Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a multifactorial disease to which certain individuals are more at risk. Altered lipid metabolism is one of the major risk factors for osteonecrosis, especially corticosteroid therapy and alcoholism. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) plays a crucial role in differentiation of mesenchymal cells to adipocytes, lipid homeostasis, and bone metabolism. To investigate the possible association between $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene variants and susceptibility to ONFH, we genotyped three common polymorphisms (-796A > G, +34C > G[Pro12Ala], and +82466C > T[His477His]) in 448 ONFH patients and 336 control subjects. Genotypes, allele frequencies, and haplotypes of the polymorphisms in the complete set of patients as well as in subgroups by sex or etiology were not significantly different from those in the control group. This suggests that the examined polymorphisms and haplotypes of the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene are unlikely to be associated with susceptibility to ONFH.

Objective : In this study, we have discovered that Korean Bee-Venom therapy is effective in treating various hip joint diseases. For example, A vacular Necrosis, Degenerative Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Methods & Results: We have treated three cases of affections of the hip(eg. Degenerative arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head) with Korean Bee-Venom therapy and herbal acupuncture treatments. For acupuncture, Korean Bee-Venom therapy was observed for its pain relieving effects. Korean Bee-Venom therapy was treated on the following acupuncture points: GB29(Koryo), GB30(Hwando:環跳), ST36(Chok-samni:足三理). As the results of these treatments, a little change of inflammation around the hip joint on X-ray scan study was observed. but the degree of pain and range of motion were improved. in addition to general conditions of the patients. Conclusions: Based on the clinical results, Korean Bee-Venom therapy is believed to be effective for treating Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head, Degenerative arthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis of hip joint. However, it is expected that further studies should be conducted to provide more objective information.

This experiment was designed to investigate the analgesic effect of non-invasive electroacupuncture treatment on femoral head osteotomy in dogs. Twelve dogs were divided into 3 groups in this experiment. Electroacupuncture group was non-invasively electrostimulated in Huan Tiao (GB-30) acupoint for 10 minutes by 4.5V, 5Hz for 10 days. Medication group was treated with carprofen (4mg/kg, P.O.) for 10 days. Control group was not treated. Each group was pre-operatively and post-operatively scored by using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), SDS (Simple Descriptive Scale), NRS (Numerical Rating Scale), and measured serum cortisol levels. The results of VAS, SDS and NRS in electroacupuncture and medication groups were better than those of control group. And, the results of electroacupuncture group were better than those of medication group since 6th day after osteotomy in pain management(p<0.05). But, there were no significances in serum cortisol level among 3 groups. In conclusion, non-invasive electroacupuncture treatment showed sufficient analgesic effect on postoperative pain management after femoral head osteotomy, and VAS, SDS, and NRS scoring system would be adapted in evaluation of pain management.

Using FEM, we analyzed the stress changes on early osteonecrosis of femoral head as the necrotic area increases. A 3D FEM model of proximal femur was made from the CT scam data of fresh frozen adult proximal femur with the material properties from literature. The model consisted of 5994 elements and 5275 nodes. FE analyses were peformed using MSC/NASTRAN. At normal states, stress transmission is mainly along the primary compression trabeculae(PCT). Until 60% involvement of PCT with necrotic lesion, stress transmission is still along the remained PCT. When the PCT involvement is from 60% to 85%, stress transmission is along the PCT and margin of the necrotic lesion. When involvement is more than 85%, stress is mostly transferred to posterior part of femoral head.

연구배경 : 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사는 그 병기에 따라 단순 X선과 뼈스캔, MRI상에서 다양하게 보이며 초기에는 X선과 뼈스캔상에서 발견할 수 없는 경우가 흔히 있다. 뼈스캔의 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사는 그 병기에 따라 다른 형태로 보일 수 있으며 진행된 병변에서는 다른 관절질환과 감별하기 어려울때가 많다. 이에 저자들은 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사의 병기에 따른 뼈스캔의 유형을 분류하고 다양하게 보일 수 있는 원인을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 대상환자는 고관절통과 보행장애를 주소로 내원한 90명의 179개의 대퇴골두를 대상으로 하였고 이들 환자에서 단순 X선과 뼈스캔, MRI가 모두 시행되었으며 후향적 조사에 의하여 비교하였다. 결과: 1) 179개의 대퇴골두 중 156개의 골두는 무혈성괴사를 가지고 있었다. 36개의 대퇴골두는 MRI상 조기 병변이었고 120개는 진행병변이었다. 90명의 환자에서 22명이 한쪽의 병변을 가지고 있었으며 68명이 양측성의 병변을 가지고 있었다. 2) 단순 X선과 뼈스캔의 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사의 진단율은 MRI를 기준으로 하였을 때 각각 85%, 91.6%였다(Table 1). 3) 9개의 대퇴골두가 뼈스캔상에서 초기의 무혈성 괴사소견(1, 2형)을 보였으나 단순 X선상에서 정상이었다. 이외의 병변들에서는 뼈스캔과 단순 X선의 병기 사이에는 비교적 일치하는 소견을 보였다(Fig. 2). 4) 뼈스캔에는 정상이었으나 13개의 대퇴골두가 MRI상에서는 조기 병변을 보였고, MRI에서 조기병변을 보이는 경우는 뼈스캔상에서 대개 1이나 2의 유형을 보였고 진행병변은 뼈스캔상에서 2, 3, 4형에 해당하였다(Table 2). 5) 뼈스캔상에서 정상소견을 보였으나 MRI에서 무혈성괴사 소견을 보였던 병변은 그 병변의 크기가 1/4에서 1/5정도로 작은 병변이며, 이 작은 병변이 대개는 대퇴골두의 전상방에 위치하며, MRI상의 저신호 강도 띠와 함께 지방골수 신호강도변화를 보였다(Table 3). 6) 뼈스캔상에서 비전형적인 유형을 보인 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사병변의 단순 X선 소견은 대개가 단순 X선 병기 4와 5에 해당하였고, MRI에서 병변의 크기가 1/2이상의 큰 병변 이었으며 많은 관절삼출액, 심한 관절강 연조직 및 관절막 비후 또는 이차성 골관절염등을 동반하고 있었다(Table 2). 결론 : 결론적으로 뼈스캔은 초기 대퇴골두 무혈성괴사는 단순 X선 보다는 높고, MRI보다는 낮은 진단율을 보였다. 그 원인으로는 초기 병소의 크기와 위치에 따라 다를 것으로 추정된다. 진행성 병변은 MRI상에서 주위의 충혈 정도, 관절삼출액의 정도, 주위의 퇴행성 변화 또는 관절내 연조직 비후의 정도에 따라 다양하게 보이는 것으로 생각된다.

