Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome is characterized by weakness of the flexor pollicis longus, the flexor digitorum profundus and the pronator quadratus in the presence of normal sensation. Although MR imaging findings of anterior interosseous nerve syndrome has been reported in a few articles, we report herein a case of anterior interosseous nerve syndrome involving more than usual muscles innervated by anterior interosseous nerve, caused by varient nerve innervation.

We report a case of simultaneous anterior and posterior interosseous nerve syndrome in association with shoulder arthroscopy. Shoulder arthroscopy was performed in a 45-year-old male patient with left shoulder instability. In the right lateral decubitus position, under general anesthesia, traction was applied with elbow extension for 2 hours. One week after surgery, the patient revisited the clinic for weakness of the flexor of the thumb, index finger, and extensor of the fingers. Recovery was not achieved after four months of observation. Therefore, nerve exploration was performed in the anterior and posterior interosseous nerve and hourglass-like fascicular constriction was detected in the posterior interosseous nerve. The area of constriction was removed and epineural neurorrhaphy was performed. Three months after exploration, the extension function of the fingers was recovered. Recovery was achieved gradually, and, five months after nerve exploration, the symptoms were completely recovered. Simultaneous anterior and posterior interosseous nerve syndrome following shoulder arthroscopy is rare. However, it could occur due to the traction and position of the patient. Thus, the operator should be careful of traction and position of the patient.

2달령의 수컷 로트와 일러가 4일간 설사와 통증.보행 실조 등의 증상을 보여 (주)해 마루 소동물 임상 의자 연구소에 의뢰되었다 흉부 방사선 검사에서 폐야 전반에 걸친 페포성 침윤과 흉벽의 심란 비후가 관찰되어 흉막폐렴으로 진단하였으며 복강 초음파 검사에서 상 복부에서 소량의 복수가 관찰되었고 전반적인 간 echogenicity가 증가되어 있었다. 치료 후 설사 증상은 사라지고 전신 상태가 다소 호전되어 내원 후 7일째에 흉부 방사선 검사를 재 실시하였다. 흉막과 폐의 병변은 변화가 없었으나 상완골과 요골의 골간단 부분에 이상 소견 이 발견되어 골격계 방사선 검사를 실시한 결과 상완골, 요골, 대퇴골 그리고 경골의 골간단에 경화성 변화와 무정형의 골막 반응이 관찰되었고 요골, 척골과 경골의 골간단 부분에 성 장판 외의 방사선 투과성 선이 관찰되었다. 이상의 특이적인 방사선 소견을 바탕으로 비록 본 질환의 정확한 원인은 밝힐 수 없었으나, 감염성 원인에 의한 비대성 골이형성증으로 진단하였다.

Three dogs were presented with diaphyseal fracture of the tibia following separate motor vehicle accidents. On physical and orthopedic examinations, the dogs were noted to have soft-tissue swelling and a closed fracture in these tibia sites. Radiographs revealed a simple, short oblique fracture (case 1), a comminuted, spiral fracture (case 2), and a simple, spiral fracture (case 3) in tibia. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using a veterinary cuttable plate or locking plate was applied for the treatment of these fractures. The surgery was successful, and the fractures healed without any complications by 7 weeks (case 1), 10 weeks (case 2) and 8 weeks (case 3) after surgery. Our patients showed fast bone healing times and early weight-bearing during the treatment of their tibia fractures. Therefore, MIPO was a useful procedure for diaphyseal fracture of the tibia in veterinary orthopedics.

