Benign and malignant tumors are found in the foot, although the incidence is low. The most common bone tumor in the foot is osteochondroma, which is thought to develop in bones that form through the process of enchondral ossification. In particularly, osteochondromas in the foot mostly occur in metatarsal bones and phalanges. It is seldom found in talus. It is usually confused with osteophyte or enthesis. We report an osteochondroma case confirmed by roentgenographical and pathological investigation, after removing the masses form bilateral tali of a 19-year-old male patient presented with bilateral ankle joint pain for three years.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) can heal and remain asymptomatic, or they can progress to deep ankle pain on weight bearing and the formation of subchondral cysts. Treatment varies from nonoperative treatment to open and arthroscopic procedures. Operative procedures include marrow stimulation techniques (abrasion chondroplasty, multiple drilling, microfracture), osteochondral autografts or allografts, and autologous chondrocyte implantation. Among these treatments, arthroscopic marrow stimulation techniques have been the preferred initial surgical treatment for most OLT. Despite these treatments, many patients complain of persistent pain even after surgery, and many surgeons face the challenge of determining a second line of treatments. This requires a thorough re-evaluation of the patient's symptoms as well as radiological measures. If the primary surgical treatment has failed, multiple operative treatments are available, and relatively more invasive methods can be administered. On the other hand, it is inappropriate to draw a firm conclusion in which methods are superior.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcome of ankle arthroscopy with high anteromedial and anterolateral portals for osteochondral talar lesion. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted between March 1992 and January 2000 by one surgeon. Total 48 patients who had osteochondral talar lesion were included. Using high anteromedial and anterolateral portals, arthroscopic treatment was performed. A functional evaluation was performed with the Karlsson scoring scale. Results: Of the 48 patients, 28 cases had anterolateral talar lesion and 18 cases had medial talar lesion and 2 cases had central lesion. The 42 cases(87.5 %) had trauma history. On Karlsson scoring scale, anterolateral talar lesion was better than medial talar lesion(p=0.035). Conclusion: Using high portals, we could get better visualization of talar dome and posterior chamber of ankle, and do some limited procedures without additional portals. Osteochondral lesions were treated successfully only when they were traumatically induced and localized without diffuse chondromalacia of talus and tibia.

Both os trigonum syndrome and osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) are common causes of ankle pain and usually affect ballet dancers or athletes. Lateral osteochondral lesions, which usually result from traumatic event, are mostly located anterolateral talar dome but rare central or posterolateral. Moreover, there are technical difficulties such as position of patient or additional posterior portal to address posterolateral lesion by arthroscopy. Meanwhile, treatment of os trigonum syndrome using arthroscopic approach has been reported in many literatures recently. However, it has not been reported to diagnose both os trigonum syndrome and posterolateral OLT together and treat arthroscopically at one stage. The authors report a case of male patient who was diagnosed as os trigonum syndrome with posterolateral OLT and treated simultaneously by hindfoot arthroscopy. Symptom was improved immediately after the operation, and radiological findings at postoperative 16 months verified remarkable healing.

