목적: 종양인공관절 주위 골절은 안정된 고정의 어려움과 골유합 후에도 골질 약화로 해리 및 재골절 위험이 많다. 피질골 지주 중첩 동종골 이식술을 종양인공관절 주위 골절에 적용하면 내고정도 쉽고, 골유합 기간도 단축되며, 합병증도 줄일 수 있을 것이라고 생각하였다. 본 연구는 종양인공관절 주위 골절 27예(30 골절)의 골절의 양상과 치료 후 재건 술식에 따른 생존율 및 합병증, 중첩 동종골 이식술 추가 여부에 따라 골유합 기간 및 기능적 결과가 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 골절 치료 시 판형 동종골 이식을 한 군 16예와 시행하지 않은 군 14예를 비교하였다. 분석항목은 종양인공관절 치환술부터 골절까지 기간, 골절의 양상, 골유합 기간 차이, 합병증, 및 기능적 결과를 기술하였다. 결과: 골절 양상은 unified classification system (UCS) B형이 21예(70.0%, 21/30)로 가장 많았으며 그 중 B1이 14예(46.7%, 14/30), B2가 1예(3.4%, 1/30), B3가 6예(20.0%, 6/30)였고 C형이 9예(30.0%, 9/30)였다. Kaplan-Meier 법에 의한 30 재건 부위의 5년, 10년 생존율은 각각 84.5%±4.18%, 42.2%±7.83%였다. 전체 30예의 골유합 기간은 평균 5.1개월(범위, 2.0-11.2개월)이었다. 동종골 이식군은 평균 3.5개월(범위, 2.0-6.26개월)로 고식적 고정군의 평균 7.2개월(범위, 4.0-11.2개월)보다 짧았다(p<0.0001). 최종 기능평가상 동종골 이식군은 평균 26.1점으로 고식적 고정군의 평균 20.9점보다 높았다(p<0.0001). 합병증은 4예로 모두 동종골을 사용하지 않은 군에서 있었다. 결론: 종양인공관절 주위 골절은 드물고 골유합도 비교적 잘 이루어지나 유합 후 합병증 최소화가 중요하다. 판형 중첩 동종골 이식술은 골유합 기간을 단축, 골질 증가, 해리위험성 감소 효과가 있으며 종양인공관절 주위 골절에 유용한 방법이다.

Background: Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis is a relatively common craniofacial anomaly and various techniques were introduced to achieve its operative goals. Authors found that by using smaller bone fragments than that used in conventional cranioplasty, sufficiently rigid bone union and effective regeneration capacity could be achieved with better postoperative outcome, only if their stable fixation was ensured. Methods: Through bicoronal incisional approach, involved synostotic cranial bone together with its surrounding areas were removed. The resected bone flap was split into as many pieces as possible. The extent of this 'multi-split osteotomy' depends on the degree of dysmorphology, expectative volume increment after surgery and probable dead space caused by bony gap between bone segments. Rigid interosseous fixation was performed with variable types of absorbable plate and screw. In all cases, the pre-operational three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) was checked and brain CT was taken immediately after the surgery. Also about 12 months after the operation, 3D CT was checked again to see postoperative morphology improvement, bone union, regeneration and intracranial volume change. Results: The bony gaps seen in the immediate postoperative brain CT were all improved as seen in the 3D CT after 12 months from the surgery. No small bone fragment resorption was observed. Brain volume increase was found to be made gradually, leaving no case of remaining epidural dead space. Conclusion: We conclude that it is meaningful in presenting a new possibility to be applied to not only nonsyndromic craniosynostosis but also other reconstructive cranial vault surgeries.

Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed the radiographic and clinical results after the first ray of forefoot osteotomy using low profile wedge plate without additional cancellous bone grafting for pes planus correction. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four patients were enrolled in this study. Medial cuneiform opening wedge osteotomy was performed in 12 patients (Cotton osteotomy, group C) and first metatarsal base osteotomy was performed in 12 patients (group MT). Results: On average, the wedge size was 5.61 mm (5~6 mm). The mean time to radiographic union was 3.18 and 3.27 months in groups C and MT, respectively. Postoperative talonavicular coverage angle, talo-first metatarsal angle (anteroposterior), talo-first metatarsal angle (lateral), talo-calcaneal angle (lateral), medial cuneiform height, and American orthopaedic foot, as well as ankle society midfoot scale were significantly improved in both groups. Nonunion, delayed union or fixation failure was not presented in our series. Conclusion: We have shown that low profile wedge plate was effective in the case of first ray forefoot osteotomy for pes planus correction without any additional cancellous bone grafting.

