최근에 스포츠 손상이 증가하고 관절경을 이용한 치료가 발전하면서 조기에 더 적극적인 치료를 하는 추세이다. 또한 방사선 소견에 비하여 관절경하에서는 연골이 불안정하거나 분리되어 있는 경우도 있으므로 기존의 수술 적응증보다는 좀 더 광범위하게 관절경 검사 및 수술적 치료가 요구된다고 생각한다. 치료 방법을 하면 $1.5cm^2$ 이하의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자는 관절경을 이용하여 변연 절제술, 연골하 천공, 연마, 미세 골절술, 소파술 등의 방법으로 치료할 수 있다. 같은 방법으로 50세 이상의 $3cm^2$ 이하의 병변을 가진 환자 중 mosaicplasty와 자가 연골 세포 이식술을 적용할 수 없는 환자에서 시도해볼 수 있다. $1.5\sim3cm^2$의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자, 그전의 관절경적 치료로 실패한 경우에는 자가골 연골 이식 또는 자가 연골 세포 이식술을 이용하여 치료해야 한다. $3cm^2$ 이상의 병변을 가진 50세 이하의 환자는 자가 연골 세포 이식술이나 동종 골 연골 이식을 이용하여 치료하며, 50세 이상의 환자는 관절 고정술이나 족근 관절 인공치환술을 고려하는 것이 바람직하다.

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are common injuries in active individuals secondary to direct force on the lateral aspect of the adducted shoulder. Complete disruption of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments may occur, depending on the magnitude of the insulting force. Most of these injuries are successfully treated without surgery. However, for the treatment of cases in which surgical management is warranted, there are more than 100 surgical techniques available without a gold standard technique. We review the anatomy of the acromioclavicular joint, the diagnosis of disorders of this joint, and the different treatment options in this article.

Hemarthrosis occurring after arthroscopic surgery for lesions of the shoulder joint is a very rare complication that can develop due to an injury to the blood vessels when an anterior portal is formed. This is a complication that rarely develops in patients who are taking antithrombotic drugs or who do not have associated diseases, such as thrombocytopenia. We report a case of hemarthrosis that occurred after performing arthroscopic surgery to repair a rotator cuff tear in a patient with a stenosis in an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis in the ipsilateral upper arm.

Purpose: Open lateral release and complete lateral release have been conducted as a surgical method in patients with patellofemoral malalignment. But authors sought to find out the best method by conducting selective release, with minimal excision of the involved lesion, and comparative analyzing the result, as postoperative satisfaction and complication. Materials and Methods: Over the 68 patients of 90 cases who underwent arthroscopic release, among 94 patients of 129 cases who underwent lateral retinacular release, from January 1993 to June 1998 were followed up prospectively. A radiological evaluation of patellar inclination, patellar tilt, congruence angle, and Q-angle and a clinical evaluation of HSS-Knee score and modified patellar score were used for analysis data before operation and data at 1 year and 5 year after operation. Results: According to the radiologic evaluation, the patellar tilt and translation revealed improvement of the results, from $13.4^{\circ}$ and 12.1mm to $3.6^{\circ}$ and 3.8mm with arthroscopic lateral complete release, and from $12.3^{\circ}$ and 11.2mm to $4.8^{\circ}$ and 5.2mm with selective release, and from $13.6^{\circ}$ and 12.3mm to $3.3^{\circ}$ and 3mm with open release. But they were not significantly related to the clinical results. HSS-Knee score was 84.2%(48/57), 81.8%(27/33), 82.1%(32/39) and modified patellar score was 82.5%(47/57), 81.8%(27/33), 82.1%(32/39) respectively, which revealed satisfactory results. And no significant difference among the operative methods were shown. Conclusion: Arthroscopic lateral retinacular release which is one of the surgical method for patellofemoral malalignment enhances rehabilitation and satisfaction of the patient, by releasing the involved retinaculum within lesser surgical extent, compared to open and complete lateral release without complications such as adhesion.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of minimally invasive arthroscopy-assisted plate removal of a laterally inserted periarticular distal femur plate used for the treatment of AO type-C distal femur fractures. Materials and Methods: From October 2002 to November 2005, we evaluated 17 patients whose plates were removed through minimally invasive arthroscopy-assisted plate-removal technique and 15 patients who got their plates removed through conventional method without using arthroscopy, 32 patients in total. All these patients included in this study initially underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the distal femoral fractures with a lateral plate, and complained of continued pain over the lateral femoral condyle after the fracture fixation. The average age was 42.6 (ranges: 20~66) and initial fracture types included 16 cases of C1, 11 cases of C2, and 5 cases of C3 following AO/ASIF classification guidelines. Measured outcomes included: associated intra-articular pathologies, time needed to return to activities of daily living, patients' overall satisfaction, complications following the removal of hardware, and pain before and 6 months after the operation. Results: The distal-most end of the plate was placed in the knee joint in all cases and damage of the lateral articular capsule was found in 23 cases. Continuous wound discharge after surgery was found in one case who underwent arthroscopy-assisted plate removal, and it was treated by irrigation and re-suture. Average time needed to return to activities of daily living was 7 days in arthroscopy assisted group and 7.6 days in conventionally removed group. Fourteen patients (82.4%) who underwent arthroscopyassisted plate-removal reported above 'fair' satisfaction and the Visual analog scale pain score decreased from 4.9 to 1.9, six months after the plate removal. Thirteen patients(86.7%) who underwent conventional plate removal reported above 'fair' satisfaction and the Visual analog scale pain score decreased from 5.2 to 2.5, six months after the operation. Conclusion: Through minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted plate removal, intrarticular pathology of the knee joint was able to be simultaneously identified and treated at the time of hardware removal. Damage of lateral capsule of the knee joint caused by the inserted plate for the treatment of type C distal femoral fracture was very frequently found and following the plate removal, patients experienced an improvement in pain score. We therefore recommend routine lateral distal femoral plate removal if the bony union is attained in such cases as type C distal femoral fractures whose distal most end of the plates are located in the joint.

