배경: 이 연구는 외상성 기관-기관지 손상의 특징적인 임상 증상 및 영상학적 소견 등에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 1월부터 2009년 12월까지 본원 응급실을 통해서 내원한 외상 환자들 중에서 수술을 통해서 외상성 기관-기관지 손상으로 진단된 6명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 외상의 종류, 동반된 손상, 진단 방법 및 수술까지 걸린 시간, 수술 소견 및 수술 방법, 예후 등에 대해서 조사해 보고 후향적으로 진단에 중요한 인자 등을 알아 보았다. 결과: 손상의 원인으로는 교통사고가 1명, 낙상 및 흉부에 강한 압박을 받은 경우가 5명이었다. 주 증상으로 피하기종, 호흡 곤란, 통증 등이 있었으며 영상소견으로는 기흉, 종격동 기종, 혈흉, 늑골 골절, 폐좌상 등이 있었다. 기관지 내시경을 시행하지 않은 상태에서 2명에서는 흉부 CT 소견에서 기관-기관지 손상이 의심되었지만 나머지 4명에서는 의심하지 못했다. 수상 부위는 기관부위가 2예, 기관지가 4예 있었다. 수술은 개흉술을 통한 일차 문합을 시행하였고 수술 후 사망과 문합 부위 유출은 없었으며 1명에서 술 후 성대 마비가 있었다. 진단에 도움이 되는 특징적인 소견으로는 흉관 삽입 후 음압의 적용에도 불구하고 지속적인 심한 폐 허탈이 가장 중요한 소견이었으며, 흉부 CT에서의 기관-기관지의 주행 경로의 단절이 진단에 중요하였다. 결론: 외상성 기관-기관지 손상은 의심하지 않으면 진단이 쉽지 않으나, 특징적인 흉관 삽입 후의 임상 증상과 영상 소견은 진단에 큰 도움을 주었다.

둔상에 의한 쇄골하 동맥 가성동맥류의 발생은 드물며, 관통상 이후에 이차적으로 발생하는 경우가 있다. 대게 쇄골하 동맥은 주변의 인대, 근막뿐만 아니라 쇄골, 첫 번째 갈비뼈, 심부 경부 조직들에 의해 보호받고 있어 둔상으로 의한 합병증으로 쇄골하 동맥의 손상이 발생하는 경우는 드물다. 쇄골하 동맥의 손상은 외상 초기에 나타나며, 동맥 파열은 생명을 위협할 수 있는 출혈, 가성동맥류 형성, 상완신경총 압박 등을 유발할 수 있다. 쇄골하 동맥 손상은 쇄골골절, 총상, 관통상이나 중심정맥삽관 같은 술기의 합병증으로 발생하는 것이 대부분이다. 쇄골 주변의 큰 혈종이나 맥박이 느껴지는 종괴가 있다면 심각한 혈관 손상 가능성이 높아지므로 이러한 소견이 있는지 이학적 검사를 통해 확인해야만 한다. 1993년에 외상성 혈관손상의 치료에 있어 혈관 내 스텐트 삽입 시술이 처음 발표된 이후 혈관내 스텐트 삽입 시술을 통해 외상성 혈관 손상을 치료하는 사례가 점차적으로 많아지고 있다. 이 연구는 교통사고 10일 후에 발생한 쇄골하 동맥 가성동맥류 환자에서 혈관내 스텐트 삽입을 통한 성공적 치료와 관련된 임상양상과 추정되는 병태생리에 대해 보고한 사례연구이다.

Objective : The study was performed to evaluate the effect of treatment for thoracolumbar compression fracture by using Bee Venom Acupuncture that is well known for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Methods : We investigated 39 cases of patient with thoracolumbar compression fracture. The patients with thoracolumbar compression fracture were treated at the department of acupuncture & moxibustion of Kyung-Won University Oriental Hospital from 1st January 2001 to 30th August 2002. We selected for two groups. One group was treated by Bee Venom Acupuncture therapy(Bee Venom Acupuncture Group : BAG), the other group was treated by Filiform Acupuncture therapy(None Bee Venom Acupuncture Group : NBAG). Results : 1. The distribution showed female predominance in sex and 70's predominance in age. The largest group was "accidental fall" and the next was "lifting heavy objects" in causes, and within 2 weeks in the duration of disease 2. In the duration of admission, the largest group was within 4 weeks. In regard to level of injury, T12 was found to be most predominant, followed in turn by L1, L2, L5. In regard to grade of clinical symptoms, Grade III was most predominant, followed by Grade II, Grade IV. 3. In the results of treatment, 87.5% were above "Good" in BAG and 47.8% in NBAG. 4. In the result of treatment due to the grade of clinical symptoms, BAG was more excellent than NBAG on the whols grade. 5. In the result of treatment due to duration of admission, the duration of admission was not in proportion to the results of treatment. 6. In the change of lumber flexion, the improvement above $80^{\circ}$ was 50% in BAG and 21.7% in NBAG 7. In the stability of treatment, the BAG and NBAG did't show any detrimental change in GOT, GPT, r-GTP, BUN, creatinine. Conclusions : In the treatment of thoracolumbar compression fracture, the Bee Venom Acupuncture can be regarded as more effective treatment than Filiform Acupuncture in the clinical practice. This is expected to be available for clinical use.

