Purpose: This study is to analysis the outcome of patient with surgically treated Maisonneuve fracture and find out the factors that might influence the outcome. Material and methods: 20 patients who had surgical treatment due to Maisonneuve fracture between February, 2001 to March, 2005 were studied. The patients were followed for at least 1 year and average follow up period was 25 months. The average age was 41 years, 16 were male and 4 were female. Mechanism of injury according to Rouge-Hansen classification was supination-external rotation. In all cases, percutaneous screw fixation was applied proximal to tibiofibular syndesmosis. The screws were removed after 8 weeks under local anesthesis. Clinical, functional and radiographic results were evaluated. Results: 17 cases (85%) showed satisfying clinical and radiographic results. The mean functional score according to Ankle Scoring System was 91 (83 to 95). Complication occurred in 1 case with underlying systemic disease and 2 cases with initial ankle joint dislocation. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of Maisonneuve fracture showed relatively satisfying result. However, initial injury state and accompanying disease seem to have great effect on the result.

High-strength low-alloy steel is one of the widely used materials in onshore and offshore plant engineering. We investigated the alloying effect of solute atoms in α-Fe based alloy using ab initio calculations. Empirical equations were used to establish the effect of alloying on the Vicker's hardness, screw energy coefficient, and edge dislocation energy coefficient of the steel. Screw and edge energy coefficients were improved by the addition of V and Cr solute atoms. In addition, the addition of trace quantities of V, Cr, and Mn enhanced abrasion resistance. Solute atoms and contents with excellent mechanical properties were selected and their thermal conductivity and thermal expansion behavior were investigated. The addition of Cr atom is expected to form alloys with low thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient. This study provides a better understanding of the state-of-the-art research in low-alloy steel and can be used to guide researchers to explore and develop α-Fe based alloys with improved properties, that can be fabricated in smart and cost-effective manners.

This study suggested comprehensive structural characterization methods for the commercial blue light emitting diodes(LEDs). By using the Z-contrast intensity profile of Cs-corrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope(HAADF-STEM) images from a commercial lateral GaN-based blue light emitting diode, we obtained important structural information on the epilayer structure of the LED, which would have been difficult to obtain by conventional analysis. This method was simple but very powerful to obtain structural and chemical information on epi-structures in a nanometer-scale resolution. One of the examples was that we could determine whether the barrier in the multi-quantum well(MQW) was GaN or InGaN. Plan-view TEM observations were performed from the commercial blue LED to characterize the threading dislocations(TDs) and the related V-pit defects. Each TD observed in the region with the total LED epilayer structure including the MQW showed V-pit defects for almost of TDs independent of the TD types: edge-, screw-, mixed TDs. The total TD density from the region with the total LED epilayer structure including the MQW was about $3.6{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ with a relative ratio of Edge- : Screw- :Mixed-TD portion as 80%: 7%: 13%. However, in the mesa-etched region without the MQW total TD density was about $2.5{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ with a relative ratio of Edge- : Screw- :Mixed-TD portion of 86%: 5%: 9 %. The higher TD density in the total LED epilayer structure implied new generation of TDs mostly from the MQW region.

Purpose: To analyze the result of the accurate open reduction of acromioclavicular (AC) joint and pin fixation, coracoclavicular (CC) screw fixation without CC ligament repair for AC joint injuries. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2003, seventeen cases with at least one year follow-up among twenty-one cases underwent operation for AC-CC ligament injuries. A transverse incision approximately 5 cm in length was made over the clavicle, and the AC joint was reduced accurately. Under the image intensifier, a cannulated screw and washer were inserted for the CC ligament. Two Steinman pins were inserted for the AC joint and the AC ligament was repaired with nonabsorbable suture. Gentle passive range of motion was begun postoperative 2 weeks. The pins were removed at $6{\sim}8$ weeks and the screw was removed at $10{\sim}12$ weeks. The results were evaluated by a distance between AC and CC joints on plain films and ASES score at last follow-up. Results: At the last follow-up, there was no limitation of motion and average ASES score was 96($86{\sim}100$ points). There was no failure showing over 5 mm difference of distance compared to opposite side on the plain films. Seven cases had the skin damages and local infection due to pin migration and three cases showed the loosening of CC screw. Conclusion: We could have satisfactory results by accurate reduction of AC joint and simple pins and screw fixation for AC-CC ligament injuries.

