Traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF) with accompanying odontoid and C2 articular facet fracture is a very rare injury, and only one such case has been reported in the medical literature. We present here a case of a traumatic AARF associated with an odontoid and comminuted C2 articular facet fracture, and this was treated with skull traction and halo-vest immobilization for 3 months. After removal of the halo-vest immobilization, his neck pain was improved and his neck motion was preserved without any neurologic deficits although mild torticolis was still observed in closer inspection.

Ipsilateral fractures of proximal femur with shaft and condylar region are very rare. Current concept of management is based on fixation of each fracture as independent entity using separate fixation modalities for proximal and distal parts of femur. However, we considered that antegrade femoral nailing with cephalomedullary screw fixation is a good option for ipsilateral multi-level femoral fractures. Here, we present an experience of satisfactory treatment for ipsilateral femoral neck fracture, subtrochanteric fracture, comminuted shaft fracture with supracondylar fracture following road traffic accident.

The reaction-sintered alumina and zirconia-alumina ceramics having low firing shrinkage were prepared from the Al/Al2O3 or Al/ZrO2(Ca-PSZ) powder mixtures via the attrition milling. And in this milling process the effect of the characteristics of used powders was investigated. Attrition milling was much more effective in reducing the particle size of ceramic/metal mixed powders than ball milling. Powder mixtures of flake-type Al with coarse alumina was much more effectively comminuted by the attrition milling than the mixtures of globular-type Al with coarse alumina powders. And coarse alumina than fine alumina was much more beneficial in cutting and reducing the ductile Al particles. In the contrary to Al/Al2O3 powder mixtures, Al/ZrO2 powder mixtures was not effectively comminutd. But whether using the alumina ball media or attrition milled with Al2O3 powder rather than Al, the milling efficiency was much more increased.

There may be complications after comminuted or intraarticular calcaneal fracture regardless of the initial treatment. Transcalcaneal talonavicular dislocation is rarely reported severe form of calcaneal fracture. We experienced a neglected transcalcaneal talonavicular subluxation case, who had been treated for intraarticular calcaneal fracture conservatively. Subtalar distraction bone block fusion was done for calcaneal malunion with talonavicular subluxation. Inspite of successful subtalar fusion, pain was persisted because of talonavicular re-subluxation with arthritis and calcaneocuboid arthritis. So, second operation, the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid fusion, was done. After union achieved, the patient's foot pain was improved. Calcaneal malunion combined with talonavicular subluxation and unstable transverse tarsal joint, such as this case, initial triple arthrodesis could be considered.

In this paper, we explain new EM(electromagnetic) wave absorber that mixed NC (Natural Ceramics) and Ferrite with NL(Natural Lacquer). At first, a mixed NC and Ferrite(NC : F = (0.1~30)wt% : (99.9~70)wt%) bum at 95$0^{\circ}C$~125$0^{\circ}C$. And then, it is comminuted and injected into NL((NC+F) . NL = (30~80)wt% (70~20)wt%), finally we made Ferrite-NL EM wave absorber. Generally, conventional labor Ferrite covers only 500 MHz to 10 GHz under tolerance limits of 2 to 6 dB in absorption, and Ferrite-NL is over 8 ~ 14 dB. However, NCFerrite-NL huts superior absorption ability. It is over 16 to 19 dB through 500 MHz to 10 GHz.

A 2-month-old, 50 kg male Korean native calf was referred with bilateral mandibular fractures. The bilateral mandible was hanging loose, with inability to use the jaw, indicated by excessive salivation. Radiography revealed a long oblique fracture in the right mandible, and a short oblique fracture in the left mandible. Computerized Tomography, a different form of radiography, revealed the fracture in the left mandible to be a comminuted fracture. In order to stabilize the bilateral mandible fractures, a combination of bone plate and wiring was applied; in addition, resin was applied to enhance stabilization of the mandible. Six weeks after surgery, the calf was able to masticate and ruminate well. In this case, application of the plate and wiring with resin to bilateral mandibular fractures presented a successful functional recovery. Accordingly, the combination of bone plate and wiring with resin can be an effective technique for treating mandibular fractures.

