옥천변성대 서남부지역은 변성이질암의 광물조합을 기준으로 남동부부터 북서방향으로 흑운모대, 석류석대, 십자석대의 3개의 변성광물분대로 나누어진다. Oh et al. (1995a)의 연구에서 보고된 남정석들은 산출되지 않는 것이 확인되었고 변성도는 흑운모대에서 석류석대를 거쳐 십자석대로 갈수록 증가한다. 쥬라기 화강암 접촉부의 국부적인 변성암류에서는 화강암에 의한 접촉변성작용에 의해 형성된 홍주석과 규선석이 산출된다. 흑운모대의 변성 압력-온도는 4.2 - 5.1 kb, 400 - 500 $^{\circ}C$이다. 십자석대의 정누대구조를 가지는 석류석과 석류석안의 사장석, 흑운모, 금흥석, 일메나이트포유광물의 공생관계로 추정한 압력-온도 (석류석 주변부: 7.0 - 8.0 kb, 550 - 620 $^{\circ}C$； 석류석 중심부: 4.0 - 5.0 kb, 420 - 520 $^{\circ}C$) 및 십자석대 내에서 후퇴변성작용 및 접촉변성작용 받은 석류석 주변부에 기록된 압력-온도 조건(약 2.0 - 3.0kb, 450 - 55$0^{\circ}C$)과 함께 옥천변성대 서남부지역의 변성암류가 시계방향의 압력-온도 경로를 겪었음을 지시한다. 연구지역 내에서 정밀 기재된 단면들에 대한 퇴적환경을 종합하면 대체 적으로 남동부에서는 천해성 환경이 인지되나 북서쪽으로 갈수록 대륙사면을 거쳐 분지 중심의 환경으로 전이되는 경향을 보인다. 이러한 퇴적상의 공간적 분포는 분지의 남동쪽보다 북서쪽의 침강이 우세하였던 것으로 해석될 수 있으며, 이는 곧 분지가 형성될 때 반지구대 (half graben) 형태로 분지가 열개 (rifting) 되었음을 의미한다. 각 변성분대에서 채취한 변성이질암으로부터 측정된 K-Ar 과 40Ar/39Ar 흑운모와 백운모 연대들은 149 - 167 Ma에 집중된다. 그리고 각 변성분대에서 동일시료에 대한 K-Ar 과 40Ar/39Ar 연대들은 동일시기를 지시함으로 연대적인 신뢰성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 옥천변성대 서남부지역의 변성암류를 관입하는 2개의 괴상의 화강암과 1개의 엽리화강암에서 얻어진 백운모와 흑운모들의 K-Ar 연대는 모두 156 Ma이며 옥천변성대 서남부지역의 변성이 질암의 연대와 유사하다. 이는 연구지역의 변성암류와 화강암류는 40Ar/39Ar 과 K-Ar 계의 흑운모와 백운모의 폐쇄온도 (약 300 - 350 $^{\circ}C$) 까지 동시에 냉각된 사실을 지시한다. 각섬석 편암내의 각섬석들은 복잡한 40Ar/39Ar 연대를 보여주며 일부가 평형연대를 보여주지만 특별한 의미 부여가 힘들다.

The authors report one case of isolated avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament. A 13 years old boy was admitted for right knee pain and swelling after the soccer injury on his knee. Hemarthrosis and posterior instability were present. Simple roentgenographic examination showed an isolated avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament. Open approach through the popliteal fossa was used and bony fragment was fixed into its bed using pull-out sutures. Postoperatively, a long leg cast was applied for 4 weeks. The patient was followed for 6 months. He returned to his previous activity levels. There was no residual laxity. Isolated avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament from the tibia before the epiphyseal fusion is very rare in children. We reported one case of our experience and its result.

