Purpose: Currently, using perforator artery flaps especially anterolateral thigh flaps are widely used for reconstruction of extremities, head and neck. Obtaining a precise anatomical picture prior to operation will translate to a more accurate, efficient and safe procedure. Authors used 3D-image work up via 64-slice MDCT to make a more precise preoperative plan. Methods: A total of 10 patients underwent soft tissue reconstruction with anterolateral thigh flap from December 2006 to December 2007. The 64-Channel MDCT (LightSpeed VCT, GE, USA) was used and 3D images were reconstructed. Findings from MDCT were applied to the preoperative planning and confirmed with intraoperative findings. Results: The average number of perforator arteries from lateral circumflex femoral artery was 2. The average lengths of vascular pedicle from the origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery to the first and second perforator artery were 11.0 cm and 20.0 cm, respectively. The average diameter of the pedicle artery was 2.2 mm. The locations of the perforator arteries were mapped and localized on the body surface based on the MDCT result. These were confirmed through direct visualization intraoperatively. Conclusion: MDCT has an advantage of obtaining accurate images of the general anatomy and even fine structures like perforator arteries. By using this state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging technique, it is now possible to make an operative plan safely and easily.

서론: 대퇴골 근위부에 발생하는 종양은 양성일지라도 수술적 병변의 제거시 관절내 도달이 필요하거나 대퇴골 경부에 손상을 줄 수 있는 등 주위 고관절의 구조 및 기능을 위협할 수 있어 그 예후가 좋지 않을 수 있고 치료에 어려움이 있으나 고관절부의 동통을 유발하는 양성 골종양의 치료는 비관혈적 수술이 현재로는 거의 불가능하다. 최근 CT등을 이용한 경피적 절제술, 경피적 고주파 열치료등 비교적 덜 침습적인 치료법에 대한 관심과 연구가 증가하고 있으나, 아직까지는 대퇴골 근위부 종양중 비교적 흔한 유골골종(osteoid osteoma)에 국한된 연구가 대부분이다. 이에 저자는 대퇴골두내 발생한 내연골종 및 피질골내 연골종을 경피적 고주파 열치료를 통해 치료한 후 이를 보고하는 바이다. 증례: -증례1 - 31세 여자환자로 1년 전부터 시작된 우측 둔부 및 서혜부 외측의 통증을 주소로 내원하였다. 사무직 여성으로 과거력 및 가족력 상 특이 소견 없었으며 통증의 양상은 간헐적으로 야간에 심해지는 양상으로 통증 발현 시에는 체중 부하하기 힘든 정도였다. 통증에 대해 수개월간 대증적 치료를 시행하였으나 수일에서 수주 후 재발되는 양상이었으며 비스테로이드성 소염 진통제에 비교적 효과가 있었으나 내원 시에는 증상이 점차 심해지며 지속적인 양상으로 소염진통제가 계속적으로 필요하였다. 이학적 소견상 우측 고관절의 운동제한은 없었으나 Patrick 검사 양성이었으며 내회전시 불쾌감을 호소하였다. 단순 방사선 검사상 우측 대퇴 골두 부위에 주변으로 경화상을 보이는 방사선 투과성 병변이 관찰되었으며, MRI상 T1WI와 T2WI에서 낮은 신호강도를 보이면서 1.5${\times}$1cm 크기로 경계가 비교적 분명하였고 주변에 반응성 부종이 관찰되어. 유골골종의 가능성이 큰 것으로 보아 고주파열치료를 시행하기로 하였으며 전신마취하에서 먼저 CT시행 하에 세침 생검을 실시한 후 Radionics$^{(R)}$ 고주파침을 삽입하여 병변 중앙에 위치시킨 후 $80^{\circ}C$ 평균모드으로 6분간 고주파 열 치료 시행하였으며 시행 중 다른 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 환자는 마취에서 의식이 돌아온 직후와 술 후 14시간 후에 통증 전혀 호소하지 않았으며 술후 1일째 체중 부하시 통증 없는 것 확인 후 퇴원 조치 하였으며 술 후 3주 뒤 MRI로 병변 부위 관찰하였으며, 이때 병변부위 소실된 것 확인할 수 있었다. 술 후 15개월째 환자는 일상 생활에 지장없었으며 통증 호소하지 않았다. 조직 검사결과는 피질골내 연골종으로 확인되었다. -증례 2- 56세 여자환자로 3개월 전부터 시작된 좌측 둔부 및 대퇴부 외측의 통증을 주소로 내원하였다. 통증은 주로 밤에 악화되었으며 1달 전부터 통증 심해지고 지속되는 양상으로 타 병원에서 아스피린으로 통증 조절되었고 유골 골종 의심 하에 본원으로 전원되었다. 과거력이나 가족력상 특이사항 없었으며 이학적 검사상 고관절 운동 범위 제한은 없었으나 외전과 내회전시 좌측 서혜부에 통증을 호소하였다. 단순 방사선 소견상 좌측 대퇴골두 하방 내측으로 석회화를 동반하고 주변 경화상을 보이는 방사선 투과성 병변이 관찰되었으며 MRI상 T1WI와 T2WI에서 비교적 낮은 신호강도를 보이는 양상으로, 유골골종의 가능성이 높은 것으로 보아 고주파 열치료를 시행하기로 하였으며 전신 마취 후 CT시행 하에 먼저 세침 조직 검사를 실시한 후 Radionics$^{(R)}$ 고주파침 삽입 후에 평균 모드 $80^{\circ}C$로 6분간 열 치료 시행하였고 환자는 마취에서 회복 후 즉시 통증 감소 보였으며 시술 후 1일째 이학적 검사 및 체중 부하 시행하였을 때 통증이 없는 것을 확인한 후 퇴원 조치 할 수 있었으며 술 후 1달째 MRI검사를 통해 병변이 사라지고 성공적으로 시술을 시행하였음을 확인할 수 있었으며 이후 시술 3개월째로 통증호소없었고 이학적소견상 정상이었다. 조직검사결과는 내연골종으로 확인되었다. 결론: 저자들은 수술적으로 치료가 비교적 어려운 대퇴 골두 부위에 발생한 피질골내 연골종과 내연골종에 대해 경피적 고주파열치료를 시행한 후 이를 보고하는 바이며 동통을 유발하는 유골 골종 이외의 다른 양성골 종양에 대해 치료 계획시 그 도달이 어렵거나 술 후 주위 구조물과 관절의 불안정성등의 합병증이 유발될 수 있는 경우 그 적응증의 확대를 신중히 고려해야 할 것이다.

