체중 43kg의 10개월령 암컷 로토와일러가 약 2개월전부터 점진적으로 진행된 좌측후지의 심한 파행 병력으로내원하였다. 신체검사와 고관절 탈구를 진단하였으며 골반의 외측 및 복배측 방사선 사진 촬영으로 확진할 수 있었다. 전배측 접근 후 골수내정으로 제작한 한 개의 toggle pin 및 두 개의 bone screw를 병용 적용하여 대퇴골두를 고정하였다. 일차교정은 술후 7일의 재탈구로 실패하였으며 동일 방법으로 이차 시술한 후 Ehner sling을 적용하고 운동을 제한하였다. 술후 20일에 환축은 거의 정상보행을 회복하였다.

A Korean water deer was rescued with non-weight-bearing lameness of the right hind limb. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed a craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation. The cause of the right coxofemoral luxation (CL) was unknown. We performed minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted reduction with toggle pin fixation (mini TightRope$^{(R)}$). Craniodorsal CL in the water deer was reduced and stabilized successfully. At 60 days after admission, the water deer was successfully released back into the wild. This minimally invasive surgical technique can be used to correct coxofemoral luxation in wild animals.

Due to limitations in responding to oil spill incidents that are urgent or that cover a wide area with only oil spill response vessels, Korea Coast Guard (KCG) patrol vessels are utilized. In this study, we have developed an oil sweep system suitable for small patrol vessels. The equipment consists of three components - fixed support, poles, and slide fixers - and can be fastened with a toggle pin to a fall prevention bar on small patrol vessels without welding or additional efforts for installation. The respective weights of each component - fixed support, poles (2 pcs), and slide fixers (4 pcs) - are approximately 9.2 kg, 6.5 kg, and 3.5 kg. The 3 m-pole, which is rotatable 180 degrees horizontally, is folded deckward when replacing oil absorbents. As the development of this equipment has improved the method of deploying and retrieving oil absorbents on KCG small patrol vessels, we expect that more efficient oil spill cleanup will be possible.