iepicondylar fracture of the humerus is very rare in adults. To date, there have been limited evidence of this injury in the English literature. We report a case of a 65-year-old female with a biepicondylar fracture of the left distal humerus without dislocation. Open reduction and internal fixation with K-wires, cannulated screw, and suture anchor were performed. We obtained stability of the elbow and a satisfactory functional outcome. Because this type of injury is associated with varus and valgus instability, operative reduction and fixation are essential in order to gain stability and early recovery of normal function.

By surface structure and X-ray topographic observation, growth mechanism of NAB single crystal grown by TSSG technique using a BaB4O7 flux was studied. Surface structure of grown crystals were investigated by optical microscope. Growth history and crystal defects included within grown crystal were investigated using X-ray topography. The {001} faces were grown by 2-D nucleation growth. As decreasing cooling rate, growth mechanism of {111} and {11} was changed from 2-D nucleation growth to the growth by screw dislocation. Only surface striations developed parallel to a-axis were observed on {010} faces. Growth sector of NAB crystals were divided into {001}, {111}, {010}, {021}, {11}. The inclusion which was usually trapped between {001} faces was investigated.

The Vickers microhardness was measured on the basal (0001) plane of sapphire single crystals in the temperature range from 25$^{\circ}C$to 1000$^{\circ}C$. The substructure surrounding the indents was investigated using selective chemical polishing and etching, optical microscopy, and trasmission electron microscopy (TEM). At room temperature, cracks were predominant, and at intermediate temperatures (400$^{\circ}C$and 600$^{\circ}C$), extensive rhombohedral twinning was observed. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, prism plane slip bands on prism plane {1120}(원문참조) were dominant in the microstructure. TEM observations revealed that the dislocation substructure at the vicinity of the indents consisted of fairly straight dislocations lying in basal and/or prism planes and aligned along the <1100> and <1120> directions. The details of the glide dissociation of perfect <110> screw dislocations into three collinear 1/3<1100> partials on the prism plane and the Peierls potential for sapphire single crystals were discussed.

본 논문에서는 6H-SiC (0001) 기판 위에 AlN 에피층을 혼합 소스 수소화물 기상 에피택시 방법에 의해 성장하였다. 시간당 5 nm의 성장률로 0.5 ㎛ 두께의 AlN 에피층을 얻었다. FE-SEM과 EDS 결과를 통해 6H-SiC (0001) 기판 위에 성장된 AlN 에피층 표면을 조사하였다. HR-XRD와 계산식을 통해 전위 밀도를 예측하였다. 1.4 × 10⁹ cm^-2의 나사 전위 밀도와 3.8 × 10⁹ cm^-2의 칼날 전위 밀도를 가지는 우수한 결정질의 AlN 에피층을 확인하였다. 혼합소스 HVP E 방법에 의해 성장된 6H-SiC 기판 위의 AlN 에피층은 전력소자 등에 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

K2O/3MOOS/0.SBB03 융제를 사용하여 TSSG 법으로 육성한 Md:Yal3(BO3)4 (NYAB) 단결정의 결정외형 및 표면형상을 연구하였다. <100>과 <120> 종자정을 사용한 경우는 서로 다른 크기의 프리즘 면들과 (101) 면들이 발달하였고 <001> 종자정을 사용하였을 때는 (001) 면이 함께 발달하였다. 종자정의 방향이 <100>또는 <120> 일때 프리즘 면 위에 성장구룽이 많이 형성되었으나, <001> 일때는 이웃하는 (101) 면에 평행한 줄무늬가 형성 되었다. (101) 면은 이차원 핵생성에 의한 성장이 지배적이고, <001> 종지정을 사용할 때 발달하는 (001) 면은 나선형 전위에 의한 성장이 지배적이었다. 종자정의 방향은 성장외형을 변화시키고 성장외형과 결정의 질을 결정하는 중요한 성장변수로 작용하였다.
