A 58-year-old-male patient presented with worsening pain and restricted movements of his right hip after undergoing multiple procedures for treatment of an inter-trochanteric fracture. Secondary arthrosis and an incorporated intramedullary fibular cortical bone graft which caused severe narrowing of the medullary canal were observed by imaging. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) using knee arthroscopic tools was performed for preparation of the severely narrowed femoral canal. A satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved and stable components were observed on radiographs at the 11-year follow-up. The technique described here may be considered when attempting to perform a conversion THA for preparation of a severely narrowed femoral canal using a fibular strut in order to minimize morbidity and prevent structural destabilization.

원위 요골의 거대 세포종은 빈도가 많지는 않다. 통상적으로 골 소파술 및 골 시멘트 충전술로 치료하지만, 재발한 경우나 처음부터 골피질 파괴가 심하고 관절 침범이 있을 경우에는 일괄 절제(en bloc resection) 후 근위 비골을 이용하여 재건하는 술 식이 많이 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 고식적 술 식으로 치료한 후 국소 재발한 원위 요골의 거대 세포종 환자에서, 근위 비골을 이용한 재건술을 시행하여도 일차 술 식 시 오염의 범위가 심하여 다시 재발할 가능성이 높아 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌(ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, UHMWPE)과 골수강내 고정물 및 골 시멘트를 조합하여 원위 요골을 재건한 1례를 보고 하고자 한다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate if the Ilizarov external fixation procedure with axial compression can help to obtain fusion across the ankle joint in patients with a high risk of nonunion. Materials and Methods: From January 2006 to December 2015, the study reviewed 17 patients who underwent ankle arthropathy with a high risk of nonunion and who underwent ankle fusion using the Ilizarov external fixator with axial compression and auto bone grafting. After the lateral surface of the ankle joint was exposed through a lateral trans-fibular approach, massive removal of the articular cartilage and excision of any loose or avascular bone were done. With the cortical bone harvested from the pelvis as corticocancellous bone blocks, we inserted the two cortical blocks longitudinally into the anterior and posterior part of the free ankle space from lateral to medial to make the rectangular chamber to fill the cancellous bones. After the Ilizarov external fixator was equipped, we tightened the frame by 5 mm to compress the bone graft space. We accessed the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) AnkleHindfoot score both preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: The average age at the time of operation was 63.4 years (range, 47~78 years). The mean frame time was 17.4 weeks (range, 15~23 weeks). The average follow-up period was 3.7 years (range, 2~6 years). Osseous fusion was obtained in 15 patients (88.2%). There were two stable pseudarthroses among the rheumatoid arthritis patients, and we continued their follow-up. The mean AOFAS AnkleHindfoot score improved from 48.5 to 73.7 points. Conclusion: Ankle arthrodesis using the Ilizarov external fixation with axial compression and auto bone grafting on the ankle arthropathy that had difficult conditions to achieve union is considered one of the useful methods with a correspondingly low incidence of complications.