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Korean medicine for a thoracolumbar compression fracture. Methods : We searched six Korean databases (DBPIA, Korean Studies Information Service System, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, National Digital Science Library, Research Information Sharing Service, KoreaMed) (up to June 2015) and the Journal of Korean Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society. Unpublished studies were also searched. Clinical research, other than case reports involving less than 10 patients, were eligible. The effectiveness and safety of Korean Medicine was analyzed. The 'Risk of Bias' was assessed using the 'Risk of Bias' assessment tool for non-randomized studies as well as the Cochrane Collaboration's 'Risk of Bias' tool. Results : We found 12 before-after studies (374 patients). There was no randomized trial. All studies combined at least three different types of Korean medicine treatments. The period of treatment varied between less a week and 154 days. All the included studies reported improvements in pain, functional disability related to lower back pain, global assessment, and benefits in the compression ratio of a fractured vertebrae and skin temperature measured by digital infrared thermal imaging in comparison with the baseline. However, all studies had a high risk of bias and three studies reported mild adverse events. Conclusions : There is no randomized trial for the role of Korean medicine for patients with a thoracolumbar compression fracture. The effectiveness and safety of Korean medicine for this population remains unclear. Findings in this review are seriously biased due to observational design and a high risk of bias included in the studies. Future high-quality randomized trials are warranted.

Purpose: Preshaped Locking compression plate(LCP) has holes with fixed angle between screw and plate and have advantage firm fixation because it has stability of angular and axial deformity. We evaluated usefulness of LCP after open reduction and internal fixation in distal fibular fracture. Materials and Methods: Between December 2011 and May 2012, 23 patients with fracture of distal fibula were followed up at least 12 months underwent open reduction and internal fixation with LCP. There were 15 males and 8 females with a mean age 39.8(20~69) years. According to Danis-Weber classification, there were 20 cases of type B and 3 cases of type C. There were 13 cases of isolated lateral malleolus fractures, 1 case of bimalleolar fracture, 6 cases of trimalleolar fractures and 3 cases of distal tibia fractures with proximal fibula fracture. Intraoperatively, we assessed whether preshaped LCP fit lateral margin of distal fibula or not and evaluated quality of reduction and postoperative complications. The cases were analyzed by radiological bone union time and clinical results according to the criteria of Meyer Results: Of all cases, complete bone union was achieved and average radiological bone union time was 7.3(6~12) weeks. The clinical results were excellent in 18 cases(78%), good in 5 cases(22%). There were 5 cases of plate with 3 holes, 13 cases of plate with 4 holes, 2 cases of plate with 5 holes, 1 case of plate with 6 holes and 2 cases of plate with 7 holes. The average number of screws at proximal fragement was 2.5 and at distal fragment was 3.5. In 14 cases (60.8 %), we needed re-bending of plate because the distance between plate and lateral cortical margin of distal fibula was more than 5 mm at anteroposterior X-ray after reduction. All cases have anatomical reduction and there were no complications of wound infections. There were no complaint about hardware irritation. Conclusion: At fractures of distal fibula,preshaped LCP had a excellent stability although far cortex was not fixed with screw and bending of plate. And there are less complications of hardware irritation and wound problems. But, Some complement would be needed because there were no complete fitting between precontour of LCP and lateral cortical margin of distal fibula.

Purpose: Posteroanterior screw fixation is biomechanically stronger than anteroposterior screw fixation. However, there are few literature about the correlation between clinical results and more strength by posteroanterior fixation. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the accelerated rehabilitation following anterior open reduction and posterior percutaneous screw fixation for displaced talar neck fractures. Materials and Methods: Eighteen cases were followed up for more than 1 year after posteroanterior fixation using headless compression screw for talar neck fractures. The clinical evaluation was performed according to American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and Hawkins criteria. As radiographic evaluation, the degree of fracture displacement, period to union, and occurrence rate of complications such as avascular necrosis through MRI were measured. Results: The AOFAS score was average 90.4 points at the last follow-up. There were 7 excellent, 9 good, and 2 fair results according to the Hawkins criteria. Therefore, 16 cases(88.8%) achieved satisfactory results. The degree of fracture displacement had improved significantly from preoperative average 5.6 mm to 1.2 mm immediate postoperatively, and maintained to 1.1mm at the last follow-up. All cases achieved bone union, and the period to union was average 12.4 weeks. There were 3 cases of avascular necrosis of talar body and 2 cases of post-traumatic arthritis. Conclusion: Anterior open reduction and posterior percutaneous headless screw fixation seems to be an effective surgical method for displaced talar neck fractures, because of the possibility of accurate restoration of articular surface, fixation strength enough to early rehabilitation, and needlessness of hardware removal.

