Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of revision surgery for failed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadruple hamstring tendon autograft. Materials and Methods : From May 2000 to July 2002, six patients received ACL revision surgery using quadruple hamstring autograft for failed ACL reconstruction. Femoral tunnels were made 40 mm in depth and fixed with a cross pin and a bioabsorbable interference screw to fill the bone defect. In tibial tunnels, the grafts were fixed with Intrafix(Mitek, Norwood, MA). In case of tibial tunnel widening, additional screw-washer fixation was done. Follow up was at least 12 months postoperatively. Clinical assessments consisted of Lysholm knee scores, International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC) evaluation form and manual maximal side to side difference using KT-2000 arthrometer. Results : The average Lysholm knee score improved from 77.2 preoperatively to 87.7 postoperatively. At the final IKDC evaluation, 1 case was graded as normal, 4 nearly normal, 1 abnormal. Mean side to side difference of manual maximum anterior displacement using the KT-2000 arthrometer was 1.8mm. The success rate was $83\%$. Conclusion : ACL revision surgery using quadruple hamstring autograft with double fixation is considered good procedure with successful results.

이차성 대동맥장루는 아주 드물며 대동맥-장골동맥의 재건수술의 중대한 합병증으로 발생할 수 있다. 이 질환은 진성 대동맥장루와 paraprosthetic enteric fistula 로 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 합병증의 예방, 진단 및 치료는 추구해야할 문제로 되어 있다. 염증성 가성동맥류로 복부대동맥 및 장골동맥을 인조혈관으로 치환한 후 41개월에 내시경으로 Paraprosthetic enteric Fistula로 진단되어 수술을 시행한 39세 남자환자를 치험하였기에 보고한다.

New chords formation of mitral valve using expended-polytetrafluoroethylene sutures was performed in six patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) from April, 1994 to March, 1995. There were 3 men and 3 women whose mean age was 65 years, ranged from 55 to 75. A double-armed pledget suture was passed through the lateral portion of papillary muscle head and tied. Each arm of the suture was brought up to the free margin of the leaflet and passed through the area where the native chorda was attached. At leaflet surface, one more weaving was made. fter the lengths of the two arms were adjusted, the ends were tied. There were no operative deaths. Patients have been followed up from 2 to 13 months, mean 8. Echocardiographic sutudies were performed at 10 days after operation and revealed normal mitral valve function in all patients.

The common cause of tracheoesophageal fistula(T-I fistula) after tracheal intubation is ulceration and necrosis of the posterior wall of trachea by compression pressure generated by cuff. We experienced a young woman sustaining a T-I fistula which was found on the 12th day of intubation for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Because spontaneous closure of the fistula is far uncommon, operative closure should be aimed for and should be done as soon as diagnosis is conformed. We delayed ope ative closure because of poor general condition of the patient. In spite of delayed reconstruction, the tracheal reconstruction itself was successful, but the patient died of peritonitis induced sepsis on the postoperative 41th day.

Purpose: Anteromedial (AM), posterolateral (PL), anterior, and posterior remnant preserving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions were conducted on patients with partial ACL tears based on the arthroscopic findings. The clinical results of the four groups were compared. Materials and Methods: This study included 98 patients who underwent a remnant preserving ACL reconstruction from January 2013 to June 2016 and could be followed-up for at least two years. The subjects were categorized into four groups according to the selective bundles reconstructed: group A, anteromedial selective bundle reconstruction; group B, posterolateral selective bundle reconstruction; group C, anterior bundle reconstruction; and group D, posterior bundle reconstruction. The preoperative and postoperative anterior translation from the stress X-ray, International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC SKF) score, Lysholm score, and hospital for special surgery (HSS) score were compared. Results: All four groups showed significant improvement in anterior translation on the stress X-ray conducted with knees at 15° flexion, IKDC SKF score, Lysholm score, and HSS score postoperatively (in all groups, p<0.001). No intergroup differences were observed in terms of the functional outcomes except that preoperative IKDC SKF score was higher in the C group than in the A group (p=0.021), and the preoperative Lysholm score was higher in the B group than in the A group (p=0.03). Conclusion: After the AM, PL, anterior, and posterior remnant preserving ACL reconstructions, all four groups showed satisfactory results in terms of the anteroposterior stability and functional knee scores with no significant intergroup differences.

Between January 1992 and February 1995, 36 patients with mitral regurgitation were treated by a mitral repair There wert nineteen men and seventeen women whose mean age was 41.8 years, ranged from 10 to 71. Seventeenth patients had dystrophic change of mitral valve, twelve patients had rheumatic change of mitral valve, second patients had infective change of mitral valve and another fifth patients had functional change of mitral valve. Operation proced res were suture annuloplasty (35 cases), resection of leaflet (25 cases), chordal shortening(9 cases) and commisurotomy(1 cases). These procedures were combined in most patients. Two third of the patients were in New York Heart Association class III or IV and four fifth of the patients were in mitral regurgitation grade III or IV by doppler echocardiogram. After mitral valve repair, the patients were improved hemodynamic, echocardiographic data and functional class. Intraoperative TEE had been used in all most patients after weaning of bypass. If there remained MR more than grade 2, the valve was re-repaired or replacement. There were no operative death. The late mortality was 5.5% and cause of death was congestive heart failure. Patients have been followed up from 3 to 40 months, mean 15. Second patients underwant reoperation due to recurred mitral regurgitation, 4 and 19 days after the operation. During reoperation, we found that the repair suture was disrupted in both patients. Th s expierence demonstrated that intraoperative TEE is accurate and predictable and excellent immediate and mid-term results have been achieved by mitral valve repair.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are treatedwith surgical reconstruction. Although ACL consists of two functional bundles, only the anteromedial bundle is surgically reconstructed, and the effect of the reconstruction of the posterolateral bundle is unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the posterolateral bundle and the effect of double-bundle reconstruction during single-leg landing. A 3D dynamic knee with various ACL reconstructed models was created using MRI, and single-leg landing motion was simulated using in-vivo human experimental data. The results showed that the lateral shift of the tibial insertion of the anteromedial bundle and the posterolateral bundle of the ACL constrain the tibial internal rotation more efficiently than a single anteromedial bundle can. In addition, double-bundle ACL reconstruction is less sensitive to inaccuracies in the tibial tunnel placement.
