Purpose : To analyze the patterns of osteochondral fracture associated with patellar dislocation and to assess the results of arthroscopic treatment. Materials and Methods : Fourteen patients were treated from March, 1989 to April, 1998 for patellar dislocations with osteochondral fracture. The average follow-up was 32 months. All were treated by arthroscopic procedures. The location and size of the fracture fragments were recorded. To assess the functional results, we used Larsen & Lauridson's score system. Results : Osteochondral fractures were found 8 cases in medial side of patella, 1 case in lateral side of patella, 5 cases in lateral margin of lateral femoral condyle. The range of maximal diameter of osteochondral fragment was from 1cm to 4.2cm. Treatments include fragment excision only in 6 cases, excision and medial retinacular repair in 2 cases, excision and medial retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release in 3 cases, and internal fixation only in 3 cases. The functional results were excellent in 5 cases$(36\%)$. good in 6 cases$(43\%)$, fair in 1 case$(7\%)$ and poor in 2 cases$(14\%)$. Conclusion : In osteochondral fractures associated with patellar dislocation, arthroscopic treatment is useful to diagnose precisely, to determine proper treatment modality, and to minimize the complications.

Purpose: We reported the results of arthroscopically assisted lateral release and medial imbrication for the recurrent patella dislocation. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients (20 knees) underwent arthroscopically assisted surgery for the recurrent patella dislocation. There were 4 males and 16 female. The average age was 20.2 years. All patients had definite trauma history and average follow-up period was 19 months. The surgical results were evaluated according to the Lysholm knee score and the Kujala score. The congruence angle and lateral patellofemoral angle were measured on plain radiograph and the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance was calculated on computerized tomography. Results: The median value of preoperative congruence angle was $16.5^{\circ}$ (range, $0.0{\sim}+34^{\circ}$) and the average final follow-up was $-6.4^{\circ}$ (range, $-19{\sim}10^{\circ}$) with statistically significant improvement (p=0.025). The median value of preoperative Lysholm knee score was 70 (range, 63~81) and the final follow-up score had changed to 88 (range, 80~95) with statistically significant improvement (p=0.0341). The median value of preoperative Kujala score was 72 (range, 65~80) and the average final follow-up score showed 87 (range, 80~92) with statistically significant improvement (p=0.024). Recurrent dislocations after surgery occurred in 2 cases, one case which showed positive "thumb to forearm test" had been treated with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Conclusion: Arthroscopically assisted lateral release and medial imbrication for recurrent patella dislocation without bony malaligmenent showed the effective treatment, but would be inappropriate for the patients with the generalized joint laxity.

The Study In order to obtain images of overlap of the two iron cores in the spinal cord simple x-ray scan after surgery of patients with ulcer lateral sclerosis and a fractured backbone, the researcher conducted a subjective evaluation on five radiographers of the university hospital's imaging department for more than 10 years. The results of the experiment showed that the lateral shot of lateral scoliosis of the spinal cord was taken with the middle face of the IR plane, and then the X-ray tube angle was taken vertically with the vertical spinal column fan-tom position, resulting in two overlapping images and high scores in the subjective evaluation. In addition, lateral shots of the lumbar dislocation fractured lumbar vertebrae were taken with the forehead aligned with the center of the IR plane and then with the X-ray angle perpendicular to the fourth waistline and the angle of the spinal cord perpendicular to the fourth waistline, the image of the two iron cores could be obtained from the radiographer.

Motion of the metatarsophalangeal joints is essential for the normal gait. Therefore it is important to recover the motion of normal joint in the treatment of stiffness of the metatarsophalangeal joints. However, there have been no report about the treatment of stiffness of the four lateral lesser metatarsophalangeal joints yet. We report an experience that good clinical and radiographic results were obtained after resection arthroplasty for the post-traumatic stiffness of the four lateral lesser metatarsophalangeal joints.

The crack-free AlGaN template has been successfully grown by using selective area growth with triangular GaN facet. The triangular GaN stripe structure was obtained by vertical growth rate enhanced mode with low growth temperature of $950^{\circ}C$ and high growth pressure of 500 torr. The lateral growth rate enhanced mode of AlGaN for crack-free and flat surface was also investigated. Low pressure of 30 torr and high V/III ratio of 4400 were favorable for lateral growth of AlGaN. It was confirmed that the $4{\mu}m$ -thick $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$ was crack-free over entire 2-inch wafer. The dislocation density of $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$ was as low as ${\sim}7.6{\times}10^8/cm^2$ measured by cathodoluminescence. Based on the high quality AlGaN with low dislocation density, the ultraviolet laser diode epitaxy with cladding, waveguide and GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The stimulated emission at 349 nm with full width at half maximum of 1.8 nm from the MQW was observed through optical pumping experiment with 193 nm KrF laser. We also have fabricated the deep ridge type ultraviolet laser diode (UV-LD) with $5{\mu}m-wide$ and $700{\mu}m-long$ cavity for electrical properties. The turn on voltage was below 5 V and the resistance was ${\sim}55{\Omega}$ at applied voltage of 10 V. The amplified spontaneous emission spectrum of UV-LD was also observed from pulsed current injection.

Hill-Sachs lesion is the most common lesion in shoulder dislocation patient and it represented by postero-lateral bony defect of humerus. The lesion could be found in patients who dislocate shoulder joint first time, and it is reported that Hill-Sachs lesion proportionally increases as dislocation does. The location and presence of Hill-Sachs lesion play significant roles in shoulder instability. Authors experienced a double Hill-Sachs lesion in a recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation patient, and thereby report the case with a review of the literature.

We report 4 patients who developed change of occlusion which seemed to be related to anterior disc dislocation without reduction, but there was no distinct evidence of condylar destruction or collapse. They experienced sudden occurrence of occlusal change, anterior open bite in 2 patients, lateral CR-CO discrepancy in 1 patient, and anteroposterior CR-CO discrepancy in 1 patient. Also, this report is to find out if there is a relation between sudden occurrence of occlusal change and anterior disc dislocation without reduction.

We have investigated the microstructural analysis of epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO), pendeoepitaxy (PE), and superlattice structures used as technology for the reduction of structural defects like dislocation in nitride semiconductors using transmission electron microscopy. We confirmed that the regrowth process such as ELO and PE is very effective technique on the reduction of threading dislocation (less than $10^6/cm^2$) in the specific area. However, to decrease the defect density in the whole nitride films and the suppress the generation of defect by regrowth, we should find the optimized conditions. Besides, the process using double PE and AlGaN/GaN superlattice structure showed no effect on the defect reduction up to now.
