대퇴골 근위부의 기하학적 형상은 대퇴골 경부 골절과 중요한 상관관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 기존의 연구에서는 인장실험법과 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 상관관계를 분석해왔다. 그러나 이 방법들은 인체의 미리 정의된 대퇴골 형상을 변경할 수 없고, 다수의 시험편들을 확보하기 어렵기 때문에 다양한 시험편과 모델을 적용할 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대퇴골 골절 해석에 폭넓게 사용할 수 있도록 매개변수로 기하학적 형상 변형이 가능한 대퇴골 모델을 이용하여 대퇴골 골절과 형상 매개변수의 관계를 분석하였다. 이 관계를 분석하기 위하여 4가지 주요 매개변수(대퇴골두 직경, 대퇴경부 직경, 대퇴경두간 길이, 대퇴경간각)를 이용하여 다양한 해석 모델을 생성하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이 후 대퇴골두에서의 반력(reaction force)과 경부에서의 응력 분포(stress distribution)를 분석함으로써 유한요 소해석을 수행하였고, 대퇴경부 직경이 대퇴골 경부 골절에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 대퇴골두 직경이 가장 작은 영향을 미치는 결과가 나타났다.

Purpose: To assess the possibility of using panoramic indices as an indicator of jaw osteoporosis. Methods: Mandibular cortical width (MCW), degree of mandibular alveolar bone resorption (ABR) and morphology of mandibular inferior cortex (MIC) on panoramic radiograph were used as panoramic indices. These panoramic indices were compared with bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar (L1-L4) and femoral neck measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. We also compared MCW and ABR of young men with those of postmenopausal women. Results : There was a significant correlation between ABR and BMD of lumbar and femoral neck. And also significant correlation between MIC and BMD of lumbar and femoral neck. ANOVA test of BMD of lumbar and femoral neck showed significant differences according to morphologic classification of inferior cortex. There was significant difference in MCW and ABR between young men and postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Our results suggested that ABR and MIC on panoramic radiograph could be reliable in screening of osteoporosis.

목적: 10시 방향 대퇴 터널의 전방십자인대 재건술 후 MRI 검사의 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 자가 슬괵건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건술 후 MRI 검사를 시행 받았던 29명의 소견을 분석하였다. 평균 술 후 MRI 검사까지의 기간은 18.9개월($7{\sim}40$개월)이었다. 이식건의 신호강도, 형태, 연속성, 대퇴터널 시작점, 대퇴터널 위치, 과간 절흔 충돌, 교차 핀 손상 및 위치에 대해 조사하였으며 KT-2000 검사, Lysholm 점수, 축회전 검사 등과 비교하였다. 결과: 이식건의 신호강도와 술후 MRI 검사까지의 기간은 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 이식건의 형태와 연속성은 straight, well-preserved 가 대부분이었다. 대퇴 터널의 시작점은 zone 4가 13례, zone 3가 16례였으며 과간 절흔 충돌은 관찰되지 않았다. 교차 핀의 손상은 10례였고 이중 대퇴 후방 피질골 밖으로 빠진 경우가 5례였고, 방향이 후방을 향하는 경우가 9례였다. 교차 핀의 손상 여부와 임상 결과와의 상관 관계는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 결론: 전방 십자 인대 재건술 후 MRI 검사는 이식건의 상태와 위치, 교차 핀의 위치 등을 파악하는데 유용하였다. 10시 방향 대퇴터널의 전방십자인대 재건술에서는 특이 교차 핀의 위치가 중요하므로 수술 시 교차 핀의 손상을 피하기 위한 세심한 주의를 요한다.

The morphology of a bone is closely associated with its biomechanical response. Thus, much research has been focused on analyzing the effects of variation of bone morphology with subject-specific models. Subject-specific models, which are generally achieved from 3D imaging devices like CT and MRI, incorporate more of the detailed information that makes a model unique. Hence, it may predict individual responses more accurately. Despite these powerful characteristics, specific models are not easily parameterized to the extent possible with statistical models because of their morphologic complexities. Thus, it is still proven challenging to analyze morphologic variations of subject-specific models across changes due to aging or disease. The aim of this article is to propose a generic and robust parametric morphing method for a subject-specific bone structure. We demonstrate this by using the proposed method on a model of a human proximal femur. Automatic segmentation algorithms are also presented to parameterize the specific model efficiently. A total of 48 femur models were evaluated for defining morphing vector fields. Also, several anatomical and mechanical functions of femur were considered as morphing constraints, and the NURBS interpolating technique was applied in the method to guarantee the generality of our morphed results.

The current cadaveric report describes an unusual morphology of the sartorius muscle (SM), the biceps-bicaudatus variant. The SM had two (lateral and medial) heads, with distinct tendinous origins from the anterior superior iliac spine. The lateral head was further split into a lateral and a medial bundle. The anterior cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve emerged between the origins of the lateral and medial heads. SM morphological variants are exceedingly uncommon, with only a few documented cases in the literature, and several terms used for their description. Although their rare occurrence, they may play an important role in the differential diagnosis of entrapment syndromes, in cases of neural compressions, such as meralgia paresthetica, while careful dissection during the superficial inter-nervous plane of the direct anterior hip approach is of utmost importance, to avoid adverse effects due to the altered SM morphology.

Statement of problem. Titanium is the most important material for biomedical and dental implants because of their high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. These beneficial properties are due to a protective passive oxide film that spontaneously forms on the surface. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responses of osteoblast-like cells on different surface treatments on Ti discs. Material and Methods. Group 1 represented the machined surface with no treatment. Group 2 surfaces were sandblasted with $50{\mu}m\;Al_2O_3$ under $5kgf/cm^2$ of pressure. Groups 3 and 4 were sandblasted under the same conditions. The samples were treated on a titanium oxide surface with reactive sputter depositioning and thermal oxidation at $600^{\circ}C$ (Group 3) and $800^{\circ}C$ (Group 4) for one hour in an oxygen environment. The chemical composition and microtopography were analyzed by XRD, XPS, SEM and optical interferometer. The stability of $TiO_2$ layer was studied by petentiodynamic curve. To evaluate cell response, osteoblast extracted from femoral bone marrow of young adult rat were cultured for cell attachment, proliferation and morphology on each titanium discs. Results and Conclusion. The results were as follows : 1. Surface roughness values were, from the lowest to the highest, machined group, $800^{\circ}C$ thermal oxidation group, $600^{\circ}C$ thermal oxidation group and blasted group. The Ra value of blasted group was significantly higher than that of $800^{\circ}C$ thermal oxidation group (P=0.003), which was not different from that of $600^{\circ}C$ thermal oxidation group (P<0.05). 2. The degree of cell attachment was highest in the $600^{\circ}C$ thermal oxidation group after four and eight hours (P<0.05), but after 24 hours, there was no difference among the groups (P>0.05). 3. The level of cell proliferation showed no difference among the groups after one day, three days, and seven days (P>0.05). 4. The morphology and arrangement of the cells varied with surface roughness of the discs.
