Objective : This consecutive retrospective study was designed to analyze and to compare the efficacy and outcomes of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using a fibular and femur allograft with anterior cervical plating. Methods : A total of 88 consecutive patients suffering from cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) who were treated with ACDF from September 2007 to August 2010 were enrolled in this study. Thirty-seven patients (58 segments) underwent anterior interbody fusion with a femur allograft, and 51 patients (64 segments) were treated with a fibular allograft. The mean follow-up period was 16.0 (range, 12-25) months in the femur group and 19.5 (range, 14-39) months in the fibular group. Cage fracture and breakage, subsidence rate, fusion rate, segmental angle and height and disc height were assessed by using radiography. Clinical outcomes were assessed using a visual analog scale and neck disability index. Results : At 12 months postoperatively, cage fracture and breakage had occurred in 3.4% (2/58) and 7.4% (4/58) of the patients in the femur group, respectively, and 21.9% (14/64) and 31.3% (20/64) of the patients in the fibular group, respectively (p<0.05). Subsidence was noted in 43.1% (25/58) of the femur group and in 50.5% (32/64) of the fibular group. No difference in improvements in the clinical outcome between the two groups was observed. Conclusion : The femur allograft showed good results in subsidence and radiologic parameters, and sustained the original cage shape more effectively than the fibular allograft. The present study suggests that the femur allograft may be a good choice as a fusion substitute for the treatment of cervical DDD.

Most simple bone cysts are found in the metaphysis of the long bone, such as proximal humerus or proximal femur. Appropriate treatment is aspiration of the cyst followed by instillation of methylprednisolone or curettage with bone graft. We experienced 1 case of the simple bone cyst of the metatarsal bone. This case was treated by curettage and inserting allograft into the defect.

Unicameral bone cysts are benign solitary lesions that occur in the first two decades of life and with a greater frequency in the humerus and femur. The cyst is usually asymptomatic unless a fracture or impending fracture is present. The traditional method of treating unicameral cysts has been curettage with bone graft or steroid injection. Also, pathologic fractures in the calcaneus, unlike in other bones, are reported especially in the children to be nonexistent. In general, closed treatment was recommended for most of the calcaneal fractures in children, but suggested open reduction when joint displacement was severe. We report a case of displaced intraarticular fracture of the calcaneus with unicameral bone cyst in a child treated by classic curettage, allograft and open reduction with screw fixation.

The results of treatment of eighteen lesions of fibrous dysplasia which of them seventeen lesions were treated with surgery were reviewed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University Hospital. We studied to evaluate the functional clinical results and the recurrence according to the type of disease, grafted bone, methods of treatment and location of lesion. We treated sixteen patients(five males and eleven females) and their mean age was 22.6 years. There was no association with skin pigmentation or dysfunction of endocrine system. Twelve patients had a monostotic pattern and four patients had a polyostotic pattern. Twelve lesions were treated with curettage and bone grafting and four lesions in the proximal femur were treated by internal fixation with curettage and bone grafting. One lesion was treated by en-bloc resection. There were eleven satisfactory results in twelve monostotic lesions and there were four satisfactory results in five polyostotic lesions, but the recurrence were four cases, respectively. The two unsatisfactory results were seen in two patients treated by autografting, but there were three recurrence of four lesions in autografting only, one of five in autografting and allografting, four of eight in allgrafting or xenografting. Four of six lesions in upper extremity were recurred after curettage and bone grafting and five of them showed satisfactory results. In pelvic and lower extremity lesions, the recurrence were occurred in two lesions after curettage and bone grafting and in two lesions after internal fixation and bone grafting. The recurrence does not always provide an unsatisfactory functional results and the recurrence showed higher rate in radiologic pattern of ground glass appearance with-out marginal sclerotic rim, but the recurrence according to grafted bone showed similar rates. Curettage and bone grafting is adequate for a symptomatic lesion and firm internal fixation is needed for a lesion in proximal femur. In use of grafted bone, xenograft or allograft may be preferable to autograft because of the disadvantage of autografting like a increased blood loss, prolonged operation times, etc.

Treatment of femoral bone defects continues to be a challenge in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA); therefore, meticulous preoperative evaluation of patients and surgical planning are required. This review provides a concise synopsis of the etiology, classification, treatment strategy, and prosthesis selection in relation to femoral bone loss in revision THA. A search of literature was conducted for identification of research articles related to classification of bone loss, management of femoral revision, and comparison of different types of stems. Findings of a thorough review of the included articles were as follows: (1) the Paprosky classification system is used most often when defining femoral bone loss, (2) a primary-length fully coated monoblock femoral component is recommended for treatment of types I or II bone defects, (3) use of an extensively porous-coated stem and a modular fluted tapered stem is recommended for management of types III or IV bone defects, and (4) use of an impaction grafting technique is another option for improvement of bone stock, and allograft prosthesis composite and proximal femoral replacement can be applied by experienced surgeons, in selected cases, as a final salvage solution. Stems with a tapered design are gradually replacing components with a cylindrical design as the first choice for femoral revision; however, further confirmation regarding the advantages and disadvantages of modular and nonmodular stems will be required through conduct of higher-level comparative studies.

