The present study numerically investigates the effect of the shape of absorbing revetment on wave overtopping rate under regular and irregular incident waves. At first, the numerical model developed by Hur and Choi(2008), which considers the flow through a porous medium with inertial, laminar and turbulent resistance terms, directly simulates Wave-Structure-Sandy seabed interaction and can determine the eddy viscosity with LES turbulent model in 2-Dimensional wave field (LES-WASS-2D), is validated when compared to experimental data. Numerical simulations are then performed to examine the effect of the shape of absorbing revetment and incident wave conditions on wave overtopping rate. The numerical result shows that the wave overtopping rate decreases with the slope gradient of absorbing revetment under both regular and irregular waves. In addition, the effects of mean grain size and porosity of absorbing revetment, incident wave period and crest height on wave overtopping rate are discussed.

Chondrosarcoma can be divided into grade I, II and III by histological finding and a relationship between the prognosis and the histological grading has been identified. Although the surgical treatment of grade II and III chondrosarcoma necessitates wide resection margin, there has been controversy about curettage versus wide resection in case of grade I chondrosarcoma. The authors report a case of grade I chondrosarcoma of proximal humerus and grade II chondrosarcoma of distal humerus with good oncological and functional result through curettage and wide resection respectively.

This paper presents the result if a study m the development of a net type wave absorber with air pumping. The authors already show the usefulness of net type wave absorber in the previous study. However, when it comes to the long waves, it was not easy to maintain the same efficiency with net type wave absorber only. The authors tried to overcome this difficulty by adding air bubbles to the water. The results show that combining the net type wave absorber and the air bubble is more efficient than single adoptation of the wave absorber or a net type wave absorber.

Purpose : Distal femur and proximal tibia are the common sites affected by giant cell tumor of bone. There are a variety of treatment modality including wide excision and intralesional curettage. We evaluated the local recurrence rates and the post-operative functional scores of giant cell tumors around knee joint and investigated the identification of possible prognostic factors for recurrence. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 41 patients pathologically confirmed as giant cell tumors around knee joint that have undergone intralesional curettage using high-speed burr and methylmethacrylate. We evaluated the recurrence rate and post-surgical functional score and possible prognostic factors for recurrence, such as, gender, age, tumor location, size, subchondral invasion, intra-articular invasion and the Campanacci Grades. Mean follow up period was 50 (12-122) months. Results: The recurrence rate was 17% and mean recurrence onset was 10 months postoperatively. According to Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) functional evaluation system, the average score was 27.8(93%) and 78% had excellent function. According to our study, suspected prognostic factors revealed not significant for recurrence. Conclusion: We found no significant recurrence related factors. Intralesional excision with high-sped burring and PMMA provides a low recurrence rate, similar to others in the literature, and good functional scores.

Purpose: We reviewed the outcome of treatment of ossifying fibroma involving long bones. Materials and methods: Eight patients who enrolled at our hospital for ossifying fibroma from 1994 to 1999 were selected for this study. Mean age was 7.9 years old. Five were male and three female. Seven involved tibia and one fibula. All cases were diagnosed by biopsy. The initial treatment was conservative and the followings were operative indications; (1) repeated fracture, (2) suddenly growing mass, (3) severe bowing deformity, (4) pseudoarthrosis. We assessed the recurrence by x-ray follow-up. Results: As initial treatment, curettage was performed in 2 patients, observation in 2 subperiosteal resection in one and extraperiosteal resection in 3 patients. Two patients who were observed and 3 patients who received extraperiosteal resection did not suffer recurrence. Two patients who received curettage and one patient who received subperiosteal resection had recurrence. The second treatment was performed in 3 patients. The one case of curettage received extraperiosteal resection. The other was in observation. The case of subperiosteal resection was in observation, too. There were no recurrence and aggravation at follow-up. Conclusion: Ossiying fibroma should to be treated by conservative method. If operation is indicated, extraperiosteal resection could reduce the recurrence.

Ameloblastic fibroma is rare true benign mixed odontogenic tumor. Most of these tumors occur in the posterior region of the mandible under 20 years of age. It develops generally associated with unerupted tooth and grows slowly on the surface of alveolar bone, therefore interferes normal tooth eruption. These lesions rarely showing a little bony expansion, are usually asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on routine dental exam. It is similar to amleoblastic fibroodontoma and ameloblastic fibrodentinoma clinically and roentgenographically but represents no dental hard tissue formation histologically. Enucleation and curettage of surrounding bone are generally recommended options for treatment. Even though there are some reports of recurrence and malignant transformation and more aggressive treatment options like block resection are suggested sometimes, but in most cases, recurrence is unusual because it is well encapsulated and easily separated from adjucent bony socket. In these cases, we did conservative treatment such as enucleation and curettage to the patients who were visited for ameloblastic fibroma associated with delayed eruption of lower first molar. After regular check-ups, we found relatively natural eruption process of combined teeth.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if bony union can be obtained when a bone graft substitute is transplanted in order to treat a benign bone tumor and if there is a difference between calcium sulfate and hydroxyapatite in the healing procedure when the degree of the bony union after the bone graft are compared. Materials and Methods: This study selected 20 cases, in which a curettage on the benign bone tumors was conducted and a bone graft substitute was transplanted. The area of the focus, the new bone formation, the recurrence of the focus in the plain radiographs and histological findings were observed. Results: Twenty cases (13 males, 7 females) were evaluated. Their mean age at surgery was 15.8 years (2~45), and the mean follow-up period was 3 years. The mean area of focus was 30.7 $cm^3$ in the radiographs, and 19 cases showed successful results in the ultimate visit, while 1 case has a recurrence of the focus. Conclusion: Calcium sulfate has osteoconduction and superior bioavailability, and is absorbed in vivo in proportion to the new bone formation. On the other hand, hydroxyapatite has good osteoconduction. It can result in better bone formation when it is combined with an autologous bone graft, autologous bone marrow, and an allogenic bone graft, but is absorbed in vivo more slowly than the former.

Purpose: Benign bone tumor of the talar body have rarely been evaluated according to the therapeutic methods because of the scarcity of their incidence. Here, we report our experience of 8 cases who were treated by using of posterior approach and curettage through the posterior process of the talus. Materials and Methods: Between February 1986 and October 2001, we experienced 8 cases of benign bone tumor occurring in the talar body. They included two osteoid osteomas, two giant cell tumors, one capillary hemangioma, one chondroblastoma, one simple bone cyst, and one osteochondroma. Their mean age was 22.1 years (ranging from 10 to 41 years). Mean follow-up period was 7.7 years (ranging from 1 to 16 years). All patients were treated by using of posterior approach. Two osteoid osteomas and one osteochondroma were treated by excision of tumors. Other cases were treated with curettage through the cortical window on the posterior process of the talus. Results: There was no recurrence during the follow-up period. one infection occurred. Except this case, all patients had no pain in weight-bearing, and complete range of movement at the ankle joint was reserved in each case. Conclusion: In this study, we suppose that posterior approach to the talar body may be a safe method with minimal damage of normal tissues and sufficient of curettage is capable through the cortical window on the posterior process of the talus.
