The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the ashed tooth powder is utilized as an alternative material of the implant. For this purpose the author performed the experimental study to investigate the tissue response of sintered toothash and its histocompatibility. Bony defects to expose the body of marrow, $1{\times}1cm$ in size, were created in the right and left mandibular body of mature dog, and then the ashed tooth powders were filled in right side and the blood clot was filled in the left side as an control. The dogs were sacrificed at 4th, 7th, and 16th week after implantation and histologic examination was performed. The results of this study were obtained as follows : 1. Any inflammatory response was not noted after implanting of the ashed tooth powder during the whole experimental period. 2. At 4th week, ashed tooth powders were surrounded by mature connective tissue. And we could observe hydroxyapatite crystal structure within the ashed tooth powder. 3. At 7th week, we could observe that macrophage phagocyted the small granules of ashed tooth powders. 4. At 16th week, the union with host bone by growth of new trabeculae was observed. And there were remnants of ashed tooth power within some of new trabeculae.
A 13-month-old, 3.3 kg castrated male Shih-tzu presented with right hindlimb lameness. The physical examination revealed atrophy of the right thigh muscles, hyperextension of the stifle joint and external torsion of the tibia. On the radiographic examination, patella alta and genu recurvatum were observed. A biapical deformity of the tibia and external torsion of the distal tibia were detected by computed tomography (CT). A three-dimensional (3D) printed bone model was designed and constructed for the preoperative plan prior to surgery. Rectus femoris muscle transposition, femoral shortening ostectomy and open wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia were performed using hybrid external skele/t0al fixation (hybrid-ESF). A dynamic stifle flexion apparatus was used to prevent recurrence of a quadriceps contracture (QC). Intense physiotherapy was administered postoperatively. The dog began to use the affected limb one week after surgery. Functional improvement in the affected limb was observed, and full weight-bearing was possible at 3 months after surgery. Union of the osteotomy lines was observed at 3 months, and the stifle joint was fully movable at 7 months after surgery. Regarding the treatments for QC, these methods may be excellent candidates, as they do not lead to severe damage to the limb or amputation.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus (HV) deformity in elderly patient with osteoporosis. Materials and Methods: A total of 58 elderly patients (mean age, 72.6 years) underwent scarf osteotomy for HV deformity between 2008 and 2015. The mean follow-up period was 24.4 months. Of the 58 patients, 42 were diagnosed with osteoporosis and 16 were diagnosed as normal. The radiological and clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively, postoperatively, and at final follow-up, including HV angle, intermetatarsal (IM) angle, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, patient satisfaction, visual analogue scale (VAS), and complication. Results: There was no significant difference in HV angle and IM angle between the osteoporosis group and normal bone mineral densitometry group at all time points, preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to the AOFAS score and VAS evaluations. In the osteoporosis group, the mean HV angle improved from $36.7^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $11.3^{\circ}$ at the time of final follow-up, and the mean IM angle improved from $13.2^{\circ}$ to $5.7^{\circ}$. The mean AOFAS score improved from 52.6 preoperatively to 89.1 at the time of final follow-up. With respect to satisfaction, 83.4% of patients were very satisfied or satisfied. There were no serious complications, and all cases showed complete union at the osteotomy site. Conclusion: We believed that scarf osteotomy is a safe, effective procedure for the correction of elderly patients with osteoporosis.
