Purpose: Open lateral release and complete lateral release have been conducted as a surgical method in patients with patellofemoral malalignment. But authors sought to find out the best method by conducting selective release, with minimal excision of the involved lesion, and comparative analyzing the result, as postoperative satisfaction and complication. Materials and Methods: Over the 68 patients of 90 cases who underwent arthroscopic release, among 94 patients of 129 cases who underwent lateral retinacular release, from January 1993 to June 1998 were followed up prospectively. A radiological evaluation of patellar inclination, patellar tilt, congruence angle, and Q-angle and a clinical evaluation of HSS-Knee score and modified patellar score were used for analysis data before operation and data at 1 year and 5 year after operation. Results: According to the radiologic evaluation, the patellar tilt and translation revealed improvement of the results, from $13.4^{\circ}$ and 12.1mm to $3.6^{\circ}$ and 3.8mm with arthroscopic lateral complete release, and from $12.3^{\circ}$ and 11.2mm to $4.8^{\circ}$ and 5.2mm with selective release, and from $13.6^{\circ}$ and 12.3mm to $3.3^{\circ}$ and 3mm with open release. But they were not significantly related to the clinical results. HSS-Knee score was 84.2%(48/57), 81.8%(27/33), 82.1%(32/39) and modified patellar score was 82.5%(47/57), 81.8%(27/33), 82.1%(32/39) respectively, which revealed satisfactory results. And no significant difference among the operative methods were shown. Conclusion: Arthroscopic lateral retinacular release which is one of the surgical method for patellofemoral malalignment enhances rehabilitation and satisfaction of the patient, by releasing the involved retinaculum within lesser surgical extent, compared to open and complete lateral release without complications such as adhesion.

Idiopathic cricopharyngeal achalasia is a rare condition that produces oropharyngeal dysphagia. It is caused by spasm of the cricopharyngeus and inability to relax with swallowing. A prominent muscle bar at the upper esophageal sphincter is a typical finding of the esophagogram. Cricopharyngeal myotomy is the treatment of choice. We report a case of cricopharyngeal myotomy for 61-year-old female patient.

Recently, video-assisted surgical approaches for achalasia have been adopted by many surgeons. Many reports showed that the minimal invasive video-assisted operations for Ihe achalasia revealed such good results as the conventional operations via thoracotomy. In some studies, among the minimal invasive video assisted surgeries for achalasia, the laparascopic assisted operations have some advantages mainly in respect to patient satisfaction over the thoracoscopic assisted surgeries. In this case, the patient had not responded to repeated balloon dilatation, and we made 5 small incisions over the abdominal wall and performed an esophageal myotomy and partial anterior fundoplication by laparascopic guide. The patient's symptoms were almost relieved, and the postoperative radiologic findings were satisfactory.

관절경적 경경골 단일 다발 후방십자인대 재건술은 전통적으로 가장 흔하게 사용되는 사용되는 술기이다. 그러나, 후방십자 단독 파열시 이 술기의 결과에 대한 임상 평가 및 효용성에 대한 임상적 분석 자료가 거의 없는 실정이다. 이 술기를 시행받은 환자군들에서 객관적 슬관절 이완이 존재함에도 불구하고 주관적 슬관절 기능 장애는 우수한 결과를 나타낸다고 인정되어 왔다. 후방십자인대 단독 파열 후 경경골 단일 다발 재건술을 시행한 문헌 10개를 대상으로 잔존하는 후방 이완과 주관적, 객관적인 기능 평가, 활동성 정도, 환자 만족도, 골관절염의 발생 빈도, 술후 합병증을 체계적으로 고찰하였다. 술전 후방 슬관절 이완은 8.38~12.3 mm에서(4문헌) 술후 1.96~5.9 mm으로(9 문헌) 호전되었다. Lysholom 점수는 평균 81~100점이었다(9 문헌). IKDC는 75%에서 정상 또는 거의 정상의 결과를 보였다(6 문헌). 평균 Tegner 활동도는 4.7~6.3점이었다(8 문헌). 이번 고찰을 통한 결과에서 이 술기 후 퇴행성 변화가 관찰되었으며 보고된 합병증은 거의 없었다. 후방십자인대 단독 파열에서 경경골 단일 다발 재건술은 정상 슬관절의 안정성까지 회복하지는 못하나 한 등급 정도의 후방 슬관절 이완의 호전을 기대할 수 있다. 재활 및 운동으로의 회복에 대한 주관적 슬관절 점수는 80점이며 75%의 정상 또는 정상에 가까운 객관적 결과를 보여주었다. 이 술기가 퇴행성 관절염을 예방할 수는 없더라도 이러한 결과는 후방십자인대 재건 술기의 평가에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of study on the PAS release therapy used by myofascial release was to Introduce for clinical therapists whose want to relict pain on myofascia or soft tissue lesion patients by pas. According to review the earlier studies for a myofascial pain syndrome, myofascial release is not only to decrease muscle tone but also the effect of pas therapy has to facilitate a circulation of the human energy called Ki, so PAS release which was combined therapy pattern would be Possible relief Pain in the musculoskeletal lesion's Patients. Therefore I would be suggested to physical therapists in domestic the PAS release therapy used by myofascial release.

Although diaphragmatic eventration in newborn infants is generally regarded as a rare condition, the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention according to the etiological factors is well known. Recently the authors experienced five consecutive cases of diaphragmatic eventration below the age of two months(one to 55 days) requiring surgery. All were in males, and were left sided. Respiratory symptoms were present in 4 patients, and one patient showed inability to gain weight. Diaphragms were elevated to the level of the third to fifth intercostal spaces. Diaphragmatic plication through the abdomen gave excellent results. There was no postoperative mortality.
