The authors describe one case of a 25-year-old male with nodular tenosynovitis in left knee joint who did not have a history of joint trauma. He had joint pain and restricted flexion of the left knee at 100 degrees. After arthroscopic excision of mass, symptom was relieved completely and the patient had gained full range of motion of the left knee. No recurrence of symptom and loss of motion of the left knee were noticed during follow up period for 12 months.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to make a report on the clinical prognosis of post traumatic lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee after LCL augmentation and popliteal tenodesis. Materials and Methods: The assessment was made among 21 cases who underwent augmentation of lateral collateral ligament(LCL) and popliteal tenodesis with allograft or artificial ligament (synthetic polyester, ABC ligament, Surgicraft, U.K.) at this Medical Center during the period from July 1996 to July 2003 and whose follow-up period was longer than one year. The authors recorded and analysed the physical findings (external rotation recurvatum test & posterolateral drawer test), stress roentgenograms(preoperative and postoperative) and Lysholm score. Results: The lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee were improved in 20 cases postoperatively, acccording to the clinical test and stress roentgenograms . Average Lysholm score was 52.5 preoperatively and 86.7 postoperatively .Conclusion: Our study found the surgery of lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee with augmentation of LCL and popliteal tenodesis using allograft or artiflcial ligament is simple technique. Taking these results into consideration, it seems to be one of effective methods of treatment.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis most commonly occurs in the knee joint and rarely extends into the popliteal space, which not only has mimicked Baker's cyst but also has been misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. We report a case of a diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of knee joint which is extended into the popliteal space as like a popliteal cyst. We treated this case by arthroscopic total synovectomy and excision of cyst. There was no recurrence during more than one year after operation.

The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) is one of three fat pads located about the anterior knee. Injury in this region is relatively common. Damage to the IPFP is caused mostly by an iatrogenic injury from a surgical procedure or repeated small collision trauma. The authors experienced a case of an IPFP injury, that has not been reported in the domestic or international literature. In this case, acute IPFP separation followed by a contusion at the anterior aspect of knee in the kneeling position, confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was fully recovered with conservative treatment.

Purpose : To evaluate the clinical results of displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures which were treated with transpatellar cannulated screw fixation. Materials and Methods : Ten patients with displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures were treated between December 1998 and May 2001 and then followed up for more than one year. They were treated arthroscopic reduction and fixation of fracture site by cannulated screw through the hole of nonarticular surface of inferior patella. They were prospectively evaluated with regard to their clinical and radiologic results. Results : Radiologic unions occurred at an average of 9.2 weeks. Average anterior displacements were 1.8 mm in stress x-rays and 1.1 mm in KT-2000 arthrometer. Average loss of extension was $4.1^{\circ}$. Functional results were excellent in 7 cases and good in 3 cases. Conclusion : Arthroscopic transpatellar cannulated screw fixation is one of the useful methods for the treatment of displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures.

