주관절 인공 관절 치환술은 고관절이나 슬관절 인공 관절 치환술에 비해 아직은 발전 단계에 있는 수술이다. 많은 임상 경험을 통해 여러 형태의 치환물이 개발되어 사용되고 있지만, 이에 대한 장기 추시 결과는 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 현대의 주관절 치환물은 크게 두 가지 디자인 범주로 나누어지는데, 연결형 치환물과 비연결형 치환물이 그것이며, 이들은 다른 말로 반구속형과 비구속형으로 불리기도 하며, 이에 추가적으로 비구속형/구속형 전환 가능한 치환물도 사용되고 있다. 연결형 치환물과 비연결형 치환물의 선택은 우선적으로 주관절의 안정성 및 골성 구조물의 적절성에 의해 결정된다. 연결형 치환물의 경우 전통적으로 마모, 조기 이완, 해리 등과 같은 합병증으로 인해 장기 추시 결과가 좋지 않았던 것이 사실이다. 하지만, 최근 들어 적절한 환자의 선택, 새로운 디자인의 개발, 수술 술기의 발달, 그리고 수술 후 적절한 재활 치료 등으로 인해 이러한 문제점이 많이 해결되었다. 하지만, 여전히 신체적인 활동에 대한 요구가 높은 환자에 있어서는 마모나 이완 등과 같은 문제점으로 인해 연결형 치환물이 적절한 선택이 되지 못하는 경우가 있다. 본 종설에서는 연결형 (반구속형) 주관절 인공 관절 치환물에 대해서 자세히 살펴보고자 한다.

Background: Thyroid cancer is a relatively rare neoplasm and its incidence varies geographically and ethnically around the world. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, but it has a wide spectrum of biologic behavior, histologic appearance, and management. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to analyse and evaluate all aspects of the clinical consideration in thyroid cancer. Method: Between 1986 and 1995, a retrospective analysis of 77 thyrod cancer patients admitted at the Department of Surgery, Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University was made to assess clinical entities. Result: By the pathological classification, the papillary carcinoma was the most common type(83.1%). Male to female ratio was 1 : 5.4 and most prevalent age group was noted from fourth decade to fifth decade(46.8%). The most common duration of illness between the appearance of the symptoms and the treatment was below 6 months(44.2%), and the most common symptom was the palpable mass at the anterior portion of the neck(96.1%). Most cases of the thyroid cancer were appeared as cold nodule in the $^{99m}$Tc-thyroid scan(95.7%). In the site of tumor location, the right and left lobe was distributed similarly. In the extent of tumor, incidence of intrathyroidal location was 41.6%, and that of the metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes was 44.2% and that of the direct capsular invasion was 27.3%, and incidence of both involved case was 13%. Surgical procedures were total thyroidectomy alone in 27 cases(35.1%) or with modified neck dissection in 6 cases(7.8%), or with radical neck dissection in 2 cases (2.6%), near total thyroidectomy alone in 22 cases(28.6%), ipsilateral lobectomy with isthmectomy alone in 12 cases(15.6%) or with modified neck dissection in 1 case(1.3%), and biopsy only in 7 cases(9.1%). The most common postoperative complications were transient hypoparathyroidism(5.2%) and transient unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis(5.2%). Conclusion: The major problem of management of thyroid cancer include a wide spectrum of clinical behaviour of this tumor entity, the lack of reliable prognostic factors and lack of an objective assessment of the various treatment modalities. But because of showing the favorable prognosis for most thyroid cancer, appropriate and aggressive management should be recommended.

Soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck is not frequent neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant neoplasm in the region. The histological varieties include osteogenic sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, tenosynovial sarcoma, angiosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the head and neck usually occur in children under the age of 10 years (over 70%) and rarely develop in adults over the age of 20 years. The prevalent sites of involvement include the orbit, nasal cavity, external ear, paranasal sinus and soft tissue of mouth and the primary location of tumor is considered to be one of the important prognostic factors. Before the 1960s, when surgical resection was the only method of treatment, the 5-year survival rate was less than 20%, but recently it has been greatly improved by the multimodality treatment, combining surgery with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Here we treated a rhabdomyosarcoma woman with three cycles of high dose chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After the, completion of preoperative treatments, successful result of more than partial response was achieved. Three months later total maxillectomy and radical neck dissection was performed. There was no evidence of tumor infiltration in the resected tumor and regional lymphnodes but metastasized tumor cells in cervical lymphnodes were detected. Tumor cell infiltration was also found on the bone marrow biopsy to evaluate the pancytopenia which occurred during postoperative recovery. Two months later she died of secondary bone marrow failure. We think that this multimodality treatment combining pre-operative chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery might play an important role in curative resection and eyeball preservation in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma involving the eyeball.

