The calcaneal insufficiency avulsion fracture usually occurs in an area of fused apophysis in adults without significant history of trauma or overuse activities. It is an uncommon injury which has been described in patients with complicated diabetes, Charcot neuroarthropathy, amyloidosis with neuropathy, severe osteoporosis, and other conditions. Discussion of the issue of fracture location is still not sufficient. We report on a case of a 50-year-old male who experienced a non-traumatic diabetic calcaneal insufficiency fracture. Intraoperatively, a biopsy specimen was obtained from the exposed fracture site for histological study. We assume that the calcaneal fused apophyseal line is the weak point of failure due to various incomplete mixtures of trabecular bone, woven bone, and cartilaginous tissues, and may fail when repeated tensile stress is imposed.

Generally, as the welded region of weld structures has the incomplete bead and welded deposit which are able to behave like the surface cracks occasinally, there is a high possibility that the fatigue fracture of the weld structures is due to the surface cracks on the wlded region. This study was done to investigate the effects of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the fatigue behaviors of the surface crack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) for the multi-pass welds under the repetitive pure bending moment. The obtained results are summarized as follows : 1. The crack grows to the depth direction initially as the number of cylces increase, the amount of crack length is increased for the surface dir3ction and cive versa for the depth direction. 2. The fatigue life is increased in a order of as weld, PWHT specimens and parent. 3. As the number of cycles increase, the crack length is increased to th surface direction. The increase of the depth length is blunted at the center of specimen thickness. 4. The fatigue crack growth of PWHT specimens to the surface direction is dependent upon the holding time and applied stress during PWHT. In order words, the crack growth rate decreases with the holding time and increases with the applied stress during PWHT. 5. As the crack grows, the aspect formed in the course of crack propagation approaches to semicircle for parent and ellipse with the largest semidiameter for PWHT ($1/4hr, 15kgf/mm^2$) 6. At depth direction, it is difficult to apply to the paris' equation because of the scattered data between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity factor range.

균열치는 저작운동과 온도자극에 대한 치아의 통증을 호소하는 환자에서 자주 발견되는 질환으로 균열의 진행정도에 따라 다양하게 분류할 수 있다. 가장 흔한 원인으로는 저작과정 중의 갑작스러운 사고로 알려져 있지만 대부분 증령, 기존 수복물 또는 의원성 응력집중과 같은 기여요인이 있을 때 발생한다. 균열의 진행정도 및 치수침범에 대한 정확한 진단이 필수적이며 저작시 통증을 확인한 후 균열을 가급적 눈으로 확인하는 것이 좋다. 이를 위해 투과광이나 염색과 같은 보조적 방법을 이용할 수 있다. 치료는 즉각적인 통증완화를 위한 교합조정이나 파절편 고정이 필요하며 치수의 상태에 따라 근관치료가 추가적으로 필요할 수도 있다. 궁극적인 치료로는 복합레진이나 접착 아말감으로 균열부위에 가해지는 충격을 완화시킨 후 주조수복물을 이용한 교두보호가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 균열치에 대한 다양한 원인, 치료, 예후 등에 관한 문헌을 고찰할 것이다.
