Crown-type implant-assisted removable partial dentures (CIRPDs) can be a feasible treatment option for partially edentulous patients. Here we report a case with remaining unilateral mandibular teeth. Two implants were placed in the posterior portion of the mandible using a surgical guide, and a distal-extension removable partial denture with implant-supported surveyed crowns was fabricated. After 12 months, both the abutment teeth and implants were in good condition. The treatment outcomes were satisfactory in terms of masticatory function and esthetics. The advantages of CIRPDs and considerations for obtaining successful clinical outcomes with these dentures are also discussed.

The purpose of this study is a comparative evaluation of range motion, especially extension deficit between the group of total patellectomy and that of intact patella, after reconstruction of the patellar tendon in the prosthetic replacement of a proximal tibia. Between 1990 and 1994, 15 patients who had a primary malignancy on proximal tibia were operated on. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Two patients were excluded because one had a deep infection treated with arthrodesis of the knee and the other was a composite allograft. The mean follow-up of the 13 patients was 27 months(15-47), including 10 osteosarcomas, 1 chondrosarcoma, 1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma and 1 malignant giant cell tumor. Eleven patients had a resection of the proximal tibia and 2 had an extracapsular total knee resection with distal femur. Reconstruction of the defect was done in 8 cases with a custom-made Link Endo-Model Total Rotation Knee Joint Prosthesis, and in 5 with How Medica Modular Resection System (HMRS). We used two methods to reconstruct the ligamentum patellae. Fixation of the patellar tendon to the prosthesis only with suturing and/or stapling(group SS) was done in 7. Transposition of gastrocnemius muscle to enhance fixation and to cover the prosthesis(group TG) was done in 6. Regardless of fixation methods, total patellectomy was done in 5 either to lengthen the patellar tendon or to make primary skin closure easier or for both. In 8 cases, patella was left intact or resurfaced with polyethylene prosthesis. Active extension was measured while the patient was in a sitting position. There is no statistically meaningful difference in terms of extension deficit (Wilcoxon rank test, p=0.8800) between patellectomy group and intact patella group, and between group of fixation only with suturing and that of gastrocnemius transposition. Two cases of extension deficit over 30 degree were seen in group SS and in the group of intact patella. Conclusively, total patellectomy could be an option without increasing the risk of extension deficit when primary skin closure is difficult or patellar tendon is a little bit short to be fixed. There is no rating in the Enneking system of functional evaluation that this finding into consideration.

In adults, mallet finger is a traumatic zone I lesion of the extensor tendon with either tendon rupture or bony avulsion at the base of the distal phalanx. High-energy mechanisms of injury generally occur in young men, whereas lower energy mechanisms are observed in elderly women. The mechanism of injury is an axial load applied to a straight digit tip, which is then followed by passive extreme distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) hyperextension or hyperflexion. Mallet finger is diagnosed clinically, but an X-ray should always be performed. Tubiana's classification takes into account the size of the bony articular fragment and DIPJ subluxation. We propose to stage subluxated fractures as stage III if the subluxation is reducible with a splint and as stage IV if not. Left untreated, mallet finger becomes chronic and leads to a swan-neck deformity and DIPJ osteoarthritis. The goal of treatment is to restore active DIPJ extension. The results of a six- to eight-week conservative course of treatment with a DIPJ splint in slight hyperextension for tendon lesions or straight for bony avulsions depends on patient compliance. Surgical treatments vary in terms of the approach, the reduction technique, and the means of fixation. The risks involved are stiffness, septic arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Given the lack of consensus regarding indications for treatment, we propose to treat all cases of mallet finger with a dorsal glued splint except for stage IV mallet finger, which we treat with extra-articular pinning.

