Purpose: We try to evaluate the clinical results of the acute Achilles tendon rupture treated with Krackow suture technique. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 27 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture treated between October 2005 and September 2007. There were 26 complete ruptures and 1 incomplete rupture. All were ruptured at tendinous area. There were 21 men and 6 women, and mean age was 38 years. We repaired ruptured Achilles tendon with Krackow suture technique. The results were evaluated with Arner-Lindholm scale for patients' satisfaction, strength of calf muscle power, calf circumference, and ankle motion. The average follow-up was 29 months. Results: The patients' subjective clinical results was excellent in 25 cases and good in 2 cases. There were 15 cases of less than 1 cm, 6 cases of 1${\sim}$3 cm, and 1 case of more than 3 cm in the calf circumference difference between the normal and affected leg. There were 20 cases of less than 5 degrees, and 2 cases of more 5 degrees in the difference of range of motion between the normal and affected ankle. We had an experience of postoperative deep infection in one diabetic patient. Conclusion: We had a good clinical result for acute Achilles tendon rupture treated with Krackow suture method. So we recommand Krackow suture technique for acute Achilles tendon rupture.

증식치료는 정상세포나 조직을 성장시키기 위해 성장인자 또는 성장인자 생성 자극제를 주사하는 것이다. 비록 수십 년 동안 논쟁이 되어 오고 있지만 갈수록 더 많은 의사들이 증식치료를 시술하고 있다. 증식치료라는 단어는 1950년 대에 Hacket에 의해 기술되었는데 인대나 근건에 있는 정상조직의 증식을 의미 하였다. 인대 염좌 등의 불완전한 치료는 만성 통증뿐만 아니라 관절불안 등을 초래하고 골관절염의 진행을 촉진할 수 있다. 증식치료는 통상적인 치료에 불응하는 이러한 근골격계 질환에 사용된다. 사용되는 증식제나 수기는 의사마다 수련과정 또는 선호도에 따라 차이가 있을 수 있지만 최근 가장 많이 사용되는 증식제는 10~25%의 포도당이다. 고해상도 초음파기기의 발전에 따라 인대나 근건 등을 실시간으로 볼 수 있게 됨에 따라 이를 증식치료에 접목하여 수기의 정밀도를 높이고 주입되는 약의 확산을 확인 할 수 있게 되었고 그 치료 결과를 기록할 수 있게 되었다.

The purpose of this study was to compare pregnant women's gait parameters and mechanical energies caused by changes in hormone levels and anatomical features such as body mass, body-mass distribution, joint laxity, and musculo-tendinous strength from pregnancy to postpartum. Ten subjects (height: $161{\pm}6.5cm$, mass: $62.7{\pm}10.4\;kg$, $66.4{\pm}9.3\;kg$, $68.4{\pm}7.7\;kg$, $57.2{\pm}7.7\;kg$) participated in the four times experiments (the first, middle, last term and after birth) and walked ten trials at a self-selected pace without shoes. The gait motions were captured with Qualisys system and gait parameters were calculated with Visual-3D. Pregnant women's gait velocities were decreased during the pregnancy periods, but increased after birth. Stride width and cycle time were increased during pregnancy, but decreased after birth. Thigh energy (77.4%) was greater than shank energy (19.06%) or feet (3.54%) about total energy of the lower limbs. Their feet (Left R2=0.881, Right R2=0.852) and shank (Left R2=0.318, Right R2=0.226) energies were significantly increased (positive correlation), but double limb stance time (DLST, R2=0.679) and body total energy (R2=0.138) were decreased (negative correlation) for their velocities. These differences suggest that thigh segment may be a dominant segment among lower limbs, and have something to do with gait velocities. Further studies should investigate joint power and joint work to find energy dissipation or absorption from pregnancy period to postpartum.

Objective: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a nonsurgical treatment alternative to surgery for various musculoskeletal diseases that have traditionally been difficult to treat conservatively, including calcific tendinitis, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis. This study evaluated the effect of focused and radial shock wave therapy for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Design: Randomized controlled study Methods: Forty participants with calcific tendinitis were randomized into focused shock wave therapy (FSWT, n=20) and radial shock wave therapy (RSWT, n=20) groups. Patients were examined before and one week after treatment. Pain intensity was subjectively assessed using the visual analogue scale and function was assessed using the Constant-Murley score (CMS) and range of motion (ROM). Results: The results showed a significant decrease in pain and significant increase in shoulder mobility and function in both groups. However, FSWT was significantly more effective than RSWT, based on CMS and ROM assessment. Conclusions: Although it is possible to raise the energy intensity of RSWT to increase the depth at which the energy becomes dispersed, higher energy intensity is associated with a greater risk of severe neurovascular damage, and that high-intensity stimulation can cause adverse effects such as pain and petechiae. Therefore, FSWT is considered to be a safe and effective method for treating tendinous lesions while minimizing adverse effects. In conclusion, both FSWT and RSWT can reduce pain and increase mobility and function. FSWT can be considered as an alternative for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.