목적: 이번 연구 목적은 쇄골 간부 복합 골절에서 21G 환 강선으로 골편 고정 후 재건 금속판을 이용한 내고정술 시 영상학적 및 임상적 결과를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년에서 2019년 사이에 발생한 쇄골 간부 골절 환자 51명 중 최소한의 연부조직 박리를 통한 21G 환 강선으로 골편 고정 후 재건 금속판을 이용한 내고정술을 시행한 환자 32명과 강선을 사용하지 않고 수술한 환자 19명에 대한 후향적 코호트 연구를 시행하였다. 방사선 검사를 통해 정복 및 골유합을 확인하였고, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) 점수와 visual analogue scale (VAS) 통증 점수를 통해 두 군 간의 임상적 결과와 방사선적 결과를 비교하였다. 이를 바탕으로 환 강선을 사용하지 않고 수술한 환자를 대조군으로 설정하여 두 군 간의 골유합의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 32명의 환자를 대상으로 평균 65주간의 추시관찰을 하였고, 대조군의 경우 19명의 환자를 대상으로 평균 56주간의 추시 관찰을 하였다. 방사선 검사상 32명 환자 모두에서 해부학적 정복 및 골유합을 확인하였다. UCLA 점수는 평균 32.38점, 대조군 33.11점(p=0.395), VAS 점수는 평균 1.00점, 대조군 0.84점으로(p=0.668) 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다. 대조군과 비교하였을 때 골유합 시기의 차이에 통계적 유의성이 있었으나(p=0.015) 다른 변수를 통제하였을 때는 통계적으로 유의성이 없음을 알 수 있었다(p=0.107). 결론: 전위성 쇄골 간부 복합 골절에 대해 21G 강선 및 재건 금속판을 이용한 내고정술은 정확한 해부학적 정복과 견고한 내고정을 유지할 수 있었고, 환 강선을 통해 작은 골편도 고정할 수 있었다. 방사선 및 임상 결과에서 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 재건 금속판 및 21G 강선을 이용한 내고정술이 수술적 치료의 좋은 선택이 될 수 있다고 생각된다.

Purpose: Most proximal humeral fractures are minimally displaced and can be treated satisfactorily with a conservative method. But in many comminuted fractures, hemiarthroplasty is usually done as a primary treatment. The authors evaluated how much functional improvement was achieved after hemiarthroplasty and which factors influence on the final functional results. Materials and Methods: Eleven hemiarthroplasties were performed for three- and four-part fractures(including fracture-dislocation) between April 1992 and June 1999. There were eight women and three men, and the mean age was 65 years. According to Neer classification, six was three-part fracture and five was four-part fracture. Six patients were injured on their right shoulder and five on the left shoulder. Among the five four-part fractures, three had axillary nerve injury and among the six three-part fractures, only one patient had axillary nerve injury. The average follow-up period was 2.4 years(1 year-7 years) after operation. The functional results were evaluated with the UCLA scoring system(Modification for hemiarthroplasty). In addition to the overall results, we compared the results according to the classification of the fracture, the cause of injury, and whether the axillary nerve was injured. Results: At the last follow-up, average total UCLA score was 18.2. The mean score for pain was 7.0, mean muscle power and motion score was 5.5 and 5.7 respectively. The pain relief was more satisfactory than any other functional results. The average score for three-part fractures was 22, and the average for four-part fractures was 13.6. The average score for the patients fractured by vehicle accidents was 15.3, and 19.3 for the patients fractured by slip-down injury. In patients without axillary nerve injury, the average score was 20, and with axillary nerve injury, the score was 15. Conclusion: Shoulder hemiarthroplasty, for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures, cannot restore the shoulder function to normal, but can achieve the functional result to some degree, especially for the activity of daily living. And as for pain, we think that it is relatively effective measure. And we think that the severer the comminution, the more the chance of axillary nerve injury, and the poorer the functional results. In conclusion, the severity of initial injury seems to be the major prognostic factor.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefullness of polarus nailing in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures including 2 part, 3 part and proximal comminuted fractures. Materials and methods: Fifteen cases of proximal humerus fracture treated with Polarus nailing from March, 2002 to March, 2004 were selected. Man was 3 cases, and woman was 11 cases. There were one case of follow up loss due to decease. Average age was 60 years old (range, 23 to 84), and there were 6 cases of 2 part fracture, 3 cases of proximal segmental fracture, 5 cases of 3 part fracture. We analyzed the outcom results between 2 part fracture and 3 part fracture. The average follow up period after the operation was 1.5(range, 1 to 2) years. Range of motion (ROM), pain and functional outcome were evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS) and american shoulder and elbow surgery (ASES) activity of daily living (ADL) functional scoring system. Results: All cases showed union on radiologic evaluation, with 2.3 months follow up. In 5 cases of 3 part fracture, average union time was 1.9 months regardless of proximal screw loosening in 4 cases. In 2 part fracture union time was 2.2 months (P>0.05). VAS pain score was 1.3, ROM was $160^{\circ}$ in forward flexion, $40^{\circ}$ in external rotation, L3 level in internal rotation, and ASES, ADL functional score was 21 in 2 part fracture. VAS pain score was 1.25, ROM was $160^{\circ}$, $43^{\circ}$ and L1 level, and ASES, ADL functional score was 21 in 3 part fracture. There were no statistically significant difference between two groups (P>0.05) VAS pain score was 1.6, ROM was $170^{\circ}$, $47^{\circ}$ and L3 level, and ASES, ADL functional score was 23 in proximal comminuted fracture. Conclusion: Polarus nailing could be used as an effective modality in certain cases of proximal humeral fracture including 2 part, proximal segmental and in cases of 3 part fractures with large greater tuberosity fragment.
