The purposes of this study were to determine the influence of midsole hardness and sole thickness of sports shoes on ball flex angle and position with increment of running velocity. The subjects employed for this study were 10 college students who did not have lower extremity injuries for the last one year and whose running pattern was rearfoot striker of normal foot. The shoes used in this study had 3 different midsole hardness of shore A 40, shore A 50, shore A 60 and 3 different sole thickness of 17cm, 19cm, 21cm. The subjects were asked to run at 3 different speed of 2.0m/sec, 3.5m/sec, 5.0m/sec and their motions were videotaped with 4 S-VHS video cameras and 2 high speed video cameras and simultaneously measured with a force platform. The following results were obtained after analysing and comparing the variables. Minimum angle of each ball flex position were increased with the increment of running velocity and shoe sole thickness(P<0.05), but mid-sole hardness did not affect minimum ball flex angle. The position which minimum angle was shown as smallest was 'D'. Midsole hardness and sole thickness did not affect time to each ball flex minimum angle, total angular displacement of ball flex angle, and total angular displacement of torsion angle(P<0.05). The position which minimum angle was appeared to be earliest was similar at walking velocity, and E and F of midfoot region at running velocity. Total angular displacement of ball flex position tended to increase as shifted to heel. It was found that running velocity had effects on ball flex angle variables, but shoe sole thickness partially affected. It would be considered that running velocity made differences between analysis variables at walking and running when designing shoes. Also, it was regarded that shoes would be developed at separated region, because ball flex angle and position was shown to be different at toe and heel region. It is necessary that midsole hardness and thickness required to functional shoes be analyzed in the further study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded cement spacers (ALCSs) for the treatment of diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis as a salvage procedure and to analyze the risk factors of treatment failure. Materials and Methods: This study reviewed retrospectively 39 cases of diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis who underwent surgical treatment from 2009 to 2017. The mean age and follow-up period were $62{\pm}13years$ and $19.2{\pm}23.3months$, respectively. Wounds were graded using the Wagner and Strauss classification. X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (or bone scan) and deep tissue cultures were taken preoperatively to diagnose osteomyelitis. The ankle-brachial index, toe-brachial index (TBI), and current perception threshold were checked. Lower extremity angiography was performed and if necessary, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was conducted preoperatively. As a surgical treatment, meticulous debridement, bone curettage, and ALCS placement were employed in all cases. Between six and eight weeks after surgery, ALCS removal and autogenous iliac bone graft were performed. The treatment was considered successful if the wounds had healed completely within three months without signs of infection and no additional amputation within six months. Results: The treatment success rate was 82.1% (n=32); 12.8% (n=5) required additional amputation and 5.1% (n=2) showed delayed wound healing. Bacterial growth was confirmed in 82.1% (n=32) with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus being the most commonly identified strain (23.1%, n=9). The lesions were divided anatomically into four groups; the largest number was the toes: (1) toes (41.0%, n=16), (2) metatarsals (35.9%, n=14), (3) midfoot (5.1%, n=2), and (4) hindfoot (17.9%, n=7). A significant difference in the Strauss wound score and TBI was observed between the treatment success group and failure group. Conclusion: The insertion of ALCSs can be a useful treatment option in diabetic foot infections with osteomyelitis. Low scores in the Strauss classification and low TBI are risk factors of treatment failure.

목적: 운동 선수 중 증상이 있는 부주상골에 대해 변형 Kidner 술식 후 5년이상 추시 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 7월부터 2004년 12월까지 동통을 동반한 부주상골로 변형 Kidner 술식을 받은 후 5년이상 추적 관찰이 가능한 운동선수 22명(26족) 및 방사선학적 관찰이 가능한 9명(12족)에 대해 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 모든 환자에 대한 술전 병력 검사 후 주관적 검사로서 미국 족부 정형외과 학회(American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, AOFAS) 중족부 평가, 시각 통증 척도(Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) 점수를 평가하였다. 술후 최종 추시에서 독립된 검사자가 AOFAS 중족부 평가, VAS 점수, 만족도를 조사하였다. 방사선학적 평가에 대해 술전과 최종 추시 관찰시의 기립 측면 방사선 사진에서 거골-제1중족골 간 각, 거종각, 종골 피치각을 측정하였다. 결과: 술전 AOFAS 점수는 평균 $40.1{\pm}7.5$점(32~57점), 최종 추시 관찰 평균은 $88.7{\pm}8.0$점(72~100점)으로 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 술전 VAS 점수는 평균 $7.0{\pm}0.9$점(5~9점), 최종 추시 관찰 평균은 $1.8{\pm}0.8$점(1~4점)으로 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 최종 추시 결과 11명은 매우 만족, 11명은 만족, 4명은 불만족으로 평균 만족도는 85%였다. Wilcoxon 검정상 거골-제1중족골간 각(p=0.67), 거종각(p=0.93) 종골 피치각(p=0.49)으로 수술 전 및 최종 추시 결과 사이에 유의한 차를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 증상이 있는 부주상골에 대한 변형 Kidner 술식 후 5년이상 중기 추시 결과 높은 만족도를 보였다.