이 논문의 주목적은 정상인을 대상으로 각기 다른 3가지의 (체중의 1.5 %, 3.0 %, 9.0 %) 부하를 통해서 자세의 불균형을 유발시켰을 때 나타나는 postural movement patterns을 기술하기 위한 연구이다. 연구대상의 허리중심에 체중부하를 주어 균형이 뒤로 이동하게 하여, surface EMG(표면 근전도)를 통하여 Tibialis anterior(Ta), Gastrocnernius(Gc), Quadriceps femoris(Qc), Hamstring(Ha), Rectus abdominalis(Ab)와 Paraspinalis(Pa) 근육들의 motor recruitment pattern(운동회집형태)를 측정하였다. 그리고 비디오 촬영은 고관절, 슬관절, 족관절의 움직임을 보기 위해 사용하였다. 특히 근전도 (EMG)는 자세반응 검사에 있어 첫 근반응(근수축) 경과시간(FR)과 분절간격간의 (ID)시간을 조사하는데 사용되었다. 이 연구의 결과는 4가지 중요한 사실을 전해주고 있다. 첫 번째로서, 연구대상자에게 체중의 1.5 %의 부하를 적용하였을 때 Ta가 가장 먼저 수축을 시작하였고(FR:$88{\pm}19.4$ ms) 발목과 대퇴사이의 분절 간격간(ID)의 평균은 +9.3 ms였다. 또한 족관절의 변화가 가장 뚜렷하여 Nashner(1985)의 족기전을 뒷받침하고 있다. 둘째로는 연구대상자에게 체중의 3.0 %의 부하를 주었을 때 Qc와 Ab근육이 원위부에서 근위부 순서로 수축하였고, 첫 번째 근육수축시간은 ($82{\pm}39.2$ ms)였다. 그리고 이때 분절간격의 평균은 +8.3ms 이였고 Ta는 거의 반응하지 않았다. 족관절과 슬관절에 비해 고관절의 변화가 가장 현저하게 나타났고, 이 또한 Nashner의 고관절 기전과 같은 현상을 보였다. 셋째로 연구 대상자에게 체중의 9.0 % 부하를 허리에 적용하였을 때 근수축은 근위부에서 원위부 순서를 이루어졌다. 즉 Ab,Qc, Ta, Ps순으로 근수축 되었다. Ab가 처음으로 수축하여 첫 반응(FR)은 $73{\pm}3.2$ ms 이였고 슬관절과 고관절의 변화가 가장 뚜렷하였다. 넷째로 연구 대상자에게 체중의 9.0 %부하를 적용하였을 때, 균형을 잡기 위해 뒷걸음치는 것이 관찰되었고 이때 근수축 순서는 Ta,Ab.Ps,Qc,Hs였다. 이 결과는 Nasher의 결과와 불일치하였다. 이상과 같은 결과에서 연구대상자의 자세운동형태(postural movement patterns)는 각기 다른 부하 정도와 시간에 따라 합성적으로 이루어지는 것으로 보여졌다. 특히, 자세운동형태는 부하의 적용위치와 연구대상자의 최근의 경험에 영향을 받은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 결론적으로 말하면 자세운동형태는 중앙신경계의 제한적(한정적) 명령 시스템에 의해서 움직임(movement)이 발생하기 전에 조직된다는 Nashner의 가설을 뒷받침하였다.

Purpose: In case of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, graft tendon is generally fixed in tibial tunnel with knee extended. When reconstructing ACL using hamstring tendon, the authors aim to find out the effect of knee joint position during graft fixation on postoperative knee joint stability and range of motion. Materials and Methods: Prospective study was done on patients who have undergone ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon from May 2002 to January 2003 We used Rigifix system (Mitek Product, Johnson and Johnson, USA) and Intrafix system for fixation. Thirty nine patients received ACL reconstruction during this period. Excluding 2 patients lost in the follow-up, 37 patients were analyzed. The mean follow-up period was 14 months $(13{\sim}25months)$. Knee position was decided alternatively without any bias. Clinical evaluation was based on Lachman test, pivot shift test, Lysholm score, IKDC(international knee documentation committee) assessment and side to side KT-1000 maximal manual arthrometer difference. Results: After the last follow-up, average postoperative Lysholm score was 93.1 poins(65-98points). According to IKDC score, 26 cases were normal, 10 cases were nearly normal, 1 case was abnormal and we had no case of severe abnormality. The mean difference from the normal side was 2.5 mm under maximal manual loading KT-1000 arthrometer. According to postoperative Lachman test, 32 cases were normal,2 cases were grade I and 1 case was grade II. There were 34 cases of normal, 2 cases of grade I and 1 case of grade II. When using maximal manual KT-1000 arthrometer side to side difference, the difference from the normal side while fixing the tibia at 20'knee flexion was 2.3 mm and at full extention the difference was 2.7 mm. The range of motion at postoperative 1 year showed 5 degree flexion contracture in 1 case at 20 degrees knee flexion and 10 degrees of flexion limitation was observed in 2 cases at full extension. Conclusion: When ACL reconstruction using autogenous hamstring tendon, anterior laxity showed no difference in its stability between two groups. Tibial side fixation at full extension may be helpful in preventing flexion contracture due to overconstrained graft tendon.

A hemangioma occurred in the bony epiphysis is extremly rare. A 5-year-old boy visited to our hospital with pain and flexion contracture on the right knee. MRI showed some lesions scattered in the epiphysis of the distal femur and the proximal tibia. Biopsy specimen from the distal femoral epiphysis revealed pathologic findings compatible with hemangioma. On 8 years follow-up, the lesion in the distal femoral epiphysis had been cured, and those in the proximal tibial epiphysis were spontaneously disappeared without surgery. The scanogram shows no leg length discrepancy and angular deformity. We reports a rare case of hemangioma occurred in the bony epiphysis with the results of 8 year follow-up with the review of literatures.
