Objective: The biomechanical stabilities between the anterior plate fixation after anterior discectomy and fusion (ACDFP) and the posterior transpedicular fixation after ACDF(ACDFTP) have not been compared using human cadaver in bilateral cervical facet dislocation. The purpose of this study is to compare the stability of ACDFP, a posterior wiring procedure after ACDFP(ACDFPW), and ACDFTP for treatment of bilateral cervical facet dislocation. Methods: Ten human spines (C3-T1) were tested in the following sequence: the intact state, after ACDFP(Group 1), ACDFPW(Group 2), and ACDFTP(Group 3). Intervertebral motions were measured by a video-based motion capture system. The range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) were compared for each loading mode to a maximum of 2.0Nm. Results: ROMs for Group 1 were below that of the intact spine in all loading modes, with statistical significance in flexion and extension, but NZs were decreased in flexion and extension and slightly increased in bending and axial rotation without significances. Group 2 produced additional stability in axial rotation of ROM and in flexion of NZ than Group 1 with significance. Group 3 provided better stability than Group 1 in bending and axial rotation, and better stability than Group 2 in bending of both ROM and NZ. There was no significant difference in extension modes for the three Groups. Conclusion: ACDFTP(Group 3) demonstrates the most effective stabilization followed by ACDFPW(Group 2), and ACDFP(Group 1). ACDFP provides sufficient strength in most loading modes, ACDFP can provide an effective stabilization for bilateral cervical facet dislocation with a brace.

Objective : Unilateral facet dislocation of the cervical spine occurs by flexion and rotation injuries and cannot be easily reduced by axial traction. We analyzed 14 consecutive patients with unilateral facet dislocation of the cervical spine to increase knowledge about anatomical reduction of locked facet and factors for successful reduction. Methods : Fourteen patients [10 men and 4 women] with unilateral facet dislocation of the cervical spine were retrospectively analyzed. Plain X-ray, computerized tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. All patients underwent manual reduction and surgery with anterior interbody fusion and plate fixation. The manual reduction was performed by neck flexion and rotation to the opposite side of dislocation, followed by rotation and flexion of the head toward the side of dislocation and extension with relaxation of traction. Mean follow-up period was 17 months. The level of spine, amount of subluxation, combined facet fracture, and time from injury to initial reduction were analyzed using the data obtained from medical records. Results : Thirteen [93%] patients were reduced successfully. Immediate reduction was achieved in 7 patients but failed in 7 patients. Seven patients underwent delayed closed reduction under general anesthesia, and successful reduction was achieved in 6 patients. Only one patient with bone chips between articular facets failed to achieve anatomical reduction. Conclusion : In order to reduce the locked facet more easily and safely, we recommend manipulative traction with anterior interbody fusion and plate fixation under general anesthesia after being aware of spinal cord injury with magnetic resonance imaging.

Bosworth fracture-dislocation of ankle is very rare, occurred by eversion and external rotation force. It is known as irreducible fracture by closed method. Also, compartment syndrome after ankle fracture are exceedingly rare. There are only a few reported cases of compartment syndrome after ankle fracture and compartment syndrome are involved commonly deep posterior compartment. We present a case in which a patient had a Bosworth fracturedislocation of the ankle underwent open reduction with internal fixation and subsequently occurred an anterior compartment syndrome of the leg.

We report a patient with an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with uncommon bucket handle type fracture of the anterior glenoid fossa with intact glenoid labrum. The fracture fragment was displaced into the posterior aspect of the glenohumeral joint resulting in prevention of reduction of the shoulder. Excellent fixation was obtained with suture anchors and bioabsorbable interfragmentary screws. This allowed stable range of motion exercises, optimizing the patient's functional outcome.

Purpose: This paper analyzes the results of arthroscopic bankart repair for anterior recurrent dislocation following a trauma on shoulder. Material and Methods: The subjects were twenty-three (23) cases that were available to follow up for more than eighteen months during the period from November 2001 to June 2003 and were chosen from patients to whom arthroscopic bankart repair was applied using a knotless suture anchor for their traumatic anterior recurrent dislocation on the shoulder. Their average age was 28 (ranging from 15 to 60) with 20 males and 3 females. The injury from sports activities accounted for the most cases with 14 subjects. The average follow-up period was 27 months (ranging from 18 months to 35 months). There were 19 cases of bankart lesions, 4 cases of ALPSA lesions and associated with 5 cases of partial tear in the rotator cuff. The anchors employed were knotless anchor (Mitek) for all the cases. Rowe scoring scale was adopted to judge the results after operations. Patients' subjective satisfaction and range of motion of external rotation were addressed together. Results: Rowe scores showed that 20 cases (87%) reaches the level of 'good' and hinger. The average patients' satisfaction accounted for 90 points out of 100. It was also found that external rotations averagely decreased by 6.5 degree when the range of motion was in at the side. Conclusion: There were satisfactory results of arthroscopic bankart repair using knotless suture anchors as an operative treatment for traumatic anterior recurrent dislocation on shoulder.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is defined that the disc-condyle complex is positioned anterior to the articular eminence in the open mouth position, and is unable to return to a normal closed mouth position without a manipulative maneuver. TMJ dislocation can recur habitually and result several problems to patients such as discomfort, pain, fear, and anxiety. The only definitive treatment for TMJ dislocation is surgical alteration of the joint itself. In most cases, however, a surgical procedure is far too aggressive for the symptoms experienced by the patient. In addition, the effect of surgical treatment may be insufficient, and the recurrence have been reported. It is also possible to develop several complications after surgical treatment. Therefore much effort should be directed at supportive therapy in an attempt to eliminate the disorder or at least reduce the symptom to tolerable levels. Through this cases the authors present favorable treatment outcome using occlusal splint with the patient of TMJ dislocation. Occlusal splint therapy can be considered as easy, safe, and useful non-invasive modality to treatment of TMJ dislocation.