Purpose: The purpose of the present current study was to examine control of upper limb multi-joint movements with differential coordination stability. To achieve the goals of the study, torque analyses were utilized to answer questions about how torque components were differed among various elbow-wrist coordination patterns. Methods: Eight self-reported right-handed college students (3 males and 5 females, mean age=20.6 yr) were volunteered. The task required participants to rhythmically coordinate the flexion-extension motions of their elbow and wrist with coordination relationship of $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $180^{\circ}$relative phases between the two joints. Mean relative phase and phase stability (standard deviation of relative phase) were computed to for analysisze of overall coordination performance. To determine the figure out characteristics of torque components in elbow and wrist joints, impulse values of muscle torque (MT) and interactive torque (IT) and MT as a percentage of cycle duration (MT-PCD) were analyzed. Results: Torque results showed that the proximal elbow joint generated motions with mainly muscle efforts regardless of coordination patterns, while the distal wrist joint adjusted the coordination patterns by changing amount of MT. Impulse analyses showed that the least stable $90^{\circ}$ pattern was performed by utilizing a similar coordination strategy of the most stable $0^{\circ}$ pattern. Conclusion: The present current study suggests that the roles of distal and proximal joints differ in order to achieve various multi-joint coordination movements. This study provides information for use in gives an idea to development of rehabilitation or training programs for to persons with an impaired upper limb motor ability.

Knowledge of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) relationship and anatomic variations of the first extensor compartment (1st EC) will contribute to a better outcome of de Quervain tenosynovitis treatment. We dissected 87 embalmed cadaveric wrists to determine the relationship of the SRN, the 1st EC length, distance from the proximal and distal 1st EC borders to radial styloid process (RSP), abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendon slip numbers, and the presence of septum. Our results revealed SRN crossing over the 1st EC in 59.5%. The lateral branch of the superficial radial nerve to the 1st EC midline in most cases (61.9%) except for one specimen, where lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve was the closest. Distances from proximal and distal 1st EC borders to the RSP were 19.7±4.1 mm and 7.6±1.8 mm, respectively. Extensor retinaculum (ER) width over 1st EC (1st EC length) was 14.8±3.2 mm. Complete and incomplete septa were found in 17.2%, and 42.5%, respectively. The most frequent APL tendon slip number in the compartment was two in overall 47 specimens (54.0%). Almost all compartments (85 specimens; 97.7%) contained one EPB tendon slip. We detected bilateral EPB absence in one cadaver. Moreover, we recorded a tendon slip from extensor pollicis longus traveling into 1st EC bilaterally in one cadaver and observed the EPB muscle belly extension into 1st EC in 9 wrists. Awareness of 1st EC anatomic variations would be essential for successful surgical and nonsurgical outcomes.

하악 우측 제1대구치 및 제2대구치가 손실된 2급하악 후방연장 국소의치에서 무치악 부위 지대치 유도면의 기울기와 형태가 지지조직에 미치는 응력 및 변위를 비교 분석하기 위하여 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 알아보았다. Kratochvil 형태의 유도면의 기울기가 잔존치조제에 대하여 $90^{\circ}$인 경우, $95^{\circ}$인 경우, 그리고 $100^{\circ}$인 경우와 Krol형태의 유도면의 기울기가 $90^{\circ}$인 경우에 있어서 제2소구치를 지대치로 하고 RPI형태의 유지장치를 사용하는 경우를 가정하여 모델링한 다음 제1대구치 및 제2대구치의 중심와에 150N의 하중을 가하여 응력 및 변위에 대하여 실험한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Kratochvil의 유도면 형태 중 기울기가 $90^{\circ}$인 경우와 Krol의 유도면 형태에서는 유사한 응력 분포를 나타내었으며 특히 지대치에서 치근단 방향으로 응력이 향하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 유도면의 기울기가 $95^{\circ}$인 경우에서는 지대치의 치근단 부위에 응력이 증가하면서 근심방향으로 향하였으며, $100^{\circ}$인 경우에서는 치근단의 응력이 협측 및 근협측 방향으로 집중되어 나타났다. 3. 유도면의 기울기가 $90^{\circ}$인 경우에서는 지대치의치근이 조금 시계방향으로 비틀리는 양상으로 나타났으며, Krol의 유도면 형태에서는 지대치가 치근단 부위에서는 원설측으로 치경부에서는 근협측으로 변위되었다. 4. 유도면의 기울기가 $95^{\circ}$인 경우에서는 지대치의 치근은 치근단 부위에서 근설측으로 약간 변위되었고 치경부 방향으로 갈수록 반시계 방향으로 비틀리면서 보다 많이 변위되었으며, $100^{\circ}$인 경우에서는 지대치 치근단에서는 근협측으로 변위되었고 치경부방향으로 갈수록 시계방향으로 비틀리면서 보다 많이 변위되었다.