Purpose: The purpose of the present article is to help orthopedic surgeons better understand the basic principles of unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty, and to help them perform the best surgical technique for reconstruction. Materials and Methods: In this article, we reviewed in depth current biomechanics, indications & contraindications, surgical techniques, complications and outcomes of unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty. Additionally, we discussed current issues relevant to total shoulder arthroplasty such as whether a keeled or a pegged glenoid should be used. Results and Conclusion: A thorough understanding of the biomechanics of total shoulder arthroplasty, and the technical details and problems in implantation, are critical to provide the best functional outcome and to avoid the risk of complications.

관절와 병변은 급성 외상으로 인한 골절뿐 아니라 불안정성으로 인한 골 침윤으로 정의할 수 있으며, 이는 통상의 방사선학적 검사를 통하여 진단을 하지 못하는 경우도 있다. 전방 탈구와 동반된 전방 관절와 골절의 빈도는 5.4%에서 32%까지 보고되었다. Hovelius 등이 226명의 탈구환자를 대상으로한 연구에서 8%의 관절와 골절이 있었다고 보고하였고, 노령의 환자에서 약간의 빈도가 증가한다고 하였다. 또한 Rowe는 전방 관절와 골절이 있는 27명의 환자에서 기계적 안정성의 결함으로 62%의 재발성 탈구가 있었다고 보고하였다. 보다 최근의 방카르트 술기에 대한 보고에서 수술적 처치를 한 환자중 44%가 관절와 골절을 동반하였다고 보고하였다. Rowe 와 Zarins는 다발성 전방탈구 환자에서 관절와 병변이 잘 치료되었는지 여부에 따라 다른 결과를 낸다고 보고하였다. 전자에 따르면, 관절와 병변을 진단하는 것은 중요하며 환자의 최종적 예후는 이를 어떻게 치료했는지 여부에 따라 결정된다고 하였다. 관절와 상완관절의 불안정성에서 동반된 관절와 병변의 진단은 보존적 치료시나 수술적 치료 시 모두 중요한 인자라고 하겠다.

전방 탈구인 경우 첫탈구이거나 생애에 몇번만 탈구를 경험하고 일상생활에 별 지장이 없다면 보존적으로 치료하는 것이 바람직하다. 다만 early surgey가 요구되는 경우는, 첫탈구가 teen aged이면 관절경적 수술을, 골편이 큰 Bankart병변이 있는 첫탈구는 수술하는 것이 좋다. 전방 불안정성인 경우, collision sports는 개방술로, non-athletes이거나 throwing 또는 contact sports는 관절경술로 시행해 주는 것이 바람직하다. 우리가 명심하여야 할 것은 전방 불안정성을 다루는데 환자의 입장에서 서야 한다는 것이다. 의사의 능력 정도나 욕망보다도 환자의 상태, 활동 정도와 환자의 요구에 맞추어 환자를 치료하여야 한다.