The lateral meniscus is morphologically more variable than the medial meniscus. An abnormal lateral meniscus also varies with respect to its size, shape and stability, and such variations can occur in any patient of any age. The most common variant is a discoid lateral meniscus. We recently encountered a patient with a discoid lateral meniscus for which the anterior horn of the meniscus was anomalously inserted into the anterior ACL. The patient was forty five years old women who had persistent pain for three to four years without any specific trauma history. She was preoperatively diagnosed as having discoid lateral meniscus by MRI, and was confirmed the presence of the complex tear and anomalous insertion of the anterior horn of the discoid lateral meniscus into the anterior ACL by arthroscopic examination. Arthroscopic subtotal meniscectomy was performed and the symptoms were improved after surgery.

Background: We analyze the functional evaluation, posterior stability after surgery of acute injuries in the femoral detachment and tibial avulsion fracture of posterior cruciate ligament. Materials and Methods: Twenty two patients who underwent primary repair were followed more than one year after operation (mean follow-up 33.7 months). The patients were evaluated with KT 2000 arthrometer and posterior stress test for posterior stability. Lysholm knee score was used for knee function. Results: Lysholm score revealed 85.3 in femoral detachment group and 91.1 in tibial avulsion fracture group (P<0.05). Posterior displacement of the posterior stress test showed 17.2 mm at initial injury and 8.6 mm at last follow up in femoral detachment group, 16.8 mm at initial injury and 7.1 mm at last follow up in tibial avulsion fracture group. There revealed the tendency of the improved posterior stability of the tibial avulsion group compared with femoral detachment group, but there showed no statistical significance in KT 2000 arthrometer and posterior stress x-ray. Conclusion: Functional results of tibial avulsion fracture group revealed the better outcome compared with femoral detachment group, but the degree of posterior stability in tibial avulsion fracture group showed no statistical significance in posterior stability.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a successful procedure independently by patient selection, timing of surgery, surgical technique, choice of graft, and fixation methods. Among these factors, graft selection and fixation methods might be the most critical yet controversial questions for surgeons. Although recent studies showed that grafts have advantages and drawbacks, there is still no ideal graft. Similarly, many fixation methods of femoral and tibial tunnels have been proposed over the last few decades, with no clear superiority of one technique over another. Surgeons should be familiar with a variety of grafts, fixation techniques, and their specific associated surgical procedures as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. Therefore, this article summarizes the current literature and discusses the current state of graft selection and fixation methods in the treatment of an ACL injury.

The most recent concept in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is an anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. For an anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the tibial tunnel is made anterior than before, and the femoral tunnel is made in a lower and oblique direction compared to the classical method using the transtibial technique. The anteromedial portal technique, outside-in technique, and modified transtibial technique have been performed to produce femoral tunnels with anatomical positions. Each method has different advantages and disadvantages and is chosen based on the operator's preferences, experience, instruments, and implants.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of knee brace on anterior cruciate ligament injuries risk factors during one-legged landing of female gymnasts. Eleven female gymnasts were recruited and performed randomly one-legged drop landing in height of her's knee with (3times) and without (3times) knee brace. Kinematics and ground reaction data were collected to estimate the anterior cruciate ligament injuries risk factors. Data were analyzed with paired samples t-test. Female gymnasts with knee brace showed more reduced the distance from ankle joint center to knee joint center in sagittal plane and knee maximum joint torque than without knee brace. In conclusion, Female gymnasts with knee brace reduced anterior cruciate ligament stress.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce the double bundle posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) reconstruction using Achilles allograft by the tibial inlay method and evaluate the clinical results of 11 cases who had PCL reconstruction using this method and were followed for more than 2 years after surgery. Materials and Methods: Our series consists of 11 cases of PCL reconstruction due to chronic posterior instability of knee and acute PCL rupture. The clinical results were assessed using the IKDC(International Knee Documentation Committee) scoring system, posterior stress radiographs and the maximum posterior displacement using a KT-1000TM arthrometer. Results: The average preoperative posterior displacement in 90 degree flexion stress radiograph was measured 13.4 mm and in 10 degree flexion the average posterior displacement using the KT-1000TM arthrometer was measured 11.4 mm. Postoperatively the 13.4 mm reduced to 4.4 mm and the 11.4 mm reduced to 3.9 mm. According to IKDC scoring system, 9 cases(81.8%) were satisfied. One case showed limitation of flexion with mild stiffness in the knee and another one case was not improved the posterior instability sufficiently and no complication of allograft was noticed. Conclusion: The double bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles allograft by the tibial inlay method is a useful method for acute PCL rupture and chronic posterior instability of the knee including failed PCL reconstruction, because it will also make the posterior stability in the extension and 90 degree flexion position, and avoid the grafted tendon abrasion by acute turn of tibial tunnel.

