We have studied the results of reconstruction by freeze-dried patellar allografts or patellar autografts in ACL-deficient patients prospectively. From January 1995 to December 1995, we performed ACL reconstruction using an arthroscopic-assisted technique with patellar autografts in 21 patients and patellar allografts in 13 patients. Minimum followup time was 1 year(average 26 months). All patients were evaluated by using KT-2000 arthrometer and MRI as well as by physical examination. Final results were rated as satisfactory or unsatisfactory by using a modified Feagin knee scoring scale. Good or excellent were considered to have satisfactory results and fair or poor were considered to have unsatisfactory results. As measured by the KT-2000, 19 cases$(90.5\%)$ had a 5-mm or Jess side-to-side differential, a satisfactory results in autograft group, 2 cases of unsatisfactory results had joint instability. In allograft group, 10 cases$(76.9\%)$ had a 5-mm or less side-to-side differential, a satisfactory results, 3 cases of unsatisfactory results had joint instability including postoperative infection(1 case). In conclusion, the results of ACL reconstruction with autografts were better than those with allografts. The problem of allograft reconstruction were rehydration, aseptic control and improper mechanical tensioning. So, we thought that success of allograft reconstruction was depended on careful implant preparation including pretensioning technique.

Bone graft had been investigated previously to restore bone defects in orthopedics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy on new bone formation in bone autografts by treatment of implants. Cortical bone autografts were transplanted to midshaft of diaphyseal fibulae of 9 rabbits which were divided in 3 groups according to the treatment method of implants. Cortical bone implants for graft were treated with 3 different methods; freezing, freeze-drying, defat-freezing. Autografts were achieved by cross-transplantation method to bilateral fibulae of the presented rabbits after implant treatment procedures. The grafted regions of fibulae of all groups had been radiographed biweekly for 16 weeks to observe new bone formation and union between donor and recipient bone in the grafted region. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) in all groups was evaluated biweekly till the end of the experiment to determine osteoblast activities. Unions of the experimental grafted regions were observed at 83% (5 of 6 cases) of freezing, 17% (1 of 6 cases) of freeze-drying and 67% (4 of 6 cases) of defat-freezing autografts, respectively. BALP was increased over 100% after 2 weeks of graft procedures in all union cases (all cases in freezing group and in defat-freezing group, and 1 of 3 in freeze-drying group, respectively), then gradually decreased from 4 th week of graft to 16 th week. In non-union cases, there is no significant variation in BALP value until the end of experiment. It is speculated that defat-freezing method of treatments of implants is more safe to preserve the osteogenic ability in autograft than freeze-drying method.

목적 : 자가 골-슬개건-골 이식건과 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건의 효능을 주관적 및 객관적 기준을 이용하여 비교 조사하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1993년 3월부터 1996년 6월까지 18례의 자가 골-슬개건-골 이식건과 24례의 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용하여 한 명의 술자가 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행하고, 술 후 2년 이상 추시 되어진 두 그룹에서 증상, 이학적 검사 및 Telos stress arthrometer를 이용하여 비교하였다. 결과 : Modified Feagin Scoring System을 이용한 2년 이상 추시 만족도는 자가 건 이식 그룹과 동종건 이식 그룹이 각각 $88.9\%$와 $87.5\%$를 보였으며, Tegner activity score, 추시상 장력 검사, 관절 운동 범위, 대퇴 사두근부의 둘레 비교 등에는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 슬개-대퇴부 동통, 탄발음 및 이완 등의 슬개 대퇴부의 문제는 동종건 이식 그룹$(8.3\%)$보다 자가 건 이식 그룹$(33.3\%)$에서 더 많이 발생되어 통계학적으로 의미있는 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론 : 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용시에 슬개-대퇴부 동통 및 탄발음 등이 현저하게 적은 빈도를 보였으므로, 자가 이식건의 대용으로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The giant-cell tumor is uncommon. It occurs in the long bones and vertebral localization is much less common, particularly in thoracic spine. We present a case of a 37-year-old man suffering from severe back pain. Affected vertebral bodies were removed by transthoracic approach and the spine was reconstructed with iliac bone autografts and internal fixation device(Kaneda) between T 8 and T 11. Histologoical diagnosis was giant-cell tumor, and pertinent literature was reviewed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to document the surgical methods used in infants with aplasia cutis congenita treated with allogenic dermal matrix and cultured epithelial autografts. Methods: The large defects in both lower legs were replaced with allogenic dermal matrix to avoid the postoperative hypertrophic scar contracture and a full-thickness skin biopsy was taken from right groin area simultaneously. We sent the specimen to a commercial laboratory for culture and obtained cultured epithelial autografts($Holoderm^{(R)}$) after 2 weeks, placed it over the allogenic dermal matrix. Results: The skin-defected area were nearly epithelialized after 2 weeks and there were no significant problem on during 6 months follow-up. Conclusion: The surgical method using allogenic dermal matrix and cultured epithelial autograft provided an excellent coverage of large skin defects of infant with aplasia cutis congenita.

