Background: To compare the effect of different starting periods of rehabilitative exercise (early or delayed passive exercise) on the rate of retear and other clinical outcomes after the arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff. Methods: In total, 103 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff were included in the study. Determined at 2 weeks post-operation, patients who were incapable of passive forward elevation greater than $90^{\circ}$ were allotted to the early exercise group (group I: 79 patients; 42 males, 37 females), whilst those capable were allotted to the delayed exercise group (group II: 24 patients; 14 males, 10 females). The group I started passive exercise, i.e. stretching, within 2 weeks of operation, whilst group II started within 6 weeks. The results were compared on average 15.8 months (11-49 months) post-operation using the passive range of motion, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score, and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Constant scores. Stiffness was defined as passive forward elevation or external rotation of less than $30^{\circ}C$ compared to the contralateral side. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was carried out on average 1 year post-operation and the rate of retear was compared with Sugaya's criteria. Results: There were no differences between the two groups in gender, age, smoking, presence of diabetes, arm dominance, period of tear unattended, pre-operative range of motion, shape and size of tear, degree of tendon retraction, and tendon quality. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes. Whilst stiffness was more frequent in group II (p-value 0.03), retear was more frequent in group I (p-value 0.028) according to the MRI follow-up. Conclusions: During rehabilitation after the arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff, the delay of passive exercise seems to decrease the rate of retear but increase the risk of stiffness.

Fourteen Infants with congenital cardiac anomalies underwent primary surgical Intervention within the first 12 months of life. There were eight patients with ventricular septal defect, two with total anomalous pulmonary venous return [TAPVR], and the remainders with tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of great arteries [d-TGA], Taussing-Bing malformation, and coronary A-V fistula. The age of the patients ranged from 5 to 12 months, with a mean age of 9.9 months. The mean weight was 6.7 Kg [3.8 to 9.5 KS]. Congestive heart failure persisting despite intensive medical treatment was present In 8 patients [56%], and was the most common indication for operation. Early operation was necessary in 5 of these patients [35%], because of failure to thrive and recurrent pulmonary infection. In one patient with TOF, frequent hypoxic spell prompted the necessity for early operation. In cases of VSD, TAP. VR, TOF, and coronary A-V fistula, Intracardiac repair was done with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass, chemical cold cardioplegia, and topical myocardial cooling. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with surface induced cooling, followed by core cooling and core rewarming, was employed .for better exposure in the cases of d-TGA and Taussing-Bing malformation. The results were however, not satisfactory. The overall mortality was 28 per cent. There were no deaths in the eight patients with VSD. The one with coronary A-V fistula survived. The other 5 cases all expired either on the table or immediately after operation. The non-fatal post-operative complications included low cardiac output, respiratory insufficiency, bleeding, and temporary A-V block. The causes of death were prolonged circulatory arrest time in d-TGA, complete A-V block and low cardiac output in TOF and Taussing-Bing malformation and prolonged bypass time and Inadequate correction in TAPVR.

Objective : Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is becoming the preferred treatment for degenerative lumbar diseases. As beginners, we performed 143 surgeries over 19 months. In these consecutive cases, we analyzed the learning curve and reviewed the complications in our experience. Methods : This was a retrospective study; however, complications that were well known in the previous literature were strictly recorded prospectively. We followed up the changes in estimated blood loss (EBL), operation time, and transient psoas paresis according to case accumulation to analyze the learning curve. Results : Complication-free patients accounted for 43.6% (12.9%, early stage 70 patients and 74.3%, late stage 70 patients). The most common complication was transient psoas paresis (n=52). Most of these complications occurred in the early stages of learning. C-reactive protein normalization was delayed in seven patients (4.89%). The operation time showed a decreasing trend with the cases; however, EBL did not show any significant change. Notable operation-induced complications were cage malposition, vertebral body fracture, injury to the ureter, and injury to the lumbar vein. Conclusion : According to the learning curve, the operation time and psoas paresis decreased. It is important to select an appropriately sized cage along with clear dissection of the anterior border of the psoas muscle to prevent OLIF-specific complications.

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between a rupture of the hypovascular zone and early single heel raising after Achilles tendon repair. Materials and Methods: From January 2012 to August 2015, 68 patients, who underwent surgical treatment for a Achilles tendon rupture using Krackow method, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to possibility of single heel raises within 3 months postoperatively. During the periodic outpatient observations, the visual analogue scale, Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS), and timing capable single heel raises were evaluated. In addition, the preoperative defect size and distance between the calcaneal osteotendinous junction and the rupture site were measured by ultrasound in all cases. Results: Twenty-three patients could perform a single heel raise within 3 months after surgery (early single heel raise group), and fortyfive patients could perform a single heel raise after 3 month postoperatively. The age, gender, body mass index, smoking, and operation delay were similar in the two groups. In addition, the defect size and distance between the calcaneal osteotendinous junction and rupture site as measured by preoperative ultrasound were similar (p=0.379 and p=0.631, respectively). On the other hand, when the rupture site was divided into the hypovascular zone (4~7 cm from calcaneal osteotendinous junction) and non-hypovascular zone, the hypovascular zone rupture rate was significantly lower in the early single heel raise group (60.9%, 14/23; 91.1%, 41/45; p=0.003). In logistic regression analysis, the odds of the hypovascular zone rupture group being capable of early single heel raise were 0.189 (p=0.017). The ATRS score at 3 months and 1 year after surgery were significantly higher in the early single heel raise group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Achilles tendon rupture at the hypovascular zone is a poor prognostic factor for early single heel raise and might affect the prognosis significantly after an Achilles tendon rupture operation.

