Pectus Excavatum is a congenital anomaly of the anterior chest wall with a sharp concave curvature of the body of the sternum, from above downward and from side to side, especially just before the junction of gladiolo-xiphoid. We have experienced 14 cases of Pectus Excavatum with several operative procedures, i.e., Ravitch operation in 1 case, Wada operation [Sternal turn-over} in 3 cases, Wada operation and K-wire splint in 5 cases, Modified Wada operation [Rectus Abdominis muscle pedicle attached sternal turn-over] in 5 cases. Nearly all patients developed flail chest treated with internal fixation, and necrotic chondritis was developed postoperatively and treated with excision and curettage in one case with Wada operation. Follow-up Vertebral Index showed 48% preoperatively and 33% postoperatively, average decrement of 15%. We report 14 cases of Pectus Excavatum and their operative treatments.

Purpose: Painful plantar callosities under the second, third or fourth metatarsal head have been controverted about its treatment mordalities. We performed the vertical chevron osteotomy in patients with painful callosities on the second and third metatarsal head, and evaluated the outcome clinically. Materials and Methods: Fourteen cases from 10 patients who had plantar keratosis were operated by vertical chevron osteotomy from March 2005 to October 2008. We used K-wire fixation for all cases. We evaluated the clinical results by the patients' satisfaction and disappearance of plantar lesion. Results: The plantar keratosis was completely disappeared in 8 cases and partially in 5 cases. In 2 cases, patients expresses their pain caused by constant metatarsalgia that was suspected to be dorsal incisional pain and joint capsulitis. Transmetatarsalgia was not appeared. Conclusion: We consider vertical chevron osteotomy as a good surgical method for treatment of plantar keratosis.

Distal clavicular fracture frequently requires operative treatment due to high rate of non-union. The operative technique includes the tension band wiring, K- wire fixation, and cerclage wiring etc. Each method has disadvantages somewhat like pin migration or acromioclavicular joint injury and so on. For the distal clavicular fracture type 2a, because of its oblique fracture line, the cerclage wiring is suitable. We performed the cerclage wiring percutaneously under minimal incision without injury to periosteum for the patient who had the distal clavicular fracture type 2a, and the result was favorable.

The structural safety of hydraulic winch drum and the gears are estimated by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the winch operation experiment. The mesh convergence test is performed and the applied force is the pressure on the drum converted from the rope tension in working condition. The stress of the drum calculated from the strain values of the winch operation experiment shows the agreement with that from the FEA. Most stress values are under the yield strength except for the small hole made for the wire rope fixation. The life of bearings in the drum is calculated using the life prediction formula with the reaction forces from the operation load. One of the two ball bearings shows the short life for impact condition, yet the real prototype winch system shows more life than the numerical value.

Background: Radial neck fracture in children is rare. This study attempted to evaluate the outcome of surgically treated patients and any associated complications. Methods: This study evaluated 23 children under 15 years of age with radial neck fracture who were treated with open reduction between 2006 and 2016 to determine their range of motion, postoperative complications, and radiographic outcomes. The results were assessed clinically using the Mayo clinic elbow performance score. Results: The mean follow-up duration for patients was 34.6 months. The average postoperative angulation was 3.6°. Hypoesthesia was reported in only 9% of patients, and none of the patients complained of postoperative pain. The postoperative X-ray results were excellent in 60% and good in 40%. No radiographic complications were identified. The elbow score was excellent in 87% and good in 13% (mean score, 96.74). There was a statistical relationship between range of motion limitations and age, degree of fracture, initial displacement, and surgical pin removal time. Conclusions: Although most patients accept the closed reduction method as a primary treatment, the present study suggests that an open-reduction approach has been associated with optimal therapeutic outcomes for patients in whom closed reduction was not satisfactory or indicated.

This report presents a unique case of checkrein deformities in both halluces following isolated intramuscular sarcoidosis, a rare occurrence given the infrequent musculoskeletal involvement in sarcoidosis. Typically resulting from flexor hallucis longus tendon entrapment by scar tissue post-trauma, the checkrein deformity reported in this paper presented with unusual metatarsophalangeal joint flexion and interphalangeal joint extension during ankle dorsiflexion. A 49-year-old woman with a history of intramuscular sarcoidosis presented with a great toe deformity and discomfort while wearing shoes, leading to a diagnosis of dynamic deformity, possibly attributed to tendon tethering by sarcoidosis. Surgical treatments, including abductor hallucis muscle intratendinous tenotomy, flexor hallucis longus Z-plasty lengthening, Weil osteotomy, and Kirschner wire fixation, significantly improved the functional scores and patient discomfort. This report underscores the importance of recognizing dynamic deformities and the potential for rare diseases, such as sarcoidosis, to cause such conditions, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and tailored surgical intervention for atypical checkrein deformities.

