목적: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성 환자에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간의 임상 결과를 후향적으로 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식을 시행받은 환자들 중 최소 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 37례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 수술은 동일한 술자에 의해 이루어졌으며 단일 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 17예, 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 경우가 20예 였다. 임상적 결과의 평가는 Karlsson 점수 및 Sefton의 평가법을 이용하였고, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성에 대한 방사선학적 평가로 Telos 기기를 이용한 전방 전위 및 내반 스트레스 검사가 이용되었다. 결과: Karlsson 점수는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 45.2점에서 술 후 89.4점으로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 46.4점에서 90.5점으로 각각 호전되었다. Sefton 평가법상 단일 봉합나사군은 우수가 7예, 양호가 8예, 보통이 2예 였고, 이중 봉합나사군은 우수 8예, 양호 10예, 보통 2예로 나타나 각각 15례(88.2%), 18례(90%)에서 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 스트레스 방사선검사 상 거골 경사각과 거골 전방전위는 단일 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 13.6도, 8.6 mm에서 술 후 최종 추시시 5.4도, 4.1 mm로, 이중 봉합나사군이 술 전 평균 14.1도, 8.4 mm에서 술 후 3.9도, 4 mm로 각각 호전되었으며 두 기법간에 술 후 거골 경사각의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론: 만성 발목관절 외측 불안정성에 대한 변형 Brostrom 술식에서 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 기법간에 술 후 임상 결과의 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 발목관절의 기계적인 안정성은 이중 봉합나사군에서 더 우수하였다. 단일 봉합나사와 이중 봉합나사를 이용한 변형 Brostrom 술식 모두 효과적인 치료 방법이라고 생각되며, 향후 운동 선수들을 대상으로 한 치료결과 및 생역학적 분석이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Introduction: Soft-tissue impingement syndrome is now increasingly recognized as a significant cause of the chronic ankle pain. As a method to detect soft-tissue ankle impingement, a characteristic history and physical examination, routine MR imaging, and direct MR arthrography were used. The efficacy of routine MR imaging has been controversial for usefulness because of low sensitivity and specificity. Direct MR artrhography was recommaned for diagnosis because of the highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, but it requires an invasive procedure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of Fat suppressed, contrast enhanced, three-dimensional fast gradient recalled acquisition in the steady state with rediofrequency spoiling magnetic resonance imaging(CE 3D-FSPGR MRI) and to evaluate the clinical outcome of the arthroscopic treatment in assessing soft-tissue impingement associated with trauma of the ankle. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 38 patients who had arthroscopic evaluations and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging studies(3D-FSPGR MRI) for post-traumatic chronic ankle pain between January 2000 and August 2002. Among them, 24 patients had osteochondral lesion, lateral instability, loose body, malunion of lateral malleoli, and peroneal tendon dislocation. The patient group consisted of 23 men and 15 women with the average age of 34 years(16-81 years). The mean time interval from the initial trauma to the operation was 15.5 months(3 to 40 months), The mean follow-up duration of the assessment was 15.6months(12-48 months). MRI was simultaneously reviewed by two radiologists blinded to the clinical diagnosis. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI was obtained from radiologic and arthroscopic finding. Arthroscopic debridement and additional operation for associated disease were performed. We used a standard protocol to evaluate patients before the operation and at follow-up which includes American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score. Results: For the assessment of the synovitis and soft tissue impingement, fat suppressed CE 3D-FSPGR MR imaging had the sensitivity of 91.9%, the specificity of 84.4 and the accuracy of 87.5%. AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Score of preoperative state was 69.2, and the mean score of the last follow-up was 89.1. These were assessed as having 50% excellent(90-100) and 50% good(75-89). The presence of other associated disease didn't show the statistically significant difference(>0.05). Conclusion: Fat suppressed CE 3D-FSPGR MR imaging is useful method comparable to MR arthrography for diagnosis of synovitis or soft-tissue impingement, and arthroscopic debridement results in good clinical outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features of ankle lesions, associated with anterior soft tissue impingement. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients who had chronic anterior ankle pain as initial symptom and associated ankle lesions with anterior soft tissue impingement. Based on preoperative radiologic findings, physical examination intra-operative findings, appropriate procedures were done for lesions by either arthroscopic or minimal open procedure or combined. Clinical evaluation was done using American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, ankle-hind foot score (AOFAS score) and visual analog scale (VAS) on last follow up. Results: Associated lesion(s) to anterior soft tissue impingement of the ankle were 16 cases of osteochondral lesion of talus, 14 cases of bony impingement, 6 cases of ankle lateral instability, 5 cases of loose body, 4 cases of os subfibulare. AOFAS score was $58.9\;{\pm}\;5.1$ preoperatively and $74\;{\pm}\;9.1$ on last follow up. Clinical satisfaction score using VAS showed excellent in 3 cases, good in 11, fair in 3, poor in 4. Conclusion: The patients who had anterior soft tissue impingement would have various associated lesions on their ankle. In such cases, preoperative counseling for variety of postoperative results would be needed.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate 1) the difference in static lower extremity alignment (SLEA) according to a history of lateral ankle sprain (LAS), 2) to identify SLEA factors affecting LAS, and 3) to present the cut-off value and 4) the usefulness and limitations of the SLEA measurement. Method: This case-control study recruited 88 men (age: 27.78±4.69 yrs) and 39 women (age: 24.62±4.20 yrs) subjects with and without LAS. SLEA measurement protocol included Q angle, tibiofemoral angle, genu recurvatum, rear foot (RF) angle, tibal varum and torsion, navicular drop, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DF ROM). Independent t-test, logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistical analysis. Results: Men with a history of LAS had significantly smaller Q angles both in standing and in supine position, while women with a history of LAS had significantly greater DF ROM in non-weight bearing (NWB; p < 0.05). Logistic regression model suggests tibial varum (OR = 0.779, p = 0.021) and WB DF ROM (OR = 1.067, p = 0.045) were associated with LAS in men. In case of women, there were no significant SLEA factors for LAS, however, ROC curve analysis revealed standing RF angle (AUC = 0.647, p = 0.028) and NWB DF ROM (AUC = 0.648, p = 0.026) could be affecting factors for LAS. Conclusion: There are differences in SLEA according to the history of LAS, furthermore, the identified items were different by sex. In case of men, tibial varum and WB DF ROM affect LAS occurrence. Standing RF angle and NWB DF ROM of women could be a predictor for LAS. However, since the sensitivity and specificity in most of the SLEA measurements are low, kinematic in dynamic tasks should be considered together for a more accurate evaluation of LAS risk.
