Radiation synovectomy is one of the most useful methods for treating patients with refractory synovitis because of its convenience, long-term effects, repeatability and the avoidance of surgery. In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution of a rhenium-188 ($^{188}$Re)-tin colloid to evaluate its suitability as a synovectomy agent. Twenty four hours after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (74 KBq/0.1 mL) into the tail vein of ICR mice, most of the $^{188}$Retin colloidal particles was found in the lungs. In addition, there were no particle size changes at either room temperature or at $37^{\circ}C$ after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids in human plasma and synovial fluid. In vitro stability tests showed that the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid remained in a colloidal form without a critical size variation over a 2-day period. We investigated the leakage of $^{188}$Retin colloids from the intraarticular injection site with gamma counting in New Zealand white rabbits. The $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (55.5 MBq/0.15 mL) were injected at the cavum articular and the mean retention percentage of the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid was 98.7% for 1 day at the injection site, which suggests that there was neither change in the particle size nor leakage at the injection sites. In the biodistribution study with the SD rats, the liver showed the highest radioactivity (0.0427% ID/organ) except for the injected knees (99.49%). In the SD rats, mild toxicities including the skin or a synovium inflammation were observed as a result of a radioactivity of 15 mCi/kg at the intraarticular injection site. However, there was no systemic toxicity. In the Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced arthritic rabbits, the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid improved the macroscopic, the histological score and reduced the knee joint diameter when compared to the arthritic control. In conclusion, a $^{188}$Re-tin-colloid is considered as a strong candidate for radiation synovectomy with a superior efficacy and safety.

지금까지의 내용을 요약하면 먼저, 인체의 각 관절 주위에는 관절의 움직임과 위치를 파악하는 감지기 역할을 하는 기계적 감수기가 있다. 이러한 감수기는 크게 네가지로 구분되어지는데 대개 I 형 감수기, II 형 감수기 등의 용어를 사용한다. 각각의 감수기의 특성(표 2.)을 알아보면, 루피니(Ruffini)감각기와 유사한 모양을 하고 있는 I 형 관절감수기는 주로 운동의 속도(speed)와 방향(direction)을 감지(detection)하며, 파시니안(Pacinian)감각기와 유사한 형태를 하고 있는 II 형 관절감수기는 매우 작은 움직임에 대한 감지를 하는데, 예를 들어 속도가 가속(acceleration)되는 것과 같은 움직임 등을 알아낸다. 이외에 골지건과 비슷한 모습을 하고 있는 II 형 관절감수기는 운동의 자세(position)와 방향에 대한 정보를 전달하게 된다. 관절의 자세 유지 혹은 안정성 즉, 정적(static) 운동에 주로 관여하는 I 형 관절감수기와, 역동적(dynamic)인 운동에 감지를 주로하는 II 형 관절감수기는 진동(oscillation)자극에 잘 촉진된다. 이러한 자극은 동통이 심하게 발생된 관절에 나타나는 근육의 과긴장(hypertonicity)과 동통을 경감시킬 수 있다. III 형 관절감수기는 억제(inhibitory)감수기라 할수 있는데, 골지건(Golgi tendon organ)의 기능과 매우 관련이 깊다. 이 감수기는 관절의 가동범위를 기계적인 자극으로 증가시키기 위해 관절의 가동 끝범위에서 강한 신장(strong stretch)이나 thrust 기술로 감수기를 촉진할 수 있다. 이러한 자극은 결국 근육에 이완을 얻게 할 수 있다. 위에서 언급한 관절 주위의 조직에 분포한 특별한 기계적 감지를 환자들의 임상 중상에 따라 선택적으로 자극하는 치료를 적용할 수 있다면, 현재 물리치료사들이 적용하고 있는 관절 가동운동을 좀 더 전문적인 수준으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