술전 경부 임파절 평가의 정확성은 신체검사와 방사선학적 소견 모두에서 정확성의 한계를 보였으며, 정확성을 보다 높이기 위해서는 임상의사와 방사선의사간에 의견 교환이 중요하다고 사료된다. 그리고 필요에 따라서는 초음파 촬영, 세침 흡인세포검사(FNAC) 등의 보조적인 임파절 평가 방법을 이용하는 것도 전체 정진율을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 또한 구강암의 원발 부위가 고위험군인 경우에는 가음성도 비율이 높고, 방사선학적 검사에서 전체 정진율이 낮은 결과를 보이는 것으로 볼때, 지금까지 알려진대로 예방적 경부 곽청술을 보다 적극적으로 고려하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Objective : Although iliac crest autograft is the gold standard for lumbar fusion, the morbidity of donor site leads us to find an alternatives to replace autologous bone graft. Ceramic-based synthetic bone grafts such as hydroxyapatite (HA) and b-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP) provide scaffolds similar to those of autologous bone, are plentiful and inexpensive, and are not associated with donor morbidity. The present report describes the use of Polybone$^{(R)}$ (Kyungwon Medical, Korea), a beta-tricalcium phosphate, for lumbar posterolateral fusion and assesses clinical and radiological efficacy as a graft material. Methods : This study retrospectively analyzed data from 32 patients (11 men, 21 women) who underwent posterolateral fusion (PLF) using PolyBone$^{(R)}$ from January to August, 2008. Back and leg pain were assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and clinical outcome was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Serial radiological X-ray follow up were done at 1, 3, 6 12 month. A computed tomography (CT) scan was done in 12 month. Radiological fusion was assessed using simple anterior-posterior (AP) X-rays and computed tomography (CT). The changes of radiodensity of fusion mass showed on the X-ray image were analyzed into 4 stages to assess PLF status. Results : The mean NRS scores for leg pain and back pain decreased over 12 months postoperatively, from 8.0 to 1.0 and from 6.7 to 1.7, respectively. The mean ODI score also decreased from 60.5 to 17.7. X-rays and CT showed that 25 cases had stage IV fusion bridges at 12 months postoperatively (83.3% success). The radiodensity of fusion mass on X-ray AP image significantly changed at 1 and 6 months. Conclusion: The present results indicate that the use of a mixture of local autologous bone and PolyBone$^{(R)}$ results in fusion rates comparable to those using autologous bone and has the advantage of reduced morbidity. In addition, the graft radiodensity ratio significantly changed at postoperative 1 and 6 months, possibly reflecting the inflammatory response and stabilization.