Objective : We aimed to analyze the effectiveness of external neurolysis on the common peroneal nerve (CPN) in patients with posture-induced compressive peroneal neuropathy (PICPNe). Further, we aimed to examine the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing the severity of denervation status and predicting the postoperative prognosis. Methods : We included 13 patients (eight males and five females) with foot drop who underwent CPN decompression between 2018 and 2020. We designed a grading system for assessing the postoperative functional outcome. Additionally, we performed MRI to evaluate the denervation status of the affected musculature and its effect on postoperative recovery. Results : The median time to surgery was 3 months. The median preoperative ankle dorsiflexion and eversion grades were both 3, while the average functional grade was 1. Posterior crural intermuscular septum was the most common cause of nerve compression, followed by deep tendinous fascia and anterior crural intermuscular septum. There was a significant postoperative improvement in the median postoperative ankle dorsiflexion and eversion grades and average postoperative functional (4, 5, and 2.38, respectively). Preoperative ankle eversion was significantly correlated with denervation status. Additionally, the devernation status on MRI was positively correlated with the outcome favorability. However, denervation atrophy led to a less favorable outcome. Conclusion : Among patients with intractable PICPNe despite conservative management, surgical intervention could clinically improve motor function and functional ability. Additionally, MRI examination of the affected muscle could help diagnose CPNe and assess the postoperative prognosis.

The current cadaveric report describes an unusual morphology of the sartorius muscle (SM), the biceps-bicaudatus variant. The SM had two (lateral and medial) heads, with distinct tendinous origins from the anterior superior iliac spine. The lateral head was further split into a lateral and a medial bundle. The anterior cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve emerged between the origins of the lateral and medial heads. SM morphological variants are exceedingly uncommon, with only a few documented cases in the literature, and several terms used for their description. Although their rare occurrence, they may play an important role in the differential diagnosis of entrapment syndromes, in cases of neural compressions, such as meralgia paresthetica, while careful dissection during the superficial inter-nervous plane of the direct anterior hip approach is of utmost importance, to avoid adverse effects due to the altered SM morphology.

The soft tissue defects including the Achilles tendon are complex and very difficult to reconstruct. Recently, several free composite flaps including the tendon have been used to reconstruct large defects in this area in an one-stage effort. Our case presents a patient reconstructed with free composite dorsalis pedis flap along with the extensor digitorum longus and superficial peroneal nerve for extensive defects of the Achilles tendon and surrounding soft tissue. A 36-year-old-man sustained an open injury to the Achilles tendon. He was referred to our department with gross infection of the wound and complete rupture of the tendon associated with loss of skin following reduction of distal tibial bone fracture. After extensive debridement, $6{\times}8cm$ of skin loss and 8cm of tendon defect was noted. Corresponding to the size of the defect, the composite dorsalis pedis flap was raised as a neurosensory unit including the extensor digitorum longus to provide tendon repair and sensate skin for an one-stage reconstruction. One tendon slip was sutured to the soleus musculotendinous portion, the other two were sutured to the gastrocnemius musculotendinous portion with 2-0 Prolene. The superficial peroneal nerve was then coaptated to the medial sural cutaneous nerve. The anterior tibial artery and vein were anastomosed to the posterior tibial artery and accompanying vein in an end to end fashion. After 12 months of follow-up, 5 degrees of dorsiflexion due to the checkrein deformity and 58 degrees of plantar flexion was achieved. The patient was able to walk without crutches. Twopoint discrimination and moving two-point discrimination were more than 1mm at the transferred flap site. The donor site healed uneventfully. Of the various free composite flaps for the Achilles tendon reconstruction when skin coverage is also needed, we recommand the composite dorsalis pedis flap. The advantages such as to control infection, adequate restoration of ankle contour for normal foot wear, transfer of the long tendinous portion, and protective sensation makes this flap our first choice for reconstruction of soft tissue defect including the Achilles tendon.

Purpose: Hands are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment, using anywhere from the roughest motor skills to the finest, and since the fingertips contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings on the human body, they are continuously used organ with complex functions, and therefore, often gets injured. To prevent any functional loss, a detailed anatomical knowledge is required to have a perfect surgical treatment. Also it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of arrangements of the human extensor tendons and intertendinous connections when tenoplasty or tendon transfer is required. We performed a study of the arrangements of the human extensor tendons and the configuration of the intertendinous connections over the dorsum of the wrist and hand. Methods: A total of 58 hands from Korean cadavers were dissected. The arrangements of extensor indicis proprius, extensor digitorum communis, and extensor digiti minimi tendons and intertendinous connections were studied. Results: The most common distribution patterns of the extensor tendons of the fingers were as follows: a single extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon which inserted ulnar to the extensor digitorum-index (EDC-index); a single EDC-index; a single EDC-middle; a double EDC-ring; an absent EDC-little; a double extensor digiti minimi (EDM), a single EDC-index (98.3%), a single EDC-middle (62%), a double EDC-ring (50%), and an absent (65.5%) or a single (32.8%) EDC-little. A double (70.6%) EDM tendons were seen. Intertendinous connections were classified into 3 types: type 1 with thin filamentous type, type 2 with a thick filamentous type, and type 3 with a tendinous type subdivided to r shaped 3r type and y shaped 3y type. The most common patterns were type 1 in the 2nd intermetacarpal space, type 2 in the 3rd intermetacarpal space, and type 3r in the 4th intermetacarpal space. And in the present study, we observed one case of the extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) on the boht side. Conclusion: A knowledge of both the usual and possible variations of the extensor tendon and the intertendinous connection is useful in the identification and repair of these structures.
