  • In this study, new medial surface calculation methods using Voronoi diagrams are investigated for the point samples extracted on closed surface models. The medial surface is defined by the closure of all points having more than one closest point on the shape boundary. It is a one of essential geometric information in 3D and can be used in many areas such as 3D shape analysis, dimension reduction, freeform shape deformation, image processing, computer vision, FEM analysis, etc. In industrial parts, the idealized solid parts and shell shapes including sharp edges and vertices are frequently used. Other medial surface extraction methods using Voronoi diagram have inherent separation and branch problems, so that they are not appropriate to the sharp edged objects and have difficulties to be applied to industrial parts. In addition, the branched surfaces on sharp edges in shell shapes should be eliminated to obtain representative medial shapes. In order to avoid separation and branch problems, the new approach by analyzing the shapes and specially sampling on surfaces has been developed.

  • Purpose: This study was performed to analyze the results of radiologic parameters between weight bearing affected single ankle anteroposterior (AP) view and both ankle AP view in ankle osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods: Between January 2009 and August 2010, 41 patients (50 ankles) who visited our institution to treat ankle OA were reviewed retrospectively. In radiographic assessment, weight bearing affected single ankle AP view and both ankle AP view were checked, and measured tibial anterior surface angle (TAS), tibial medial malleolar angle (TMM), talar tilting angle (TT), maximum and minimun joint space width (JSW) of ankle, width between articular surface of medial malleolar and medial articular surface of talus as radiologic parameters. Results: On weight bearing both ankle AP view, TAS was $85.4{\pm}4.1^{\circ}$, TMM was $33.1{\pm}9^{\circ}$, TT was $5.4{\pm}6.1^{\circ}$, maximum JSW was $3.2{\pm}2.7$ mm, minimum JSW was $1.1{\pm}1.3$ mm, width between articular surface of medial malleolar and medial articular surface of talus was $1.8{\pm}1.8$ mm and on weight bearing affected ankle AP view, TAS was $85.3{\pm}3.9^{\circ}$, TMM was $34.3{\pm}10.9^{\circ}$, TT was $5.4{\pm}6.5^{\circ}$, maximum JSW was $3.2{\pm}2.7$ mm, minimum JSW was $1.1{\pm}1.3$ mm, width between articular surface of medial malleolar and medial articular surface of talus was $1.6{\pm}1.7$ mm. Conclusion: There is no statistical significance in radiologic parameters between weight-bearing affected single ankle AP view and both ankle AP view in ankle OA.

  • Purpose: Anteromedial surface of the leg is susceptible to trauma, which frequently induces soft tissue defect. When the size of a soft tissue defect is small to moderate, a local muscle flap is an easy and reliable alternative to a free flap. The authors performed medial hemisoleus flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue defects on the anteromedial surface of legs. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and effectiveness of the medial hemisoleus flap. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients underwent the medial hemisoleus flap for reconstruction of a soft tissue defect on the anteromedial surface of the leg from February 2009 to December 2013. There were eight males and four females with a mean age of 47.8 years (15 to 69 years). The mean size of defects was $4.7{\times}4.2cm$ ($2{\times}2$ to $9{\times}6cm$). Flap survival and postoperative complications were evaluated. Results: Mean follow-up period was 39.6 months (7 to 64 months) and all flaps survived. There were two cases of negligible necrosis of distal margin of the flap, which were healed after debridement. All patients were capable of full weight bearing ambulation at the last follow-up. Conclusion: The medial hemisoleus flap is a simple, reliable procedure for treatment of a small to moderate sized soft tissue defect on the anteromedial surface of the leg.

  • We treated 10 cases of the medial malleolar fracture of the ankle by open reduction and internal fixation from June 1997 to December 1997. After the rigid internal fixation, we measured the gap of the fracture site and the step off of the articular surface by special instrument under the ankle arthroscopy whether it was reduced anatomically or not. And we tried to know the necessity of the arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation in the medial malleolar fracture of the ankle. Under the arthroscopic view, all 10 cases were anatomically reduced as less than 1 mm of gap of the fracture site and less than 1mm of step off of the articular surface after open reduction and internal fixation in the medial malleolar fractures. In conclusion, through the arthroscopic management, it has advantage in finding and treating the accompanying intraarticular lesion, but also has disadvantage in setting the arthroscope and prolonging the operation time.

  • For the adequate intraarticular exposure in medial talar dome lesions, medial malleolar osteotomy is necessary in some cases. Many operative techniques including transverse, oblique, inverted V-shape, crescentic and step-cut osteotomies of the medial malleolus have been described previously. But their techniques have several problems such as nonunion, rotation and limited access to lesions. So we introduce the new reverse chevron medial malleolar osteotomy which provides excellent access to lesions, good stability and a broad cancellous surface for rapid healing.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the results of the autologous osteochondral grafting harvested from medial side of talus for relatively large osteochondral lesion of the medial talar dome. Materials and Methods: From October 2004 to September 2005, 12 patients with osteochondral lesion measured more than 10 mm in axial MRI who were followed up more than 1 year after operation were analyzed. We evaluated postoperative symptoms by Mann and Reynolds scale, morbidity of donor site, and compared the range of both ankle motion. We also evaluated the union at the medial malleolar osteotomy site, trabecular connection between the grafted osteochondral mass and talus, irregularity of the articular surface in lesion. Results: Clinical results were rated as excellent in 4, good in 7, fair in 1. The mean angle of the total range of motion in affected ankle was decreased by 3 degrees compared to that in unaffected ankle. We did not observe abnormal findings at donor site. The osteotomized bone was united at mean 9 weeks (range, 8-12 weeks). We observed trabecular connection between grafted osteochondral mass and talus at mean 14 weeks (range, 12-16 weeks). We also observed irregular articular surface in osteochondral lesions in 6, smooth articular surface in 6. Conclusion: The local autologous osteochondral graft for relatively large osteochondral lesion of the medial talar dome is useful operative method with advantages of wide operative field, low morbidity of donor site, and high satisfaction rate.

  • Osteochondral fracture is common in adolescent and usually occurs in the knee and ankle. Many authors have written concerning osteochondral fracture of the ankle joint, however, many of these pertain only to the talus. The author has found an osteochondral fracture of the articular surface of the medial malleolus within the ankle joint not previously described. We report a case of this lesion that was treated by arthroscopic osteochondral fragment removal.

  • After a severe ankle sprain, the incidence of residual complaints, particularly on the medial side of the joint, is high. We experienced a case of medial impingement between medial malleolus and anteromedial osteophyte of talus, specially in the dorsiflexion of the right ankle. Twenty five-year-old male was complained tenderness and chronic pain over the medial side of the right anklel for 3 years after an inversion sprain of the ankle. The plain radiography revealed a bony osteophyte on the anteromedial side of talus. The patient was treated by the open arthrotomy of the ankle. At surgery, impingement between articular surface of medial malleolus and osteophyte of the talus was observed when ankle dorsiflexion was done. Chondral lesion of medial malleolus and chondromalacic degeneration on anteromedial talus was viewed. Surgical removal of osteophyte on talus and debridement and multiple drilling of chondral lesion on medial malleolus was done. The symptom was improved. After postoperative 1 year, recurrence was not.
