Lateral malleolar bursitis rarely progresses to septic arthritis. In our case, the 27 year old man visited due to progressive left ankle pain, despite the antibiotics treatment of lateral malleolar bursitis. 8 years ago, modified Brostrom procedure was performed owing to chronic ankle instability. Previous surgery altered anatomical structure of lateral ankle bursa, so it may cause the infection to spread to the ankle joint. We reported rare case of secondary septic arthritis caused by lateral malleolar bursitis.

목적: 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염은 슬관절을 비롯한 주요 관절에서 드물게 발생하는 연부 조직 종양으로서 수술 적 치료 후 재발 빈도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 주요 관절에 발생한 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염에 대한 활막 전 절제술 후 임상 경과를 보고하고, 기존에 발표 된 문헌과 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 2월부터 2006년 3월까지 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염으로 치료 받은 21예의 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 발생 부위는 슬관절 14예, 족관절 5예, 견주관절 2예가 있었다. 평균 추시 기간은 5년 5개월이었다(36-157개월). 발생 연령은 평균 34세였으며 남자가 7명, 여자가 14명이었다. 후향적 연구 방법으로 관절 운동 범위 측정을 포함한 정기적인 임상 양상 평가를 하였다. 결과: 총 21예의 미만형 환자 중 1예를 제외 한 전례에서 활막 전 절제술 및 전기소작술을 통한 보강 치료를 시행하였으며, 정기적인 외래경과 관찰 상 재발이 의심되었던 2예에서 재수술 후, 1예에서만 조직학적 재발이 확진 되었다. 활막 전 절제술을 시행하지 못한 1예와, 재발로 재수술 받은 1예에서 술 후 방사선 치료를 시행 하였다. 임상 기능 평가상 술전과 비교하여 모든 부분에서 통계적으로 유의한 호전이 있었다.(p<0.0001). 슬관절에 발생한 병변으로 수술적 치료를 시행 후 관절 운동 장애로 제약이 있던 환자는 2예(총 14예) 있었다. 결론: 최소 3년 이상의 추시 기간 동안 활막 전 절제술 및 전기 소작술을 통한 보강 치료로 호전된 임상 결과 및 낮은 재발율의 치료 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 잦은 재발과 주요 관절에 발생하여 국소적 침투, 파괴로 기능 장애를 일으키는 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염에 치료에 있어 적절한 활막 전 절제술이 시행 될 경우 방사선 보강 치료는 제한 된 경우에만 필요할 것이다.

Purpose: To investigate the short term result of the first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis for treating the hallux valgus deformity of rheumatoid arthritis, using a lag screw and dorsal mini-plate. Materials and Methods: From December 1999 to September 2001, The first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis of 14 cases (9 patients) was underwent, using a lag screw and dorsal mini-plate. The follow-up period was averaged in 14.6 months. The subjective findings with respect to pain, functional aspect of ability to stand and walk, and to shoe-wearing were evaluated. The objective findings, such as the gross alignment and the radiological measurements for the hallux valgus angle, 1,2 intermetatarsal angle, and dorsiflexion angle were also studied. Results: After the arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the subjective improvement in pain, function and alignment was graded as excellent in seven (50%) feet, good in seven (50%) feet, and fair or poor in none. The hallux valgus angle and 1,2 intermetatarsal angle were reduced from $44.1{\pm}7.1$ and $15.5{\pm}6.2$ degrees to $13.6{\pm}2.6$ and $10.2{\pm}2.2$ degrees respectively. The dorsiflexion angle was measured in $20.3{\pm}3.7$ degrees after the fusion. The radiological fusion was observed at average 8 weeks after the operation in all cases. The overall complication of the procedure was few, except the delayed wound healing in one. Conclusion: The arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint using a lag screw and dorsal mini-plate was regarded as an excellent method of various operative modalities to correct the rheumatoid hallux valgus deformity.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of distraction arthroplasty as treatment for moderate or severe ankle osteoarthritis Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients who underwent distraction arthroplasty using the Ilizarov external fixator were available. We removed osteophytes around the ankle before applying the external fixator. We encourage the patients to do active range of motion exercise and to walk with cruch. Follow-up averaged 15 months (range, 10-31 months). Both the patients' postoperative satisfaction and the radiographic joint space were retrospectively evaluated. Results: The duration from applying the external fixator to remove was 12 weeks. Breakage of the wire applied to the forefoot occurred in 2 cases. All patients satisfied with the postoperative clinical results. The ankle joint space averaged $1.6{\pm}0.2mm$ in pre-operative, $4.2{\pm}0.9mm$ in post-Ilizarov external fixator's removal, and $2.3{\pm}0.3mm$ in last follow-up ankle lateral view. Conclusion: We think that distraction arthroplasty with external fixator is useful operative method for the moderate or severe ankle osteoarthritis.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterium has a wide-spread occurrence in nature, and skin, soft tissue, bone, lung and disseminated infection can be involved. Non-tuberculous mycobacterium infection occurs both in immunocompetent patients without underlying diseases and in immunocompromised hosts. Non-tuberculous mycobactrial osteomyelitis is a rare cause of granulomatous osteomyelitis, and has been previously reported in the sternum, spine, humerus, femur, tibia or metatarsal. Mycobacterium abscessus osteomyelitis is a very rare infection in the foot and only 1 case has been reported. Authors report a case of Mycobacterium abscessus osteomyelitis involving the tarsal and metatarsal bones in a non-immunocompromized middle aged women.

The acute osteomyelitis of calcaneus has been rarely reported. A diabetic patient, 44 year-old male was appeared with painful swelling on the hindfoot after being injected with steroid on the lateral area of hindfoot at a private clinic. The diagnosis was an acute calcaneal osteomyelits which was based on MRI finding. We report a case of the acute osteomyelitis of calcaneus, which was successfully treated with the curettage, antibiotic- impregnated bone cement beads, and delayed autogenous iliac bone graft, using the lateral approach.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The diagnosis of plantar fasciitis is primarily based on the presentation of symptoms and physical examination. Patients usually complain of heel pain at the medial calcaneal tubercle when taking their first step in the morning or when walking after resting. Diagnostic imaging is rarely required for the initial diagnosis of plantar fasciitis; however, it can be used for differential diagnosis. Conservative treatments, such as stretching, rest, ice massage, oral analgesics, foot orthotics, use of night splint, and corticosteroid injection, may be effective. The majority of patients report improvement with conservative treatments, and those who show no response from conservative treatments for a duration of six months or longer can consider extracorporeal shock wave therapy or surgery.

$10\sim15%$ of tuberculosis infections is extrapumonary. 10% of the extrapulmonary tuberculosis involves the musculoskeletal system. The spine is most frequently affected about 50%. Foot is infrequently sites, with the incidence in the literature varying from $3\sim7%$. Especially isolated calcaneal tuberculosis is very rare. The authors report one case of a 71-year-old female with calcaneal tuberculosis.

Finger infections are a common problem often caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Similarly, toe infections can present with similar clinical symptoms. Prompt identification of the cause of an infection is crucial for preventing disease progression to a state necessitating immediate and appropriate medical or surgical intervention. Herpetic whitlow is characterized by erythema and painful, non-purulent vesicles and typically results from a herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2 finger infections. However, while herpes whitlow of a finger is common, cases involving a toe are rare. Consequently, a lack of experience of herpetic whitlow of the toe could lead to a misdiagnosis as a bacterial infection and potentially result in unnecessary surgical treatment. Herein, we present a case of herpetic whitlow affecting a great toe that was initially misdiagnosed as a bacterial infection and subsequently treated surgically.
