We peformed tendon transfer with a microvascular free flap for recovery of handicapped function and reconstruction for the skin and soft tissue loss. We review the clinical data of 11 children who underwent these operation due to injured foot by pedestrian accident from January, 1986 to June, 1994. The mean age of patients was 5.6 years old(3-8). Five cases underwent tendon transfer and microvascular free flap simultaneously. Another 6 cases underwent operations separately. The time interval between tendon trasnfer and microvascular free flap was average 5.6 months(2-15 months). The duration between initial trauma and tendon transfer was average 9.6 months(2-21 months). The anterior tibial tendon was used in 6 cases. Among these, the technique of splitting the anterior tibial tendon was used in 5 cases. The posterior tibial tendon was used in 3 cases and the extenosr digitorum longus tendon of the foot in 2 cases. Insertion sites of tendon transfer were the cuboid bone in 3 cases, the 3rd cuneiform bone in 3 cases, the 2nd cuneiform bone in 1 case, the base of 4th metatarsal bone in 1 case, and the remnant of the extensor hallucis longus in 3 cases. The duration of follow-up was average 29.9 months(12-102 months). The clinical results were analysed by Srinivian criteria. Nine cases were excellent and 2 cases were good. The postoperative complications were loosening of the tranferred tendon in 2 cases, plantar flexion contracture in 1 case, mild flat foot deformity in 1 case and hypertrophic scar in 2 cases. So we recommend the tendon transfer with a microvascular free flap in the case of injured foot of children combined with nerve injury and extensive loss of skin, soft tissue and tendon.

The treatment of open, traumatic intraarticular injuries to the metatarsophalangeal joint with severe articular comminution and cartilage defect of metatarsal head is a challenge to the foot surgeon. We report the joint reconstruction treating the injured joint by autogenic costal osteochondral graft with satisfactory outcome.

Fractures and fracture-dislocations of the ankle are caused by a variety of mechanisms. In addition to fractures, injuries of soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles may also occur. Among these, a tibialis posterior tendon injury is difficult to be identified due to swelling and pain at the fracture site. It is difficult to observe tibialis posterior tendon injury on a simple radiograph; it is usually found during surgery by accident. There are some studies regarding irreducible ankle fracture-dislocations due to interposition of the tibialis posterior tendon; however, to the best of our knowledge, there has not been any report about interposition of injured tibialis posterior tendon. Herein, we report a case of an irreducible fracture-dislocation of the ankle due to injured tibialis posterior tendon interposition that was observed intraoperatively, interrupting the reduction of ankle fracture-dislocation. We obtained satisfactory clinical result after reduction of the trapped tendon, fracture reduction, and internal fixation; therefore, we are willing to report this case with the consent of the patient. This study was conducted with an approval from the local Institutional Ethics Review Board.

전북대학교병원 정형외과에서 1992년 6월부터 1996년 5월까지 족부 손상 13례에 대하여 유리조직 이식술울 시행하고 만 1년이상 추시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1 손상 족부의 원인별로는 압궤손상이 9례, 족부 골수염 3례, 그리고 전기화상 1례 등 13례이었다. 2. 유리조직 이식술은 족배피판이 5례(38.5%), 박근 4례(30.7%), 복직근(15.4%), 고아배근피 이식술과 상환 피부판 이식술 각 1례 등 13례를 시행하였는데 부위별로는 족배부에 족배피판 4례와 박근 4례를 시행하였고, 발뒤꿈치의 후방에 광배근 피판 1례, 후외측에 족배피판 및 상완 피판 각 1례, 족부 후방과 족장부 동시 손상에 복직근 1례, 긔록 내측부 손상에 복직근 1례를 시행하였다. 2. 6례의 유리 근 이식술후 평균 20일만에 피부 이식술을 시행하였으며 괴사없이 도포되었다. 4. 유리조직 이시술을 시행한 13례 전례에서 생존하여, 6례에서 시행하였던 피부 이식술을 제외한 2차 술식없이 손상되었던 족부를 재건할 수 있었으며 유리조직의 신발신기 평가에서도 양호 이상의 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