We got this conclusion from an investigation about complications from 144 cases of 130 patients who were to be searched their personal records, admission chart, clinical laboratory sheet, anesthetic record, consult sheet and radiographic opinion. They had orthognathic surgery for maxillofacial deformity treatment at the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in dental school of Kyung Hee university for 4 years and 10 months, from March 1989 to December 1993. 1. In the intraoperative phase, by the frequency of complication, blood vessel injury was found the most-22%, and then soft tissue injury, unfavorable osteotomy split, and there were some cases of tooth injury and inappropriate osteotomy. In the mandibular segmental osteotomy, blood vessel injury was found the most frequently-20 cases (27%), soft tissue injury, unfavorable osteotomy split were the second frequent cases, and then unfavorable fragment position was found. In the extraoral vertical ramus osteotomy and Le Fort I osteotomy also, blood vessel injury and nerve injury were found the most. 2. In the postoperative hospitalization phase, by the frequency of complication, hematoma (23%) was happened the most, except for that, lkie the complication that can be happened by adverse reaction of medicine or long hospital life. In the case of SSRO, there were 21 cases (20%) of hematoma, and this wal the most frequently case. In the case of EVRO, hematoma wasn't happened that much-2 case (4%). 3. In the follow up phase, relaps, numbness and TMJ dysfunction were happened. In mandibular surgery, the forward relapse percentage of point B, was 27% when used wire fixation on SSRO, was 15% by miniplate fixation on SSRO and was 7% on EVRO. In the case of SSRO, numbness was kind of high, comparing to ordinary surgery-12 cases(16 There were many difficulties in analyzing this data accurately, Although orthognathic surgery is done many times, only available date is from the "success" stories and data is not consistently recorded for the cases with complications. In this manner, much essential informantion is lost and overlooked. When data is charted including those cases that are seemingly insignificalt, we can have a much clearer understanding and more accurate guide on treatment protocols.

배경: 너스 시술은 누두흉 환자들의 전흉부 함몰을 교정하는 효과적인 수술방법으로 기존의 방법에 비하여 비침습적이다. 하지만 환자의 나이와 기형 형태에 따라 전흉부 함몰은 다양한 양상을 보이는 데, 이에 대하여 고전적인 너스 시술만을 고집할 때 기형 재발, 불충분 교정 등 다수의 합병증이 발생하였다. 따라서 저자들은 고전적인 너스 술식을 몇 가지 관점에서 보완하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 11월부터 2004년 12월까지 135명의 환자와 216건의 수술경험을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 수술 전 컴퓨터 단층촬영, 수술 당시 환자의 연령, 수술방법, 재발을 포함한 합병증 여부를 분석하고, 이를 시술의 개선 전후로 나누어 비교하였다. 결과: 5년 2개월 동안 135명에서 너스 술식을 시행하였으며, 너스막대 제거술 64건, 재발 또는 합병증을 이유로 2번 이상의 너스 술식을 시행한 17건을 포함하여 너스 관련 216건의 수술을 시행하였다. 막대의 삽입위치를 절개부위에서 함몰부의 양족 경계부(늑연골의 최대 돌출부위)로 내측으로 이동시켜 흉곽 지지구조의 손상을 최소화하였고, 막대 성형 시 늑골과 접합하는 부분을 늑골모양에 맞게 성형하여 막대의 미끄러짐 현상을 줄였다. 그리고 막대와 늑골의 고정사를 바이크릴에서 강선으로 전환하고, 성인 환자의 경우, 수술 중 흉골을 견인하는 방법을 추가하였다. 1999년에서 2002년까지 17건에 달하던 재교정과 23건의 합병증이 개선 이후인 2003-2004년에는 재교정 0건, 합병증 3건으로 감소하였다. 결론: 이러한 결과로 미루어 보아, 본원에서 시행한 너스개선 술식은 효과적이었으며, 재발과 합병증을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있었다.
