Background: The intraarticular (IA) injection has become popular for the management of the osteoarthritic knee without an effusion. The success rate of IA injection would be better if it was able to be visually confirmed. We hypothesized that an anterolateral approach, which targets the synovial membrane of the lateral condyle using ultrasound, would provide an equivalent alternative to the anterolateral approach, targeting the synovial membrane of the medial condyle for IA injection of the knee. Methods: A total of 96 knees with osteoarthritis were randomized placed into the two groups, which were group I (anterolateral approach to the medial condyle) and group II (anterolateral approach to the lateral condyle). The primary outcome was to compare the success rate of the two methods of IA injection. The required length of the needle for injection was also measured and compared. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale in order to evaluate the success of injection. Results: There were no significant differences in the success rate between both groups. The success rate of group I and group II were 87.8% (95%, CI 78.7-97.0) and 91.5% (95%, CI 83.6-99.5), respectively (P = 0.549). The needle depth was $5.0{\pm}0.8$ (3.0 to 6.1 cm) in group I, and $3.0{\pm}0.8$ (1.5 to 5 cm) in group II (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The anterolateral approach to the lateral femoral condyle, using ultrasound, is an alternative method to the approach targeting the medial femoral condyle, using shorter needle.

The anterolateral thigh flap(ALT flap) was originally described in 1984 as a septocutaneous nap based on the descending branch of the lateral circumflex artery. This nap has some significant advantages for reconstruction of the head and neck. It can be raised as a subcutaneous flap, a fasciocutaneous nap, or a myocutaneous nap and can resurface large defects in the head and neck. In addition, it has a large and long vascular pedicle, and because of the distance of the donor site from the head and neck, it can easily be harvested with a two-team approach. However, the number and locations of cutaneous perforators vary individually, and thus, it is not widely used because nap elevation is often complicated and time-consuming owing to unexpected anatomical variations. The purposes of this study are to clarify the vascular anatomy and to assess the suitability of anterolateral thigh nap for oral cavity reconstruction in Koreans. In addition, we used anterolateral thigh free nap for oral cavity reconstruction in 20 oral cancer patients from 2006 to 2011. Through our clinical experience, we discuss a series of practical "pearls and pitfalls". Our experience has not only given us new flap choice using anterolateral thigh nap in oral cavity reconstruction, but also given us a new possibility on the applicability of chimeric naps.

Since R.Y. Song(1982) has reported anatomic studies about septocutaneous perforator flap, various experiences especially on thigh flaps pedicled on septocutaneous artery were reported. Baek(1983) reported an anatomic study through the cadavers dissections on medial, lateral thigh area and provided the first new cutaneous free flap of thigh for clinical use. Song, et a1.(1984) reported anterolateral thigh free flap, Koshima, et al.(1989) reported pedicle variations and its versatile clinical usages. According to their reports, accessory branches of lateral femoral circumflex artery are placed in comparatively constant location and proved to be the effective pedicle of this flap. The advantages of anterolateral thigh free flap are 1) comparatively thin 2) can obtain sufficiently large flap 3) can contain cutaneous nerve 4) can be easy to approach anatomically because pedicle is located in comparatively constant position 5) minimal donor site morbidity. We report the experience of 10 cases of anterolateral thigh free flap coverage for soft tissue defects: 4 cases of soft tissue defects on foot area, 2 cases of soft tissue defects on hand, 3 cases of partial tongue defects owing to tongue cancer ablation, and 1 case of soft tissue defect on nasal alar.