In patients with diabetic foot, ulceration and amputation are the most serious consequences and can lead to morbidity and disability. Peripheral arterial sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and foot deformities are major causes of foot problems. Foot deformities, following autonomic and motor neuropathy, lead to development of over-pressured focal lesions causing the diabetic foot to be easily injured within the shoe while walking. Wound healing in these patients can be difficult due to impaired phagocytic activity, malnutrition, and ischemia. Correction of deformity or shoe modification to relieve the pressure of over-pressured points is necessary for ulcer management. Application of selective dressings that allow a moist environment following complete debridement of the necrotic tissue is mandatory. In the case of a large soft tissue defect, performance of a wound coverage procedure by either a distant flap operation or a skin graft is necessary. Patients with a Charcot joint should be stabilized and consolidated into a plantigrade foot. The bony prominence of a Charcot foot can be corrected by a bumpectomy in order to prevent ulceration. The most effective management of the diabetic foot is ulcer prevention: controlling blood sugar levels and neuropathic pain, smoking cessation, stretching exercises, frequent examination of the foot, and appropriate education regarding footwear.

Background Adipofascial flaps covered with a skin graft address the challenges involved in reconstructing dorsal foot defects. The purpose of this study was to describe a large adipofascial flap based on the perforators of the dorsalis pedis artery for large foot defects. Methods Twelve patients aged 5-18 years with large soft tissue defects of the dorsal foot due to trauma were treated with an extended dorsalis pedis adipofascial flap from May 2016 to December 2018. The flap was elevated from the non-injured half of the dorsum of the foot. Its length was increased by fascial extension from the medial or lateral foot fascia to the plantar fascia to cover the defect. All perforators of the dorsalis pedis artery were preserved to increase flap viability. The dorsalis pedis artery and its branches were kept intact. Results The right foot was affected in 10 patients, and the left foot in two patients. All flaps survived, providing an adequate contour and durable coverage with a thin flap. Follow-up lasted up to 2 years, and patients were satisfied with the results. They were able to wear shoes. Donor-site morbidity was negligible. Two cases each of partial skin graft loss and superficial necrosis at the tip of the donor cutaneous flap occurred and were healed by a dressing. Conclusions The hinged multiperforator-based extended dorsalis pedis adipofascial flap described herein is a suitable method for reconstructing dorsal foot defects, as it provides optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.

목적: 축구에 의해 발생한 전방 십자인대 파열 환자에서 손상의 기전을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 축구 도중에 발생한 전방 십자인대 파열이 된 환자 92명 중 손상 기전을 정확히 기억하는 환자 50명을 대상으로 하였다. 평균 연령은 27세로, 남자 47명, 여자 3명 이였다. 아마추어 및 프로 축구 선수는 15명이었고, 35명은 비선수였다. 수상 기전은 전화나 의무기록으로 조사하였다. 결과: 수상 기전은 접촉성 손상이 17명, 비접촉성 손상이 33명 이었고, 41명의 환자가 손상 당시 발이 지면에 접촉을 하였고, 9명은 지면에 접촉하지 않았다. 접촉성 손상에서 17명 중 9명에서 슬관절에 외반력, 5명에서 내반력이 가해졌고, 11명의 환자가 손상 당시 발이 지면에 접촉을 하였고, 6명은 발이 지면에 접촉하지 않았다. 발이 지면에 접촉된 상태에서 대퇴부의 회전에 의한 손상은 3명이었고, 과신전 손상은 1 명이었고, 감속 손상은 없었다. 비접촉성 손상에서 33명 중 30명의 환자가 손상 당시 발이 지면에 접촉을 하였고, 3명은 발이 지면에 접촉하지 않았다. 30명 중 대퇴부의 회전에 의한 손상은 16명이 있었고, 6명에서 슬관절에 외반력, 5명에서 내반력이 가해졌고, 과신전 손상은 5 명이었고, 감속 손상은 2명 이었다. 발이 지면에 접촉하지 않은 3명의 환자들은 킥을 할 때 손상을 받았다. 결론: 축구 선수에서 전방 십자인대 파열은 대부분(66%) 비접촉성이 원인이며, 발이 지면에 접촉되면서 상체가 회전되면서 발생했다. 접촉성인 경우 대부분(53%) 외측에서의 태클에 의한 외반력이 원인이었다.