Malignant tumors of the head and neck frequently require treatment with both radiotherapy and surgery. Reconstruction of the defect in previously irradiated field is a challenge to surgeon, who must produce both a functional and an esthetic result. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBO) has been used in an attempt to reduce the deleterious effects of radiation. But the issue of whether prior irradiation and HBO of the recipient site of a free flap affects the result of reconstruction continues to generate controversy. So, the effects of irradiation and hypergbaric oxygen therapy on microvascular anastomosis was evaluated in an experimental study in femoral vessels of rats. The experimental groups were divided into 3 groups, contorol group, irradiation group, and irradiation and HBO group. Preoperative irradiation was delivered in the left groin field with single dose corresponding 2,000cGy and total 48 hours of HBO was given 100% oxygen at 2.4 atmosphere for 4 weeks. The femoral vessels of 60 rats were anastomosed after irradiation and HBO treatment. Three days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery, the femoral vessels were evaluated for patency and histopathologic changes. There was no notable effect of irradiation on patency of femoral vessels in rats and the radiation effects were obvious on histological examination which showed the sloughing of the endothelial cells, subintimal hyperplasia and fibrosis on the media and adventitia of femoral arteries. The histologic changes of the femoral veins were mild and not typical. But the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy after irradiation was seen not marked difference in irradiation group.

The modern orthopaedics frequently uses the total hip replacement in the artificial hip joint. The wear in this joint requires the re-replacement of the hip joint beacuse it is under the severe load and friction conditions. To solve these problems the previous studies have been mainly focused on the development of the new materials. The research of new material, however, needs much time and effort since it should be experimented for its bio-compatibility, friction, and wear characteristics. To reduce the work, in this study, the finite element analysis is applied to find the new combination of the materials in the total hip replacement which has the excellent contact characteristics. The finite element uses MARC and the 5-node aximetric element. The results show that in case of acetabulum UHMWP has good characteristics, in femoral head, the $Al_2O_3$, and in stem, Ti6Al4V.

