This paper reports a rare case of the symptomatic third metatarsal (MT3) - lateral cuneiform (LC) in a 55-year-old male who presented with complaints of severe intermittent pain in his right foot. Plain radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed sclerosis and irregularity at this joint. The intraoperative findings demonstrated a fibrocartilaginous coalition. The pain had improved one year after removing the MT3-LC joint by en bloc and arthrodesis.

Acromial fractures are well-documented complications subsequent to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and most appear as stress fractures with no history of single trauma. To date, no study has reported the occurrence of acute displaced acromial fracture due to sudden strong deltoid contraction during heavy work. Displacement of the fracture results in a challenging surgery since it is difficult to obtain adequate fixation in thin and osteoporotic bones. We report a rare case of acute displaced acromial fracture after successful RSA treatment, using a novel technique of open reduction and internal fixation, applying two 4.5 mm cannulated screws and lateral clavicle precontoured plate.

Tissue engineering may be adequately defined as the science of persuading the body to regenerate or repair tissue that fail to regenerate or heal spontaneously. In the various techniques of cartilage tissue engineering, the use of 3-dimensional polymeric scaffolds implanted at a tissue defect site is usually involved. These scaffolds provided a framework for cells to attach, proliferate, and form extracellular matrix(ECM). The scaffolds may also serve as carriers for cells and/or growth factors. In the ideal case, scaffold absorb at a predefined rate so that the 3-dimensional space occupied by the initial scaffold is replaced by regenerated host tissue. (omitted)

Many different appliances have been used to move teeth or to attempt to inhibit or stimulate growth of the jaws. Especially, Orthopedic force was used to apply a constant force on the mandible. Various orthopedic forces bring the changes of surrounding tissue, growth and development on the mandibular joint. Author carried out this study to find the histological changes of the mandibular joint in rats when the mandible applied posterior displacement. For the purpose of this study, $009\times036inch$ closed coil spring and 030inch orthopedic wire were used between the post occipital region and the chin region in order to render the orthopedic forces, posteriorly. The experimental animals vu. used 1 month old (GroupI), 3 months old (Group II), and 12 months old (Group III) rats. Following results were obtained; 1. At the beginning of the experimental Group I, there were predominant increment of Cartilage layer in the posterior parts of condylar head. Especially, the mature chondrocyte zone was increased. 2. In the experimental Group II, the chondroblastic zone was decreased while it showed slightly increased mature cartilage zone. 3. In the experimental Group III, the mature chondrocyte zone was disappeared gradually and there was a tendency to reduce the endochondral bone formation in condylar head. 4. After 30 days of experimental Group I and in experimental Group II, there was a tendency to decrease the immature cellular zone in the glenoid fossa by pressure. 5. There were no histological changes in the articular disc by pressure.

In diabetic foot with arterial occlusive disease, skin defect on heel was tried to treat with free flap or local flap, but couldn't be treated well. Therefore below knee amputation was perfomed mostly. But we treated a patient of large heel defect with using of artificial bypass graft and antero-lateral thigh perforator flap.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to report on the results and discuss the role of free flap followed by ipsilateral vascularized fibular transposition (IVFT) for reconstruction of large bone and soft tissue defect combined with infection by open tibia fracture. Materials and Methods: During the research period, lasting from December 2002 to June 2008 (Kyung Hee University Medical Center), data were collected from three patients who underwent IVFT after free flap. We analyzed the successiveness and persistency of the infection using free flapping, bone union, and hypertrophy between transposed fibula and tibia. Results: Regarding free flap, successive results were observed in all examples. In the final follow-up results, transposed fibulas all survived, having hypertrophy similar to that of adjacent tibia. Conclusion: Reconstruction of tibia defect with free flap followed by IVTF is a useful and safe method for avoidance of the potential risk of infection for patients with a large tibial bone defect and soft tissue defect associated with infection.

Background: Sonoelastography (SE) is a new technique that can assess differences in tissue stiffness, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of SE to assess the long head of biceps tendon alteration. Methods: Forty shoulders of 36 consecutively registered patients with clinical symptoms and conventional ultrasonography findings of biceps tendinitis or tendinosis, and 40 asymptomatic shoulders of 20 healthy volunteers were assessed with SE. Transverse and longitudinal images of long head of biceps tendon were obtained using SE. SE images were performed by one orthopedic surgeon and evaluated by two orthopedic surgeons using an experimentally proven color grading system. Results: The transverse images of SE showed a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 95.0% and a accuracy of 91.3%, the longitudinal images of SE showed a sensitivity of 92.5%, a specificity of 90.0% and a accuracy of 91.3%. Inter-observer reliability of SE was in 'almost perfect agreement' with a weighted kappa coefficient of 0.83. Conclusions: SE is valuable in the detection of the intratendinous and peritendinous alterations of biceps tendon, and has excellent accuracy and excellent correlation with conventional ultrasound findings.

A parosteal lipoma is a benign tumor containing mature adipose tissue and is intimately related to the adjacent periosteum. We experienced a very rare case of parosteal lipoma arising from the shaft of femur. A 46 years old lady visited the hospital with complaining of slowly growing mass in her thigh for 7 month. Initially, it was difficult to differentiate from osteochondroma, parosteal osteosarcoma or liposarcoma. Based on the assessment of plain radiogram and magnetic resonance imaging, it was suspected the parosteal lipoma or osteosarcoma. Marginal excision was performed, and it was confirmed to parosteal lipoma histologically. We present the case with review of literatures.
