Purpose : Today, it enjoys a sports and a leisure where the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injury patient increase. The knee joint is important means of human body movement and to do an important duty when it encounters ACL injuries of the knee joint and the many restriction follows in the life which is ordinary. When it is damaged ACL, it comes to determinate that ACL reconstruction and preservation treatment that the according to condition of ligament and knee joint. After ACL reconstruction, that is the fact which already becomes known the exercise treatment advances a recovery and to reduce a sequela. Methods : we researched the method of exercise treatment after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction operation by journal of science direct and KISS in daecu university. Results : The representative exercise treatment is isometric exercise, isokinetic exercise isotonic exercise and complex exercise but what kind of exercise treatment most is effective, it revealed and support it was not. The method of exercise treatment is very various, so It causes a confusion made to the therapist and patients. So it executes once again it sought the kinetic therapeutic method which is efficient from this research and it tried to observe preceding research after ACL reconstruction. To operation a various the exercise treatments, operation only the treatment which is general compared to it was effective in muscular power and muscle functional improvement. But this like improve despite with the exercise treatment consequence which is continuous from research of most the pain leg compares to the health leg, it appeared the discrepancy which is a muscular power, a muscular endurance and a hypertrophy muscle etc, to the health leg or before operating 100% of muscular power to having gets the many therapy time was the recovery rate. Conclusion : Therefore after ACL reconstruction, it will become the many research continuously which is improve the muscle functional and ROM of the exercise treatment method and From therapeutic site of the patients it does to memorizes knowledge in advance about ACL injuries and the application the isokinetic treatment or exercise program are the set of necessary, frequency and amusement that considers complex what kind of therapeutic exercise becomes accomplished with the patient take care of attention.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative success and stability of arthroscopically assisted anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstructions using the central one third bone patellar tendon bone(BPB) autograft versus a quadrupled semitendinosus/gracilis(ST) autograft in patients with "isolated" ACL tears. Materials & Methods : A strict criteria to identify isolated ACL tears was used which included : no previous surgery, no other ligamentous injury, no history of patellofemoral symptoms, no patellofemoral malalignment, no meniscal pathology, no chondromalacia or chondral injury and no limitation of motion of the injured knee. 30 patients (15 BPB, 15 ST) with a mean age of 27.4 years were available for a mean follow up of 18 months (between 12 months and 26 months). Preoperatively, there was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to age, sex and degree of laxity. Results : Postoperatively, we couldn't find significant differences between the two groups with respect to subjective Lysholm score, objective laxity including Lachman test, pivot shift test and KT-2000 measurements. Mean side to side difference of KT-2000 scores at 20lbs were 1.5mm for the BPB group and 1.4mm for the ST group. Positive Lachman test was found in 26.7% and 33.3% and positive pivot shift was found in 20% and 33.3% of the patients in the BPB and ST groups, respectively. Anterior knee pain (33.3%) was more common in the BPB group. There were 80% of the patients in both groups above nearly normal grade according to the IKDC grade. Conclusions : In patients with "isolated" ACL tears, the overall results, ligamentous stability for the patellar tendon and the quadrupled semitendinosus/gracilis were comparable. We consider that the quadrupled autogenous hamstring tendon is a good alternative substitute in ACL reconstruction together with the bone patellar tendon bone.

Displaced tibial spine fractures need the anatomical reduction of the displaced bone fragment to achieve normal range of motion and anterior stability of the knee joint. The purpose of this paper is to describe details of arthroscopic technique using suture hook and pull-out PDS and to evaluate the clinical results. We report 7 cases who underwent arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using suture hook and pull-out PDS. All cases had fresh fractures generated within 3 weeks. The follow up period was at average 16.6 months. The fracture union was achieved at average 7.4 weeks. Knee exercise was started 2 weeks after the operation. One of the patients, who had combined injury of posterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus, showed limitation of knee movement. But he was underwent the arthroscopic fibrolysis at one year later, he returned to normal range of motion. Arthroscopic treatment of displaced tibial spine fracture using suture hook and pull-out PDS showed good results including rigid fixation and early mobilization. Therefore it is thought to be one of the effective operative techniques in treatment of the tibial spine fractures.

Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to analyze the clinical results after meniscal repair using meniscal arrow. Materials and Methods : Between May 1997 and Aug 1998, we repaired 22 tom menisci in 22 patients using meniscal arrows. There were nineteen males and three females with an average age of 27 years. There were longitudinal tear in 14 cases, Bucket-handle tear were 7 cases and horizontal tear was in 1 case. In 22 meniscus tears, 16 cases were associated with anterior cruciate ligament tear. Average number of meniscal arrow that was used were 2.5(ranged 1 to 4). Average follow-up period was 14.7 months(ranged 6 to 22 months). We evaluated the clinical results by the Tapper and Hoover's grading system. Results : There were excellent in 16 cases, good in 4 cases and fair in 2 cases on the clinical results. At the last follow up, the range of the motion of the knee joint were average 135 degrees(ranged 125 to 140 degrees). Mean time elapsed for meniscal repair were 25 minutes(ranged 15 to 40 minutes). Conclusion : Meniscal arrow has many advantages such as short operative time, easy fixation technique, and less neurovascular injury. We think that arthroscopic meniscal repair using meniscal arrow is effective treatment method in selected patient who have longitudinal, bucket-handle tear at the posterior hom associated with anterior cruciate ligament tear.

