CT 영상을 이용하여 인공 무릎관절 모의 치환 시술 환경 구축에 관한 방법을 제시한다. 관절의 3차원 형상의 재구성에 필요한 정보는 영상처리 기법을 이용하여 연속된 CT 영상으로부터 노이즈 제거와 포인트 데이터를 추출하며, 추출된 포인트 데이터는 영상의 해상도와 함께 생역학에서 제시한 역학적 축을 기준으로 실측의 3차원 형상으로 재구성된다. 재구성된 형상은 PC 기반에서 구현된 모의시술 프로그램을 통하여 관절 운동의 해석과 접촉면 해석을 지원하며, 조이스틱과 마우스등을 이용하여 인공관절의 치환과 절단을 가상으로 실행할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 인공 관절의 접합부에 대한 접촉면 해석을 통하여 시술에 대한 정합성과 연골 부위의 마모성 예측을 시각화하였다.

Arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint is defined as a disease of a joint with chief complaint of pain, clicking, limited jaw movements. Generally, most patients with the temporomandibular arthrosis can be treated conservatively with muscle relaxation therapy combined with mandibular repositioning prostheses, followed by occlusal equilibration, restorative dentistry and/or orthodontics, and many other forms of treatment. In case prior nonsurgical treatment proved to be ineffective or the disease is chronic and severe, surgical operation is recommended. For patients with arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint, only discectomy as therapeutic method of the surgical treatment should not be applied and the removed articular disc of the temporomandibular joint should be replaced. Allograft such as Proplast-Teflon, Silastic, etc have been used as replacements of removed articular disc. However, these allograft materials have caused complications such as inflammatory changes, foreign body reactions. As a result, a replacement material which is autogenous, space occupying, easy to harvest and less inflammatory change has been developed. Auricular cartilage with perichondrium satisfies many of these requirements. The apparent advantages of autogenous auricular cartilage as an interpositional graft after a discectomy are as follows, (1) the form of the external ear corresponds to joint morphology, (2) a graft of adequate size can be harvested, (3) the form of the external ear remains unchanged after surgery, (4) the graft can be obtained adjacent to the surgical site, (5) biologically acceptable material is used, (6) the additional expense of allogenic graft is avoided. Because we considered autogenous auricular cartilage as a good replacement material, removed articular disc has been replaced with fresh autogenous auricular cartilage in the case of three patients. The result of the treatment is favorable, and the cases being presented here.

Joint stocking and preventive age replacement policy is considered for non-repairable items assuming instantaneous replenishment. A recursive relationship among the optimal preventive replacement ages is obtained, which shows that the preventive replacement ages in a replenishment cycle form an increasing sequence due to the inventory carrying cost. Using this relationship, a procedure is given for determining how many units to purchase on each order and when to replace each unit after it has begun operating so as to minimize the total cost per unit time over an infinite time span. The problem can be simplified if equal preventive replacement ages are assumed, and the solution is very close to that of the original unconstrained problem.

Severe osteoarthrosis of the knee joint often requires total knee arthroplasty(TKA) to yield adequate knee function. The knee joint with TKA is expected ideally to restore the characteristics, however, this is not necessarily 1.ue in the clinical cases. In this study the motion of the intact joint and the joint after. TKA were investigated numerically using computer simulation. For active knee extension from 90 degrees of flexion to full extension, the intact knee joint exhibited anterior tibial translation near the full extension and it showed only rotation at other flexion angles. Physiologic external rotation of the tibia near full extension known as screw home movement was also noted in the analytical model. The analysis of the tibial insert of three different shapes (flat, semicurved, and curved types) demonstrated characteristic rotational and sliding motion as well as different contact forces.

Purpose : The objective of this study was conducted to find out treatment of weight bearing joint problems. Method : This is a literature study with books, seminar note and international PNF course books. Result : In joint therapy have to consider that what kind joint mechanics during movement, what kind relation between rotatory component of the force and translatory component of the force, what kind muscles are in the global mobilizer(GM) and local stabilizer(LS). One joint has muscle imbalance between GM and LS. It will make joint surface degenerative change which will make joint pain. Conclusion : Joint therapy is not only joint mobilization but also biomechanics of joint and GM's and LS's role. Total knee of hip joint replacement is not perfect. Before surgery have to be find out problem solving method within the physical medicine.

The aim of this article was to examine the usefulness of costochondral graft in the temporomandibular joint reconstruction. We performed costochondral grafting in the mandibular reconstruction including condyle replacement in 3 patients, which 2 of ankylosed cases and 1 destructed case. In one case, unexpected fracture of costochondral junction has developed at post-operative 2 months, but, normal mouth opening and facial appearance have been acheived by continuing exercise. These patients showed maximum mouth opening of 35-40 mm and no restriction of lateral side movement. They have been improved esthetics and function. We proposed that the costochondral graft is one of the useful method for functional reconstruction of defected mandibular condyle.

At present. about 0.3 million and more THRs (Total Hip Replacement) in a rear are being done worldwide. The increase in mechanical failure with the increase in THR, required more revisions. Revisions compensate mainly the wear of the artificial joint frictional surface and the loosening of the cup and stem. According to recent researches, loosening is mainly due to wear debris UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) from frictional surfaces . To overcome the wear problems associated with artificial joint materials , new surface structures with regular Patterns were designed and fabricated The lubrication Properties were examined to evaluate the wear of the frictional surfaces. The surface structure manifested a Pattern of "dents" with a 0.2-1.0 mm of diameter and 0.6-2.0 mm of Pitch. From the friction test of the SUS316L vs UHMWPE using the frictional tester, we found that the lubrication Performance was improved due to of drastically reduced amount of abrasion. There were optimum sizes for the diameter and the pitch of the Pattern. The results demonstrated that the lubrication properties could be improved by Patterning of the frictional surfaces. The surface Patterning was effective in preventing wear of the frictional surfaces, and the life of an artificial joint could be extended with such Patterning.