Although autoclaved autogenous bone reconstruction is one of the established procedures, it may have some problems in bone regeneration and mechanical property. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of more biologic and anatomical reconstruction where allograft is not readily available. From Aug.1991 to Feb. 1996 the authors analyzed 32 cases of reconstruction with autogenous low heat treated bone. Autogenous graft sites were humerus 4, tibia 4, pelvis 9, and 15 femur. Average follow-up period was 23(range;12-51) months. There were 49 graft-host junctional sites. Diaphysis was 22, metaphysis 10, and flat bone 17. Average duration of healing for the 38 united sites was 7 months. Average union time for each anatomical area 8 months in 19 diaphysis, 12 months in 7 metaphysis, and 12.7 months in 12 flat bone(pelvis). Eleven nonunion sites consisted of 3 diaphysis(3/22), 3 metaphysis(3/10), and 5 flat bone(5/17). Complications other than nonunion were local recurrence(4), bone resorption(3), graft fracture(2), osteomyelitis(1), metal failure(2), and wound infection(1). Initial bone quality and stable fixation technique was important for union rate. Plate and screw is a good method for diaphyseal lesion. Metaphyseal and flat bone are weak area for rigid fixation and one stage augmentation with iliac bone graft can be a salvage procedure.

The purpose of this study is a comparative evaluation of range motion, especially extension deficit between the group of total patellectomy and that of intact patella, after reconstruction of the patellar tendon in the prosthetic replacement of a proximal tibia. Between 1990 and 1994, 15 patients who had a primary malignancy on proximal tibia were operated on. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Two patients were excluded because one had a deep infection treated with arthrodesis of the knee and the other was a composite allograft. The mean follow-up of the 13 patients was 27 months(15-47), including 10 osteosarcomas, 1 chondrosarcoma, 1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma and 1 malignant giant cell tumor. Eleven patients had a resection of the proximal tibia and 2 had an extracapsular total knee resection with distal femur. Reconstruction of the defect was done in 8 cases with a custom-made Link Endo-Model Total Rotation Knee Joint Prosthesis, and in 5 with How Medica Modular Resection System (HMRS). We used two methods to reconstruct the ligamentum patellae. Fixation of the patellar tendon to the prosthesis only with suturing and/or stapling(group SS) was done in 7. Transposition of gastrocnemius muscle to enhance fixation and to cover the prosthesis(group TG) was done in 6. Regardless of fixation methods, total patellectomy was done in 5 either to lengthen the patellar tendon or to make primary skin closure easier or for both. In 8 cases, patella was left intact or resurfaced with polyethylene prosthesis. Active extension was measured while the patient was in a sitting position. There is no statistically meaningful difference in terms of extension deficit (Wilcoxon rank test, p=0.8800) between patellectomy group and intact patella group, and between group of fixation only with suturing and that of gastrocnemius transposition. Two cases of extension deficit over 30 degree were seen in group SS and in the group of intact patella. Conclusively, total patellectomy could be an option without increasing the risk of extension deficit when primary skin closure is difficult or patellar tendon is a little bit short to be fixed. There is no rating in the Enneking system of functional evaluation that this finding into consideration.

악성 골종양의 사지 구제술이 보편화 되었으나 슬관절 주위의 골육종환자 중 예상되는 하지부동이 5 cm 이상 되는 경우의 재건 술식의 선택은 아직 논란이 많다. 양측 골단판 중 하나를 희생하는 것이 불가피한 미성숙 소아의 슬관절 주위 악성골종양에서 가장 이상적인 재건술은; 1)인접 골 단판을 손상하지 않고, 2)가동관절을 유지할 수 있으며, 3) 일차술식이 추후 하지 연장술에 방해가 되지 않아야 할 것으로 생각된다. 저자들은 4세 원위 대퇴골 간부 골육종을 분절절제술 후 저온 열처리 자가골 재삽입술로 재건하였다. 술 후 6개월에 대퇴골 과 열처리 자가골 근위부의 불유합, 열처리 자가골의 흡수 및 파괴 와 내고정물의 해리가 발생하여 환자의 근위 대퇴골을 동종골 간단부에 안착시키는 술식을 이용하여 3개월 만에 근위부 골유합을 얻었으며 기능적 결과도 양호하여 보고하고자 한다.

