1983년 2월부터 1993년 5월까지 저자들이 interlocking IM nail정을 이용하여 치료한 경골 골절을 평균 14개월 추시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 총 38례 중 37례에서 골유합을 이루어 97.3%의 골유합율은 보였으며 평균골유합기간은 18.7주였다. 2. 금속정의 사용 범위는 경골 간부 및 근위부나 원위부 골절에서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 3. interlocking nail은 심한 분쇄성 골절, 개방성 골절, 골소실이 있는 개방성 골절 동에서 견고한 고정을 얻을 수 있었다. 4. 불유합 및 지연유합된 경우 모두 골유합을 이루어 나사못 맞물림을 이용한 금속정 고정법은 경골 간부 골절에서 훌륭한 치료법으로 생각된다. 5. 가장 중요한 합병증은 Valgus 각형성 2례 및 varus 1례와 심부감염 1례 등이었다. 6. 금속정은 고정력이 견고하여 조기 관절운동 및 보행이 가능하여 관절 강직이나 근위축을 방지할 수 있었다.

목적: 상완골 경부의 불유합에 대한 치료로 Polarus 골수정을 이용한 수술적 치료 방법의 임상적, 방사선학적 치료 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 상완골 외과적 경부골절의 불유합으로 수술적 치료를 받은 환자 8명을 대상으로 하였다. 모두 여성 환자였으며, 평균 연령은 65세였다. 8예 중 5예는 1차 수술적 치료후 불유합 환자로 1차적 치료로는 관혈적 정복술 후 금속판 내고정 1예, Ender 정 삽입 2예, 외고정 1예 및 도수 정복술 후 경피적 핀 고정 1예였으며, 3예는 보존적 치료 후의 불유합 환자였다. 불유합 기간은 1차적 수술을 받은 환자군에서 약 9개월(범위 $3.5{\sim}14.8$개월), 수술을 받지 않았던 환자군에서 6.2개월(범위 $3{\sim}7.8$개월)이었다. 수술적 치료로는 8예 모두에서 Polarus 골수정을 이용한 내고정 및 자가장골 이식술을 시행하였다. 골유합은 방사선학적 소견으로 판정하였으며, 기능적 평가는 University of california at Los Angeles(UCLA) 견관절 평가 지수를 사용하였다. 결과: 8례 모두에서 방사선학적 골유합을 얻었다. 골유합까지의 평균 기간은 3.5개월이었으며, 평균 추시 기간은 27개월이었다. UCLA 견관절 평가지수는 수술 전 평균 7.6(범위 $6{\sim}9$)점에서 수술 후 평균 26.3(범위 $10{\sim}33$)점으로 향상되었으며, 견관절의 능동적 굴곡은 수술 전 40.7도(범위 $20{\sim}60$도)에서 수술 후 104도(범위 $50{\sim}160$도)로 증가하였으며, 견관절의 능동적 외전은 수술 전 32.9도(범위 $20{\sim}60$도)에서 수술 후 96.3도(범위 $60{\sim}120$도)로 역시 증가하였다. UCLA functional criteria는 양호(Good) 5예, 보통(Fair) 3예였으며, 불량(poor)에 해당하는 환자는 없었다. 결론: 고령 환자의 상완골 경부 불유합의 치료로서 Polarus 골수정 및 자가장골 이식술을 이용한 내고정술은 골유합과 기능의 향상에 있어 유용한 치료방법으로 생각된다.

Purpose: To report the postoperative Clinical and Radiological outcomes following distal femoral fractures in elderly patients compared with young patients. Methods: From March, 1996 to March, 2012, 83 patients who received surgical treatment for fractures of the distal femur were enrolled in this retrospective study. Ages more than 65 was named group A. Group A was 49 cases and mean age is 72.5 year(65~91year). Group B was 49 cases and mean age is 45.7 year(16~61 year). Surgical methods are retrograde IM nail, locking compression plate, cannulated screw and postoperative rehabilitation is no difference between two groups. Clinical results were evaluated using Neer scores, radiographic results and the presence of clinical complications. Results: The mean union period was 18.4(12-40) weeks in group A and 17(10-24) weeks in group B. Neer functional scores are no significant statistical difference between two groups. There are 5 cases metal breakage in group A and 1case in group B. There are 3 cases nonunion in group A and 1 case in group B. Conclusion: In the case of fractures of the distal femur in elderly patients, locking plate using minimally invasive percutaneous periosteal osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique may be one of the most effective methods and preoperative bone stock evaluation in important.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on a patient suffering from CRPS Type 1. Methods : A 30-year-old female patient suffering from CRPS Type 1 with symptoms of intense burning pain, joint stiffness, restricted mobility, rapid hair and nail growth, allodynia, hyperalgesia and coldness of the right leg was treated with acupuncture on six acupuncture points on the leg from 13 July to 18 July of 2011. Improvement of the patient's symptoms was evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), Digital Infrared Thermographic Image(DITI). Results : After 6 days of treatment, NRS score decreased significantly and the DITI results showed moderate improvement in temperature. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture may be an effective in reducing the symptoms of CRPS. Further study is needed to evaluate the significancy of this report.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to apply the contents of "WaHyul(訛穴 : The errors of acupoint locations"of "ChimGuKyungHumBang" to modern acupoint locations. Methods : The text of "WaHyul" was closely examined and analyzed. "WHO standard acupuncture point locations in the western pacific region" was reviewed based on its contents. Results : According to the analysis, the correct 少商(LU11) was mentioned as a spot appropriately distanced from the corner of the nail root under the skin. This is the most accurate and reasonable synthesis of other related texts. Furthermore, the necessity of defining the locations of all the well points was also emphasized and their locations were mentioned that could be located by the same method. There is no further discussion of other acupoints apart from descriptions of their locations from other texts. Some parts that were pointed out as common errors included not only commonly made mistakes, but errors made in acupuncture texts as were true for 神門(HT7) and 肩井(GB21). The standards of 少商(LU11), 合谷(LI4) and 足三里(ST36) presented in the WHO Standardization are not only similar to what 「WaHyul」 indicated as errors in acupoint locations, but also deviate other acupuncture texts; appropriate corrections must be made. The standard of 肩井(GB21) presents a new acupoint locating method never mentioned before in received classic acupuncture texts and so a rediscussion is in need. Other standards, such as the 絶骨(GB39), had some points of controversy, yet somewhat incomplete while HT7 did not go beyond the bounds of "WaHyul". Conclusions : "WaHyul" can be used to revise WHO standards, and has practical value in modern acupoint locating.
