Avulsion of the triceps brachii is an uncommon injury. The usual mechanism of injury is fall onto an outstretched hand but can occur after direct contact injuries. Diagnosis is critical and dependent on history, physical examination, and radiological findings. Rupture of triceps brachii occurs most frequently at the tendo-osseous insertion and may be complete or partial, and could be associated with radial head fracture. Treatments include surgical repair of the complete rupture and immobilization of partial triceps rupture. We report 3 cases of triceps avulsion fractures treated by open surgical repair with literature reviews.

외상으로 인한 횡격막 파열과 그로 인한 신장 이탈은 드문 현상이며, 더욱이 신장 이탈시 신장 다리(renal pedicle)가 완전히 찢어지는 현상은 매우 드물게 발생하며 응급 수술을 시행하지 않으면 생명이 위험할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 외상성 횡격막 파열과 함께 흉강 내 혈관과 요관이 완전히 찢어진 상태로 신장이 탈출한 1예를 경험하였기에 간단한 문헌 고찰과 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Scalp avulsion is a life-threatening injury that may cause trauma to the forehead, eyebrows, and periauricular tissue. It is difficult to treat scalp avulsion as it may lead to severe bleeding. Therefore, emergency scalp replantation surgery is necessary, and we must consider the function, aesthetics, and psychology of the patients. A case of scalp avulsion leading to massive bleeding was encountered by these authors, which led to a failure to achieve the proper operation conditions in an adequate time period. Methods: A 49-year-old female was hospitalized due to having had her head caught in a rotatory machine, causing complete scalp avulsion which included the dorsum of the nose, both eyebrows, and ears. Emergent microsurgical replantation was performed, where a superficial temporal artery and a vein were anastomosed, but the patient's vital signs were too unstable for further operation due to excessive blood loss. Three days after the microanastomosis, venous congestion developed at the replanted scalp, and a medicinal leech was used. Leech therapy resolved the venous congestion. A demarcation then developed between the vitalized scalp tissue and the necrotized area. Debridement was performed 2 times on the necrotized scalp area. Finally, split-thickness skin graft with a dermal acellular matrix ($Matriderm^{(R)}$) was performed on the defective areas, which included the left temporal area, the occipital area, and both eyebrows. Results: The forehead, vertex, right temporal area, and half of the occipital area were successfully replanted, and the hair at the replanted scalp was preserved. As stated above, two-thirds of the scalp survived; the patient could cover the skin graft area with her hair, and could wear a wig. Conclusion: Complete scalp avulsion needs emergent replantation with microsurgical revascularization, but it often leads to serious vital conditions. We report a case with acceptable results, although the microanastomosed vessel was minimal due to the patient's unstable vital signs.

A 8 months old female dog with the combination of a fracture of the proximal tibia (Salter-Harris type I) with an avulsion of the tibial tuberosity was repaired with cross intramedullary pin for proximal tibial physeal fracture, and intramedullary pin combined with tension band wire for avulsion fracture of tibial tuberosity, resulted in complete healing. At 45 days after operation, on the radiological views, there was premature closure of growth plate of proximal tibia and tibial tuberosity, but at 7 months no developing growing deformities.

In clinical practice, recurrent Achilles ruptures have been noted to occurr at the original ruptured site. However, reports of new developed fresh rupture of the Achilles tendon in other sites are is extremely rare. Our report is about one uncommon case of a traumatic calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture following augmented repair, which was performed using the Krackow locking loop technique. We performed open reduction and intra-osseous fixation using a suture anchor. This procedure was done through the primary longitudinal incision for the calcaneal avulsion fracture fragment. After 6 months of follow-up, our patient has achieved a complete functional recovery and he can normally perform daily and work-related tasks without pain.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical and radiological results of the operative treatment in the avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal. Materials and Methods: We studied retrospectively, 11 patients of avulsion fracture on the base of the fifth metatarsal operated and followed over 1 year, from February 2000 to May 2002. There were eight men and three women and the average age was 39 years old. The mean follow up period was 14 months. Ten cases were slip-down and one case was fall from a height injuries. We used the modified Foot Score by Wiener for the clinical evaluation, and analyzed the time of union and state of reduction radiologically. Results: In clinical results, we had ten excellent and one good cases by the modified Foot Score at last follow-up. In radiologic results, the complete bony union was achieved in all cases and the duration of the bony union was 37 days in average. Conclusion: We had good result for the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal treated by the operation. This study shows the operation was recommended for the moderate and severe displacement of the avulsion fractures on the base of the fifth metatarsal.

