목적: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성 환자에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간의 임상 결과를 후향적으로 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식을 시행받은 환자들 중 최소 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 37례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 수술은 동일한 술자에 의해 이루어졌으며 단일 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 17예, 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 20예 였다. 임상적 결과의 평가는 Karlsson 점수 및 Sefton의 평가법을 이용하였고, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성에 대한 방사선학적 평가로 Telos 기기를 이용한 전방 전위 및 내반 스트레스 검사가 이용되었다. 결과: Karlsson 점수는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 45.2점에서 술 후 89.4점으로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 46.4점에서 90.5점으로 각각 호전되었다. Sefton 평가법상 단일 봉합나사군은 우수가 7예, 양호가 8예, 보통이 2예 였고, 이중 봉합나사군은 우수 8예, 양호 10예, 보통 2예로 나타나 각각 15례(88.2%), 18례(90%)에서 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 스트레스 방사선검사 상 거골 경사각과 거골 전방전위는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 13.6도, 8.6 mm에서 술 후 최종 추시시 5.4도, 4.1 mm로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 14.1도, 8.4 mm에서 술 후 3.9도, 4 mm로 각각 호전되었으며 두 기법간에 술 후 거골 경사각의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간에 술 후 임상 결과의 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성은 이중 봉합나사군에서 더 우수하였다. 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식 모두 효과적인 치료 방법이라고 생각되며, 향후 운동 선수들을 대상으로 한 치료결과 및 생역학적 분석이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Background: Deficits of both ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) and dynamic balance are shown in persons with chronic ankle instability and the elderly, with the risk of falls. Objects: This study aims to investigate the relationship between DFROM and dynamic balance in elderly subjects and young adults. Methods: Fifty-nine subjects were divided into three groups: ankle stability young group (SY), ankle instability young group (IY) and ankle stability older group (SO). We recruited three old subjects with ankle instability, but excluded them during a pilot testing due to the safety issue. DFROM was measured by weight bearing lunge test (WBLT) and dynamic balance was measured via star excursion balance test (SEBT) in anteromedial, medial, and posteromedial directions. The group differences in WBLT and SEBT and each group's correlation between WBLT and SEBT were detected using the R statistical software package. Results: The dorsiflexion range of motion was significantly different between the SY, IY, and SO groups. The SO group showed the highest DFROM and IY group showed the lowest DFROM (SY: $45.88{\pm}.66^{\circ}$, IY: $39.53{\pm}1.63^{\circ}$, SO: $47.94{\pm}.50^{\circ}$; p<.001). However, the SO group showed the lowest dynamic balance score for all SEBT directions (SY: $87.24{\pm}2.05cm$, IY: $83.20{\pm}1.30cm$, SO: $77.23{\pm}2.07cm$; p<.05) and there was no relationship between the dorsiflexion range of motion and dynamic balance in any group. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that ankle DFROM is not a crucial factor for dynamic stability regardless of aging and ankle instability. Other factors such as muscle strength or movement coordination should be considered for training dynamic balance. Therefore, we need to establish the rehabilitation process by measuring and treating ROM, balance, and muscle strength when treating young adults with and without ankle instability as well as elderly people.

족관절 만성 외측 불안정증을 비해부학적인 방법으로 재건한 후에 발생하는 여러가지 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 해부학적으로 재건하는 여러가지 방법이 보고되었다. 해부학적인 위치로 재건하는 것이 정상 관절 역학과 안정성을 회복하는데 중요하다. 해부학적인 재건 방법의 가장 큰 문제점은 인대를 정상적인 주행 방향으로 재건하는 것이 매우 어렵다는 점인데, 저자는 전거비 인대와 종비 인대가 서로 인접하여 위치하므로 두 인대의 비골측 부착부에 한 개의 터널을 만드는 것이 각각의 인대가 통과 할 별도의 터널을 만드는 것보다 좀 더 해부학적이라고 생각하였다. 이 논문에서는 외측 인대의 해부학적 재건에 필요한 기초 지식을 알아보고 반건양건을 이용한 재건 수술 방법을 소개하였다.

