It is rare that the complete avulsion, intrusive luxation, and extrusive luxation occurred by trauma at the same time. In July, 2003, 10-year and 2 month-old-girl was referred to Department of Pediatric dentistry, Chonnam National University Hospital due to complete avulsion of upper right lateral incisor, intrusive luxation of upper right cental incisor and extrusive luxation of upper left central incisor. Traumatized teeth were surgically repositioned and fixated with resin-wire splint at the same day. Endodontic treatment of avulsed tooth was performed 2 weeks after trauma. A radiograph was taken 3 months after trauma, which demonstrated root resorption of both upper central incisors. External root resorption was arrested by the root canal therapy with calcium hydroxide. It showed good results for 1 year and 4 month but further follow-up is needed to check root resorption and ankylosis.

A 10-year-old intact female Chihuahua weighing 2 kg was presented for complaint of forelimb lameness with non-weight bearing posture. Greater tubercle was palpated medial to its normal location on palpation and crepitation was intermittent with manipulation. On radiographic examination, left medial scapulohumeral joint luxation was found. Bilateral medial patellar luxations also were found and evaluated as grade III. Surgically, the medial scapulohumeral joint luxation was reduced with transposition of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. The patient's gait became normal and non-weight bearing posture was resolved at 6 weeks postoperatively.

Fingers are body parts with a complex structure and essential functions that are the most prone to trauma. The principle of treatment for finger fractures is to determine the balance between obtaining stable fracture fixation and early joint movement. Despite proper treatment, there are many cases of functional and cosmetic problems caused by stiffness or deformation as complications. This review article introduces the latest knowledge in the treatment of finger fractures focusing on fractures and dislocations around the interphalangeal joints, including joint surface damage, which is difficult to treat and leads to poor results. This article consists of fracture cases and describes the methods and solutions to address these complications.

Mechanism of the peroneal tendon dislocation is mainly the ankle trauma and commonly caused by severe peroneal tendon contraction at ankle dorsiflexion state. Peroneal tendon tears are frequently combined in recurrent dislocation. The peroneal tendon dislocation from the fibula groove can be confirmed with ultrasound scanning. Recurrent dislocation needs surgical treatment and usually gains good clinical outcome with fibula groove deepening procedure. Tibialis anterior tendon rupture is frequently found in old age but active patients who had tendency of tendon weakness due to chronic tendon attrition, repeated steroid injection, diabetic tendinopathy or inflammatory arthropathy.

Volar rotatory dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint(PIP) of the finger is rare. We report a female judo player who had volar rotatory dislocation of the PIP joint of the middle finger. She had dislocation of PIP joint total 4 times. At operation, the central tendon was identified as being distension, with the ulnar collateral ligament ruptured. The ruptured ulnar collateral ligament was interposed within the joint. The ruptured ulnar collateral ligament was repaired and extensor expansion was repaired. At last follow-up, she didn't have recurrent dislocation during judo. Accurate diagnosis, early intervention and progressive rehabilitation of this injury are very important as other dislocations.

Delayed treatment of volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint can result in wrist pain, limited rotation of the forearm, and degenerative arthritis that could be managed only by salvage procedures. A 24-year-old male patient presented with wrist pain and a loss of forearm rotation after surgery for a radial shaft fracture. The shaft of the radius was fixed with a plate and screws with a volar angulation of 7°. The ulnar head was dislocated volar to the distal radius, and the bone defect in the ulnar head was impacted into the volar rim of the sigmoid notch of the radius, preventing the head from being reduced in the joint. Corrective osteotomy of the malunited radial shaft and sliding osteotomy of the proximal ulnar head were performed to fill the distal bone defect. Pain and range of the forearm rotation were improved at postoperative 19 months.

Purpose: We studied the diagnostic value of dynamic US in the extensor tendon dislocation at the metacarpophalangeal joint. Materials and Methods: From January 2007 to October, we studied 6 cases that had been diagnosed and followed over 5 months (2-10) in average. US examination using a 10-MHz linear transducer were performed in three cases. The causes of dislocations were traumatic in 5 cases and congenital in one case. Results: In only 3 cases which could not be diagnosed clinically, we performed US. In dynamic US, all three cases showed the extensor tendon dislocation evidently. Operative findings were sagittal band rupture in 4 cases, capsular loosening in one case and sagittal band thinning in one case. Sagittal band repair was performed in 4 cases and capsular augmentation in one case. In case of congenital dislocation showing 4 digital extensor tendon dislocations in right hand, we operated only the second extensor by sagittal band repair with augmentation by looping. At last follow-up, no case showed recurrence or limitation of motion. Conclusion: In case of extensor tendon dislocation without apparent clinical finding, US with dynamic study has so great value that it can detect the dislocation in real time, which is superior to MRI.

Intrusive luxation that takes approximately three percent of permanent teeth commonly occures at anterior teeth. This intrusion frequently leads to pulp necrosis, root resorption, marginal bone loss and these complications are influenced by depth of intrusion and stage of root development. Various treatment approaches have been suggested to manage of intrusive luxation. Techniques aiming to reposition the intruded tooth include an observation for spontaneous re-eruption, surgical or orthodontic repositioning. We report two cases with clinically satisfactory results for traumatically intruded maxillary central incisor. In one case which has a large open apex and mild intrusion depth, we observed for spontaneous eruption and then repositioning by forced eruption method. In other case, which has been completely intruded, was repositioned by surgical extrusion and followed by apexification.