배경: 폰탄 술식의 여러 변형에 대한 술후 성적은 시간이 지날수록 점차 향상되고는 있으나 아직까지 만족할 만한 수준은 아니다. 본 교실에서는 향후 폰탄 수술의 변형법의 재고를 위해 최근 실시한 심외도관 폰탄수술의 조기 결과를 분석하고 자기공명촬영술을 이용해 술 후 심외 도관의 내경의 변화를 관찰하였다. 대상및 방법: 1997년 4월부터 2000년 7월까지 본원에서 심외도관 폰탄 수술을 시행한 12명의 환아를 대상으로 후향적 조사를 하였다. 남녀 각각 6명이었고 수술당시 평균연령과 체중은 각각 42.04$\pm$12.43개월(26.5~~65개월)과 13.80$\pm$1.94kg(11.0~l7.9kg)이었다. 평균수술시간은 455$\pm$89.51분(360~615분)이었으며, 평균 체외순환시간은 109.7$\pm$26.99(67~165)분이었다. 모든 례에서 대동맥차단은 필요치 않았으며 10례(83.3%)에서 4mm 혹은 5mm의 Gore-Tex도관을 이용한 심방과의 개통(Fenestration)을 만들어 주었다. 결과: 수술사망 및 술후 사망은 없었으며 술후 모든 환자에서 정상동율동이 유지되었다. 지연 흉막 삼출(Prolonged pleural effusion)은 4례(33.3%)에서 발생하였으며 이 중 4주이상 흉막삼출이 지속되었던 경우가 1례(8.3%)였다 술 후 혈전전색증은 없었으며 단백 소실성 장염이 1례(8.3%)였다. 자기공명혈관촬영(MR angiography)상 전 환자에서 심외도관의 협착이나 혈전은 발견되지 않았고 자기공명촬영술Magnetic resonance image)로 측정한 심외도관의 내경은 평균 17.5$\pm$0.66mm(16.6~18.6mm)로 실제도관의 내경보다 평균 1.9$\pm$0.88mm(9.84$\pm$3.84%)로 좁아져 있어 비교적 매우 넓은 내경을 유지하고 있음을 확인하였다. 추적기간과 내경의 감소의 정도는편상관분석한 결과 상관계수(r)이 0.019로 도출되어 통계학적으로 상관이 없었다(p=0.955). 결론: 심외 도관 폰탄 술식이 단심실의 생리학적 기능을 가진 여러 가지 다양한 복잡 심기형 환자에게 여전히 유용한 수술적 고려가 될 수 있으며 중 단기 추적조사 결과 도관 내경의 감소는 술 후 기간과는 통계학적 상관관계가 없었다.

배경 및 목적: 폐동맥밴딩술(pulmonary artery banding)은 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 합병증과 2차 수술시의 사망률에 있어서 상당한 위험부담을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폐동맥밴딩술후에 시행되는 2차 수술의 위험부담을 알아보기 위해서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 시행된 2차 완전교정술의 성적을 조사하였다. 방법: 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 환아들중 1988년 5월부터 1997년 6월사이에 개심술에 의한 2차 완전교정술을 받았던 29례의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 연령은 생후 2개월에서 45개월까지 였다(평균 20.6$\pm$9.0개월). 이들중 27례는 기왕의 폐동맥밴딩술후에 심부전 증상이 호전되었던 예들이었고(정기 수술군), 2례는 그렇지 못하여 조기에 2차 수술을 시행해야 했었다(조기 수술군). 술전 진단명은 양대혈관우심실기시가 2례(양대혈관우심실기시군), 심실중격결손이 주병변이었던 경우가 27례(심실중격결손군)였었다. 결과: 폐동맥밴딩술후 2차 완전교정술 시행까지의 기간은 5일부터 45개월까지로 평균 15.5$\pm$8.7개월이었다. 수술방법은 양대혈관우심실기시 2례중 1례에서는 심실내 턴넬교정법이, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술이 시술되었고, 심실중격결손군에서는 전례에서 심실중격결손의 첨포봉합을 함과 아울러 누두부근육절제술 4례 및 형성부전성 폐동맥판막의 판막절제술 1례가 추가시행되었다. 2차 완전교정술시에, 18례에서는 폐동맥밴딩으로 인해 초래된 협착을 해소하기 위해서 폐동맥패취성형술을 시행하였고, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술을 위해 주폐동맥을 근위부에서 완전결찰하였다. 2차 완전교정술에 따른 병원사망률은 17.2%(5례)였는데, 사망원인으로는 저심박출 4례 및 자가면역 출혈성 빈혈 1례가 있었다. 본 연구에 있어서, 양대혈관우심실기시군(2례)과 조기 2차 수술군(2례)은 높은 병원사망률을 나타내는 위험인자로 작용하였다. 그리고 만기사망 1례가 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 2차 완전교정술을 시행했던 결과는 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 후천적 병변을 함께 교정해야 하는 어려움에 기인하여 술후 이병률과 조기 수술사망률이 상당히 높게 나타났다. 따라서 가능하면, 단순 심실중격결손에 있어서는 1차 완전교정술이 요망된다.
