해결책이 될 수 있을까? 다음의 두가지 증례를 통해 저자등은 골이식술 없이는 임플란트르 식립하기 어려운 경우에 있어서도 임플란트 술식이 여전히 치료방법으로서 의미가 있었음을 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: We compared the time how much time spent until the bone unions, when we grafted fresh frozen allograft during therapy of benign bone tumor depends on the degrees of bony unions. Materials and Methods: This study selected 29 cases, in which a curettage on the benign bone tumors was conducted and a fresh frozen allograft was transplanted. The area of the focus, the new bone formation, the recurrence of the focus and complications in the plain radiographs were observed. Results: The average time when we could find out bony unions in the radiographs is eleven weeks. The time when we could observe the unions in the radiographs are 11.4 weeks in allograft group, 10.7 weeks in allograft and autograft groups and 13.6 weeks in allograft and bone substitute. On radiologic findings, the average lesion size is 40 cm3. The time when we could find bony unions are 9.3 weeks in less than 40 $cm^3$ and 12.9 weeks in more than 40 $cm^3$. We could observe recurrences in two cases. Conclusion: The authors could get the similar results between fresh frozen allograft, allograft and autograft after curettage of benign bone tumor. We can think the ideal method which is the transplantation of autograft, but if we can’t get autograft enough, the best way which heal the defects is the transplantation of fresh frozen allograft.

Simple bone cysts are common, benign bone tumor and for the treatment, curettage with bone grafting, resection and intralesional steroid or autogenic bone marrow injections were usually performed. Simple bone cysts of the calcaneus are relatively uncommon and curettage with autologous bone grafting were proposed for management rather than intralesional steroid injections. We would like to report 9 year-old male with calcaneal simple bone cyst treated satisfactorily by minimally invasive endoscopic curettage and autologous bone grafting with review of the relevant literature.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of bone-patellar tendon-bone(B-PTB) allograft for ACL reconstruction without mechanical tensioning device. Material and Method : Forty-six knees in 43 patients were reviewed and evaluated with subjective evaluation, objective evaluation, Telos stress arthrometer and modified Feagin Scoring System. The average age at the time of operation was 27 years(range, 18-42) and the average follow up period was 41 months(range, 22-79). Authors reconstructed ACL using B-PTB allograft which was prepared by rehydration preoperatively without tensioning by mechanical tensioning device. The tension for allograft was obtained by full flexion and extension intraoperatively. All operation were performed arthroscopically by two-tunnel method to avoid the mismatching of allograft tendon length. Result : The modified Feagin Scoring System revealed 39 cases(84.7%) with excellent or good results and 7 cases(15.3%) with fair or poor results. The mean follow-up Lysholm Knee Score was 84. Telos arthrometer revealed 41 cases had an injured-to-uninjured difference of 5 mm or less(mean 2.3mm). The range of motion of knee was nearly normal and there was no extension lag in any cases at last follow up. Conclusion : Clinical results using B-PTB allograft showed less morbidity than B-PTB autograft. The intraoperative tensioning method by full flexion and extension without mechanical tensioning device was not bad. Therefore, B-PTB allograft is a good substitute material in reconstruction of the ACL.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if bony union can be obtained when a bone graft substitute is transplanted in order to treat a benign bone tumor and if there is a difference between calcium sulfate and hydroxyapatite in the healing procedure when the degree of the bony union after the bone graft are compared. Materials and Methods: This study selected 20 cases, in which a curettage on the benign bone tumors was conducted and a bone graft substitute was transplanted. The area of the focus, the new bone formation, the recurrence of the focus in the plain radiographs and histological findings were observed. Results: Twenty cases (13 males, 7 females) were evaluated. Their mean age at surgery was 15.8 years (2~45), and the mean follow-up period was 3 years. The mean area of focus was 30.7 $cm^3$ in the radiographs, and 19 cases showed successful results in the ultimate visit, while 1 case has a recurrence of the focus. Conclusion: Calcium sulfate has osteoconduction and superior bioavailability, and is absorbed in vivo in proportion to the new bone formation. On the other hand, hydroxyapatite has good osteoconduction. It can result in better bone formation when it is combined with an autologous bone graft, autologous bone marrow, and an allogenic bone graft, but is absorbed in vivo more slowly than the former.