A variety of surgical approach for ankle and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis has been described. We used a transfibular approach between the sural nerve and lateral branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. This permits excellent visualization of the ankle and subtalar joint so that the fusion can readily be achieved under the direct visualization. Eight ankle fusions and four tibiotalocalcaneal fusions were carried out through a transfibular approach and reviewed. The resected fibula was utilized for bone graft. The follow up period was from 12 to 22 months. Ages of the patients ranged from 27 to 58 years. The postoperative regimen was six weeks nonweight bearing in a short leg cast, followed by weight bearing in a short leg cast until union occurred. All cases were fused except one who had preoperative pyogenic arthritis of the ankle and hindfoot. The results were as follows; 1. The chance of incisional neuroma is lessened through incision between the sural nerve and superficial peroneal nerve. 2. The possibility of a skin slough is reduced by using full thickness skin flaps. 3. Excellent visualization of the ankle and subtalar joint is easily achieved. So, we believed that the transfibular approach for ankle and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis is the excellent surgical approach.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the implication of third molars in postoperative complications of mandibular angle fracture with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Materials and Methods: Data were collected on patients who presented with mandibular angle fracture at our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between January 2011 and December 2015. Of the 63 total patients who underwent ORIF and perioperative intermaxillary fixation (IMF) with an arch bar, 49 patients were identified as having third molars in the fracture line and were followed up with until plate removal. The complications of postoperative infection, postoperative nerve injury, bone healing, and changes in occlusion and temporomandibular joint were evaluated and analyzed using statistical methods. Results: In total, 49 patients had third molars in the fracture line and underwent ORIF surgery and perioperative IMF with an arch bar. The third molar in the fracture line was retained during ORIF in 39 patients. Several patients complained of nerve injury, temporomandibular disorder (TMD), change of occlusion, and postoperative infection around the retained third molar. The third molars were removed during ORIF surgery in 10 patients. Some of these patients complained of nerve injury, but no other complications, such as TMD, change in occlusion, or postoperative infection, were observed. There was no delayed union or nonunion in either of the groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the non-extraction group and the retained teeth group regarding complications after ORIF. Conclusion: If the third molar is partially impacted or completely nonfunctional, likely to be involved in pathologic conditions later in life, or possible to remove with the plate simultaneously, extraction of the third molar in the fracture line should be considered during ORIF surgery of the mandible angle fracture.
Purpose : Treatment of giant cell tumor of distal radius can be treated in several ways according to the agressiveness of the tumor. We treated 3 cases of widely involved giant cell tumor of distal radius with wide resection and proximal fibular graft and report the results with review of literatures. Material and Method : We have treated 3 cases of giant cell tumor of the distal radius since last 1990. Among 3 cases, two cases were grade III radiologically and treated by wide resection of distal radius and vascularized proximal fibular graft, and one case, grade II radiologically, treated by distal radial resection and non-vascularized proximal fibular graft. We followed up clinical results of above three cases 9 years, 12 years and 2 years. Result : In all three cases, tranplanted fibula graft showed solid union but grade III tumors recurred at 4 year and 6 year postoperatively. One of the case which recurred 4 year later was treated with secondary wide resection and wrist fusion with autogenous iliac bone graft, and didn't show any recurrent finding for these 5 years after re-operation. And another grade III, which recurred at 6th post-operative year, is under follow-up for 6 years after recur without 2nd operation. Grade II case didn't show any recurrent findings on 2 year follow-up. Conclusion : Grade III cases recurred at 4 year and 6 year follow-up. The cause of recurrence was thought to be invasion of remaining tumor cell in the soft tissue. To prevent recurrence, complete resection of primary tumor was necessary.
Objective : The safety of titanium metal cages in tuberculous spondylitis has not been investigated. We evaluated the outcome and complications of titanium mesh cages for reconstruction after thoracolumbar vertebrectomy in the tuberculous spondylitis. Methods : There were 17 patients with 18 operations on the tuberculous spondylitis in this study. Sixteen patients were operated with anterior corpectomy and reconstruction with titanium mesh cage followed by posterior transpedicular screw fixations on same day, two pateints were operated by either anterior or posterior approach only. After the affected vertebral body resection and pus drainage from the psoas muscle, titanium mesh cage, filled with morselized autogenous bone, was inserted. All the patients had antituberculosis medication for 18 months. The degree of kyphosis correction and the subsidence of cage were measured in the 15 patients available at a minimum of 2 years. Outcome was assessed with various cross-sectional outcome measures. Recurrent infection was identified by serial ESR[Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate] and CRP[Cross Reactive Protein]. Results : There was no complication from the use of a titanium mesh cage. Recurrent infection was not detected in any case. Average preoperative of $9.2^{\circ}$ was reduced to $-2^{\circ}$ at immediate postoperative period, and on final follow up period kyphotic angle was measured to be $4.5^{\circ}$. Postoperatively, subsidence was detected in most patients especially at ambulation period, however further subsidence was prevented by the titanium mesh cage. Osseous union was identified in all cases at the final follow-up. Conclusion : The cylindrical mesh cage is a successful instrument in restoring and maintaining sagittal plane alignment without infection recurrence after vertebrectomy for tuberculous spondylitis.
