Various surgical techniques has been advocated for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament using the bone-patella tendon-bone graft. Recently endoscopic technique provides good clinical results, with minimal skin incision, accurate positioning of the graft to the femoral tunnel, and decreasing wear rate of the graft. But the graft-tunnel mismatch remains problematic in endoscopic technique. The purpose of this paper is to described causes of the graft-tunnel mismatch and to provide important steps to prevent or minimize the graft-runnel mismatch following anterior cruciate ligament while using the endoscopic technique. Our guideline for prevention of the graft-tunnel mismatch are as follows: (1) The tunnel should he positioned closely to isometric point as much as possible. (2) Anterior placement of the tunnel should be avoided. (3) The change of graft length should be within 2mm between flexion and extension position.

This study was to determine the reliability and validity of manual measurements of patellar height to standard radiographic measurements in 30 knees of 15 subjects. Patellar height was measured using manual and radiographic methods. The manual measurements were performed by two examiners using digital vernier calipers with the subject sitting and the knees in $30^{\circ}$ of flexion. The radiographic measurements were performed in the same position. The reliability of the manual measurements was assessed by means of intraclass correlation coefficients [ICC(3,1)], and the validity was investigated using the Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient and an independent t-test. The intra- and inter-rater reliabilities of the manual measurement of patellar height were excellent (ICC=.86 and .88 respectively). The validity of patellar height measured manually compared to the radiographic method was good (Pearson's r=.69). In conclusion, the manual method is an objective, qualitative measurement of patella height.

It is well known that the geometry of the articular surface has a major role in determining the position of articular contact and the lines of action for the contact forces. The contact force calculation of the knee joint under the effect of sliding and rolling is one of the most challenging issues in this field. We present a 3-D human knee joint model including sliding and rolling motions and major ligaments to calculate the lateral and medial condyle contact forces from the recovered total internal reaction force using inverse dynamic contact modeling and the Least-Square method. As results, it is believed that the patella, muscles and tendon affect a lot for the internal reaction forces at the initial heel contact stage. With increasing flexion angles during gait, the decreasing contact area is progressively shifted to the posterior direction on the tibia plateau. In addition, the medial side contact force is larger than the lateral side contact force in the knee joint during normal human walking. The total internal forces of the knee joint are reasonable compared to previous studies.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of knee malalignment including genu varum, valgum, and recurvatum on static and dynamic postural stability. Methods: A total of 80 subjects were enrolled in this study. Subjects who showed over 3 cm in the distance between the knees were classified as the genu varum group, and subjects who showed over 3 cm in the distance between the ankles were classified as the genu valgum group. Subjects who showed over 1 cm in the distance between the patella and a table in prone position were classified as the genu recurvatum group. Static and dynamic stability were measured as overall, anterioposterior, and mediolateral balance index using a Biodex Balance System. Results: This study showed that knee alignment affected static and dynamic postural stability. In particular, there were significant differences in the mediolateral stability index among genu varum, valgum group, and the other groups, but no differences in overall and anteriolateral stability index. Significant differences in the anterioposterior stability index were observed between genu recurvatum and the other groups, however, there were no differences in overall and mediolateral stability index. Conclusion: The findings were that knee malalignment affects postural stability toward a specific direction. Treatment to improve postural stability for treatment of knee malalignment or to prevent falling or injuries is needed and postural stability toward a specific direction according to the knee alignment conditions should be considered.

본 연구는 무릎뼈의 변형된 접선 방향 검사 시 최적의 입사각에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 실험은 Kyoto Kagaku사의 PBU-50 phantom을 이용하여 바로 누운 자세에서 넙다리뼈-정강뼈 각도(Femur-tibia angle, F-T angle)를 95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, 135°, 145°로 각각에서 X선 중심선과 정강뼈가 이루는 각도가 5~20° 되도록 5°씩 변경하여(62.5°, 67.5°, 72.5°, 77.5°, 82.5°, 87°, 87.5°) 무릎뼈 접선 방향 영상을 획득하였다. 영상분석을 위해 Image J를 이용하여 Congruence angle, Lateral patellofemoral angle, Patellofemoral index, 대조도 잡음비(Contrast to noise ratio, CNR)를 측정하였다. 통계 분석은 SPSS 22를 이용하여 일원배치분산분석과 대응표본 t-검정으로 Merchant method와 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Congruence angle의 경우 무릎 각도-X선 중심선의 입사각도가 105°-72.5°(20° 접선조사), 115°-72.5°, 77.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 125°-82.5°(20° 접선조사), Lateral patellofemoral angle은 115°-72.5°, 77.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 125°-72.5°(10° 접선조사), Patellofemoral index는 115°-72.5°(15° 접선조사), 125°-72.5°(10° 접선조사)에서 Merchant method와 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>.05). CNR의 경우 105°-67.5°, 72.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 115°-67.5°, 72.5°, 77.5°(10, 15, 20°접선 조사)일 때 Merchant method와 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>.05). 본 연구의 결과를 통해 무릎뼈의 변형된 접선방향 검사 시 무릎 각도와 X선관의 입사각도를 각각 115°-72.5°(15° 접선 조사)로 설정함으로써 진단적 가치가 높은 영상을 획득할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The anterolateral thigh flap has many advantages over other conventional free flaps. But the anterolateral thigh flap has yet to enter widespread use because perforating arteries exhibit a wide range of anatomic variations and are difficult to dissect when small. The aim of this study is to identify the vascular variability of perforating arteries and pedicle in the anterolateral thigh free flap. Methods: We studied 12 cadavers and dissected 23 thighs. An anterolateral thigh flap ($12{\times}12cm$) was designed and centered at the midpoint of the line drawn from anterior superior iliac spine to the superolateral border of the patella. After we identifed the perforating arteries we dissected up to their origin from lateral circumflex femoral artery along descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery. We then investigated the number and the position of perforating arteries, length and diameter of vascular pedicle and pattern of lateral circumflex femoral arterial system. Results: On average $2.3{\pm}1.1$ perforating arteries per thigh were identified. The musculocutaneous perforators were 63.1%. In those perforators five perforators were arose from transverse branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery and two were arose from rectus femoral artery. Most of the perforators were near the intermuscular septum between rectus femoris muscle and vastus lateralis muscle. The length and diameter of pedicle were $11.9{\pm}3.5cm$ and $3.1{\pm}0.8mm$ on average. Conclusion: This study will be helpful for the success in anterolateral thigh free flap.