Objective : The authors report the microsurgical anterolateral tunnel approach for the treatment of the cervical disc diseases and its postoperative surgical results. Methods : All surgical procedures followed the method of classical microsurgical anterior discectomy. Small tunnel(7-8mm) was made on the disc space reaching to the posterior longitudinal ligament. The disc materials and bony spurs were removed through this tunnel. Thirty-one patients of cervical disc herniation(24 cases with pure disc herniation, 7 cases with combined cervical spondylosis) were evaluated on the symptoms, conformation in plain X-ray, C-T, and MRI. The follow up time was over 2 years. Results : Postoperatively the result(following the out come scale) was excellent and good in Twenty-nine patients. One with fair result showed remnant disc particle and spur and another one is combined with cord contusion. One patient with lesion in C 3-4 space and two cervicothoracic junction showed excellent result. Two patients with osteoporosis also showed good results. Cervical spine curvature and disc space height were not changed on the plain X-ray and MRI in all patients. Twenty-nine patients were discharged within 3 days after surgery without any postoperative complications. Conclusions : The microsurgical anterolateral tunnel approach could be indicated for the treatment of patients with cervical disc diseases and with difficulty in achieving interbody fusion(the higher cervical level and cervicothoracic junction, osteoporosis etc.).

We performed an anatomic study on cadavers and analyzed the anatomic pattern of the lateral circumflex femoral arterial system and the perforators nourishing the anterolateral thigh flap. This study suggest the characteristics of vascular anatomic patterns of anterolateral thigh flap of Korean and utility of this flap for head and neck reconstruction.

Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer is a well-established method for treatment of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. We report on an anterolateral mini-open technique with a porcine dermal patch augmentation for latissimus dorsi tendon transfer. Use of this technique would result in avoidance of deltoid damage by anterolateral mini-open approach and reduction of failure rate by patch augmentation.

목적: 회전근 개 파열에서의 전외측 도달법을 이용한 소절개 봉합술을 소개하고자 한다. 수술 술기: 전신 마취하에 측와위 자세를 취한 후 후방 삽입구, 전방 삽입구를 이용하여 관절내 병변의 유무를 확인하고, 관절경을 견봉하 공간에 위치시킨 후 외측 삽입구를 이용하여 회전근 개의 파열 형태 및 크기를 파악한 후 관절경하견봉 성형술을 시행한다. 견봉의 전외측 연에서 하방으로 3~4 cm의 피부 절개를 가한 후 전방 및 중간 삼각근의 봉합선을 따라 박리하고 삼각근 견인기를 이용하여 시야를 확보한다. 파열된 건에 견인 봉합을 시행하여 해부학적 복원을 위한 위치를 확인한 후 봉합 나사를 이용하여 일열 혹은 이열 봉합술을 시행한다. 봉합술 후 견봉에서 삼각근이 견열되는 것을 방지하기 위해 1번 흡수봉합사를 이용하여 견봉과 삼각근과의 추가적인 봉합을 시행한다. 결론: 본 술기는 회전근 개의 가장 흔한 파열 부위인 극상건의 전방부에 직접 도달이 가능하고, 전방 및 중간 삼각근 사이로 접근하기 때문에 삽입구 연장 도달법에 비해 비교적 적은 견인으로도 시야를 확보할 수 있으며 전방으로는 견갑하건의 상부와 후방으로는 극하건까지 도달할 수 있는 유용한 술식으로 생각된다.

Background: We described a surgical method for osteosynthesis and reported the resultant strength after application of a PHILOS plate through the anterolateral approach for the treatment of fractures of the distal humerus. Methods: Between February 2010 and March 2012, open reduction and internal fixation operations with the PHILOS plate for treatment of fracture of the distal humerus were performed on a total of nine patients (five men, four women). The mean age was 40.8 years (range, 24-50 years), and the average follow-up period was 9.1 months (range, 6-15 months). Clinical evaluations were performed 6 months after the operation. Clinical assessment included determination of the range of motion of the elbow, the Mayo and Oxford elbow scores, and any postoperative complications. Results: Fracture union was noted in all patients, with an average period of 12.4 weeks. The average Mayo elbow and Oxford elbow scores were 87.2 (of a total of 100) and 43.3 (of a total of 48), respectively. For the postoperative range of motion of the elbow, all patients showed complete recovery to the preoperative range of motion. No other conditions, such as neurolepsis, plate breakage, or rotational deformity, were observed. Conclusions: Open reduction and internal fixation of distal humerus fractures with a PHILOS plating system via anterolateral approach can be effective. A high rate of union with good outcomes can be assumed.
