The objective of this case report was to evaluate meniscal suturing for a young patient with a chronic radial tear of the incomplete discoid lateral meniscus. The patient underwent saucerization in conjunction with repair of the displaced radial tear of the discoid meniscus. Six-months after surgery, arthroscopic examination showed the repaired meniscus to be healed well with good continuity. Repair of radial tears, even chronic tears, should be considered for young patients with torn discoid lateral menisci.

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to review the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement and tuberoplasty, and to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of our series for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the elderly. Materials and Methods: We reviewed articles that focused on the treatment options and decision making for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. In particular, we summarized the reported results of arthroscopic debridement and tuberoplasty for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the elderly. Among consecutive patients who had arthroscopic tuberoplasty for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in our series, thirty-two patients available for clinical and radiological evaluation at a mean follow-up of 29 months (range, 13-52 months) were enrolled and reviewed for the analysis. Results: At the last follow-up, the range of active forward flexion increased significantly with excellent pain relief and improvement in the ability to perform the activities of daily living. However, the group with less than 2 mm in preoperative acromiohumeral distance showed inferior postoperative results. Conclusion: Arthroscopic tuberoplasty may be an alternative option in irreparable massive rotator cuff tears for pain relief and improvement of range of motion. However, good results can not be expected if the acromiohumeral distance is less than 2 mm preoperatively and decreases postoperatively, or when the preoperative range of motion is less than $90^{\circ}$ on flexion and abduction.

There are some methods of approach to the temporomandibular joint. The preauricular, the endaural and the postauricular incision are frequently used among those. The preauricular incision necessiates a preauricular scar, possible postopertive facial nerve damage and is the least cosmetically desirable incision. The endaural incision is more esthetic than preauricular incision, but it is not sufficient. The postauricular approach allows adequate exposure with decreased occurence of injury to facial nerve and excellent cosmetic results. The purpose of this report is to discuss the surgical approach of postauricular incision to the cases of TMJ ankyloses, internal derangement and condylar fracture of mandible.

Purpose: To describe the recent clinical results and complications of total elbow arthroplasty based on the literature review. Materials and Methods: The indications of total elbow arthroplasty include rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, anklylosed elbow, tumor resection which cannot recover elbow function by other reconstructive procedures, and comminuted distal humerus fracture in elderly patients. Complications are aspetic loosening, infection, prosthesis fracture, periprosthetic fracture, ulnar neuropathy, ectopic ossification, triceps insufficiency, dislocation, and bushing wear. Results and Conclusion: Mean 10 year survival rate following total elbow arthroplasty has been reported 85% on the basis of revision. The prognosis in patients with an inflammatory arthritis is reported to be best, and loosening rate in patients with a posttraumatic arthritis tends to be high. Complication rate is known to be higher than that of other joint arthroplasty. In particular, deep infection occurs in 3~5% of the patients. Total elbow arthroplasty provide satisfactory results when it is performed properly in selected patients who have an elbow joint with irreversible dysfunction and low level activities.

석회화 건염은 회전근 개중 극상근 건에 석회가 침착되는 질환으로서 진행 양상에 따라 Formative, Resting, Resorptive phases로 나눈다. 치료는 물리 치료, Puncture, 국소 steroid 주사, 체외 충격파 등 보존적 치료에 반응을 잘 하며, 특히 resorptive phases때의 극심한 통증은 석회 침착 부위에 puncture나 needling lavege를 실시하면 즉각적인 동통 감소 효과와 함께 석회 침착의 자연 소실을 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 보존적 치료에 효과가 없을 경우 수술적 처치를 고려할 수 있는데 최근에는 대부분 관절경을 이용한 석회 제거술을 시행한다. 수술전 견관절 충돌 징후가 있거나 수술 소견상 이를 의심할 만한 소견이 있을 경우 견봉하 성형술을 함께 실시하기도 한다.

저자등은 1996년 5월 부터 1999년 4월까지 인하대병원 치과에 악관절 질환을 주소로 내원한 958명의 환자 중 병력, 임상소견, 방사선학적 검사 결과 퇴행성 악관절 질환으로 진단된 68명에서 병록지 상에 기록된 환자의 성별, 나이, 주소, 병력, 현증상, 방사선학적 소견 및 치료방법 등에 관해 검사 후 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 남녀 발병 비율은 1:2로 여성에서 높았다. 2. 발병나이는 20대, 30대. 40대, 10대 순이었다. 3. 병력기간은 2년이상, 6개월이하, 1 - 2년 순이었다. 4. 전 환자에서 악관절 동통을, 44명의 환자에서 관절잡음을, 26명의 환자에서 개구제한을 호소하였다. 5. 그밖에 26명의 환자에서 관절부위에 민감성을, 5명의 환자에서 안면 비대칭을, 또한 개교합, 섬유성 악관절강직의 소견이 각각 2명의 환자에서, 양측성질환의 소견이 4명의 환자에서 관찰되었다. 6. 방사선학적 소견상, 15명 환자의 과두부에서 증식성 재성형소견(progressive remodeling)이, 51명의 환자에서 침식성 재성형소견(regressive or erosive remodeling)이 관찰되었으며, 침식성 재성형 환자 중 11명에서 과두주변부 증식성 재성형소견(peripheral remodeling or marginal lipping)이 관찰되었다. 7. 골증식체(osteophyte) 및 소성체(loose body)의 소견이 각각 2명의 환자에서 관찰되었다. 8. 약물에 의한 보존적 치료방법이 1차로 모든 환자에서 시행되었으며, 이중 12명의 환자는 교합안정장치를 병행하여 치료하였다. 9. 관절강내 스테로이드 주사요법에 의한 치료환자가 2명, 관절원판절제술 및 이개연골 이식술을 동반한 악관절성형술 환자가 각각 1명 및 2명이었다.
