Purpose: To investigate the relationship between classification based on simple radiographic findings and arthroscopic findings of the cartilage lesions in medial degenerative arthritis of the ankle joint. Materials and Methods: We studied 41 ankles of 36 patients with asymmetrical narrowing of the medial joint space. Degenerative arthritis following fracture and those with generalized arthritic disease were excluded, but those with a history of ankle sprain were included. Standing radiographs of all patients were graded according to the Takakura classification and the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) classification. Arthroscopic findings were classified according to the depth, width, and anteroposterior dimension of articular cartilage damage. Results: According to the Takakura classification, 29 ankles were classified as stage II, 7 cases as stage IIIA and 2 cases as stage IIIB. According to our classification of arthroscopic findings of 29 ankles in stage II, 1 ankle was graded as Grade I, 3 ankles as grade II, 10 ankles as grade III, and 15 ankles as grade IV. Spearman correlation coefficient between Takakura classification and arthroscopic classification was 0.342 (P=0.028), and coefficient between K/L classification and arthroscopic classification was 0.480 (P=0.001). Conclusion: Degenerative changes of the articular cartilage are more advanced than radiographic findings in many patients with ankle degenerative arthritis with asymmetrical narrowing of medial joint space. Therefore, we conclude that more aggressive effort should be made for correct diagnosis and treatment of degenerative arthritis.

We reviewed the cases of 35 knees of 34 patients who had arthroscopic debridement for degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee. The patients were followed up for an average of 29 months (range: 13 months to 45 months). The mean age of the patients at operation was 54 years (range: 44 years to 75 years). At the time of follow up, the patients were evaluated using the nine-point scale by Baumgaertner et al. We divided the knee into 4 stages according to the classification system by Jackson et al. Satisfactory results were achieved in 80%(stage I), 75%(stage II), 55.6%(stage III) and 25%(stage IV) of the patients. Arthroscopic debridement is of significant value in the earlier stages of degenerative osteoarthritis (stage I and II) for the symptom relief as a simple procedure with rare complication as well as in the later stages(stage III and IV) as a time buying procedure before the total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and the functional results of the osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) treated with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. Materials and Methods: The study was based on 25 cases (25 feet) of osteochondral lesion of talus that were treated with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty from May 1997 to June 2005 with at least 1 year follow-up. Follow-up period was average 21.8 months. The average age was 37.2 years old. Male patients were 22 while female were 3. Postoperative evaluation was performed with American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Functional score, patient satisfaction and complications. Results: Ninety-two percent of patients had trauma history. Seventy-two percent of the lesions were located at the medial dome. As for the cartilage classification, 56% were fibrillation/fissure lesions while 44% were flap tears. Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score improved from 6.8 points to 2.2 points, and AOFAS score improved from 71.3 points to 87.3 points. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery and average period of returning to previous job was 6.5 weeks. Conclusion: We concluded that the arthroscopic osteochondroplasty is a viable surgical option for the osteochondral lesion of the talus.

Background: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension, and investigate the radiologic and clinical benefits from the results. Methods: We evaluated patients treated with arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension from November 2008 to September 2015. Fractures with displacement exceeding one-fourth of the anterior-articular surface or more than one-third of the posterior-articular surface in radiographic images were treated by surgery. Clinical assessment was conducted based on range of motion, Rowe score, and Constant score of injured arm and uninjured arm at last follow-up. Results: Fifteen patients with Ideberg classification grade III, IV, and V glenoid fracture who underwent arthroscopic-assisted reduction using percutaneous screw fixation were retrospectively enrolled. There were no differences in clinical outcomes at final follow-up compared to uninjured arm. Bone union was seen in all cases within five months, and the average time to bone union was 15.2 weeks. Ankylosis in one case was observed as a postoperative complication, but the symptoms improved in response to physical therapy for six months. There was no failure of fixation and neurovascular complication. Conclusions: We identified acceptable results upon radiological and clinical assessment for the arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation. For this reason, we believe the method is favorable for the treatment of Ideberg type III, IV, and V glenoid fractures. Restoration of the articular surface is considered to be more important than reduction of fractures reduction of the scapula body.

목적: 다발성 건을 침범한 관절경적 회전근 개 복원 술 후 재 파열의 발생률 및 관련된 요인을 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 극상건과 극하건을 포함한 회전근 개 파열을 보인 22예의 관절경적 복원 술 후(평균 파열크기 3.2 cm, 평균 연령: 58세) 평균 10개월 후 자기공명영상으로 조사 하였다. 복원된 건의 상태 평가는 Sugaya의 분류를 이용하였으며 근육의 상태 변화는 Goutallier의 등급을 이용하였다. 결과: 총 22예 중 7예(32%)에서 재파열을 보였다(Sugaya 분류 IV, V형). 3 cm이상의 파열에서 높은 재파열률 을 보였으며(67%) 반면 3 cm 이하에서는 8%의 재파열률 을 보였다. 재파열을 보인 경우 수술 후 Goutallier II등급 이상의 근육의 변성을 보였다. 반면 재파열이 발생하지 않은 군에서도 근 위축이 호전된 경우는 볼 수 없었다. 결론: 다발성 건을 침범한 회전근 개 파열에서 관절경 적 복원 술 후 32%의 재파열을 보였다. 파열의 크기가 재파열의 중대한 요소이며 파열의 크기가 3 cm 이상인 경우 재파열이 더 자주 발생하였다. 재파열을 보인 경우 근 위축은 진행 하였으며 복원상태가 유지 되어도 근 위축이 호전된 경우는 볼 수 없었다.

Osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is a broad term used to describe an injury or abnormality of the talar articular cartilage and adjacent bone. Various terms are used to describe this clinical entity, including osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondral fractures, and osteochondral defects. Several treatment options are available; the choice of treatment is based on the type and size of the defect and the treating clinician's preference. Arthroscopic microfracture (a bone marrow stimulation technique) is a common and effective surgical strategy in patients with small lesions or in those in whom non-operative treatment has failed. This study had the following aims: 1) to review the historical background, etiology, and classification systems of OLT; 2) to describe a systematic approach to arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation for OLT; and 3) to determine the characteristics that are useful for assessing osteochondral lesions, including age, size, type (chondral, subchondral, cystic), stability, displacement, location, and containment of the lesion.

목적 : 류마티스 관절염 환자에서 견관절의 관절경적 활액막 절제술에 따른 임상결과를 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 1998년 5월부터 2000년 2월까지 견관절에 이환된 류마티스 관절염 환자로 관절경적 활액막 절제술을 시행 받은 16례를 대상으로 하였으며 평균 추시 기간은 29개월이었다. 성별은 남자 2명, 여자 14명이었고 연령 분포는 최소 32세에서 최고 66세로 평균 50세 였다. 결과의 평가는 일본 정형외과 학회에서 제시한 견관절 수술에 따른 임상 평가 (Clinical assessment of the shoulder surgery classification system)와 환자의 주관적 만족도에 따라 만족, 양호, 불만족으로 구분하여 평가하였다. 결과 : 일본 정형외과 학회에서 제시한 견관절 수술에 따른 임상 평가에 따라 술전 관절 운동 범위의 평균점수는 13.9에서 술후 평균 23.8로 증가하였고 동통은 술전 22.0게서 술후 26.5로 증가하였다. 주관적 만족도는 만족이 7례, 양호가 7례, 불만족이 2례로 양호 이상이 14례$(88\%)$로 나타났다. 결론 : 견관절의 류마티스 관절염환자에서 관절경적 활액막 절제술을 시행하는 경우 이환 기간이 짧을수록 경도의 관절 연골의 손상인 경우 더 나은 결과를 기대할 수 있었다.

목적: 내측 반월상 연골 방사형 파열의 관절경적 연골판 절제술 후 임상 결과를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 내측 반월상 연골 방사형 파열을 가진 2년 이상($2{\sim}7$년)의 추적이 가능하였던 45례를 대상으로 하였다. 관절경 수술은 체중 부하 단순 방사선 사진에서 Kellgren과 Lawrence분류상 정상이나 초기 퇴행성 관절염(0-2군)으로 분류된 환자에 한하여 시행하였다. 연골 손상의 정도는 수술 중에 Outerbridge 분류를 사용하였으며, 임상적 결론은 Modified Lysholm score를 사용하였다. 결과: 술 전 평균 Lysholm점수는 위의 순서대로 79.1, 71.2, 68.5, 67.9, 67.2, 61.5 이였으며, 술 후 점수는 86.3, 75.1, 73.0, 73.1, 73.2, 66.2이였다. 술 후 통증 호전은 각각 61.5%, 62.5%, 60.0%, 50.0%, 50.0%, 25.0%이었고, 술 후 만족도는 69.2%, 75.5%, 70.0%, 66.6%, 75.0%, 75.0%이었으며, 30.7%, 25.0%, 20.0%, 50.0%, 25.0%, 50.0%에서 다시 수술을 해야 할 것으로 대답하였다. 추시 단순방사선 사진은 7례(15.5%)에서 Kellgren과 Lawrence분류상 3군의 퇴행성 관절염으로 전환되었다. 결론: 단순 방사선 사진에서 정상 이나 초기 퇴행성 관절염을 가진 군(Grade 0-2)에서 내측 반월상 연골 방사형 파열은 다른 형태의 파열과는 달리 관절경적 절제술 후 불량한 임상적 결과를 보였다. 우수한 결과를 위해서는 관절경적 절제술 보다는 긴장 장력을 복원하는 술식이나 퇴행성 관절염을 방지 할 수 있는 근위 경골 절골술 등이 고려되어야 한다.
