후방십자인대 손상의 이상적 치료는 아직까지도 확립되지 않았다. 과거 몇 십 년간 후방십자인대에 대한 지식과 슬관절 안정성에 대한 후방십자인대의 생역학에 대한 지식이 증가하였다. 특히 이중 다발에 대한 지식이 증가하고 이러한 모든 노력들은 후방십자인대의 해부학적인 특징을 최대한 복원하기 위해 이루어졌다. 재건술의 수술 방법은 특정 손상 양상에 따라 그에 맞게 이루어지는데 만성 손상의 경우나 remnant가 거의 존재하지 않는 경우에는 이중 다발을 재건하는 것이 만족스러운 결과를 보인다. 아직까지 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술의 결과에 대해서는 논란이 많은 것은 사실이나 장기 추시가 가능해지면 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술이 해부학적으로나 생역학적으로 더욱 정상에 가깝기 때문에 더 나은 장기적 결과를 보여줄 것으로 예상된다.

전방십자인대 재건술시 자가건 선택에 대해서는 많은 논쟁의 소지가 존재하며 많은 보고들이 나오고 있으나, 현 시점에서 이식건으로써 자가 골-슬개건-골이 표준(gold standard)라는 주장은 이제 변화하고 있으며, 골-건 고정방법의 개선에 따른 조기 슬관절 안정성의 호전으로 자가 슬괵건의 사용이 점점 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 자가 골-슬개건-골은 이식건으로써 강한 물성, 튼튼한 고정, 장기 추시에서 높은 성공률 등으로 젊고, 강한 활동을 요하는 운동선수에서 종종 선택되고 있으며 조기에 강한 활동으로의 운동 복귀를 할 수 있다. 그러나 슬관절 전방 통증, 무릎을 꿇을 때의 통증, 슬개골골절, 슬개-대퇴 관절의 염발음 및 대퇴사두근력의 감소 등 이식물 채취로 인한 공여부 이환이 문제가 되었다. 그래서 자가 골-슬개건-골의 이식건으로서의 문제점 및 문헌상 고찰을 하여 논하고자 한다.

Many people are exposed to accidents by vehicles or sports. The most frequent injuries by these accidents is concerned with a knee joint. The three-dimensional surface model of a knee is needed for dynamic analysis of knee motion and knee reconstruction. three-dimensional motion data of a knee joint were obtained using X-ray and precise magnetic sensors. The surface data of a femur and a tibia were obtained using cross-sectional pictures by CT. The three-dimensional surface models of a femur and a tibia were made by the method of optimal triangular patch. Using obtained motion data, we simulated the motion of three-dimensional knee joint model.

Eight patients underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction for tracheostomy and postintubation injuries from 1971 to early 1981. The ages ranged from 12 years to 59 years. The patients had 7-cuff stenosis and one stomal lesion in whom intubated long. Four male and four female patients were treated. Cervical approach was used in one, cervicomediastinal in 3 and transthoracic in four. The longest length of resection extended to 4 cm in whom cervico-upper half mediastinal incision and neck flexion were applied. Techniques for obtaining tension-free anastomosis included cervical flexion or division of the inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of the right hilum. Concurrent tracheostomy was not needed in all. There was one death at the end of emergency operation from anesthetic accident. Granulations at the anastomosis line, necessitating bronchoscopy, were noted in two and the lesion did not recurred after removal. No restenosis or other complications occurred during long follow-up.

Patients with chronic lateral ankle instability often experience a range of associated injuries. The well-known comorbidities include intra-articular pathologies (osteochondral lesion, soft tissue or bony impingement, and loose body), peroneal tendon pathologies, neural injuries, and other extra-articular pathologies. Surgeons should have a high index of suspicion for these associated pathologies before operative intervention, correlate the clinical findings, and plan the treatment. Despite the restoration of ankle stability following ligament repair or reconstruction surgery, a high prevalence (13%~35%) of postoperative residual pain has been reported. This pain can negatively affect the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. This study examined the causes of persistent pain after surgical treatments for chronic ankle instability.