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament tears is increasing as a result of the increasing participation of individuals of all ages in high-risk sports. Endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autogenous central third bone-patellar tendon-bone graft is the most commonly used method. With regard to BPTB graft as the go]d standard in ACL reconstruction, there are no data that refute this claim to date. Author reviewed the biomechanical properties, donor site morbidity and selection of the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and described the surgical technique of endoscopic ACL reconstruction using BPTB autograft.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effi ciency of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for acceleration of bone healing process on allograft transplantation after curettage in benign bone tumor. Materials and Methods: From December 2007 to February 2009, twenty-one patients who had benign bone tumor and underwent allograft transplantation after curettage were evaluated. Mean follow-up period was 14.6 months (range, 12-26 months). We compared with 13 cases of PRP group and 8 cases of non-PRP group in terms of size of lesion, bone resorption, amount of applied PRP and complications. The mean age at surgery was 23.6 years (range, 4-73 years). The most common diagnosis was simple bone cyst (7) followed by enchondroma (4), giant cell tumor (3), undifferentiated benign bone tumor (3) and so on. Results: The mean size of lesion was 33.5 $cm^3$ (range, 2.3-181.9 $cm^3$) (29.4 $cm^3$ in PRP group and 40.2 $cm^3$ in non-PRP group). The mean volume of injected PRP was 7.4 cc (range, 3-12 cc). Bone union started at 3.0 months (range, 1.5-5.8 months) in PRP group and 5.3 months (range, 4-8 months) in non-PRP group. Three cases for each group were excluded due to recurrence and pathologic fracture. One patient had febrile episode 3 weeks later after surgery which subsided with antibiotics. Conclusion: The PRP could accelerate bone union in allograft transplantation after curettage of benign bone tumor. Furthermore, we expect that PRP can accelerate bone union in fracture or non-union.

Purpose: To determine the usefulness of limb salvage operation with recycled autogenous bone graft in musculoskeletal malignant tumors. Materials and Methods: Twenty nine cases, who underwent limb salvage operation with recycled autogenous bone graft for the treatment of musculoskeletal malignant tumor between February 1990 and January 2003, were included. There were 18 males and 11 females and the mean age was 33 years (range, 10 to 65 years). The mean follow-up period was 51.8 months (range, 18 to 117 months). The Enneking stage was IIA in 10 cases and IIB in 19 cases. The recycling method of autogenous bone was deep freezing in 6 cases, autoclaving in 11 cases, pasteurization in 7 cases and the composite of autoclaving and vascularized fibular graft in 5 cases. The union of junctional site was evaluated radiologically and the functional results was analyzed by the grading systems of the International Symposium On Limb Salvages (ISOLS). Results: The mean union time was 7.2 months (range, 3 to 15 months). The union took 5.8 months (range, 4 to 8 months) in deep freezing, 9.7 months (range, 6 to 15 months) in autoclaving, 5.9 months (range, 4 to 8 months) in pasteurization, and 5 months (range, 4 to 8 months) in the composite of autoclaving and vascularized fibular graft. The mean functional evaluation percentage was 76.8% (range, 40 to 90%). It was 65.8% (range, 40 to 85%) in deep freezing, 76.6% (range, 40 to 90%) in autoclaving, 81.6% (range, 70 to 90%) in pasteurization, and 83.4% (range, 75 to 90%) in the composite of autoclaving and vascularized fibular graft. There were 6 cases of complications including 1 case of local recurrence, lung metastasis, infection, fracture, respectively and 2 cases of nonunion. Conclusion: The limb salvage operation with recycled autogenous bone graft is a useful treatment method for the musculoskeletal malignant tumors. Particularly, autoclaving is the most reliable sterilization method. The vascularized fibular graft can compensate decreased osteoinductivity and mechanical strength of recycled bone. So, the composite of autoclaving and vascularized bone graft seems to be a favorable treatment method for high grade malignant musculoskeletal tumors.