인체골 4 시편(specimen)과 돼지 경골 25쌍을 이용하여, 생체골의 열전도성 측정과 열처리후 열처리온도와 시간에 따른 골의 염전력을 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 인체골에 있어서 골수강을 제거하지 않고 $60^{\circ}C$의 항온식염수에서 열처리하면, 골심부의 온도가 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $58^{\circ}C$에 도달하는데 소요된 시간은 경골근위부가 32분 50초, 대퇴골 원위부가 30.분, $80^{\circ}C$ 항온조에서는 경골근위부가 12분 50초, 대퇴골 원위부가 11분 10초 소요되었다. 돼지 경골간부의 피질골내부(endosteum)에 열전대를 부착하고 뼈 양끝을 밀봉하여 같은 실험을 행한 결과 $50^{\circ}C$까지는 시간에 비례해서 일정한 비율로 온도상승이 이루어 졌으며, $20^{\circ}C$에서 $58^{\circ}C$에 이르는 시간이 $60^{\circ}C$ 항온조에서는 7분, $70^{\circ}C$에서는 3분 30초, $80^{\circ}C$에서는 2분이었다. 따라서 임상에서 골수강을 제거 후 장골의 간부(shaft) 만을 항온조에 달굴때는 골구강내에도 데워진 심염수로 가득차게 되므로 상기 시간의 절반이 못되는 짧은 시간내에 피질골의 내부가 $58^{\circ}C$에 이르리라고 판단되었다. 골수강을 소파하지 않은 돼지 경골을 각각 4쌍씩 우측만을 $60^{\circ}C$ 35분, $80^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리한 후 실험군의 최대염전력은 대조군과 비교할 때 +7.0%, -5.1%, -3.2%, -4.2%의 변화가 있었고, $80^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리후는 -4.3%, -3.8%, -1.4%(1예는 실험 오류로 제외됨)의 변화가 있었다. 골수강을 완전 제거한 되재 경골을 각각 4쌍씩 우측만을 $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$에서 15분 열처리 후 실험군의 최대염전력은 대조군과 비교할 때 -3.4%, -4.2%, -0.7%, +2.7%의 변화가 있었고, $70^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리후는 -2.8%, -3.9%, -2.1%(1예는 실험 오류로 제외됨)의 변화가 있었으며, $80^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리후는 +5.2%, -4.4%, -2.9%, -0.3%의 염전력 변화가 있었다. 그러므로 골수강을 제거하지 않고 $80^{\circ}C$ 35분, $60^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리 하거나, 골수강을 완전소파 후 $60^{\circ}C$ 15분, $70^{\circ}C$ 15분, $80^{\circ}C$ 15분 열처리해서는 각군사이에 염전력의 유의한 차이는없었다. 이상의 결과로 돼지 경골의 경우 $60^{\circ}C$ 항온에서는 35분까지, $80^{\circ}C$이하의 항온에서는 15분까지 열처리하여도 골강도에는 거의 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다.

목적: 장골에서는 드물게 보고되어 있는 낭종성 섬유성 이형성증(cystic fibrous dysplasia)의 임상적, 방사선학적, 병리학적 소견과 더불어 단순 소파술과 골이식술의 결과를 기술하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2003년 3월까지 가톨릭 의과대학 3개 부속병원에서 섬유성 이형성증으로 치료받은 98명의 환자 중 커다란 낭종성 변화를 동반한 11명을 대상으로 하였다. 전례에서 단순 골소파술, 동종골 이식술 및 내고정술을 시행하였다. 6명은 남자였고, 5명은 여자였으며, 환자의 나이는 20세에서 46세로, 평균 36.7세였다. 결과: 6명은 수개월 이상 통증을 호소했으며, 4명은 사소한 외상 후에 발생한 통증을 호소하였다. 1명에서는 병적 골절이 발생했다. 10명의 환자는 단골성(monostotic) 이었고, 1명의 환자는 다골성(polyostotic) 이었다. 병변의 발생부위는 7예에서 대퇴골, 3예에서 상완골 그리고 1예에서는 요골이었다. 단순방사선 사진 상 간유리 음영과 더불어 보여지는 현저한 용해성 병변을 보였고, 자기공명영상에서는 섬유성 이형성증을 시사하는 신호강도와 낭종을 의미하는 신호강도가 동시에 보였다. 조직학적으로는 전형적인 섬유성 이형성증 소견과 더불어 비 특이적인 낭종성 변성 변화를 보였다. 최종 추시 관찰시 국소재발 없이 모두 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 결론: 장골의 낭종성 섬유성 이형성증은 지금까지 보고된 것처럼 드물지 않은 것으로 사료된다. 자기공명영상으로 양성 낭종성 변화와 악성 변화를 쉽게 구분할 수 있으나, 비 특이적 낭종성 변성변화와 동맥류성 골낭종을 구분하기 위해 조직검사가 필요하다. 낭종성 섬유성 이형성증은 수술적 치료의 대상이며, 단순 골소파술 및 동종골 이식술은 효과적인 치료로 사료된다.