이 논문은 대두 이소플라본 섭취가 난소를 절제한 쥐의 골격 손실에 미치는 영향을 투여량에 따라 조사한 것이다. 실험 초기에 암컷의 Wistar rats(7개월령; n=55)을 절제 후 봉합시킨 군(SH; n=14)과 난소절제군(OVX; n=41)으로 각각 구분하여 사육하고 80일 후에 각 5마리씩을 해부하여 난소절제로 인한 골손실 진행여부를 확인하였다. 그 후 난소절제 쥐(OVX)를 9마리씩 4그룹으로 나누고 대두 이소플라본(IF, 대두단백질이 없는 실험식이에 혼합하여 공급)을 각각 0, 20, 40, 80mg/ (kg body.d)씩 84일간 공급하였다. 동시에 SH rats에게도 이소플라본이 없는 실험식이를 섭취시켰으며 164일 후에 해부하였다. 예상했던 대로 골 무기질 밀도(대퇴골, 골간부위와 골간단부위) 및 골 표면적에 대한 다공성 골 면적의 비(대퇴골 원위부 골간단에서)가 OVX군이 SH군보다 낮았다(P<0.05). OVX군은 SH군보다 혈장 osteocalcine 농도가 높았으며 소변으로의 deoxypyridinoline 배설량이 많았다(P<0.05). 164일째 osteocalcine 과 deoxypyridinoline 농도는 OVX군에서보다 IF40 및 IF80군에서 더 낮았다(P<0.05). 그럼에도 불구하고 골 무기질 밀도와 다공성 골 면적이 OVX군에서보다 IF군들에서 더 낮아지지는 않았다. 그러므로 난소를 절제한 성숙한 쥐에게 대두 이소플라본을 매일 섭취시키는 것은 골격조직의 재흡수를 감소시킬 수 있으나 이미 진행된 골감소증(osteophenia)을 회복시킬 수는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor. But the parosteal lipoma which occurs in deep tissue is very rare. The authors experienced a case of parosteal lipoma causing posterior interosseous nerve palsy around the proximal radius. A 53-year old male patient, who has motor weakness on right wrist and finger extension for 3 weeks visited. He was diagnosed as a parosteal lipoma causing postrior interosseous nerve palsy of the proximal radius. 6 months after the marginal excision, he was recovered from motor weakness.

The mersurements of the inter outer canthal distance (IOCD), inter inner canthal distance(IICD), inter temporal distance (ITD), length palpebral fissure (LPF) and inter pupilly distance(PD) were followed in 852 healthy Korean from 7 to 13 years old. The change of average dimension was 6 mm in PD and 20 mm in ITD during primary school, and then grow up to the dimension of adult. The dimension of ITD and LPF in female was larger than male from 8 to 10 years old. The dimension of LPF increased by change of IOCD more than IICD.

Purpose: Bisphosphonates are widely used for the management steroid-induced osteoporosis (SIO) in children. With the increasing use of bisphosphonates, there have been reports of abnormal radiological findings in the growing skeleton. Therefore, their use in pediatric patients remains controversial. The present study was conducted to evaluate the long-term follow-up radiographic features, particularly metaphyseal sclerotic lines, in children who receive pamidronate therapy for nephropathy. Methods: Twenty-four children with nephropathy treated with oral calcium and pamidronate (mean duration, 9 months; dose, 100 mg daily), were evaluated retrospectively. All patients had SIO secondary to chronic glucocorticoid therapy for treating nephropathy. Long bone radiographic imaging was performed before treatment with pamidronate, and at follow-up, several years later. Physeal growth rates were estimated by measuring the distance that the sclerotic lines moved on the radiographs during the corresponding time intervals. Results: The mean follow-up period was 138 months. Long bone radiographs showed well-defined sclerotic lines at the metaphyseal ends, progressively moving from the physeal plate to the diaphysis, in all patients. The mean rate of movement of the sclerotic line was 6.21 mm per year. In 12 patients, the lines disappeared. The mean rate of growth in height was 7.33 cm per year. Conclusions: Results of long-term follow-up suggest that the metaphyseal sclerotic lines associated with pamidronate treatment tend to disappear without affecting overall skeletal growth. Bisphosphonate treatment for SIO in children with nephropathy seems to be safe, although further studies in larger number of patients are needed.

A femoral bone tumor causing a valgus deformity by affecting the growth plate was found. Long intramedullary diaphyseal tumor was separated by septum at the metapysis. Low grade chondrosarcoma was confirmed diagnosed by pathologists. Progressive limb deformity can be a sign of bone tumor in growing period.
