A hemiarthroplasty with biologic resurfacing of the glenoid is one procedure that can be performed in young patients where total shoulder arthroplasty may be difficult. The authors introduced two cases in which this procedure was performed. This approach is one treatment option for young glenoid humeral arthritis patients that addresses some of the shortcomings of an isolated hemiarthroplasty.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by ganglion as space occupying lesion is unusual and known that excellent result can be expected from surgical treatment carried out soon after onset of the condition. The object of the current study is to report our experience of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by ganglion of flexor digitorum longus tendon sheath treated with operative management in a 39 year-old man with a review of the literature.

Freiberg disease is a osteochondrosis of the lesser metatarsal heads. Various surgical treatment have been recommanded including joint debridement and metatarsal head reshaping, metatarsal dorsal wedge osteotomy, metatarsal head excision and joint arthroplasty. Autogenous osteochondral graft for the treatment of Freiberg disease is an effective restorative procedure that provides early range of motion exercise, weight bearing, and reduces other morbidity. We report a case of late stage Freiberg disease treated with arthrotomy, removal of loose body and autogenous osteochondral graft.

An intra-articular osteoid osteoma is a very rare cause of elbow pain, and its diagnosis and treatment remain challenging. Delayed diagnosis may lead to arthritic change of the joint. In this study, the authors present the occurrence of intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the right elbow of a 15-year-old male patient who presented with prolonged pain and limited motion owing to delayed diagnosis. After confirming the nidus of osteoid osteoma from radiographic evaluation, the lesion was completely removed arthroscopically. The patient presented a complete relief of symptoms and full range of motion. This is the first domestic report of successful arthroscopic treatment of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the elbow.

Pyogenic arthritis of the shoulder is very rare disease in infant. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are very important prognostic factors. We treated a 10-month-old infant who was suffering pyogenic arthritis of the shoulder by arthroscopic irrigation and synovectomy with direct inspection. Finally, satisfactory result was achieved without any major scar or complications.

The 4th and 5th metatarsocuboid joint arthritis causes moderate functional deficit during walking. It is difficult to obtain good results with conservative treatment. The arthrodesis of the affected joints can be a possible surgical option, but with a limited success. We report two cases of the 4th and 5th metatarsocuboid joint arthritis managed with anchovy tendon interposition arthroplaty.

Achilles tendon rupture is thought to be increasing with participation in sports activities. Both operative and non-operative treatments of Achilles tendon rupture include a period of immobilization. Complications following treatment of the Achilles tendon rupture include recurrence of rupture, flexor weakness, infection, and wound problems. However, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after operative treatment of the Achilles tendon has not been reported. We report on a case of DVT after Achilles tendon repair.

Stress fractures of the acromion and scapular spine are well-known complications following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, these fractures in patients with massive rotator cuff tear or cuff tear arthropathy are extremely rare, and the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of these fractures are poorly understood. We report a case of bilateral stress fracture of the posterior angle of the acromion in a patient with massive rotator cuff tear and discuss the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and treatment with a review of the literature.

Intramuscular lipomas are benign adipose tumors of the soft tissues that may resemble liposarcomas because of their size, deep location, and occasionally infiltrative growth. An awareness of their existence is fundamental to treating them correctly, and their differential diagnosis from liposarcoma is essential. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful diagnostic tool to differentiate benign adipose tumors from liposarcoma. Marginal excision and biopsy are required for the definite diagnosis and the treatment of symptomatic intramuscular lipomas. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report in South Korea regarding the treatment of an intramuscular giant lipoma of the ankle.

Simple clavicle fractures can achieve satisfactory results through conservative treatment, and the less frequency of nonunion. Non-union or malunion can occur in displaced clavicle fractures or comminuted shaft fractures. Treatment of displaced comminuted clavicle shaft fractures is performed by holding together the free fragments with interfragmentary screws or wires and fixing them to the clavicle with a plate. Therefore, we performed interfragmentary fixation using open reduction and internal fixation with bioresorbable screws (Mg-Ca alloy, Resomet bioresorbable bone screw; U&I Corp.) and bioresorbable wires (Mg-Ca alloy, Resomet bioresorbable K-wire and pin, U&I Corp.) for displaced comminuted clavicle fractures (Robinson type 2B) and additionally used a metal plate. We expected decreased irritation and infection due to absorption after surgery. We report four cases that were treated in this way.