문명의 발달로 나날히 복잡해지는 사회 환경속에서 우리는 생명을 위협하는 수 많은 사고를 당하게 되며, 이럭 경우에 상기도를 유지하기 위한 기관절재술을 많이 시행하게 되는데, 때로는 기관협착등 이에 따른 여러가지 합병증을 유발하게 되는 경우가 있으며, 임상가들에게도 곤란한 문제를 갖어다 주고있다. 그러나 이러한 합병증은 수술방법의 개선과 항생제의 출현등으로 그 빈도가 많이 감소되기는 하였으나, 1969년 Lindholm은 술후성 기관협착증의 빈도를 1.5%내지 10%라고 했으며, 1969년 Donnelly, Mulder와 Rubush, 그리고 1971년 Andrew와 Pearson 등은 이들 원인의 대부분이 cuff 가 있는 기관삽입관이나, 기관케뉼(tracheal canula)의 부적합한 사용이나, 또는 감염에 의한 압박괴사(pressure necrosis)로 형성된다고 하였고, 협착부위로서 1972년 Bryce는 절개공(stoma)주위가 가장 많으며, 응급기관절개술시에 의사의 부정요법(mal-practice)도 원인이 될 수 있다고도 주의한 바 있다. 기관협착증의 치료로서 협착이 경미한 경우에는 일차적으로 세심한 관찰을 실시하면서 실리콘관(silicon tube)이나 스텐트(stent)를 사용하거나, 비강을 통한 삽관법(naso tracheal intubation)으로 기계적인 확장을 시도하며 (Schmiegelow, 1929, Montgomery, 1965), 육아조직이 형성되었을 경우에는 기관경검사하에서 이를 제거한 후에 steroid를 병용하는 편이 좋은데(Birck, 1970) 그밖에도 기관개찰술(Fenestration method, 백·홍 1974)이나 재수술(Revision)을 하기도 한다. 이러한 방법으로서도 치료가 불가능한 경우에는 그 협착 부분을 절제한 후에 단단문합술(End-to-End Anasto-mosis)을 시행하는 수도 있다. 저자들은 1967년 10월부터 1977년 3월까지 10연년간 세브란스병원에서 기관절개술을 받았던 1514례를 대상으로 일련의 조사를 실시하여 이들 중에서 기관협착증을 유발한 23례를 치료하였으며, 여기서 몇가지 지견을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate condylar surface changes and remodeling after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) imaging, including comparisons between the right and left sides and between the sexes. Materials and Methods: Forty patients (20 males and 20 females) who underwent multi-detector CT examinations before and after surgery were selected. Three-dimensional images comprising thousands of points on the condylar surface were obtained before and after surgery. For the quantitative assessment of condylar surface changes, point-to-point (preoperative-to-postoperative) distances were calculated using 3D processing software. These point-to-point distances were converted to a color map. In order to evaluate the types of condylar remodeling, the condylar head was divided into six areas (anteromedial, anteromiddle, anterolateral, posteromedial, posteromiddle, and posterolateral areas) and each area was classified into three types of condylar remodeling (bone formation, no change, and bone resorption) based on the color map. Additionally, comparative analyses were performed between the right and left sides and according to sex. Results: The mean of the average point-to-point distances on condylar surface was $0.11{\pm}0.03mm$. Bone resorption occurred more frequently than other types of condylar remodeling, especially in the lateral areas. However, bone formation in the anteromedial area was particularly prominent. No significant difference was found between the right and left condyles, but condylar surface changes in males were significantly larger than in females. Conclusion: This study revealed that condylar remodeling exhibited a tendency towards bone resorption, especially in the lateral areas. Condylar surface changes occurred, but were small.

Purpose: Synthetic absorbable monofilaments offer excellent glide characteristics and cause minimal tissue trauma as a result of their smooth monofilament structure and gradual absorption within the healing tissues. For these reasons, these suture materials are commonly used in various surgical fields such as gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, and plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and usefulness of a new synthetic absorbable monofilament, Glycoside-..-caprolactone-trimethylene carbonate interpolymer (GCT), in gastrointestinal anastomosis and closure. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 55 gastrointestinal anastomoses and closures using GCT $MONOSYN^{R}$, B. Braun, Germany) in 47 patients who underwent gastric surgery between December 2001 and May 2002 at Seoul National University Hospital. Patient's characteristics, operative procedure, surgeon's opinion of handling properties of GCT, and suture-related complications were analyzed. Results: There were 34 males and 13 females (M:F= 2.6:1) with an average age of 54.2 years old. Forty-five cases of gastrointestinal anastomosis (20 gastrojejunostomies and 25 jejunojejunostomies) and 10 cases of intestinal closure (7 gastrostomy closures and 3 duodenal stump closures) were performed in 41 cases of stomach cancer, three of peptic ulcer disease, two of GIST, and one MALToma. The handling properties of GCT according to the criteria of knot breaking load, knot security, and placing property were always scored with 7 to 9 points (10=excellent, 1=very poor). Two cases of postoperative complications ($3.6\%$) were noted. One was a leak of the gastrojejunostomy site which was successfully managed conservatively, and the other was a stricture of the gastrojejunostomy site which was managed by reoperation (side-to-side jejunojejunostomy). Conclusion: GCT seems to be an applicable suture material for various gastrointestinal anastomoses and closures.
