  • Giant cell tumor of bone is relatively common neoplasm usually involving epiphysis of long bone. And rarely it involves the diaphysis or metaphysis without epiphyseal extension. We report on an 18-year-old girl with giant cell tumor of ulnar diaphysis. She was treated with wide excision and reconstuction with nonvascularized autogenous fibular graft. We harvested fibular fragment preserving fibular continuity to reduce donor site morbidity. Surgical outcome and functional result was excellent.

  • Purpose This study is to examine of Neurometer for the diagnosis of cold hypersensitivity Method Among patients who visited the oriental gynecological department in Kangnam Korean Hospital from October. 2000 to December. 2000, 37 women were diagnosed as cold hypersensitivity by D.I.T.I. We measured the limbs' temperature by D.I.T.I. and Current perception threshold(CPT) of median N., ulnar N., radial N., peroneal N., sural N., tibial N., saphenous N. by neurometer Patients were divided into mild and severe group depending on the temperature difference between proximalis and distalis in limbs Result and Conclusion 1. In severe group, CPT of median N., ulnar N., radial N. was higher on 250Hz and 200Hz. 2. In severe group, Mean CPT of peroneal N., sural N., tibial N., saphenous N. was higher on every Hz.

  • A wild Falco tinnunculus, which is a small raptor, was rescued and presented due to immobilization. On physical examination, a left ulnar fracture was detected, which was reduced with an intramedullary (IM) pin and soft bandaging. Passive range of motion (PROM) exercises were then conducted to prevent complications such as ankylosis. The raptor was released into the wild four weeks postoperatively. We suggest that IM pinning with bandaging and appropriate PROM exercises may effectively treat ulnar fractures in small raptors.

  • In this case report, we present a rare case of lipoma of the tendon sheath localized to the wrist which caused median entrapment neuropathy and was successfully treated with surgical excision. Dynamic examination using ultrasonography revealed the exact location of the lipoma. Electrodiagnostic study (EDX) was done before surgery to elucidate combined neuropathy, and surgery for ulnar neuropathy around elbow was also performed simultaneously. Diagnostic ultrasound can be used for dynamic examinations with real-time visualization.

  • A Monteggia fracture is a proximal ulnar fracture with proximal radioulnar ligamentous instability. While there is no precise definition, Monteggia-equivalent fractures are generally considered Monteggia fractures accompanied by radial head fractures. These are rare. In this study, we report a rare variation of a Bado type IV Monteggia-equivalent lesion (fracture of proximal ulnar shaft, proximal radial shaft, and radial head) and its management.

  • Background: In belly-tendon (bipolar) montage, reference (R2) electrode placed on muscle's tendon has traditionally been considered to be electrically inactive. However, recent studies have revealed that R2 electrode is not simply referential, but actively contributes to compound muscle action potential (CMAP) waveform morphology. These findings suggest that CMAP onset latency and amplitude may also be influenced by the position of R2 electrode. This study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of R2 electrode position on CMAP onset latency and amplitude. Methods: We performed motor nerve conduction studies of median, ulnar, tibial and peroneal nerves on bilateral limbs of 20 normal subjects. We used traditional bipolar and monopolar montage and compared their CMAP onset latencies and amplitudes. In bipolar montage, recording (R1) electrode was placed on mid-belly of muscle with R2 electrode on the tendon of the muscle. In monopolar montage, R1 electrode was placed on the same site of bipolar montage, while R2 electrode was placed on the contralateral limb. Results: The mean CMAP onset latencies of median and peroneal nerves in bipolar montage were significantly different (p<0.05) with those in monopolar montage. And those of ulnar and tibial nerves were not significantly different (p>0.05). The mean CMAP amplitudes of all the tested nerves except ulnar nerve were significantly different (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study shows that change in R2 electrode position can affect the CMAP onset latency and amplitude, and these differences seem to be related to the generation of far field potential by CMAP.

  • Objective : Acupuncture therapy is known as a effective method to pain control including elbow area pain. To make clear about effectiveness of acupuncture affecting to recovery of grip power for the patient with elbow area pain, we compare the patients recieved acupuncture treatment to people with elbow pain unrecieved acupuncture treatment. Material and Methods : This clinical study has been carried out with 30 cases of patients with elbow area pain. 20 patients divides into two groups were treated by acupuncture in MPS with elbow area. Two groups were radial area pain group and ulnar area pain group. The other 10 people with elbow area pain working a resturant in Ilsan were no treatment. The study was applicated and estimated grip power before 1 st treatment and after each treatment for 4 days. Results : 1. In the radial area pain group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.007). 2. In the ulnar area group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.037). 3. The effectiveness of acupunctrue treatment is no differnce between radial area pain and ulnar area pain(P<0.529) 4. In the elbow area pain group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion : These results shows that acupuncture treatment is effective in elbow area pain.