Nine dogs presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Konkuk University and Woosung Animal Hospital with a history of pelvic limb lameness. On physical examination, 9 dogs all showed a consistent weight bearing lameness and mild muscle atrophy. There was cranial drawer sign with pain in 9 dogs. Mediolateral radiographic projection revealed cranial subluxation of the tibial tuberosity in a tibial compression view. The right and left stifle joints were affected in 7 dogs and 2 dogs respectively. TightRope cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) technique for treatment of CCL deficiency was performed. Polyester and nylon were used to stabilize the stifle in 3 dogs and 6 dogs respectively. Suture sizes were 0.8 mm (n = 2), 0.9 mm (n = 4), 1.1 mm (n = 2), and $1.1mm{\times}2$ strands (n = 1) in diameter. Mean (${\pm}SD$) surgical duration was $48.3{\pm}8.5$ minutes (range 35 to 60 minutes). Preoperative and postoperative mean (${\pm}SD$) cranial drawer signs were $8.6{\pm}1.6$ mm (rage 7 to 12 mm) and $1.2{\pm}1.0$ mm (rage 0 to 3 mm) respectively. Immediate postoperative radiographs of the affected limb revealed no evidence of cranial subluxation of the tibial tuberosity in a tibial compression view of 9 dogs. Normal limb function was regained in 8 dogs within 8 weeks postoperatively. A consistent weight bearing lameness resolved in all dogs after TightRope CCL technique, but reoccurred in one dog (case No. 6) 2 weeks after surgery. Cranial subluxation of the tibial tuberosity was identified in a tibial compression test. During the second surgery, breakage of surgical button was identified and a tibial wedge osteotomy was performed. Based on surgical time, complication, stifle stability, and functional recovery, the present study indicated that TightRope CCL technique is effective treatment for the dogs with CCL deficiency.

The generation of staurolite from the mixed-phase muscovite and the metamorphic environment of shales in the Baekunsa formation, Hongsan, Buyeo, were studied using electron probe micro analysis (EPMA). The average chemical composition of mica-type mineral is $(K_{1.11}Na_{0.26}Ca_{0.04})(Al_{3.93}Fe_{0.21}Mg_{0.07})(Si_{6.08}Al_{1.92})O_{20}(OH)_4$, and shows a characteristics of the so-called illite with a low content of interlayer cations and Fe, Mg in octahedral sites. The mica-type mineral shows a typical chemical composition of the mixed-phase among muscovite, pyrophyllite, and chlorite (mixed-phase muscovite, $Mu_{70.5}Py_{23.5}Ch_{6.0}$). The staurolite, in general, occurs with the mixed-phase muscovites, pyrophyllites, and aluminosilicates in the rock. We consider that staurolite can be formed by a reaction involving pyrophyllite such as pyrophyllite+chloritoid. The chloritoid is formed by a reaction between pyrophyllite and chlorite and is supposed to be used up in the process of staurolite formation. As a result, the mixed-phase muscovite, formed during the transition of illite to muscovite, plays an important role for the generation of the staurolite. Considering that the reaction occurs at the temperature higher than $300^{\circ}C$ and pyrophyllites transform into aluminosilicates at $350^{\circ}C$, the shale in the Baekunsa formation can be considered to have been experienced a metamorphic temperature between $300{\sim}350^{\circ}C$.
