Stress fractures of the proximal phalanx of the great toe are rare. This fractures have been associated with halux valgus deformity in most reports. We performed open reduction and internal fixation with distal chevron osteotomy for the stress fracture of the proximal phalanx of the great toe in a basketball player with hallux valgus, and obtained successful bony union and rapid return to sports.

Chopart joint fracture and dislocation are rare injuries compared with other joint injuries with various clinical manifestations. Moreover, there is a lack of knowledge of the radiological findings of the joints, and thus, the extent of joint ligament damage may be underestimated, leading to improper treatment. This paper reports three cases of Chopart joint injury and seeks to reconsider the importance of Chopart joint evaluation and treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of conservative treatment of zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fracture. Materials and Methods: Between May 2004 and June 2010, a total of 58 patients of zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fractures were included in this study. The mean length of follow-up was 13.5 months (12~36 months). All of the patients were treated with full-weight-bearing short leg cast immobilization for 4 weeks and wooden sole shoes for 4 weeks. The results were evaluated about the radiographic union, the midfoot scale of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), the tenderness on fracture site and other complications. Results: All patients were able to return to their prior levels of activity. The mean time for union as shown on radiographs was 45.5 days, and the mean midfoot scale of AOFAS was 99.7 points. There were no nonunions or refractures during the follow-up. Conclusion: The conservative treatment with full-weight-bearing short leg cast and wooden sole shoes seems to give good results for zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fracture.

Syndesmotic injury can either be isolated or associated with bony or ligamentous ankle injury. When it is not associated with an ankle fracture, it may not be easy to diagnose, especially when there is no franck diastasis on a plain radiograph. Without proper treatment, syndesmotic injury can lead to chronic pain due to impingement of scar tissues and instability. It may further lead to ankle arthritis. Early diagnosis with appropriate management is a prerequisite to avoid these problems. Herein, we review and discuss the mechanism of injury, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of isolated syndesmotic injury.

Purpose: To evaluate surgical treatment using two-staged MIPO technique in tibial pilon fractures involving tibial shaft. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients, who underwent two-staged MIPO technique for pilon fractures involving tibial shaft between January 2003 and May 2005, were followed for more than one year. Radiographs were graded by the criteria of Anglen and ankle functions were graded by the criteria of Mast and Teipner. Ankle function, union time and postoperative complications were also analysed. Results: Clinically there were eight (67%) good results, three (25%) fair results and one (8%) poor result. At the last follow-up, the radiographic results showed seven (58%) excellent results, three (25%) good results, and two (17%) fair results. During the follow up, There was one case of nonunion Conclusion: Two-staged MIPO techinque is one of the good methods for the treatment of pilon fractures invloving tibial shaft.

다시 강조하지만 신경관절병증의 수술 목표는 정상발을 만드는 것이 아니라 보조기 착용이 가능하고 발바닥을 이용한 체중 부하 보행이 가능하도록 하는 것이라는 것을 늘 유념하여 치료 계획을 세워야 한다. 따라서 적절한 수술 방법을 선택하기 위해서는 병의 진행 경과와 특성을 이해하여 적절한 술 전 계획을 수립하는 것이 가장 중요할 것이다.

Purpose: We analyzed the ankle bony abnormality of patients with marked ankle instability who had chronic ankle sprain more than 3 years. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the chronic ankle sprain (more than 3 years) patients with marked ankle instability tested by varus stress test and anterior draw test from March 2000 to December 2005. Eighty-nine patients (104 ankle) were evaluated and there were 38 males and 51 females. The mean age of patient at the time of diagnosis was 34.5 (range, 18 to 56 years). The average duration of morbidity was 7 years and 3 months (range, 3 years and 3 months to 21 years). The patients who had history of dislocation, fracture, malalignment, operated patients, and rheumatoid ones were excluded. Plain radiographs of AP, lateral, oblique and mortise view were checked. Results: Radilologic abnormalities were found at 74 ankles (71%) among 104 ankles. Frequent sequences of location were anterior talotibial osteophyte, medial malleolar osteophyte, Os subfibulare, lateral malleolar osteophyte. Posteior osteophyte, ankle arthritis, talar articular defect were rarely found. Conclusion: Seventy-one percent among patients with chronic ankle sprain and marked ankle instability showed more than one radiologic abnormalities. Thus, more exclusive and accurate ankle examination should be performed in these patients.