Purpose: We evaluated the clinical results of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon with tibial remnant-preserving technique. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five cases were evaluated from Feb, 2003 to May, 2006. The average interval from injury to surgery was $2.6{\pm}1.6$ months. The cause of injury was mostly sports-related trauma. The average follow-up period was 17 months. Tibial remnant was preserved as much as possible and caution was taken not to damage the remnant during ACL reconstruction. Postoperative rehabilitation was the same as the usual rehabilitation method after ACL reconstruction, except for delaying motion for 2 weeks with an extension locking brace. Clinical evaluation was performed using ROM; Lachman test; pivot-shift test; anterior displacement measurement using KT-2000 arthrometer; Lysholm score and proprioception measured by single limb standing test. Results: There was no limitation of knee motion without contracture. The Lachman test and pivot-shift test were both negative. The side-to-side difference of anterior displacement measured using KT-2000 arthrometer was improved from 6.7 mm to 2.2 mm. The average Lysholm score improved from 81 to 96. The single limb standing test for proprioceptive evaluation showed no significant difference from a normal leg. Conclusion: ACL reconstruction with tibial remnant-preserving technique can preserve mechanoreceptors with prorioception and expect good functional recovery.

Purpose : We reviewed the results of arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft, and the efficacy of the surgical technique using gradual tibial tunneling and posterior transseptal technique. Materials and Methods : From september 1997 to September 1999, 8 patients with complete PCL injury were treated by arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft. Mean follow-up period was 21.7 months. Mean preoperative posterior laxity was 14mm. The clinical outcome was assessed by Telos stress test, Lysholm knee score and IKDC score. Result : There was no complication such as infection and neurovascular injury. Posterior translation using Telos device was less than 5mm in 6 cases$(75\%)$, and between 6 to 10mm in 2 cases$(25\%)$. The mean Lysholm knee score was 45 preoperatively and improved to 87 postoperatively. In IKDC system, 2 of 8 patients were group A and 6 were group B. Conclusion : Arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using achilles tendon allograft and posterior transseptal technique shows reliable stability, short operative time and minimizing donor site morbidity but needs more long term follow-up.

Purpose : To evaluate tile clinical results of resorbable meniscal arrow fixation for repairable meniscal tear with concurrent anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction. Materials and Methods : Between April, 1997 and June, 1999, we performed resorbable meniscal arrow fixation and ACL reconstruction simultaneously for 18 cases of repairable meniscal tears with ACL injuries. Nine cases were acute injuries, 5 cases, subacute and 4 cases, chronic. The average follow-up was 21.5 months($12\~38$ months). Results : The healing rate was $89\%$ for acute injuries, $80\%$ for subacute injuries and $50\%$ for chronic injuries. Conclusion : Resorbable meniscal arrow fixation with concurrent ACL reconstruction is a good treatment modality for acute and subacute injuries.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the merits and demerits of double bundle reconstruction and achieve improvements hereafter, by comparing the results of double bundle and single bundle reconstruction using tibialis anterior allograft. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven patients were divided to undergo either double bundle(n=14) or single bundle(n=13) reconstruction with tibialis anterior allograft tendon. The evaluation methods were AP laxity with KT-2000 arthrometer, isokinetic knee strength measurements, pivot-shift test, IKDC subjective score, Lysholm knee score, Tegner activity score, radiographic evaluations with postoperative MRI, and second look arthroscopy. Results: Lysholm knee score and Tegner activity score were significantly better in double bundle reconstruction. In pivot-shift test, single bundle reconstruction was evaluated as grade 0 in 10 of the knees, grade 1 in 1, and grade 2 in 2. Double bundle reconstruction was evaluated as grade 0 in 13, and grade 2 in 1. In second look arthroscopy, single bundle was evaluated as excellent in 6 of the knees, fair in 7, anteromedial bundle of double bundle reconstruction was excellent in 13 and fair in 1, and posterolateral bundle was excellent in 4, fair in 9, and poor in 1. There were no significant differences in other evaluations. Conclusion: Favorable outcome may be expected with double bundle reconstruction of ACL. However there are still need for improvement in terms of reconstruction technique and rehabilitation protocol to reduce PL bundle injury.
