A 5-year-old 6 kg male mongrel (case 1) and a 7-year-old 4.3 kg male yorkshire terrier (case 2) were presented to Chonbuk animal medical center (CAMC). Both animals had non-weight bearing hind limb lameness. Case 1 had complete rupture of cranial cruciate ligament with grade 3 medial patellar luxation. Case 2 had complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture with grade 4 medial patellar luxation. During surgery, in both cases, trochlear block recession was performed followed by CORA based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) and tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT). General soft tissue reconstructions for medial patellar luxation including medial releasing and lateral imbrication were also performed. Postoperatively, both animals demonstrated excellent recovery and regained normal weight bearing of the affected hind limb without any recognizable complication. CBLO followed by TTT can be a curative surgical option without complications in cases of cranial cruciate ligament rupture with high-grade medial patellar luxation in small breed dogs.

Ganglion in the anterior cruciate ligament is quite rare finding at the time of knee arthroscopy. We experienced a 58 years old female pateint with a ganglion in the anterior cruciate ligamentwho complained gradual development of flexion contracture of left knee joint and treated with arthroscopic excision of ganglion resulted in freedom from flexion contracture of her knee joint.

Anterior cruciate ligament tear is a common disease of knee injury. We report 1 case of anterior cruciate ligament complete tear diagnosed by MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) imaging and 1 case after reconstruction. Outcomes were measured by visual analogue scale(VAS) and Lysholm knee scoring scale. We applied acupuncture treatment, bee venom injection, bongchuna and prescribed herbal medication. Patients who treated by oriental medical treatments had a significant effect on the pain decrease and range of motion and knee function. Oriental medical treatments are very useful on pain reduction and prevention of muscle contraction, leading to satisfied rehabilitation, as wee as diminishing recurrence after operation.

As computer technology develops and this is applied to medical image field, three dimensional image reconstruction technology using computer simulation is utilized in various categories that include anatomical study and biomechanics study of human body. Especially orthopedic surgeons are able to investigate biomechanical function and be provided information for operations with this technology in terms of ligament reconstruction of knee. And this technology can be utilized in preparing preoperative planning and instructions and training. This review is about three dimensional image reconstruction technology which is utilized in ligament reconstruction of knee.

In this study, the velocity characteristics of liquid elements formed by two impinging jets is analysed using double pulse image capturing technique. For the droplets formed by low speed impinging jets, the droplet velocities are higher with smaller azimuthal and impingement angle. The maximum droplet velocities are about 25 % lower than jet velocity. With an increase of azimuthal angle, the shedding angles increases but remains lower than azimuthal angle. The velocities of ligaments formed by high speed impinging jets gradually decreases with an increase of azimuthal angle. The maximum ligament velocities are about 40 % lower than jet velocity. Higher impingement angles produce lower ligament velocities. The shedding angles of ligament almost increases with the same value of azimuthal angle, which implies that the moving direction of ligaments is radial from the origin as the impingement point.

We performed lateral ankle ligament reconstructions using Achilles allograft on patients who had failed previous Brostrom repair. The bone plug is fixed with an interference screw into the calcaneus, the tendon graft is passed through a fibular tunnel, and then anchored into the talus with the biotenodesis screw. The graft is strong enough to maintain joint stability until graft incorporation and remodeling occurs. In patients with chronic failed lateral ankle instability requiring graft for ligament reconstruction, this technique allows anatomic reconstruction without the need to sacrifice autogenous peroneal tendons.

This paper studied the influences of the main design parameter-the expansion angle and the material properties of the self-expansion anterior cruciate ligament fixation device on the contact condition with the bone and the initial stability of the device. Using finite element analysis, the stress distributions of the ring part of the device and the wall of the bone tunnel were calculated. And the micro-migration of the device by the pull-out force was calculated. From the analysis results, it was found that when designing the self-expansion type anterior cruciate ligament fixation device, it is desirable to use the material having higher Young's modulus and to design the fixation device that all wedges uniformly maintain contact with bone to obtain initial stability after operation.