외상으로 인해 완전 탈구와 함입성 및 정출성 탈구가 병합되어 나타나는 경우는 드물다. 2003년 7월에 10세 2개월의 여아가 상악우측 측절치의 완전탈구와 상악우측 중절치의 함입성 탈구, 상악 좌측 중절치의 정출성 탈구로 전남대학교병원 소아치과에 내원하였다. 내원 당일 외상치아를 외과적으로 재위치시켰으며 레진 강선 고정을 시행하였다. 외상 2주 후 완전탈구된 상악우측 측절치는 근관치료를 시행하였다. 외상 3개월 후 방사선사진 상에 상악 좌우측 중절치의 치근 외흡수가 관찰되었으며 수산화칼슘을 이용한 근관치료를 시행한 후 치근 외흡수가 정지되었다. 1년 4개월 동안의 관찰기간 동안 병적인 변화 없이 양호한 결과를 보였으며 추후 장기적인 추적관찰이 필요하리라 사료된다.

Purpose: Avulsion injuries of digits have been presented for a long time as complex management problems. Despite of microsurgical advances, it is difficult to achieve good functional results and their management remains somewhat controversial. However, in a finger there are three transverse digital palmar arches. The middle and distal transverse digital palmar arches are consistently large(almost 1 mm) and may be used for arterial vessel repairs either proximally or distally, depending on the length and direction needed. 39-year-old man presented with avulsion amputation of the ulnar three digits, was operated using only arterial anastomosis with rerouting the transverse digital palmar arches. Methods: Replantation was performed using the artery-only technique. Because the digital arteries had been damaged, we did that the transverse digital palmar arches were transposed in an inverted Y to I configuration and were lengthened with rerouting them for the purpose of direct anastomosis of the digital artery. Venous drainage was provided by an external bleeding method with partial nail excision and external heparin irrigation. Results: The authors conclude that complete avulsion amputations with only soft tissue at the distal to insertion of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon were salvageable with acceptable functional results. All three fingers survived. Conclusion: With technical advancements, the transverse digital palmar arches play an important role for finger amputation. Three digital palmar arches give us additional treatment option for the finger amputation. In this case, replantation with only-arterial anastomosis was successful and we obtained good aesthetic and functional outcome.

Right-sided diaphragmatic rupture is less common and more difficult to diagnose than left-sided lesion. It is rarely combined with the herniation of the abdominal organs into the thorax. High level of suspicion is the key to early diagnosis, and a delay in diagnosis is implicated with a considerable risk of mortality and morbidity. We experienced a case of right-sided diaphragmatic rupture combined with complete avulsion of the right kidney and herniation of the liver into the thoracic cavity.

치아의 완전 탈구는 치조골에서 치아가 완전히 이탈된 것으로 정의되며, 결과적으로 신경혈관 공급의 중단을 야기하는 가장 심각한 치과적 손상 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 완전 탈구는 조직 허혈(tissue ischemia)을 야기하며, 이는 치수 괴사를 초래할 수 있다. 치근단형성술(apexification)은 치수 괴사로 진단된 미성숙 영구치에서 치근단 장벽을 유도하는 전통적인 치료 방법이다. 하지만 치근단형성술로는 치근 길이 및 두께의 증가를 포함하는 치근 발육을 얻을 수 없다. 본 증례는 완전 탈구되어 재식된 이후 치수 괴사로 진단된 치아를 가진 5세 환자에서 ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, cefaclor 및 CollaTape과 Biodentine을 이용하여 시행된 치수재생치료(regenerative endodontic treatment)의 임상적 및 방사선학적 결과를 다루고 있다.
