The anterior maxillary sinus walls are the most frequently injured sites in midfacial fractures. The maxillary sinus is a difficult surgical site for reduction and fixation due to its narrow surgical field, and has a chance of developing sinusitis when sufficient treatment is not given. In this study, the methods developed by the authors for managing such are introduced. Two small openings were made on both sides of the fracture line, then a suture knot was tied instead of wiring for reduction and fixation. Then an absorbable mesh was applied on top of the fracture site, with a suture knot for additional fixation. This method was applied on an actual patient, and it was a convenient method despite the narrow surgical field that was provided. The authors believe that using suture knots to fixate fractured segments and absorbable mesh is relatively convenient and economically efficient when it comes to the reduction and fixation of the maxillary sinus wall fracture with several fragments.

The objective of this article is to investigate and analyze the way how the suture surgery was operated in case of external wound or incision in past Korea. The method to do this study was to search the books on the website, Knowledge of Oriental Medicine Web Service, databased and serviced by Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine. The searching key word was '縫'. The results was as follows. According to the website search, ten subjects of suture surgery could be classified: sword wound(金瘡), horse bite(馬咬), intestine incision(腸肚傷), knife or ax wound(刀斧傷), larynx incision(割喉), intestine protrusion by cow collision(牛觸腸出), self-stabbing of neck(自刎), falling from tree(童稚上木墮下), lip injury(趺損唇皮) and face wound(顔面의 外傷). Furthermore, the kinds of suturing fiber, the way how to stitch, the kinds of medical care before and after the suture surgery could also be found

Purpose: Seroma formation is still major complication of abdominal donor site after TRAM flap surgery in spite of various efforts to reduce seroma formation such as closed suction drain. We performed a clinical study, that quilting suture at abdominal donor site can prevent seroma formation. Methods: Between May 2002 and September 2008, we performed 600 breast reconstructions using a unilateral TRAM flap except patients who has smoking history or abdominal scar. We performed 300 breast reconstructions without quilting sutures (A: Experimental group) until January 06, and after then 300 reconstructions with quilting sutures (B: Control group). We compared total drain output (mL), time to drain removal (days), and donor site complications between two groups. Results: There were no statistical difference at BMI (p=0.28) and time to remove suction drain between two group. (A: 8.37, B: 9.69) (p=0.40) But, total drain output was reduced with quilting suture. (A: 432.5, B: 495.2) (p=0.005) And also complication rate was decreased, such as seroma formation, epigastric bulging. (A: 1%, B: 7%) (p=0.005) Conclusion: Quilting suture is a simple and reliable method to reduce seroma formation and abdominal donor site complication.

A nine-month-old male Jindo with non weight-bearing on the right forelimb in flexed position, pain and edema of the elbow, and resist elbow extension was brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chungbuk National University. Elbow radiographs showed loss of humeroradial joint space and lateral displacement of the radius and ulna. Closed reduction was reported the best therapy in most cases of luxation of the elbow but conservative reduction was impossible. Open reduction of the luxated elbow was performed and ruptured collateral ligaments were identified. Displaced elbow was required bloody surgical operation and gentle reduction to restore elbow joint. Internal reduction of choice for elbow luxation with rupture of collateral ligament in the dog was a double locking-loop suture pattern. To ensure secure grasping of parallel bundles of ligament fibers to transverse bites of each suture were placed superficial to the longitudinal bites. All ligaments were repaired with 3-metric (size 2 USP) monofilament polypropylene suture. No complications have been noted during a five-month follow up.

We report a simple technique for repairing capsular tear, using only a hook-like, cannulated instrument and braided sutures without relaying steps. A No. 2 braided suture is passed through the lumen of the instrument. Under direct arthroscopic view, the tip of the instrument is passed through the side of the capsule that has previously been separated with the probe. One end of the suture is retrieved with a grasper through a separate portal. The tip is moved back without withdrawing through the skin, and reinserted into the other side of the capsule. Holding the end retrieved earlier, the other end of the suture is retrieved with a suture retriever. After complete removal of the instrument, the suture is tied through a cannula using the standard knot tying techniques. The same procedures are repeated for other required knots.

