Patients with cleft lip and palate require interdisciplinary treatment to achieve successful rehabilitation. However, there are special difficulties in orthodontic treatment of adult cleft lip and palate patients: 1. Lack of Tissue, Bone, and Soft tissue; 2. Heavy Scar Tissue, Vestibule, and Palate; 3. Severe Anteroposterior discrepancy and Impaired Maxilla; 4. Distortion of Alveolar Ridge; 5. Abnormal Eruption Path and Malalignment of Tooth. Solving these problems, orthodontist should have differential diagnosis on extent of cleft site and residual deformities of adult cleft lip and palate patient. The tooth missing area in cleft site was commonly treated with a removable or fixed prosthesis, but this method is not stable to retain maxillary arch shape. To establish the more stable arch shape in cleft lip and palate, endosseous implants in the alveolar clefts with bone graft is helpful for management of adult cleft lip and palate patient.

Total ankle arthroplasty has become a viable motion-preserving alternative to ankle arthrodesis, especially in the last two decades. Recent improvements have been achieved in the strength of implant design and surgical technique. Nevertheless, addressing preoperative deformities is essential for successful outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty. Residual malalignment can produce instability and edge loading, causing acceleration of polyethylene wear, followed by osteolysis and an increased risk of revision surgery. Therefore, the accompanying deformities and their correction techniques need to be comprehensively elucidated and understood. In this article, we provide a review of the application of total ankle arthroplasty in arthritis with coronal plane varus and valgus deformities.

During the Viet Nam war, A Luoi located in Thua Thien Hue Province was heavily sprayed herbicides by the Ranch Hand Operation of U.S.A force (549.274 gallons). After 30 years of knocking the operation off, Dioxin has still contaminated on environment and human body in A Luoi valley. The results of the study show that there is an epidemiological relationship between AO/Dioxin exposure and increasing rate of reproductive anomalies and birth defects (the rate of reproductive anomalies including congenital deformities after the war during 10-year and 25-year is higher than that before the war from 1.5 to 4 times). The study found that the highest rate of reproductive anomalies is spontaneous abortion. The average is premature death and congenital deformities, and the lowest rate is dead foetus and hydratidiform mole. The results of the primary assessment suggested that Dioxin transport from environment to human body through the food chain exposed by Dioxin such as fish, chicken, duck. A mitigation plan for residual dioxin contamination from Agent Orange Hervicides is requeste indispensable to inhabitants in Aluoi District.

There are many residual nasal deformities following midface injury. The treatment of primary nasal deformities is delayed frequently due to several factors. And then, we usually perform the secondary nasal reconstruction. Autogenous bone is the material of choice for major nasal augmentation. It can be contoured appropriately and securely immobilized. It is rapidly incorporated as living tissue by the recipient bed. We used with iliac bone, contochondral graft and ear cartilage for secondary nasal augmentation and obtained the relatively fair results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report impacts of the amount of displacement of percutaneous osteotomy on the clinical and radiologic results in the treatment of bunionette deformities. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 36 cases of bunionette deformities treated with percutaneous modified Kramer osteotomies from 2009 to 2013. We measured amounts of displacement on anteroposterior and lateral plain radiographs as well as multiple parameters which represent degrees of the bunionette deformities. We also recorded radiological healing time, clinical healing time, residual symptoms, and the time of returning to daily activity. Results: No meaningful correlation was found between severity of preoperative deformity and amount of displacement of the osteotomy. The amount of displacement on a horizontal plane did not affect the healing time, duration of symptoms, or time of returning to daily activity. However, large sagittal displacement was related to duration of postoperative symptoms. Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that the displacement in percutaneous osteotomy for bunionette deformity does not affect clinical results and healing time. We believe that we do not need to be excessively cautious about how large the displacement we make during the percutaneous modified Kramer osteotomy for the bunionette deformity.