Operative procedures such as core drilling with and without fibular bone grafting have been recognized as the treatment methods for osteonecrosis of femoral head(ONFH) by delaying or preventing the collapse of the femoral head. In addition, core drilling with cementation using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been proposed recently as another surgical method. However, no definite treatment modality has been found yet while operative procedures remain controversial to many clinicians In this study, a finite element method(FEM) was employed to analyze and compare various surgical procedures of ONFH to provide a biomechanical insight. This study was based upon biomechanical findings which suggest stress concentration within the femoral head may facilitate the progression of the necrosis and eventual collapse. For this purpose, five anatomically relevant hip models were constructed in three dimensions : they were (1) intact(Type I), (2) necrotic(Type II), (3) core drilled only(Type III), (4) core drilled with fibular bone graft(Type IV), and (5) core drilled with cementation(Type V). Physiologically relevant loading were simulated. Resulting stresses were calculated. Our results showed that the volumetric percentage subjected to high stress in the necrotic cancellous region was greatest in the core drilled only model(Type III), followed by the necrotic(Type II), the bone graft (Type IV), and the cemented(Type V) models. Von Mises stresses at the tip of the graft(Type IV) was found to be twice more than those of cemented core(Type V) indicating the likelihood of the implant failure. In addition, stresses within the cemented core(Type V) were more evenly distributed and relatively lower than within the fibular bone graft(Type IV). In conclusion, our biomechanical analyses have demonstrated that the bone graft method(Type IV) and the cementation method(Type V) are both superior to the core decompression method(Type III) by reducing the high stress regions within the necrotic cancellous bone. Also it was found that the core region filled with PMMA(Type V) provides far smoother transfer of physiological load without causing the concentration of malignant stresses which may lead to the failure than with the fibular bone graft(Type IV). Therefore, considering the above results along with the degree of difficulties and risk of infection involved with preparation of the fibular bone graft, the cementation method appears to be a promising surgical treatment for the early stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

본 통증치료실에서 요통 및 하지 방사통을 호소하는 30세된 남자환자를 보통 시행하는 횟수 보다 많은 경막외강내 스테로이드 주입중에 발생한 양측 무혈성 골두괴사를 경험하였다. 물론 이 환자는 약국이나 한약방 등에서 약명미상의 약물을 경구투여받고 있었으므로 그것(혹시 스테로이드)으로 인한 원인인지 혹은 단순히 경막외강으로 주입된 스테로이드로 인한것인지는 분명하지 않다. 그러나 최근 피부과 질환으로 인한 스테로이드의 장기복용 및 도포로 무혈성 대퇴골두괴사가 종종 보고되고 있으므로 그 원인일수도 있다는 가정하에 통증치료실에 근무하는 종사자들의 주의를 요하는 뜻에서 이 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

Femoral neck anteversion is the angle between the neck and the knee axis projected on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Conventional methods that use cross-sectional Computed Tomography(CT) images to estimate femoral anteversion have several problems because of the complex 3D structure of the femur. These are the ambiguity of defining the longitudinal axis, the femoral neck axis and condylar line, and the dependence on patient positioning. Especially the femoral neck axis that is known as a major source of error is hard to determine from a single or multiple 2D transverse images. So we developed a new method for measuring femoral anteversion by 3D modeling method. In this method, femoral head is modeled as a sphere. The center of femoral neck is the mid-point of the 2D reconstructed oblique image in the femoral neck part. Then neck axis is a line connecting foregoing two centers. We model the longitude of femur as a cylinder, and the long axis is defined from the fitted cylinder. The knee axis which is tangent to the back of the femoral condyles is easily determined by table-top method. By the definition of femoral anteversion, the femoral anteversion is easily calculated from this model.

In treatment of failure in ankle joint replacement therapy, talar avascular necrosis with massive bone defect, talus fracture with severe comminution and bone defect and ankle dislocation, treatment of large bone defects is considerably important for ankle joint stability and union, therefore, the choice of treatment for large bone defects is use of femoral head or iliac crest bone graft and rigid internal fixation. Because first generation total ankle arthroplasty performed for the first time using a cemented fixation technique requires a large amount of bone resection during re-surgery and there is some possibility of a larger bone defect after removal of implants, in cases where prosthesis for the defect is needed, performance of palliative femoral head or iliac crest bone graft and rigid internal fixation can be difficult. We report on a case of a 48-year-old woman who had experienced ankle pain for 25 years since undergoing total ankle arthroplasty. Because the patient had little ankle motion and rigid soft tissue despite a large bone defect caused by aseptic loosening, a good outcome was obtained only for the femoral cancellous bone graft using allo femoral head without internal fixation.
