Aneurysm embolisation method using coils have been widely used. Micro coils are introduced via a small catheter, and are packed inside of aneurysm sac, which induces intraaneurysmal flow stagnation and thrombus formation. When partial blocking of an aneurysm is inevitable, the location of coils is important since it changes the flow patterns inside the aneurysm, which affect the embolisation process. We measured the flow field inside the partially blocked lateral aneurysm models in vitro, and tried to suggest the effective locations of coils for aneurysm embolisation. Velocity fields are measured using a particle image velocitimeter for different coil locations- proximal neck, distal neck, proximal dome and distal dome. Flow into the aneurysm sac was significantly reduced in the distally blocked models, and coils at distal neck blocked inflow more effectively comparing to those at distal dome. This study suggests that distal neck should be the most effective location for aneurysm embolisation.

Two dogs presented to the Dueckso Animal Hospital with a history of intermittent lameness of the left forelimb. On physical examination, a visible antebrachial deformity that resulted in gross external rotation of approximately $90^{\circ}$ was observed in two dogs. Medial-lateral radiographic views revealed distal ulnar subluxation, cranial bowing of the radius, radial and ulnar shortening, and external rotation of the paw. A distal ulnar ostectomy and distal radial closing wedge osteotomy were performed in two dogs. A proximal ulnar osteotomy was performed, adjacent to the elbow joint in case 1. Then, the osteotomized site was supported with an intramedullary pin. A T-plate and cortical screws were applied to the proximal and distal radial segments after derotating the distal segment internally. Postoperative radiographic view verified the correction of the angular deformity in two dogs. The follow-up was completed by physical examination 6 and 10 months after surgery respectively. There was no evidence of lameness of the left forelimb in two dogs. Gross observation of the limb revealed an apparent appropriate correction of the rotational and angular deformity in two dogs.

Recently detection of early gastric cancer (EGC) has been increasing and the treatment strategies for gastric cancer have been changing. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between laparoscopically assisted (LADG) and hand-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy (HALDG) and open distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. This review is directed toward providing gastric surgeons with recent advances in the treatment of EGC. We investigated the English language literature for the past 12 years through computer searches which focused on : 1) Patient demographics, 2) Operation time, 3) Intra-operative blood loss, 4) Depth of invasion, 5) CBC, 6)Weight loss, 7) Analgesic requirement, 8)Time NPO, 9) Length of hospital stay, 10) Tumor stage, 11) Lymph node (LN) dissection, 12) Position of LN resected, 13) Complications. Improved operative techniques and surgical instrumentation have facilitated the development of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. The short-term benefits of laparoscopic gastrectomy included less surgical trauma, less pain, rapid return of gastrointestinal function, and shorter hospital stay, with no change in operative outcome. Laparoscopic gastrectomy was better accepted by the patients as a good procedure and promptly brought the patients back to their previous lifestyle and activities of daily living. But the advantages of HALDG for gastric cancer, extended lymph node dissection and intracorporeal anastomosis are feasible and easier with the presence of the internal hand. The hand-assisted laparoscopic (HALDG) method reported the best results in lymph node dissection.This method is an alternative to total laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. LADG and HALDG, when compared with conventional open gastrectomy, have several advantages. When performed by a skilled surgeon, LADG and HALDG are safe and useful techniques for patients with early-stage gastric cancer. Their appropriateness for gastric cancer surgery require further study.

We presented two cases of unstable fracture of the distal clavicle in children associating superior displacement of the ipsilateral distal clavicle and widening of the coracoclavicular (CC) interval. They obtained good osteosynthesis and reduction of the CC interval by conservative treatment. The primary conservative treatment should be considered for the treatment of the unstable distal clavicular fracture with widening of the CC interval in children.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcomes of distal hook augmentation using a pedicle screw in thoracolumbar fusion in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective multicenter study recruited 20 patients aged 65 years or older, who underwent anterior support and long level posterior fusion in the thoracolumbar junction with a follow-up of one year. To assess the effect of distal hook augmentation, the patients were divided into two groups; the pedicle screw with hook group (PH group, n=10) and the pedicle screw alone group (PA group, n=10). Results: The average age was 72.4 years (65-83 years). The average fusion segment was 4.6 segments (3-6 segments). There were no significant differences in age, sex, causative diseases, bone mineral density of lumbar and proximal femur, number of patients with osteoporosis, and number of fused segments between the two groups (p≥0.05). At 1 year follow-up after surgery, parameters related with distal screw pullout were significantly worse in the PA group. No patients in the PH group had distal screw pullout. However, six patients (60%, 6/10) in the PA group had distal screw pullout. There were no significant differences in the progression of distal junctional kyphosis between the two groups. Conclusion: Distal hook augmentation is an effective procedure in protecting distal pedicle screws against the pullout when long level thoracolumbar fusion was performed in elderly patients aged 65 years or older.

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.