사회가 다양해지고 공업화됨에 따라 안면부의 외상이 크게 증가하였으며, 그 외상 정도 또한 더욱 심화되었다. 안면골절중 가장 많은 발생빈도를 차지하는 것은 비골골절이다. 그러나, 골절된 비골에 대한 즉시 치료율은 다른 안면골에 비해 높지 않다. 또한 다른 안면골 골절, 특히 악골 골절과 동반된 경우에 있어서는 마취 기술상 동시 수술이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 많은 수의 비골골절이 즉시 치료되지 못해 변형된 형태로 남게 된다. 이러한 외상성 비변형은 심미적으로나 기능적으로 환자에게 큰 불편을 초래하므로 정비술을 요하게 된다. 코의 외상성 변형은 크게 비골부변형, 비연골부 변형, 피부변형과 다른 주위 구조물(안와부, 전두부)과 동반된 변형으로 나눌 수 있다. 안와부 또는 전두부와 동반된 비변형에 있어서는 비안각 또는 전비각의 재건에 유의하여야 한다. 단순한 비변형에 있어서는 비연골간 절개 또는 구내절개술을 통한 재건술이 많이 이용된다. 정비술 방법으로는 비골절단술, 연골이식술, 골이식술 및 이물질 매식술 등이 있다. 본원에서는 비연골간 절개를 이용한 골 및 연골이식과 이물질 매식 그리고 구내절개를 이용한 골절단술로 외상성 비변형을 이차적으로 재건한 바 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Reconstructive surgeries for equinocavovarus foot deformities are quite variable, including hind-midfoot osteotomy or arthrodesis, soft tissue procedure, tendon transfers, etc. Comprehensive evaluation of the deformity and its etiology is mandatory for achievement of successful deformity correction. Few studies in this field have been reported. We report on the clinical and radiographic outcome of reconstruction for cavovarus foot deformities. Materials and Methods: The study is based on 16 feet with cavovarus foot deformities that underwent bony and soft tissue reconstructive surgery from 2004 to 2008. We evaluated the etiologies, varieties of surgical procedures performed, pain score, functional scores, and patient satisfaction and measured the radiographic parameters. Results: The average age at the time of surgery was 39.4 years old, with a male/female ratio of 9/4 and an average follow-up period of 23.9 months (range, 12~49 months). The etiologies of the cavovarus deformity were idiopathic 7 feet, residual poliomyelitis 5 feet, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2 feet, and Guillain-Barre syndrome and hemiplegia due to cerebrovascular accident sequela 1 foot each. Lateral sliding calcaneal osteotomies were performed in 12 feet (75%), followed by Achilles tendon lengthening and plantar fascia release in 11 feet (69%), and first metatarsal dorsiflexion osteotomy/arthrodesis and tendon transfer in 10 feet (63%). Visual analogue scale pain score showed improvement, from an average of 4.2 to 0.5 points. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score showed significant improvement, from 47.8 to 90.0 points (p<0.05). All patients were satisfied. Ankle range of motion improved from $27.5^{\circ}$ to $46.7^{\circ}$. In radiographic measurements, calcaneal pitch angle improved from $19.1^{\circ}$ to $15.8^{\circ}$, Meary angle from $13.0^{\circ}$ to $9.3^{\circ}$, Hibb's angle from $44.3^{\circ}$ to $37.0^{\circ}$, and tibio-calcaneal axis angle from varus $17.5^{\circ}$ to varus $1.5^{\circ}$ Conclusion: We achieved successful correction of cavovarus foot deformities by performing appropriate comprehensive reconstructive procedures with improved functional, radiographic measures and high patient satisfaction.

Clavicle fractures are frequent injuries accounting for approximately 4% of all fractures in adults with about 35% occurring in the shoulder region among which midshaft fractures are the most common (>66%). Nonsurgical management is the treatment of choice for most clavicle fractures; however, poor functional and aesthetic outcomes may result from nonunion, symptomatic malunion, and aesthetic impairment which are the most common complications. A young woman was referred to our clinic for a "Step Deformity" resulting after primary, nonsurgical treatment of a midshaft clavicle fracture. Residual deformity was corrected with a novel simple and little invasive approach. Midshaft clavicle fractures typically only require conservative nonsurgical treatment, nevertheless suboptimal outcomes may occur. Selective osteotomies and fixation are deemed too invasive when only cosmetic impairment of the clavicle contour is present without any functional or sensitive damage and most patients are discouraged from undergoing surgery. Thus far, no specific focus on this topic, nor exploration of possible correction can be found in the published literature. These residual deformities may be very noticeable sometimes and cause psychological distress and social life impairment. Despite no related functional impairment, this deformity should still be addressed, to improve patients' quality of life.

A robotic external fixation system for the surgery of bone deformity correction was developed to simulate the execution process of mal-unioned femur by the adjustment of the joints of the fixation system. An inverse kinematics analysis algorithm was developed to calculate the necessary rotations and translations at each joint of the robotic system. The computer graphic model was developed for validation of the analysis result and visualization of the surgical process. For given rotational and angular deformity case, the surgical execution process using the robotic system was well matched with the pre-operative planning. The final residual rotational deformities were within $1.0^{\circ}{\sim}1.6^{\circ}$ after surgical correction process. The presented robotic system with computer-aided planning can be useful for knowledge-based fracture treatment and bone deformity correction under external fixation.
