Objective : To present the incidence and management of dural tears and cerebrospinal fluid leakage during corrective osteotomy [Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO) or Smith-Petersen Osteotomy (SPO)] for ankylosing spondylitis with kyphotic deformity. Methods : A retrospective study was performed for ankylosing spondylitis patients with fixed sagittal imbalance, who had undergone corrective osteotomy (PSO or SPO) at lumbar level. 87 patients were included in this study. 55 patients underwent PSO, 32 patients underwent SPO. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 41.7 years (21-70 years). Of the 87 patients, 15 patients had intraoperative dural tears. Results : The overall incidence of dural tears was 17.2%. The incidence of dural tears during PSO was 20.0%, SPO was 12.5%. There was significant difference in the incidence of dural tears based on surgical procedures ( PSO vs. SPO) (p<0.05). The dural tears ranged in size from 12 to $221mm^2$. A nine of 15 patients had the relatively small dural tears, underwent direct repair via watertight closure. The remaining 6 patients had the large dural tears, consequently direct repair was impossible. The large dural tears were repaired with an on-lay graft of muscle, fascia or fat harvested from the adjacent operation site. All patients had a successful repair with no patient requiring reoperation for the cerebrospinal fluid leak. Conclusion : The overall incidence of dural tears during PSO or SPO for ankylosing spondylitis with kyphotic deformity was 17.2%. The risk factor of dural tears was complexity of surgery. All dural tears were repaired primarily using direct suture, muscle, fascia or fat graft.

Purpose: Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy is one option for the treatment of symptomatic flexible flatfoot in adults. The aim of the study was to evaluate the short term clinical and radiologic results and analyze its complications. Materials and Methods: Twelve feet who had undergone calcaneal lengthening osteotomy without flexor digitorum longus transfer between December 2009 and July 2011 were included. The mean age was 40.6 years (23~75 years). The mean followup was 17.3 months (13~25 months). Clinical outcome were assessed using American Orthopadics Foot ans Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. Four radiologic parameters were measured from weightbearing radiographs to evaluate the difference between preoperatively and postoperatively measures. To analyze the complications, calcaneocuboid joint subluxation and degenerative change were measured postoperatively. Results: The mean AOFAS score improved from 55.3 points preoperatively to 82.2 points at lastest follow-up (p=0.000). The mean VAS improved from 6.3 points preoperatively to 3.2 points postoperatively (p=0.002).All radiologic parameters, the mean talonavicular coverage angle on AP view, the mean talo-1st metatarsal angle on AP and lateral view and the mean calcaneal pitch angle, significantly improved after calcaneal lengthening osteotomy. Nine feets (75%) were shown the degenerative change in the calcaneocuboid joint at latest follow-up radiographs. Conclusion: Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy for the symptomatic flexible flatfoot in adults produced significant improvement in clinical and radiologic parameters, but calcaneocuboid joint osteoarthritis occurred postoperatively remained a major problem.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to study bone changes after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy through fractal analysis and measurement of mandibular cortical thickness. Materials and Methods: This study included twenty-two prognathic patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Panoramic radiographs of these patients were taken immediately before operation and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. The fractal dimension was measured by the box-counting method in the region of interest centered on both the basal and interdental bones between the first and second mandibular molars. Measurements of mandibular cortical thickness were taken both in the area between the first and second mandibular molars and at the osteotomy site. Changes of fractal dimension and cortical thickness over four stages were statistically analyzed. Results: The fractal dimension of the mandibular basal bone before surgery and after 1 month, 6 months and 12 months were $1.4099{\pm}0.0657,\;1.382{\pm}0.0595,\;1.2995{\pm}0.0949,\;and\;1.4166{\pm}0.0676$, respectively (Repeated-measures ANOVA, P<0.001). However, no statistically significant differences were noted in interdental fractal dimensions among the four stages. Mandibular cortical thickness between the first and second mandibular molars before operation and after 1 month, 6 months and 12 months was $3.74{\pm}0.48mm,\;3.63{\pm}0.47mm,\;3.41{\pm}0.61mm\;and\;3.55{\pm}0.66mm$ (P<0.01), respectively. Mandibular cortical thickness at the osteotomy site at each of the four stages was $3.22{\pm}0.44mm,\;2.87{\pm}0.59mm,\;2.37{\pm}0.61mm\;and\;2.64{\pm}0.62mm$, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that the mandibular tissue continued decreasing for 6 months postoperatively and then increased over the subsequent 6 months.

Multiple segment osteotomy orthognathic surgery serves to combine the total or segmental maxillary and mandibular correction of the dentofacial deformities with concurrent procedures to provide immediate repositioning to the dento-osseous elements. In addition, splitting the palate may often be necessary to correct a functionally poor relationship of the maxilla to the mandible or the facial skeleton by realigning the maxillary arch. In this case, the discrepancy in a bimaxillary horizontal relationship and the space between the 2nd premolar and 2nd molar was retained after lengthy preoperative orthodontic treatment. However, we could correct these dento-osseous discrepancies immediately by performing midpalatal expansion, anterior segmental osteotomy and symphyseal osteotomy with bimaxillary osteotomies. If the blood supply to each segment segments was maintained and primary closure of the operation site was feasible, multiple segment osteotomy was considered as a very effective technique for treating dentofacial deformities in vertical, transverse, and sagittal dimensions with differential repositioning of all segments.