Purpose : To document the change in the temperature of the knee joint at the initiation and conclusion of an arthroscopic procedure and correlate this temperature change with other intra-operative variables. Material and Methods : Temperature measurements were performed in 40 consecutive patients(42 cases) that underwent arthroscopic surgery. Temperature measurements were taken at the initiation of the procedure, before and after inflation of the tourniquet. The last measurement was recorded at the end of the surgical procedure. Results : The mean knee joint temperature evaluated before inflation of the torniquet was $35.1{\pm}1.0$, at the end of surgery, $24.6{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$. The mean temperature change observed from the beginning to the end of the procedure was $10.5^{\circ}C$. The student t test showed a statistically significant difference of the initial joint temperature(p<0.01) between the patient with no and+1 effusion / between the patient with no and +2 effusion. The temperature at the end of the procedure was found to be statistically low correlated (p<0.01) with the lower temperature of the irrigant and the lengthening of the arthroscopic procedure. Conclusion : Consideration should be given to maintaining the saline irrigant to more physiologic temperature to protect the articular cartilage from any possible temperature induced damages.

Purpose: The authors introduce a new technique of arthroscopic all inside repair using anterolateral and anteromedial portals for lateral meniscus root complete radial tear in patients who underwent concurrent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Operative technique: Arthroscope is placed through anteromedial portal and suture hook ($Linvatec^{TM}$, Largo, Florida, USA) is delivered through anterolateral portal. By rotating the suture hook, it penetrates posterior horn of the torn meniscus from femoral to tibial surface for vertical orientation. PDS No. 1 ($Ethicon^{TM}$, Somerville, NJ, USA) is delivered through the suture hook, and then it is withdrawn. Both end of PDS No. 1 are taken out through the anterolateral portal. MAXON 2-0 ($Syneture^{TM}$, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA) is used to penetrates remnant of tibial attachment of the torn meniscus from tibial to femoral surface in a same manner. MAXON 2-0 is changed for PDS No. 1 from tibial to femoral surface by shuttle relay technique. PDS No. 1 is tied using SMC (Samsung Medical Center) knot. Conclusion: All inside repair is a useful technique to achieve anatomical repair and to restore the hoop tension in lateral meniscus root complete radial tear.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between variable factors and clinical results following the operative treatment of the tibial plateau fractures. Materials and Methods: The clinical and radiological analysis was performed on 29 cases of the tibial plateau fractures who had been treated with operative treatment and followed up for more than 1 year from January 1991 to December 1997. The analysis of clinical results was performed dividing into age, cause of injury, fracture type of Schatzker classification, associated soft tissue injury and method of operative treatment. Results: According to Schatzker classification, 2 cases(6.9%) were type I, 11 cases(37.9%) were type II, 1 case(3.5%) was type III, 5 cases(17.2%) were type IV, 4 cases(13.8%) were type V, and 6 cases(20.7%) were type VI. In all cases, bony unions were obtained. According to Blokker evaluation, 23 cases(79.3%) of 29 cases were acceptable. Conclusion: We could expect good clinical results if early knee joint mobilization following minimal invasive open reduction and internal fixation could be obtained. Bad clinical results were related with young age group under 30, more than Schatzker classification type IV of high energy trauma and associated injury of anterior cruciated ligment or meniscus.

Medially retracted large-sized rotator cuff tears includes large-sized tears, massive tears and irreparable tears. Generally arthroscopic repair or open repair of rotator cuff tears is used in reparable tears. However, arthroscopic repair requires long period practice and endurance. In irreparable tears, arthroscopic debridement, partial repair, latissimus dorsi transfer and retrograde arthroplasty can be the option. Arthoscopic debridement gives temporal relief who experienced improvement in pain and increase in range of motion after subacromial local anesthetic injection. Also arthroscopic partial repair gives good results in irreparable cases, especially in suprascapular nerve traction neurapraxia. Tendon transfer can be used in mild to moderate muscle weakness in shoulder abduction for long term treatment. Pectoralis major transfer can be used in anterosupeior tears and latissimus dorsi transfer can be used in posterosuperior tears. Reverse shoulder prosthesis is used in extreamly weakened shoulder pseudoparalysis. The authors discussed the method of arthroscopic repair in irreparable tears. The debridement, partial repair, and tendon transfer could be used in medially retracted large-sized rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: Superficially spreading (SS) early gastric cancer (EGC) is characterized by wide horizontal extension without deep vertical invasion. It is a relatively rare form of EGC, and it's clinicopathological (C-P) characteristics are not evident. This study aimed to clarify their C-P characteristics. Materials and Methods: We defined SS EGC as invading less than the submucosal layer that measured more than 60 mm in diameter or wider than $5{\times}5cm \;(25cm^2)$ in width. The C-P characteristics and prognosis were compared between 69 patients with SS EGC and 319 patients with the common type EGC (EGC except SS type). Results: For SS EGC lymph node metastases, Lauren's diffuse type, lymphatic invasion were significantly higher than in common type EGC. In patients with SS EGC, all of the metastatic lymph nodes were anatomically distributed within the paragastric region, with fewer along the left gastric artery and common hepatic artery. In 6 cases of SS EGC with resection marqins less than 10 mm, there was no death during the follow-up period (4 to 13 years after operation) if margins were not involved. Age (>58 yrs), tumor site (upper 1/3), lymph node metastasis, submucosal invasion were statistically significant poor prognostic factor in univariate survival analysis. In multivariate survival analysis, age and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors. However, tumor diameter or width was not a significant prognostic factor. Conclusion: Although SS EGC has histologically distinct properties, gastrectomy with free surgical margins and appropriate lymph node dissection $(D1+{\beta})$ could be a suitable treatment.