Objective : The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of the posterior C1-2 transarticular screw fixation without C1-2 sublaminar wiring in atlantoaxial instability. Methods : Between Apr. 1995 and Feb. 2000, we used this technique in treat randomly selected 17 patients (11 men, 6 women) who had atlantoaxial instability. The causes of instability were : type II-A odontoid process fracture(10 cases) ; type II-P odontoid process fracture(1 case) ; Os odontoideum(2 cases) ; transverse ligament laxity due to rheumatoid disease(1 case) ; and, transverse ligament injury without bone fracture(3 cases). All cases were operated with posterior C1-2 transarticular screw fixation with 3.5mm cortical screw and interlaminar iliac graft without sublaminar wire fixation. The mean follow-up period was 28 months(5 to 58 months) and the mean age at the time of operation was 41 years(15 to 68 years). All Patients were allowed to ambulate with Philadelphia neck collar on the first post-operation day. Results : Bony fusion was successfully achieved in all cases demonstrated at 3-month follow-up studies. There was no operative mortality or morbidity. Conclusion : The authors conclude that the posterior transarticular screw fixation without C1-2 sublaminar wiring provide adequate stability with high bony union rate in atlantoaxial instability of various causes.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of the two-stage operation for thoracic tuberculous spondylitis. Methods : Eleven patients [4 male, 7 female] with thoracic tuberculous spondylitis were treated with two-stage operation. First stage consisted of anterior debridement and interbody fusion using rib graft and second with posterior instrumentation with fusion. Mean age was 46 years, and mean follow-up period was 18 months. All patients were treated with 12 months of antituberculotic medication postoperatively, and evaluated before and after surgery with respect to pain level, neurological status, associated lesions, hematological parameters and change of kyphotic angle. Results : The associated lesions were pulmonary tuberculosis in 4 cases. There were no recurrences of infection and bone union was obtained within 6 months of the operation in all cases. Changes in the pain severity, neurological status, and hematological parameters demonstrated significant clinical improvement in all patients. The mean kyphotic angle was corrected from $17.8^{\circ}$ to $9.8^{\circ}$ after surgery. The most recent follow-up of the mean kyphotic angle was $12.3^{\circ}$, with a loss of correction of $2.5^{\circ}$. The preoperative VAS averaged to be 7.18 [range, 4-10]. It decreased significantly an average of 1.45 [p <0001]. Conclusion : These results indicate that two-stage surgical treatment for thoracic tuberculous spondylitis provid safe and satisfactory results. Spine instability and kyphosis can be also prevented by two-stage operation.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the data comprehensively including not only the clinical and radiographic outcomes but some parameters related to operation between the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique and intramedullary nailing (IMN) for treatment of segmental tibia shaft fractures. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 31 patients (mean age, 49.3 years, range, 27-74 years), with a mean follow-up of 14.1 months (range, 12-19 months) with acute segmental tibial fractures (AO 42-C2) who underwent either surgical treatment of MIPO or IMN. In accordance with the Gustilo-Anderson classification, 11 were type I, 5 were type II, and 15 were type III. Initial compartment syndrome was confirmed in 2 cases. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of the patient demographic data between the two groups. The time to definitive fixation was longer in the MIPO group (mean $13.7{\pm}10.9days$; range, 2-27) than in the intramedullary group (mean $5.4{\pm}9.6days$; range, 0-35) with statistically significant difference (p=0.002). Bony union was observed in most of cases but except 5 cases of nonunion were diagnosed (3 in the MIPO vs 2 in IMN, p=0.188). The average bone healing time was 27.1 weeks (10 to 56 weeks) in MIPO group and 23.2 weeks (13 to 66 weeks) in IMN group, respectively (p=0.056). Overall complications were 5 cases in MIPO group and 2 cases in the IMN group. Difference in LEFS was not statistically significant between both groups (p=0.824). Conclusion: This study showed that segmental tibia shaft fractures treated with both MIPO and intramadullary nailing was challenging with relatively high complication rate. A well planned sequential strategy with keeping the soft tissue and personality of fracture in mind is utmost significant as much as the choice of surgical modalities.
