The role of arthroscopy for the diagnosis of polyethylene wear after total knee arthroplasty has been reported previously. In this report, we demonstrate a case of wear of meniscal bearing in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and recurrent meniscal bearing subluxation which was diagnosed by arthroscopy. Arthroscopic examination has its role in diagnosing the wear and subluxation of polyethylene bearing after UKA.

Purpose: Tumor infiltration around the knee joint or skip metastasis, repeated infection sequelae after tumor prosthesis implantation, regional recurrence, and mechanical failure of the megaprosthesis might require combined distal femur and proximal tibia replacement (CFTR). Among the aforementioned situations, there are few reports on the indication, complications, and implant survival of CFTR in temporarily arthrodesed patients who had a massive bony defect on either side of the knee joint to control infection. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four CFTR patients were reviewed retrospectively and 13 temporary arthrodesed cases switched to CFTR were extracted. All 13 cases had undergone a massive bony resection on either side of the knee joint and temporary arthrodesis state to control the repeated infection. This paper describes the diagnosis, tumor location, number of operations until CFTR, duration from the index operation to CFTR, survival of CFTR, complications, and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score. Results: According to Kaplan-Meier plot, the 5- and 10-year survival of CFTR was 69.0%±12.8%, 46.0%±20.7%, respectively. Six (46.2%) of the 13 cases had major complications. Three cases underwent removal of the prosthesis and were converted to arthrodesis due to infection. Two cases underwent partial change of the implant due to loosening and periprosthetic fracture. The remaining case with a deep infection was resolved after extensive debridement. At the final follow-up, the average MSTS score of 10 cases with CFTR was 24.6 (21-27). In contrast, the MSTS score of 3 arthrodesis cases with failed CFTR was 12.3 (12-13). The average range of motion of the 10 CFTR cases was 67° (0°-100°). The mean extension lag of 10 cases was 48° (20°-80°). Conclusion: Although the complication rates is substantial, conversion of an arthrodesed knee to a mobile joint using CFTR in a patient who had a massive bony defect on either side of the knee joint to control infection should be considered. The patient's functional outcome was different from the arthrodesed one. For successful conversion to a mobile joint, thorough the eradication of scar tissue and creating sufficient space for the tumor prosthesis to flex the knee joint up to 60° to 70° without soft tissue tension.

Three cases who had medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee (Kellgrene-Laurence grade 3 and Outerbridge grade 4) and anterior instability of the knee due to rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in relative young ages underwent staged anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction followed by medial unicondylar arthroplasty in 2 cases and simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and unicondylar arthroplasty. We evaluated clinical results some kinds of preoperative and postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm score and last follow-up hospital for special surgery (HSS), knee society score (KSS). We consider that medial unicondylar arthroplasty with staged or simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is very good option of the treatment for the anterior instability and pain from advanced arthritis.

일반적으로 진행된 골관절염 등 골연골 병변에 대해서는 골연골을 치유시키는 술식에서부터 인공 관절 치환술까지 치료방법이 다양하게 보고되고 있다. 특히 견관절 인공 관절 치환술을 비롯한 여러 수술 방법에 대한 적응증 및 금기증을 잘 숙지하고, 각각의 고유 질병에 따른 병리 소견과 견관절의 정상적 해부학 및 생역학을 이해하며, 적절한 기구 선택과 정확한 술기로 수술을 시행할 때 제한된 치료 목표이지만 보다 긍정적인 치료 결과를 예측할 수 있다.

Recurrent spontaneous hemarthrosis is a relatively rare complication of total knee arthroplasty. This paper reports a case of a patient treated with arterial embolization for recurrent spontaneous hemarthrosis even after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. The patient had several relapses after total knee arthroplasty.

만약 Glenoid side를 해부학적으로 정확하게 치환하고, 상완골측의 prosthesis를 삽입할 때 실제 골두의 크기와 같은 prosthetic head를 쓰고, humeral stem의 위치 및 높이를 정확하게 맞추어 삽입하여, humeral head component의 center와 glenoid component의 center가 일치되고 lateral glenohumeral offset이 정상에 가깝게 수술을 시행하면 인공 치환물로 대치된 glenohumeral joint가 정상에 가장 가까운 kinematics를 가질 수 있다 (당연한 얘기지만 이렇게 수술하려면 많은 경험이 필요). 따라서 Glenohumeral joint의 인공 관절 치환술은 항상 technique-dependant 수술이며, 아무리 좋은 치환물도 훌륭한 수술 기법보다 더 중요할 수는 없다.

족관절 고정술은 족관절에 발생한 심한 관절염(end-stage arthritis)에서 전통적으로 시행하던 술식으로 현재 사용되고 있는 인공 족관절 치환술이 발달되기 전까지는 gold standard 로 알려져 있었으며 현재에도 심한 족관절의 변형이나 파괴, 족관절 인공 관절의 실패시에 시행되고 있다. 1897년 Albert가 처음으로 족관절 고정술을 소개한 이후로 30여가지가 넘는 방법이 행해지고 있으나 개방적 관절 고정술의 단점인 수술 후 염증, 유합 지연, 연부조직의 손상에 의한 피부 괴사 등을 극복하고 유합물을 높이기 위해 다양한 내고정 및 외고정 장치를 사용하고 있다. 관절경 술식이 발달하면서 Schnider가 1983년 최초로 관절경을 이용한 족관절 고정술을 발표한 이후로 관절경하의 족관절 고정술은 개방적 족관절 고정술 보다 높은 유합율과 적은 수술 합병증으로 인해 관심의 대상이 되었지만 족관절의 변형이 심한 경우에는 시행하기 어려운 단점이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다.

The rapidly increasing rate of shoulder arthroplasty is certain to increase the number of revision arthroplasties because of parallel increases in complication numbers. It has been widely reported that the causes of revision shoulder arthroplasty include rotator cuff deficiency, instability, glenoid or humeral component loosening, implant failure, periprosthetic fracture, and infection. Revision arthroplasty can be technically challenging, and surgical options available for failed shoulder arthroplasty are limited, especially in patients with glenoid bone loss or an irreparable rotator cuff tear. Furthermore, the outcomes of revision arthroplasty are consistently inferior to those of primary arthroplasty. Accordingly, surgical decision making requires a good understanding of the etiology of failure. Here, we provide a review of indications of revision arthroplasty and of the surgical techniques used by failure etiology.