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of temporary K-wire fixation in F-plate fixation for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Materials and Methods: Two groups (group 1 with F-plate fixation only and group 2 with temporary K-wire fixation and F-plate fixation) of patients were included in this study. The temporary K-wire was removed six weeks after the operation. Each group consisted of 33 cases. Rotational axis angles were measured radiographically and the foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS) was used for clinical assessment. Results: In group 1, the mean rotational axis angle was reduced from $27^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $5.59^{\circ}$ postoperatively and the angle at last follow-up was $9.94^{\circ}$. There was an increase in angle of $4.35^{\circ}$ between postoperative and the last follow-up measurement. In group 2, the mean rotational axis angle was reduced from $21.2^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $4.39^{\circ}$ postoperatively and the angle at last follow-up was $5.91^{\circ}$. There was an increase in angle of $1.52^{\circ}$ between postoperative and the last follow-up measurement. Significant difference in the changes of rotational axis angle was observed between the two groups. However, no significant difference in FAOS was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: Temporary K-wire fixation can prevent reduction loss when treating displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with an F-plate.

Purpose: We tried to evaluate the usefulness of the arthroscopy in the operative treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fracture. Materials and Methods: Between March 2005 and May 2008, 9 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures（Tongue type or Sanders type IIC) were treated with arthroscopically assisted percutaneous reduction and screw fixation. American orthopedic foot and ankle society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, visual analogue scale (VAS), preoperative and postoperative Bohler's angle and the rate of complication were evaluated. Results: AOFAS score at postoperative 1 year was 88.2 (range, 71-92), and mean VAS score was 2.8 (range, 1-4). Bohler angle was improved from preoperative mean $16.2^{\circ}$ to postoperative mean $29.7^{\circ}$. There were no complications such as wound problem, infection or nerve injury. Conclusion: Subtalar arthroscopy provides precise view of posterior facet during the operation. Therefore, it can be a useful tool in treating intra-articular calcaneus fractures, especially tongue type and Sanders type IIC fractures.

목적: 족관절 골절에서 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절의 진단 및 골편 고정술을 위한 전산화 단층 촬영의 유용성을 알고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 7월부터 2010년 7월까지 본원에서 단순 방사선 검사 및 전산화 단층 촬영을 시행하여 수술한 족관절 골절 환자 108명을 후향적으로 연구하였다. 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절이 동반된 환자 19명과 대조군 89명으로 나누어, Lauge-Hansen 분류, 수상 시 힘의 양, 원위 경비 인대 결합 손상의 방사선학적 지표를 비교하였다. 두 군의 평균 추시 기간은 각각 25개월 및 23개월이었다. 전체 환자 중 수술 시 부하 검사에 족관절 불안정성으로 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절의 골편을 고정한 환자 8명과 횡나사 경비 고정술을 한 환자 11명의 최종 추시 시 임상적, 방사선학적 결과를 비교하였다. 결과: 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절이 동반된 환자 19명 중 전산화 단층 촬영에서만 발견된 환자가 14명이었다. 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절이 있는 환자가 없는 환자에 비해 회내-외회전에 의한 손상, 고 에너지 손상, 원위 경비 인대 결합 손상에 대한 방사선학적 지표에 해당하는 경우가 유의하게 많았다. 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절의 골편을 고정한 환자와 횡나사 경비 고정술을 한 환자 모두 최종 추시 상 만족할 만한 결과를 보였고 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 회내-외회전, 고 에너지 손상, 방사선학적 지표 상 원위 경비 인대 결합 손상에 해당하는 족관절 골절 환자에서 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절의 유무를 알기 위해 전산화 단층 촬영하는 것이 도움이 되며 전하 경비 인대 견열 골절이 있는 경우 골편을 직접 고정하는 것이 원위 경비 인대 결합 손상의 치료에 유용한 방법 중 하나로 생각된다.