Comminuted fracture of the distal end of the humerus in adults is very rare and difficult to treat. In operative treatment, an implant which can achieve accurate anatoraical reduction and rigid fixation is needed. But the pre­existing Y -shaped plate had wide and thick limbs and some problems in fixation for most distal humeral fractures. So we devised a modified plate which is more narrow and th1n and has a different hole distance and wing length (long lateral wing). The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical result of this modified anatomical Y -plate. From 1991 to 1997, we treated 23 cases of distal humeral fractures using modified anatomical plate and the results were as follows. 1. Fracture type in 18 patients(78%) was C-type(C1,C2,C3) which were intraarticular and mostly displaced or comminuted. 2. Bony union was obtained in 22 patients(96%) through rigid fixation and observed radiologically at 3.5 months(2-6months) on the average. 3. In 23 patients, 19 patients(82%) showed satisfactory results after 34 months(6-73months) follow-up. So if the modified anatomical Y-plate is used in the treatment of distal humeral fracture, a satisfactory result can be obtained through a more accurate, easy, and rigid fixation than preexisting plate.

After dual plating with a locking compression plate for comminuted intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus, the incidence of ulnar nerve injury after surgery has been reported to be up to 38%. This can be reduced by an anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve but some surgeons believe that extensive handling of the nerve with transposition can increase the risk of an ulnar nerve dysfunction. This paper reports ulnar nerve injuries caused by the incomplete insertion of a screw head in dual plating without an anterior ulnar nerve transposition for AO/OTA type C2 distal humerus fractures. When an anatomical locking plate is applied to a distal humeral fracture, locking screws around the ulnar nerve should be inserted fully without protrusion of the screw because an incompletely inserted screw can cause irritation or injury to the ulnar nerve because the screw head in the locking system usually has a slightly sharp edge because screw head has threads. If the change in insertion angle and resulting protruded head of the screw are unavoidable for firm fixation of fracture, the anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is recommended over a soft tissue shield.

knee injuries are among the most common problems confronting patients, physical therapist and physicians. since the bony structure provides little stability, the soft tissues are required to withstand high forces, often resulting in tissue overload and injury immobilization of the knee in the presence of a hemarthrosis usually leads to proliferation of intraarticular connective tissue adhesions and pint fibrosis. the physical basis of treating scar tissue is early controlled motion. the management of the knee with increased instability is to strengthening the muscles to properly treat an soft tissue injuries, physical therapist should know about the anatomic structures and biomechanical function of the knee joint, in this review article, we discuss the physiologic properties of soft tissue, biomechanical observation in fibrous connective tissue, managing soft tissue contractures, principles in treating scar tissue and treatment of the knee with increased instability.

The all inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique places an anterior ligament substitutes within two bony sockets rather than hone tunnel. This approach is accomplished through arthroscopic three portal which avoids the surgical exposure and morbidity associated with creating traditional bone tunnel. This technique has several distinct advantages when compared with the traditional ACL reconstruction through the bone tunnels. It offers the surgeon a less morbid method for ACL reconstruction that positions an ACL substitute at the anatomic attachment sites of the original ACL with two bone sockets, obviating the need for traditional bone tunnels. Graft fixation at or near the anatomic attachment points of the original ACL minimizes creep with early range of motion and reduces the abrasive 'wind-shield wipe' motion of the graft which occur with bone plugs positioned inside bone tunnels. The sagittal posterior angle to the tibial socket increases fixation strength to pullout with anterior translation force for the tibia on the femur. This technique is not graft specific and can accomodate any graft in which graft length can be customized to the intraarticular native ACL length.

In order to obtain a good result in Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction by immediate postoperative physical therapy, sufficient analgesia was needed. This study analyzes the analgesic effect of the intra-articular injection with ketorolac, Morphine together with bupivacaine in 80 male patients who had Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction. On completion of the surgery under spinal anesthesia, the knee was injected with 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine. Each of the study group received ketorolac and/or morphine, either through parenteral or intra-articular. Total amount of the drug used by Patient Controlled Analgesia(PCA) and Visual Analgesia Scale(VAS) for pain were measured and analyzed. The group which received intra-articular ketorolac or Morphine had a better analgesic effect than other group which received none. The group which received both did not do better in analgesic effect. Intra-articular infusion with either ketorolac or Morphine improved postoperative analgesia in Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction surgery. However, combined injection did not offer more advantage.