A 6-year-old Thoroughbred mare presented to the Korea Racing Authority Equine Hospital with dropping of the left front fetlock due to an injury sustained while racing. Radiographic examination revealed a comminuted fracture of both proximal sesamoid bones of the affected fetlock. Arthrodesis of the fetlock joint using a broad dynamic compression plate with a tension band wire was performed as a salvage procedure for the future use as a broodmare. After surgery, however, a delayed union of the bones and surgical site infection was present for a prolonged period. Staphylococcus aureus was persistently identified from the surgical site, and antimicrobial therapies were based on antibiotic sensitivity tests, including regional perfusions. The removal and replacement of surgical implants associated with seropurulent discharge was based on coordinating the development of fetlock ankylosis and infection control over 13 months. Firstly, seven screws associated with surgical drainage were replaced and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and local antibiotics were placed into the surgical site to accelerate bone fusion at postoperative month 7. Further six screws, along with drainage, were removed at postoperative month 10. The plate and screws were removed from the limb due to the progression of bone fusion at postoperative month 13; BMP-2 and local antibiotics were also used. Delayed healing of arthrodesis due to surgical site infection and implant instability were treated by implant removals and antibiotic therapies, and the horse eventually showed improved weight-bearing ability of the affected limb.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate stress fracture of vascularized fibular grafts(VFG) by analyzing factors associated with stress fracture and the treatment results. Materials and Methods : From June 1985 to May 1998, 7 patients with stress fractures in the 38 patients with long bone defect who had vascularized fibular graft were evaluated with clinical and radiologic methods including grafted fibular length and hypertrophic index of de Boer. The average age of the patients was 35 years(range, $14{\sim}60$ years). The mean follow-up period was 20 months(range, $16{\sim}32$ months). Results: 7(18.4%) stress fractures occurred in 38 patients. Characteristics of the fractures were (1) all occurred at lower extremity of male patients treated with VFG for long bone defected caused by infected nonunion; (2) all occurred 10 months at the average(range, $4{\sim}17$ months) after VFG; and (3) the length and hypertrophic index of grafted fibula had no influence on the incidence of stress fracture. Union was obtained in 3 patients by conservative treatment. 4 patients obtained union by internal fixation; one at immediately onset of fracture; and three after failure of conservative treatment who had fracture around the knee joint. Conclusion : Stress fracture may occur during the first one year after vascularized fibular graft and more attention must be paid for prevention of it, especially in the cases of infected nonunion. Stress fracture around the knee joint was expected to lead to a good result of early union by operative treatment.

Objective : Although trunk muscles in the lumbar spine preserve spinal stability and motility, little is known about the relationship between trunk muscles and spinal fusion rate. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the correlation between trunk muscles cross sectional area (MCSA) and fusion rate after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) using stand-alone cages. Methods : A total of 89 adult patients with degenerative lumbar disease who were performed PLIF using stand-alone cages at L4-5 were included in this study. The cross-sectional area of the psoas major (PS), erector spinae (ES), and multifidus (MF) muscles were quantitatively evaluated by preoperative lumbar magnetic resonance imaging at the L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 segments, and bone union was evaluated by dynamic lumbar X-rays. Results : Of the 89 patients, 68 had bone union and 21 did not. The MCSAs at all segments in both groups were significantly different (p<0.05) for the PS muscle, those at L3-4 and L4-5 segments between groups were significantly different (p=0.048, 0.021) for the ES and MF muscles. In the multivariate analysis, differences in the PS MCSA at the L4-5 and L5-S1 segments remained significant (p=0.048, 0.043 and odds ratio=1.098, 1.169). In comparison analysis between male and female patients, most MCSAs of male patients were larger than female's. Fusion rates of male patients (80.7%) were higher than female's (68.8%), too. Conclusion : For PLIF surgery, PS muscle function appears to be an important factor for bone union and preventing back muscle injury is essential for better fusion rate.

February 1995 to September 1999, authors have experienced seven cases of infected nonunion of tibial fractures with associated soft tissue injury and skin defect, and have accomplished union in all cases by free vascularized fibular graft. All grafts healed with no radiographic evidence of bone necrosis or resorption and have been able to treat large bony defect and skin defect simultaneously. In this study, five cases of vascularized free fibular osteocutaneous flap transfer and two cases of free fibular graft are reported. All of seven cases were infected nonunion of tibia. The results were obtained as follows 1) The mean duration of the radiologic bone union was average 5.3months. 2) Grafted fibular has been hypertrophied, average 10.6 months. 3) In five cases of preservation of posterior cortex of tibia, bony union and hypertrophy of grafted bone were earlier than that two cases of complete segmental resection of tibia. 4) In two cases which only free vascularized fibular graft were performed because achievement of cutaneous flap was failed, authors found that soft tissue defect was filled with granulation tissue and split-thickness skin graft was possible over the granulation tissue after 3 weeks postoperatively.

Purpose: To evaluate the result of muscle free flap transplantation in chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia and calcaneus occurred from open fractures and exposed bones and internal fixatives. Materials and Methods: The free muscle flap were transferred in the tibia and calcaneus and followed up average 7.3 years at the department of orthopedic surgery from March 1997 to September 2009. Six patients were male and 1 case female averaged 50.3 years of age. Two latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flaps were transplanted to the exposed 2/3 of the tibia with soft tissue defect, one rectus abdominis muscle free flap to the mid 1/3 of the tibia and four gracilis muscle free flaps to the distal 1/3 of the tibia and calcaneus. Results: At average 7.2 years follow-up, all of the 7 cases obtained solid bone union in the X-ray and kept sound soft tissues without pus discharges. The overall result of bone union, healed soft tissues defect and normal knee and ankle joint range of motion were excellent. Conclusion: The free muscle flap transferred to the chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia and calcaneus showed excellent results in bone union and eradication of the pus forming bacteria by its abundant blood flow.
