  • Purpose: To report the clinical and radiological result of the vascularized fibular epiphyseal transplantation in the treatment of humeral head deformity by septic arthritis Material & Methods: A 3 years old male who has humeral head deformity and bone defect by septic arthritis on neonatal period. We replaced bone defect as vascularized fibular epiphyseal transplantation and lengthened humerus shaft for humerus discrepancy. We followed it up for 14 years. Result: We saw the callus formation 2 months after surgery and obtained bone union, one year after surgery. The transplanted fibular bone got hypertrophy. We could check full range of motion on lt. shoulder and The bone deformity was not worsened and The graft did not displaced on last follow up. Conclusion: Humeral head reconstruction by vascularized fibular epiphyseal transplantation showed good clinical outcome.

  • To purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical results between rheumatoid arthritis shoulder cases and traumatic proximal humerus fracture cases. Fourteen patients who had been shoulder hemiarthroplasties between March 1991 to July 1996, six had rheumatoid arthritis and eight had comminuted proximal humerus fracture by the various trauma. Neer II prothesis were implanted in twenty cases and global prothesis were implanted in two cases. The follow up period was 15 months to 36 months. To evaluate this study, we used the UCLA shoulder rating. We were able to follow up thirteen cases for more than fifteen months, of which five cases had excellent, five cases had good, two cases had fair and one case had poor. And the results were better for patients with rheumaroid arthritis than for patients with trauma.

  • Pulmonary embolism is a serious complication, which is well known in patients undergoing total hip or total knee arthroplasty or lower extremity fracture surgery. But, there are few literatures concerning pulmonary embolism after upper extremity surgery. Pulmonary embolism after minor upper extremity fracture surgery is extremely rare. We report a case of 66-year-old female patient that developed pulmonary embolism after percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for a greater tubercle fracture of the proximal humerus with literature review.

  • To prevent distraction and varus deformity between the humeral head and shaft, tension band sutures placed between the head of the interlocking screw and the rotator cuff, and we recommend using nonabsorbable sutures. We describe our simple procedure to overcome these difficulties in tension band suturing after reducing a proximal humerus fracture to maintain the reduction.

  • We were preferred bovine cortical bone to the others in xenobonegrafts for human and small animals, because those were not limited to supply and have sufficient size for bone transplantation. The strength (ST) and stiffness (SF) of cortical bone in bone grafts were very important. The strength and stiffness of cortical bone were much difference according to position of long bone in bovine limbs because which were biomechanical different to bear body weight. Therefore, we determinated by three bending point test methods the strength and stiffness of cortical bone which were collected in diaphysis of humerus, radius, femur and tibia of bovine. In the results, the strengths and stiffness among these were highest in radius by ST: 253.84$\pm$40.80 MPa, SF: 7.89$\pm$1.91 Gpa and lowest in humerus by ST: 185.69$\pm$28.54 MPa, SF: 6.21$\pm$1.22 Gpa.