Progress in medical science and cell biology has resulted in the transplantation of human cells and tissues from on human into another, facilitating reproduction and the restoration of form and function, as well as enhancing the quality of life. For more than 40 years, society has recognized the medical and humanitarian value of donation and transplanting organs and tissues. The standard operating procedures of hard tissues reflect the collective expertise and conscientious efforts of tissue bank professionals to provide a foundation for the guidance of tissue banking activities. Procurement of allograft tissues from surgical bone donors is a part of tissue banking. During the past decades the use of bone allografts has become widely accepted for the filling of skelectal defects in a variety of surgical procedures. In particular in the field of orthopaedic and oral and maxillofacial surgery the demand for allografts obtained from either living or post-mortem donors has increased. Hospital-based tissue banks mainly retrieve allografts from living donors undergoing primary total hip replacement for osteoarthritis or hemi arthroplasty for hip fractures and orthgnatic surgery such as angle reduction. Although bone banks have existed for many years, the elements of organized and maintaining a hospital bone bank have not been well documented. The experience with a tissue bank at Korea Tissue Bank(KTB) between 2001 and 2004 provides a model of procurement, storage, processing, sterilization and documentation associated with such a facility. The following report describes the standard operating procedures of hard tissues such as femoral head obtained from living donors.

A Maltese (case 1) and a Pomeranian (case 2) presented with acute right and left hind limb weight-bearing lameness. On physical examination, they exhibited severe pain and crepitus on the coxofemoral joint of affected hind limb. In addition, decreased thigh girth measurements were noted compared with the opposite leg. Radiological exam revealed necrotic areas in the femoral head of affected hind limb. These dogs were diagnosed with Legg-$Calv{\acute{e}}$-Perthes disease (LCPD). The dogs underwent micro total hip replacement (THR). After surgery, at 3 years (case 1) and 7 months (case 2), both dogs recovered normal activity. The thigh girth and lameness scores were apparently improved in the affected limbs of both dogs. No complications of prosthesis implants, such as loosening, were noted. The clinical outcomes of these cases indicate that dogs with LCPD can be successfully treated with micro THR and have a good prognosis immediately after surgery.

Objectives: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused by a circulatory disorder. If symptoms are not present, the patient's progress is observed, but if symptoms are present, non-surgical methods or total hip replacement are performed. Several case reports have described the effects of Korean Medicine treatment on ONFH, but the number of cases is still small, and few studies have used blood stasis-based herbal medicines like Hwaeo-jeon (HEJ). This study reports the effectiveness of Korean Medicine treatments, including HEJ, on a case of ONFH. Methods: A patient diagnosed with ONFH by CT and MRI was treated with Korean Medicine treatments consisting of herbal medicine including HEJ, bee venom pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, cupping, and physical therapy. The improvement of pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Inflammation levels were determined by blood tests conducted during hospitalization. Results: Korean Medicine treatment, including herbal medicine, resulted in good clinical improvement responses, including reduced pain, improved mobility, and reduced inflammatory levels in the blood tests. Conclusions: Korean Medicine treatments, including HEJ, may be effective for ONFH patients. Further studies are needed to determine the recovery of osteonecrosis and the improvement of post-operative aftereffects using Korean Medicine treatments, as well as the reduction of pre-operative pain.

This purpose of this study was to describe and compare the radiographic and computed tomographic(CT) appearance of the experimentally induced Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease(LCPD) in dogs. LCPD was experimentally induced at the left femoral head in 7 litters of a dog. The lesions were evaluated with radiography, CT, and contrast CT every week from day 7 to day 70 after operation. Histopathologic examination was performed on 92th day after operation. Every images were evaluated according to the staging system of the osteonecrosis published by Association Research of Circulation Osseous in 1997 and the scoring(0-4). On CT scan, diffuse porotic lesion and focal sclerotic lesion were detected on day 14 and on day 21 after operation, respectively. Subchondral fracture, articular collapse and crescent sign with decreased attenuation were shown on day 28 after operation for the first time and no change of the sign were detected from operation day 9 to day 70 after operation. Focal porotic lesion and irregular radiopacity of femoral head were detected on day $41{\pm}7.48$ and on day $51{\pm}5.29$ after operation respectively on radiographs. In scoring evaluation, 2.00 was scored on day 14 after operation on CT scan, on day 56 after operation on radiographs, respectively This study has shown that CT is more suitable for early diagnosis of LCPB and has superior sensitivity than radiography. Also, CT has been expected to be important for staging and treatment of LCPD.