오랜 기간 국소의치를 장착한 부분 무치악 환자에서, 치아가 결손된 부위는 점진적인 치조골의 흡수가 발생되는 반면, 잔존 지대치 부위는 치조골이 유지되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 차후 잔존 지대치를 상실한 후에도 치아 상실의 시점에 따라 수직적인 골 높이의 현저한 차이를 나타낸다. 이와 같이 전체 치아 발거 후 상하악 악간 거리가 좌우측 또는 전후방으로 다르게 나타나는 환자에서 임플란트를 이용한 고정성 보철물이나 임플란트 피개의치의 제작 시 여러 가지 보철적 문제가 야기될 수 있다. 본 논문은 구치부 결손으로 인해 오랫동안 국소의치를 사용했던 환자에서 치아 상실 후 잔존 치조골의 높이를 고려하여 임플란트 지지 국소의치를 제작한 증례로서 잔존 치조골 량이 많아 악간거리가 짧은 전치부는 임플란트를 식립하여 고정성 보철물로, 오랫동안 치조골의 흡수로 인해 악간거리가 긴 구치부는 국소의치로 수복하였다. 본 증례에서의 임플란트 지지 국소의치는 부가적인 수술이 없이 소수의 임플란트를 식립하고 환자에게 기존 보철물의 양식과 유사한 보철물을 제공함으로서 경제적이고 편안한 치료결과를 보여주었다.

후방연장 국소의치에 임플란트를 보조적으로 이용함으로써 부가적으로 유지와 지지를 얻는 임플란트 보조 국소의치(IARPD)에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 주로 증례발표나 단기적 결과평가에 그치고 있어 철저한 문헌 고찰이 필요하다. PubMed를 이용하여 검색한 IARPD에 대한 문헌은 대부분 실험실 연구이며 낮은 수준의 근거를 가진 임상연구가 대부분이었다. IARPD의 적응증은 아직 완전한 합의에 도달하지는 않았지만 후방연장 부분무치악이 대부분이다. 이 경우 환자들은 연조직의 하방이동이 적어 높은 만족감을 나타내었고 부착장치를 추가 시 만족도가 더욱 증가하였다. 또한 IARPD는 잔존치조제 흡수를 감소시키는 것으로 보인다. IARPD에는 최대한 길이가 길고 직경이 넓은 임플란트가 권장되며, 임플란트 식립위치는 이견이 있으나 제 2소구치 부위나 제2대구치 부위를 선택적으로 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 임플란트는 $15^{\circ}$ 정도의 경사식립도 응력분산에는 무리가 없다고 한다. 임플란트에 치유지대주를 연결하면 풀림이나 파절이 보고되고 있어 개량형 지지-지대주나 탄성 부착장치를 사용하는 것이 좋다. 하지만 자연치 지대치에 사용하는 유지장치와 IARPD를 조화시키는 방법이나 장기적 예후에 대한 추가연구가 필요하다 하겠다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of a PNF intervention using elastic bands on edema, range of motion (ROM), and pain in post-mastectomy patients with upper limb lymphedema, according to their hand grip type. Methods: The subjects were 14 female patients who were at Stage II lymphedema after undergoing mastectomy for Stage II breast cancer. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n =7) and a control group (n = 7). Both groups participated in a treatment program four times (one time under the therapist's instructions and three times as self-exercise) a week for 4 weeks. Both groups repeated an upper limb PNF pattern exercise for 30 min using elastic bands after receiving a manual lymph drainage treatment for 1 hour. Here, subjects in the experimental group performed the PNF exercise with an open-hand grip by putting their hands into the loops of elastic bands and keeping their fingers spread out. Subjects in the control group performed the PNF exercise with a closed-hand grip by holding the loops of elastic bands with their fingers. In both groups, the subjects' edema, ROM, and pain levels were measured before the intervention and 2, 3 and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results: As a result of the experiment, both groups demonstrated edema reductions, ROM increases, and pain reductions in four areas of the upper limbs. Notably, the experimental group exhibited larger ROM increases in flexion, extension, and abduction as well as greater edema and pain reductions than the control group. In particular, the most significant effects were found in the elbow of the four upper limb areas for edema reductions and in extension for ROM increases. Conclusion: The present study indicates that exercise therapy-based approaches using elastic bands in post-mastectomy patients with upper limb lymphedema can have different effects depending on the type of hand grip (open or closed), which is the body's most distal part. Therefore, these approaches should be based on the conditions of the distal parts of the patient's body for their effective applications in clinical practice.