An osteochondral fracture is considered to be an injury involving the cartilage and subchondral bone. Acute traumatic osteochondral fractures can be related to joint instability because abnormal joint motion causes shearing and rotatory stress. Acute osteochondral fractures are frequently missed or misdiagnosed as a pure soft tissue injury. Thus, surgeons' proactive attention is highly required as articular cartilage has limited potential for self-repair and these lesions may develop osteoarthritis. In order to minimize the progression of post-traumatic osteoarthritis, it is important to properly identify and treat osteochondral fractures. Yet, little is known about the operative management of acute osteochondral fractures of the talus. We report here on a case of a middle-aged male with acute osteochondral fractures of the bilateral lateral talar dome. We applied different operative methods on each side with regard to fragment size and stability. A favorable clinical outcome was obtained at 18 months follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to scientifically analyze the rocks of the Obongsan Mountain in Boseong, Jeollanam-do, which contains the largest extant quarry of Gudlejang (flat stone for heating) in Korea, and to scientifically determine the petrological characteristics of the area and the reasons for its use as a quarry. The rocks in the quarry are composed of light-green lapilli tuff, containing various types of lithic fragments and crystalline fragments in a vitreous matrix consisting of the fine feldspar crystals. The main constituent minerals were identified as quartz, plagioclase, mica, chlorite and opaque minerals. When the major element compositions were plotted on a Na₂O+K₂O versus SiO₂ diagram, all samples were situated in the same compositional area as rhyolite. In addition, the result of magnetic susceptibility measurement also showed a similar range of values, of 1.30 ~ 4.85 (×10^-3 SI), indicating that samples were fractionated from the same magma. Both rock types showed similar apparent specific gravity values of 2.32 ~ 2.60. In particular, plate-shaped joints are well developed in the Obongsan Mountain area, and many areas exhibit talus terrain. In conclusion, the rocks of this area is interpreted to used for a site of Gudlejang quarrying, because the rocks were easily obtainable due to the terrain characteristics, and their petrological properties made them suitable for use as Gudlejang stone.

이 연구는 김해시 상동면 매리 산사태지의 발생특성을 밝히기 위한 일련의 연구로 본보에서는 강수량 및 지형, 지질적인 요인을 조사, 분석 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 이 지역의 산사태 발생의 주된 원인은 지형, 지질적인 요인이다. 지형적으로 지표수가 침투되기 쉽게 너덜이 넓게 분포하고 있으며, 산록부 하장사면의 요(凹)부는 붕적토층과 풍화토층이 깊게 형성되어 있다. 또한, 붕적토층 내에는 직경 10~100 cm 정도의 원마도가 매우 불량한 자갈 및 전석으로 구성되어 있어 강우시 침식이 용이하다. 또한, 지하수위 상승에 의해서도 산사태가 발생하었다. 즉, 산정상부의 지하수위가 지표면과 가깝고 산 하부에서 깊게 분포하는 등 지형 및 지질적 특성으로 인하여 지하수위가 상승하여 산사태 발생에 크게 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 아울러 강우로 인한 상부 너덜지대에서 많은 지표수가 침투되고 있음에도 불구하고 붕적층에 대한 지하수 배제시설이 미비되어 산사태를 발생시키고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study was aimed at elucidating the pathogenesis of talar osteochondral lesion by analyzing the histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens from 20 patients who underwent surgical treatment for talus osteochondral lesions were studied. Preoperative MRI images including T1, T2, and stir images were taken and cases were classified according to modification of the Anderson's classification. There were 5 cases of MRI group 1, 6 cases of group 2, 7 cases of group 3 and 2 cases of group 4. A full thickness osteochondral plug including the osteochondral lesion of the talus was harvested from each patient and reviewed histopathologic changes of osteochondral fragment using H-E staining. Mean diameter of specimens was 8.5 mm and mean depth was 10.3 mm. Pathologic changes of articular cartilage and subchondral bone were observed. Subchondral bone was divided into superficial, middle and deep zones according to depth. Cartilage formation, trabecular thickening and marrow fibrosis were observed in each zone. Results: There were detachment of the joint cartilage at the tidemark in 16 cases of 20 cases and the separated cartilages were almost necrotic on the histopathologic findings. Cartilage formation within subchondral bone was discovered beneath the tidemark in 12 cases. Trabeculae were increased and thickened in 17 cases. These pathologic changes were similar to fracture healing process and these findings were more conspicuous near the tidemark and showed transition to normal bone marrow tissue with depth. No correlation between the pathological progression and MRI stages was found. A large cyst shown on MRI's was microscopically turned out to be multiple micro-cysts accompanied by fibrovascular structure and newly formed cartilage tissue. Conclusion: The histopathologic findings of osteochondral lesions are detachment of overlying cartilage at the tidemark and subsequent changes of subchondral bone. Subchondral bone changes are summarized as cartilage formation, marrow fibrosis and trabecular thickening that mean healing process following repeated micro fractures of trabecular. These osteochondral lesions should have differed from osteochondral fractures.
