Background: Clinical and radiological results based on fracture types and associated injuries after the treatment of tibial plateau fracture were evaluated for analyzing prognostic factors. Materials and Methods: From June 1997 to June 2002, 50 cases were followed for at least 1 year. Mean age was 47.4 years, and mean follow period was 30.0 months. Fracture classification was performed by the Schatzker method. Clinical and radiological evaluation were performed by the Porter and Rasmussen method. Evaluation was based on degree of reduction and associated injuries, etc. Results: The most common cause of injury was traffic accident (37 cases, 74%), The common fracture types by Schatzker classification were type II (14 cases) and VI (12 cases). Methods of treatment were screw fixation (15 cases), plate and screw (21 cases), external fixator (5 cases), and conservative treatment (9 cases). The most common associated injuries were ipsilateral fibular fracture (18 cases) and MCL (medial collateral ligament) injury (8 cases). Conclusion: Acceptable results after treatment of tibial plateau fracture were obtained from the anatomical reduction group, non-associated injury group, the young age group, and the early ROM (range of motion) beginning group.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon and Ligament Anchor (LA) screw, which is newly designed for fixation of graft into femur. Materials and Methods: Fifty eight patients who were followed up at least more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction with four strands of Hamstring tendon and LA screw were included in this study. The graft was fixed with LA screw at femoral tunnel and with only bioabsorbable interference screw at tibial tunnel. The mean follow-up period was 28 months. The clinical results were evaluated by physical examination and Lysholm knee score. Widening of bony tunnel and anterior laxity difference compared with normal side by instrumented anterior laxity test with Telos(R) (Telos stress device; Austin & Associates, Inc., Polston, US) were evaluated. Results: The Lysholm knee score improved from 60.0 points preoperatively to 94.0 points at last follow up. On the Lachman test, there were mild (+) instability in 16 cases, moderate (++) in 24,severe (+++) in 18 preoperatively. 50 cases were converted to negative and 8 to mild instability at postoperative follow up. On instrumented anterior laxity test with Telos(R), difference between normal and affected knee on 20 lb was 12.9 mm in average preoperatively, and was decreased to 3.1mm at last follow-up. The femoral tunnel was widened from 10.6 mm postoperatively to 12.7 mm (21.1$\%$) at follow up on antero-posterior plane and from 10.7 mm to 12.4 mm (16.5$\%$) on lateral plane. Tibial tunnels was also widened from 9.8mm to 11.8mm (20.7$\%$) on antero-posterior plane and from 9.9mm to 11.7 mm ($18.9\%$) on lateral plane. Complications were: anterior knee crepitus in 17 case, quadriceps muscle atrophy(>3 cm) in 6, penetration of screw over the lateral femoral cortex in 5, saphenous nerve paresthesia in 2.Conclusions: ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon and LA screw was one of the choice of grafts and fixation devices in restoring knee stability and in improving clinical results with little complications such as excessive widening of bony tunnel and anterior knee pain
Purpose: This study is to analyze the clinical and radiological results after arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular fractures of lateral tibial plateau. Materials and Methods: The subject of the study are the 13 cases of the patients visited orthopedics surgery during March year 2000 to August year 2004 because of intra-articular fractures of lateral tibial plateau and were treated with arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation. X-rays and CT or MRI were both carried out to identify the precise pattern of fracture and the degree of depression which showed out to be all type 2 by Schatzker fracture classification. And in 9 of the cases, autogenous and allogenous bone grafts were given as bone loss were severe. The average age was 48, age group between 31 and 66, and average follow up period of about 38 months ($13{\sim}65months$). Radiological ratings were given by comparing the X-rays of degree of joint congruency before and after the operation, functional ratings by analyzing IKDC score and Lysholm score. Combined injuries observed after arthroscopy were posterior cruciate ligament injury in 1 case, meniscus injury in 4 cases and medial collateral ligament in 2 cases. Results: During follow up, X-rays showed well-maintained reduction of articular surface in all cases and no complications such as joint depression, fracture reduction loss, angular deformity or malunion were found. Average Lysholm score at last follow up was 87 points ranging from 65 to 97, in 8 of the cases excellent, 3 good, 1 fair and 1 poor according to Lynsholm classification. Average IKDC score was 92 (from 82 to 99). Conclusion: Not only does arthroscopic reduction of lateral tibial plateau fracture bring exact reduction of articular surface, but also, is considered to be a good way of operation to diagnose and treat combined injuries of knee joint using arthroscopy.

Introduction : This study compared the clinical results with biceps rerouting fer the isolated posterolateral instability (PLI) and for the PLI combined with PCL injuries. Methods : 21 cases of isolated PLI (group I) and 25 cases of PLI combined with PCL rupture were included in the study. The PLI was reconstructed by modified biceps femoris rerouting technique with PCL reconstructions performed prior to the PLI correction in cases of combined injury The clinical results were reviewed and analyzed. Results : Pre-operatively positive reverse pivot shift test turned negative in 43 cases post-operatively. Increased preoperative external rotation thigh foot angle (ERTFA) showed significant differences between the two groups and all fell within normal limits post-operatively At a mean follow-up of 40.3 months, the average Lysholm knee score and. The Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Ligament Score for group I and group II revealed above 90 points without statistically significant difference between the groups. 3 cases of tenodesis failure developed and re-operation was performed. Discussion and Conclusion : The advantages of modified Clancy technique include reduced surgical damages to the iliotibial band and fixation of the biceps tendon at the isometric position. The modified biceps rerouting technique is recommended for the reconstruction of both isolated and combined PLI except in patients with severe damages at the attachment of biceps tendon.
Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to analyze the clinical results after meniscal repair using meniscal arrow. Materials and Methods : Between May 1997 and Aug 1998, we repaired 22 tom menisci in 22 patients using meniscal arrows. There were nineteen males and three females with an average age of 27 years. There were longitudinal tear in 14 cases, Bucket-handle tear were 7 cases and horizontal tear was in 1 case. In 22 meniscus tears, 16 cases were associated with anterior cruciate ligament tear. Average number of meniscal arrow that was used were 2.5(ranged 1 to 4). Average follow-up period was 14.7 months(ranged 6 to 22 months). We evaluated the clinical results by the Tapper and Hoover's grading system. Results : There were excellent in 16 cases, good in 4 cases and fair in 2 cases on the clinical results. At the last follow up, the range of the motion of the knee joint were average 135 degrees(ranged 125 to 140 degrees). Mean time elapsed for meniscal repair were 25 minutes(ranged 15 to 40 minutes). Conclusion : Meniscal arrow has many advantages such as short operative time, easy fixation technique, and less neurovascular injury. We think that arthroscopic meniscal repair using meniscal arrow is effective treatment method in selected patient who have longitudinal, bucket-handle tear at the posterior hom associated with anterior cruciate ligament tear.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcomes after operative treatment using endobuttons for unstable distal clavicle fractures. Materials and Methods: Between October 2007 and September 2009, 9 consecutive patients who were followed up for at least more than 12 months after operative treatment using a TightRope$^{(R)}$ were studied. The radiologic results on the serial plain radiographs and the clinical results according to the American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score were analyzed. Result: Bony union was shown in 8 cases (88.9%) and the average time to union was 12.9 (range: 9~16) weeks. The average coracoclavicular distances at the postoperative and final follow-up were 5.6 mm and 6.2 mm, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). The average ASES score was 90.3 (range: 78~96) and the clinical outcomes were 6 excellent, 2 good and one fair. There were no complications such as implant failure or infection except for one case of nonunion due to loss of the initial reduction. Conclusion: A major advantage of TightRope$^{(R)}$ fixation for unstable distal clavicle fractures is that no further surgery is needed to remove the implant. We suggest that this technique provides an alternative for fracture with a distal fragment, which is difficult to fix.
Displaced tibial spine fractures need the anatomical reduction of the displaced bone fragment to achieve normal range of motion and anterior stability of the knee joint. The purpose of this paper is to describe details of arthroscopic technique using suture hook and pull-out PDS and to evaluate the clinical results. We report 7 cases who underwent arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation using suture hook and pull-out PDS. All cases had fresh fractures generated within 3 weeks. The follow up period was at average 16.6 months. The fracture union was achieved at average 7.4 weeks. Knee exercise was started 2 weeks after the operation. One of the patients, who had combined injury of posterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus, showed limitation of knee movement. But he was underwent the arthroscopic fibrolysis at one year later, he returned to normal range of motion. Arthroscopic treatment of displaced tibial spine fracture using suture hook and pull-out PDS showed good results including rigid fixation and early mobilization. Therefore it is thought to be one of the effective operative techniques in treatment of the tibial spine fractures.
Purpose: Surgical reconstruction is usually indicated for type II distal clavicle fracture due to high rate of nonunion and delayed union. We report the clinical outcome of a surgical technique for type II distal clavicle fracture using Mersilen tape and K-wire. Materials and Methods: From 1999 through 2003, this technique has been used on 11 patients with type II distal clavicle fracture. The procedure consist of fracture reduction with a Mersilene tape, repair of torn coracoclavicular ligament, and K-wire fixation of the fracture fragment. All patients with at least 12 months of complete postoperative follow-up were included for functional and radiographic evaluation. We used simple X-ray and UCLA scoring system and constant scoring system for evaluation at last follow up in OPD. Results: Solid union of the fracture could be achieved at 11 weeks after operation in all patients. All patients could return to the same level of preinjury activity. Good and excellent results were obtained in all patients according to UCLA system. Conclusion: This technique was simple procedure and allowed for stable fixation with early mobilization and early return to work and sports.

Objective : Hirabayashi's open-door laminoplasty is a good procedure to use to treat patients with myelopathy of the cervical spine; however, the authors have experienced problems in maintaining an open-window in cervical spines after the surgery. The authors developed a modified method of the expanded open-door laminoplasty and compared the radiological and clinical results with those of the classical method. Methods : In the modified method, wiring fixation with lateral mass screws on the contra lateral-side instead of fixing the paraspinal muscle or facet joint, as in the classical methods, was used in the open window of the cervical spine. Fifteen patients with cervical myelopathy were treated using the classical method and 12 patients were treated using the modified method. Preoperative and postoperative clinical conditions were assessed according to the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score. The radiological results were compared with the preoperative and postoperative computed tomography (CT) findings. Results : In both methods, the clinical results revealed a significant improvement in neurological function (p<0.001). Image analysis revealed that the cervical canals were continuously expanded in patients treated using the modified methods. However, authors have observed restenosis during the follow-up periods in 4 patients treated using the original method. Progression to deformity and spinal instability were not observed in any of the patients in the radiological results. Conclusion : Although analysis with a larger population and a longer follow-up period needs to be undertaken, our modified open-door laminoplasty has shown an advantage in better maintaining an open window in comparison with the Hirabayashi's open-door laminoplasty.