Purpose: To investigate clinical features and treatment of os subfibulare Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study on twenty-eight patients who have symtoms associated with os subfibulare. We reviewed charts and radiographs. Thirteen patients were treated surgically and fifteen patients were treated conservatively. We analysed clinical results in 25 patients who were followed for more than one year. Results: Duration from the onset of symtoms to treatment was more than six months in twelve of thirteen surgically treated cases, and in only two of fifteen conservative treated cases. Surgical procedures were internal fixation of the os subfibulare in two patients, and resection of os subfibulare and ligament reconstructions in eleven patients. Clinical results were excellent in six, good in three and poor in two of operatively treated patients. In conservatively treated patients, five excellent, five good, one fair and one poor clinical results were obtained. Conclusion: Os subfibulare is not necessarily a cause of instability and pain, but in cases with chronic pain and/or instability, surgical treatment would result in satisfactory result.

Telomeres consist of tandem guanine-thymine(G-T) repeats in most eukaryotic chromosomes. Human telomeres are predominantly linear, double stranded DNA as they ended in 30-200 nucleotides(bases,b) 3'-overhangs. In DNA replication, removal of the terminal RNA primer from the lagging strand results in a 3'-overhang of uncopied DNA. This is because of bidirectional DNA replication and specificity of unidirectional DNA polymerase. After the replication, parental and daughter DNA strands have unequal lengths due to a combination of the end-replication problem and end-processing events. The gradual chromosome shortening is observed in most somatic cells and eventually leads to cellular senescence. Telomere shortening could be a molecular clock that signals the replicative senescence. The shortening of telomeric ends of human chromosomes, leading to sudden growth arrest, triggers DNA instability as biological switches. In addition, telomere dysfunction may cause chronic allograft nephropathy or kidney cancers. The renal cell carcinoma(RCC) in women may be less aggressive and have less genomic instability than in man. Younger patients with telomere dysfunction are at a higher risk for RCC than older patients. Thus, telomeres maintain the integrity of the genome and are involved in cellular aging and cancer. By studying the telomeric DNA, we may characterize the genetic determinants in diseases and discover the tools in molecular medicine.

Syndesmotic injuries are found frequently in clinical practice, and they remain controversial because of the variety of diagnostic techniques and management options. Bony avulsions or malleolar fractures are commonly associated with syndesmotic disruptions. Even unstable isolated syndesmosis injuries are associated with a latent or frank tibiofibular diastasis and should not be ignored in the early phase. A relevant instability of the syndesmosis with diastasis results from collateral ligaments tears and requires operative stabilization. The treatment involves an anatomic reduction of the distal tibiofibular articulations followed by stable fixation. Syndesmotic transfixation screws or suture button implants are being proposed as a means of fixation. Recently, suture button fixation has shown more favorable outcomes, but the outcomes can still be controversial. Syndesmotic malreduction can lead to hardware failure, adhesions, heterotopic ossification, tibiofibular synostosis, chronic instability, and posttraumatic arthritis. In particular, the correct diagnosis and evidence-based treatment options for unstable syndesmotic injury should be considered.

Purpose: Anterior drawer and varus stress test are commonly used for radiologic evaluation of chronic lateral ankle instability. However, there are controversies regarding the method of measurement and the normal value. This study was performed to investigate radiologic normal values in normal Korean adults and to analyze differences by age and gender. Materials and Methods: Sixty Korean adults were recruited and divided in three groups (20 in their twenties, 20 in their thirties, 20 in their forties). There were 10 males and 10 females in each group. The selection criteria were no history of ankle injury and no evidence of instability on physical examination. Radiologic measurement of varus talar tilt and anterior talar translation were performed through anterior and varus stress radiographs using Telos device (150N force). The measurement was repeated twice by three researchers, and intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability were analyzed. The average talar tilt and anterior talar translation were obtained. Results: Talar tilt and anterior talar translation on ankle stress radiographs had good intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability. Talar tilt was average $3.7^{\circ}$ and $5.1^{\circ}$ in male and female of twenties of age, $3.9^{\circ}$ and $4.8^{\circ}$ in their thirties, $3.4^{\circ}$ and $4.5^{\circ}$ in their forties. Anterior talar translation was average 3.5 mm and 4.2 mm in their twenties, 4.1 mm and 3.8 mm in their thirties, 3.6 mm and 4.1 mm in their forties. There was no significant difference in talar tilt and anterior talar translation by age. However, there was significant difference in talar tilt by gender. Conclusion: Normal range of talar tilt angle in Korean adults was below $8.3^{\circ}$, and normal range of anterior talar translation was below 7.6 mm. It seems to be able to serve as a good reference for radiologic evaluation and for treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability.