Purpura fulminans is a serious condition that can result in severe morbidity in the pediatric population. Although autologous skin grafts remain the gold standard for the coverage of partial- to full-thickness wounds, they have several limitations in pediatric patients, including the lack of planar donor sites, the risk of hemodynamic instability, and the limited graft thickness. In Singapore, an in-house skin culture laboratory has been available since 2005 for the use of cultured epithelial autografts (CEAs), especially in burn wounds. However, due to the fragility of CEAs, negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) dressings have been rarely used with CEAs. With several modifications, we report a successful case of NPWT applied over a CEA in an infant who sustained 30% total body surface area full-thickness wounds over the anterior abdomen, flank, and upper thigh secondary to purpura fulminans. We also describe the advantages of using NPWT dressing over a CEA, particularly in pediatric patients.

성공적인 전방십자인대 재건술을 얻기 위해 수술 전 계획, 수술수기, 수술 후 재활 등 여러 가지 요소가 관여한다. 그리고 좋은 결과를 얻기 위해서 수술 중 이식건의 선택, 고정, 처리 방법, 성숙, 본체골에 병합, 장력 등을 고려해야 한다. 이식건을 선택할 때 이식건의 강도, 이식건의 고정방법, 고정부위 치유, 공유 부위 이환, 이식건의 표면적 크기 등을 고려해야 한다. 이식건에는 자가건과 동종건의 두 가지가 있다. 자가 슬개건, 슬괵건, 대퇴사두건 등 사용할 수 있는 자가건은 여러 가지가 있으며 각각의 장·단점을 가지고 있다. 최근 국내에서 동종건의 사용빈도가 높아지고 있는데 공여부의 이환이 없고, 수술 시간이 짧고, 수술 후 통증이 적고, 재료가 다양한 장점이 있다. 하지만 동종건이 자가건보다 장기간 추적 결과가 더 좋다는 보고는 없다. 동종건은 골과의 합병이 오래 걸리고, 불완전하며, 인대 재형성이 늦고, 생역학적으로 자가건보다 강도가 낮으며, 면역반응의 위험성이 높고, 질병 전파의 가능성 등 원초적인 제한점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 장기간 결과에서 실패율이 높고 이식건의 성숙도가 자가건보다 좋지 않다. 그러므로 동종건은 자가건의 대용이 될 수 있지만 자가건을 사용할 수 없을 때, 여러 가지 인대 재건술이 필요한 경우를 제외하고 자가건을 사용하도록 하는 것이 좋다. 만약 적절한 크기와 굵기의 자가건을 얻을 수 있다면 자가건을 사용한 적절한 고정방법을 선택하고 수술 후 재활을 하면 동종건을 사용한 결과보다 우수한 결과를 얻을 것으로 생각된다.

Tissue regeneration is one of the ultimate goals of maxillofacial surgery and various types of tissue engineering technologies have been utilized in clinics. Healthy resources of host cells and growth factors are essential for the tissue engineering, therefore autologous blood-derived cell therapy was introduced. In this article, clinical applications of the autologous platelet concentrates and stem cell separation therapy will be summarized and evaluated for their efficacy and feasibility in the current maxillofacial clinics.

Autologous cartilage grafts have become an integral part of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. However, little objective information is available about the actual quantitative resorption of cartilage in human. This study sought to objectively quantify and compare the resorption of costal cartilage in human. To compare the resorption characteristics of rib cartilage autografts, we harvested rib cartilage grafts from 37 microtia patients. All autografts were implanted subcutaneously on chest and then removed after 6 to 17 months. Graft mass and volume were compared before and after implantion. Rib cartilage grafts with perichondrium averaged $10.8{\pm}7.4%$ resorption by volume, On the other hand rib cartilage grafts without perichondrium $25.5{\pm}6.8%$. There was no evidence of necrosis or inflammatory changes. The rib cartilage is the preferred source of autogenous cartilage for auricular reconstruction. Short-term resorption of rib cartilage without perichondrium appears to be higher than with perichondrium. The low resorption of cartilage with perichondrium may be due to in part to cartilage forming capacity of the perichondrium. It remains to be seen whether these differences in resorption persist in the long term.
