Purpose : To evaluate tile clinical results of resorbable meniscal arrow fixation for repairable meniscal tear with concurrent anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction. Materials and Methods : Between April, 1997 and June, 1999, we performed resorbable meniscal arrow fixation and ACL reconstruction simultaneously for 18 cases of repairable meniscal tears with ACL injuries. Nine cases were acute injuries, 5 cases, subacute and 4 cases, chronic. The average follow-up was 21.5 months($12\~38$ months). Results : The healing rate was $89\%$ for acute injuries, $80\%$ for subacute injuries and $50\%$ for chronic injuries. Conclusion : Resorbable meniscal arrow fixation with concurrent ACL reconstruction is a good treatment modality for acute and subacute injuries.

목적: 자가 골-슬개건-골과 슬괵건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건술의 5년 중기 추시 결과를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행한 후 5년 이상 추시 관찰이 가능한 65예를 대상으로 하였고, 골-슬개건-골이 38예, 슬괵건이 27예였다. 술 후 평가는 Lysholm 점수, 관절 운동 범위, 대퇴부 중간 부위 둘레 길이, Lachman 검사, 축 이동 검사, KT 2000 관절 계측기를 시행하였고, 술 후 합병증을 평가하였다. 결과: Lysholm 점수는 골-슬개건-골군과 슬괵건국에서 각각 평균 91점, 94.2점으로 슬괵건군이 우수하였고, 대퇴부 중간 부위 둘레 길이는 건측에 비해 각각 평균 1.7cm, 1.3cm의 차이를 보였다. 양 군간에 관절 운동 범위, Lachman 검사, 축 이동 검사 및 KT 2000 관절 계측 결과는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 술 후 합병증은 과도한 보행이나 운동 후 슬관절 동통이 골-슬개건-골군에서 7예, 슬괵건 군에서 4예 관찰되었고, 전방 슬관절 동통이 골-슬개건-골군에서 4예 관찰되어, 골-슬개건-골군에서 더 많이 발생하였다. 결론: 5년 중기 추시에서 자가 슬괵건군이 우수한 슬관절 기능, 적은 합병증 등 임상적으로 우수하였으나 장기 추시가 요할 것으로 사료된다.

It is reported that approximately 100,000 anteior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are performed in the United States each year. Recurrent instability because of graft failure is estimated to occur in from 0.7$\%$ to 8$\%$ of reconstruction. Recently revision ACL reconstruction is likely to become more common as the number of primary reconstructions continues to increase. Arthroscopic revision ACL surgery with adequate graft for failed ACL reconstruction was successful in objectively and subjectively improving stability. However, considering the most common causes of failure after ACL reconstruction were errors in surgical technique, it is important that the primary ACL reconstruction should be performed with correct surgical technique. Therefore author reviewed the causes of failure of reconstruction to prevent the failure of reconstruction and described the surgical technique of revision ACL reconstruction.

Pretibial cyst formation is a rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and there are only few cases reported. Pretibial cyst can be caused by variable reasons. Foreign body reaction due to breakdown of bio-absorbable screw for fixation, graft necrosis at tibial site, joint fluid leakage to tunnel and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel. The authors experienced one case of massive pretibial cyst after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using bio-absorbable interference screw in 38-year-old male patient. Thus, authors report this rare case with literature view.

In this paper, we propose a fast block-matching motion estimation method using the cross pattern and the hexagonal pattern. For the block-matching motion estimation method, full search finds the best motion estimation, but it requires huge search time because it has to check every search point within the search window. The proposed method makes use of the fact that most of motion vectors lie near the center of block. The proposed method first uses the cross pattern to search near the center of block, and then uses the hexagonal pattern to search larger motion vectors. Experimental results show that our method is better than recently proposed search algorithms in terms of mean-square error performance and required search time.

Reports of localized giant cell tumor arising from the posterior cruciate ligament are rare, and its recurrence rate after incomplete excision. We experienced a case of localized giant cell tumor arising from the posterior cruciate ligament that were excised arthroscopically with transseptal approach and pathologically confirmed. The patient showed good clinical result for one year after operation. So we report a case with a review of the literatures.

An inappropriate insertion of a interference device to fix the graft in the tibial tuunel can cause potential complications. We describe a case of 27-year-old man who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using IntraFix device(DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA). In this report we present a case of migration of IntraFix sheath by inappropriate insertion of IntraFix screw along with a review of the current literature.

Pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a very rare complication, and a few are reported in and outside the country. Some authors report that it may break out with a variety of causes at any time. We experienced a case of pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft and bioabsorbable interference screw in 34-year-old male. So we report this case including the cause and the treatment with a review of the literature.

The prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is continuously increased due to sports activities and traffic accident. Simultaneously ACL reconstruction operations are on the increase. Several kinds of autografts and allografts are used in ACL reconstruction. Although ACL reconstruction using an autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone graft is the good standard, it might have potential morbidity, anterior knee pain and minimal extension loss. To minimize the complications and disadvantages on each graft and to select appropriate graft for each patient, it is necessary to understand the unique characteristics of each graft for biomechanical aspect, morbidity and disadvantage. Selecting the appropriate graft depends on numerous factors including surgeon's preference and experience, patient's activity level and age, extent of ligament injury, tissue availability, and patient's selection for graft .

This article provides an overview of the current concepts regarding anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, including anatomy, biomechanics, operative techniques and clinical results. Many techniques have been introduced for ACL reconstruction: single bundle reconstruction, remnant preserving augmentation, and double bundle reconstruction. Each technique has its strong and weak points, and it is not sure which technique is superior than others. It is considered to suggest that rather than to select the same method of surgery in all patients, select the method of reconstruction depending on the characteristics of the individual patient, the state of the residual ligaments and extent of the damage.