골다공증이란 골량의 감소에 의해 야기되며. 해면골 미세구조의 골밀도가 감소하는 질병이다. 약물치료(부갑상선 호르몬)법은 골소주의 두께 및 골의 강도를 어느 정도 증가시킬 수 있는 호르몬 치료법이다. 척추성형술은 골다공성 척추 압박 골절의 치료를 위하여 척추 해면골에 주사기를 통하여 골 시멘트를 주입하는 최소 침습적 수술법이다. 임상적으로 골 시멘트의 물성치에 영향을 미치더라도 점성 감소와 주입 시간 확보를 위해 중합비율을 변경하여 사용한다. 본 연구의 목적은 골 시멘트 중합비율 변경에 따른 척추 해면골의 역학적 특성을 알아보고자 한다. 본 논문에서 는 수정된 보로노이 도형을 이용하여 척추 해면골의 유한요소 모델을 생성하고, 골 시멘트의 중합비율(0.40~l.07$m\ell$/g)에 따른 척추 해면골의 강도회복 정도를 비교하였다. 또한 골다공증 치료에서 호르몬 치료와 골 시멘트 치료의 상대적인 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 골 시멘트 치료모델의 탄성계수와 강도는 정상 상태의 약 50%로 회복되었으며, 이 값은 호르몬 치료 모델의 약 2배이다. 0.53$m\ell$/g의 중합비율에서 골 시멘트의 탄성계수와 강도가 최고이며 1.07$m\ell$/g의 중합비율에서 최소의 탄성계수와 강도(각각 42%와 49%)이지만 약물 치료보다는 더 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 척추성형술시 제작사에서 추천하는 중합비율과 다른 비율을 사용할 경우 골 시멘트의 물성치 감소뿐만 아니라 환자의 골 밀도에 따라서 해면골의 강도회복에 문제가 발생할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of operative treatment using mini-open sinus tarsi approach for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures. Materials and Methods: We studied 18 cases (16 patients) of intraarticular calcaneal fractures who were treated with sinus tarsi approach by same surgeon. The mean age of patients was 44.8 years, and mean follow-up period was 17.2 months. The measurement of B$\ddot{o}$hler angle, Gissane angle, the degree of articular surface depression, and the period to union were performed through preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The clinical evaluation was performed according to hindfoot score of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and scale of the Creighton-Nebraska health foundation (CNHF). Results: B$\ddot{o}$hler angle and Gissane angle had improved significantly from preoperative average $9.8^{\circ}$, $117.6^{\circ}$to average $22.4^{\circ}$, $113.4^{\circ}$ immediate postoperatively, and had maintained to average $21.8^{\circ}$and $114.2^{\circ}$ at the last follow-up. The degree of articular surface depression had improved significantly from preoperative average 5.2 mm to 1.2 mm at the last follow-up. All cases achieved bone union, and the period to union was average 10.5 weeks. AOFAS score was average 86.2 points at the last follow-up. There were 7 excellent, 9 good, and 2 fair results according to the CNHF scale. Therefore, 16 cases (88.8%) achieved satisfactory results. Conclusion: The minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach using headless compression screw seems to be an effective surgical method for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures, because of the possibility of accurate restoration of articular surface and the low risk of postoperative soft tissue complications.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture treatment for recovery of patients with vertebral compression fracture(VCF). Methods : We searched ten English and Chinese and seven Korean database up to April 2018. Randomised controlled trials(RCTs), quasi-RCTs, non-radomised Controlled Trials(CCTs) were eligible. Quasi-RCTs and CCTs were assessed only for safety assessment. Pain and adverse events were primary outcome of this review. Quality of life, dysfunction, patient satisfaction, incidence of new vertebral compression fracture were regarded as secondary outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed by two independent authors using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Level of evidence was tabulated using the GRADE methods. Results : Of 1656 screened, 15 RCTs, 1 quasi-RCT and 3 CCTs were included. Number of participants per study ranged from 45 to 135. Most of the studies had unclear or high risk of bias and considerable heterogeneity in terms of type of intervention, comparison and time-points for outcome measurement. Compared to usual care alone, acupuncture combined with usual care showed short-term favorable results for pain relief in patients with VCF(5 studies, n=252, MD -1.05 point on a 0 to 10 point scale, 95% CI -1.45 to -0.65, $I^2=74%$). Four studies reported mild and temporary adverse events, and no serious adverse events were reported. One study descriptively reported that acupuncture was effective for improving quality of life without providing numerical outcomes. There were no reports of patient satisfaction and incidence of new VCF. Conclusions : Level of evidence is very low for the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for pain, harms and other clinical outcomes in patients with VCF. Included studies suffered from incomplete reporting, high or unclear risk of bias and substantial heterogeneity between studies. Future high-quality RCTs are needed to assess whether acupuncture is beneficial for recovery of patients with VCF.