Introduction: Painful plantar callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads are not uncommonly associated with hallux valgus and there have been controversies concerning its treatment modalities. We performed the Weil osteotomy in patients with painful callosities under the second and third metatarsal head associated with hallux valgus, and evaluated the outcome clinically & radiologically. Materials and Methods: From November 2000 through November 2001, out of 51 patients diagnosed with hallux valgus, the Weil osteotomy was performed in 5 women associated with painful callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads. The mean age was 53.4 years (range, 31-66) with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months(range, 12-16). Results: The mean AOFAS lessor metatarso-phalangeal-interphalngeal Scale(LMIS) improved from 61.2 points preoperatively to 88.8 points postopertively. Mean decreases in length of the second and third metatarsal after surgery were 3.2mm and 3mm. Conclusion: We experienced improvement of metatarsalgia in 80% of patients by Weil osteotomy and all patients were symptom-free at last follow-up, suggesting that the Weil osteotomy is an effective procedure in treating painful plantar callosities under the second and third metatarsal heads associated with hallux valgus.

Hallux valgus has been characterized by a valgus deformity of the great toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint, along with medial deviation of the first metatarsal, and by three components. First, there is a valgus angle more than $20^{\circ}$ at the first, metatarsophalangeal joint. Second, there is a greater angle than $9^{\circ}$ between the first. and second metatarsals. Third, there is bursal hypertrophy at the medial eminence of the first metatarsals head. The etiology is multifactorial and many procedures have been reported in the treatment of hallux valgus. Most of the procedures are directed towards pain relief, correction of deformity, and preservation of dorsiflexion in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. One such treatment is the Modified chevron osteotomy. It is technically simple, and provides greater stability than a standard osteotomy, and allows early ambulation after surgery. We a reviewed 19 cases with 13 patients of hallux valgus deformity. They were all treated with the Modified chevron osteotomy at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Choong ang Gil Hospital, between June 1988 and May 1994. The results of the study were as follows; 1. The mean age was 36 years. Three patients(5 case) were male and ten patients(14 cases) were female. 2. The mean value of the hallux valgus angle was $34.1^{\circ}$, and the first to second intermetatarsal angle was $12.1^{\circ}$, preoperatively. These angles were corrected to $15.8^{\circ}$ and $8.5^{\circ}$, respectively. 3. The metatarsalgia subsided in 17 cases (89.5%). avascular necrosis, non union, and dorsal angulation complicatious were nonexistant. Early bone healing occurred in all cases. 4. The Modified chevron osteotomy is technically simple. It provides excellent pain relief, early ambulation, increased mechanical stability, and many avoids many complications such as AVN, non-union, and dorsal angulation.

Purpose: This study compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of simultaneous bilateral short scarf osteotomy with those of unilateral short scarf osteotomy in hallux valgus patients. Materials and Methods: The authors undertook a retrospective chart and radiographic review between January 2015 and June 2017 to identify 15 patients (30 cases, group A) who underwent a simultaneous bilateral short scarf osteotomy. The patients were matched with 30 patients (30 cases, group B) with a unilateral short scarf osteotomy. No significant preoperative differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age, gender, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux score, and radiographic parameters. The clinical and radiographic follow-up was carried out at three months and one year. Results: Hallux valgus angles in groups A and B were reduced from the mean preoperative values of 32.5° and 34.7° to 12.5° and 12.2° at 12 months, respectively. The first-second intermetatarsal angles in groups A and B were also reduced from the mean preoperative values of 14.2° and 16.5° to 7.4° and 7.3° at 12 months, respectively. No significant inter-group differences in radiographic outcomes were observed. After three months, the patients in group A reported significantly worse mean pain and functional scores than group B. The mean AOFAS hallux score was higher in group B at the three-month follow-up, but this difference disappeared at the one-year followup. Conclusion: Simultaneous bilateral surgery can be offered to patients with a hallux valgus deformity requiring correction. On the other hand, they should be informed of the long recovery period.

This study was conducted for the purpose of suggestion of the new technique of sagittal split ramus osteotomy pararell to the true sagittal plane. This pararellism is the important concept of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy to reduce the condylar sagging including mandibular hypomobility, temporomandibular disorder, occlusal relapse and other complications. We used 26 adult dry manibles(52 rami), and obtained the computed tomographs through the sagittal, horizontal and coronal sections. The results were obtained as follows. 1. On sagittal section, mean area of S1 was $8.63{\pm}2.10cm^2$, S2 was $8.93{\pm}1.94cm^2$, S3 was $9.49{\pm}2.15cm^2$, S6 was $10.72{\pm}2.22cm^2$. The wider area of sagittal section, the more lateral section, But, no significant differency between the areas of the sagittal sections(P>0.05). 2. On horizontal section, The distance between the inferior alveolar canal and the lateral cortical plate of the mandibular ramus were $6.73{\pm}1.24mm$ minum, $7.70{\pm}1.44mm$ maximum. 3. On coronal section, Outer mandibular angle were $4.84{\pm}2.37^{\circ}$ right side, $4.93{\pm}2.12^{\circ}$ left side. 4. The design of the ideal true sagittal split ramus osteotomy is that posterior border of osteotomy must be limited vertically, at the right posterior point of lingula mandibularis and anterior of osteotomy must be extended to mandibular body, anteroinferiorly.