목적: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에 대해서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합 법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술에 대한 추시 결과와 유효성을 보고하고자 한다. 방법: 2006년 1월부터 20011년 10월까지 큰 크기의 회전근 개 전 층 파열로 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용하여 적어도 대결절의 내연까지 봉합이 가능하여 관절경하 봉합술을 시행하였던 71예의 환자를 1군으로, 단순 봉합법을 시행하였던 20예를 2군으로 하여 비교하였으며, 술 전과 7개월, 1년, 최종 추시 VAS of pain, ASES 점수의 ADL (Activity of Daily Living), UCLA 점수를 측정하였다. 통계적인 검정은 양군간에 student t-test와 수술 전후에 paired t-test로 비교하였다. 평균 연령은 63.2 (52~80)세 였고 평균 추시 기간은 38.4 (13~62)개월 이었다. 결과: 동통에 대한 VAS 점수에서 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 8.1에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.6로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.6에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.8로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 두 군 간의 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 평균 ADL은 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.5에서 술 후 최종 추시 평균 29.0으로 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 평균 11.3에서 27.5으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). UCLA 점수는 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.9에서 술 후 최종 추시 28.7으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.8에서 술 후 최종 추시 30.1으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). 술 후 평균 27.5주째에 촬영한 MRI (20예)와 초음파 (51예)를 이용한 재 파열의 비교에서 1군에서 28%, 2군에서는 20예중 11예에서 재 파열이 있어서 두 군간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 결론: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술은 단순 봉합법을 이용한 봉합술과 비교하여 임상적으로 차이가 없으나 재 파열에서 의미 있는 차이가 있었다.

두가지 방법의 Tension Suture가 개에서 손상을 입은 피부의 접합에 평가되어졌다. 이들 술식은 Vertical Mattress Tension Suture와 'Walking'봉합이다. 7주후에 타원형으로 손상된 피부의 반흔조직을 추적하여 면적을 측정하였다. 흠손된 피부의 반흔조직의 평균 넓이는 V.M.T.S의 $5.29cm^2$에 비해 'Walking'봉합의 경우는 $2.07cm^2$였다. 이는 'Walking'봉합의 경우가 명백히 반흔조직이 좁다는 것이 관찰되었다. 더구나 어떤 손상의 경우더라도 'Walking'봉합은 열개(봉합한 자국)가 발견되지 아니했다.

The Akin osteotomy is a complimentary procedure in hallux valgus surgery. Surgical techniques may vary depending on the operators or fixation devices. Suture fixation, for which a removal procedure is not necessary, can often be recommended. However, there is a risk of failure due to the thin cortex of the phalanx. We describe a new technique using Ethibond suture fixation in Akin osteotomy, which can lower the risk of phalangeal cortical failure and articular cartilage irritation. First, the Akin osteotomy was performed on the proximal phalanx 5 to 6 mm distal to the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Then bone holes were drilled from dorsum to plantar parallel to osteotomy with the Kirschner wire. The final procedure involved passing the Ethibond sutures connected to a straight needle through the holes and tying it. This fixation method offers an effective and easy technique for performance of Akin osteotomy.

내측 반월상 연골 뿌리 파열은 외상이나 퇴행성으로 생길 수 있으며, 이로 인해 반월상 연골의 돌출, 관절 연골의 손상, 골극의 생성, 내측 관절 간격의 협소를 유발 할 수 있다. 이는 중년이상의 나이에서 주로 발생하며, 외상을 동반하거나 외상없이 생길 수 있다. 본 저자는 13세 청소년에서 야구 경기 도중 발생한 내측 반월상 연골 후각부 뿌리 파열 1예를 경험하였고, 관절경하에 suture anchor를 이용한 직접적 봉합술을 시행하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
