골 파괴를 동반한 외상 후 발생한 치골결합주위로의 골 용해는 원인이 정확히 밝혀지지는 않았으나 그 양상이 마치 악성 골 종양에 의한 골 파괴나 골수염에 의한 골 용해 소견으로 보여 진단의 어려움이 있다고 보고되고 있는 바, 저자들은 농양이나 종양이 아닌 단순 골 괴사에 의한 골 용해로 판명된 외상 후 발생한 치골결합주위의 골 용해 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

Intraosseous lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from proliferating mature lipocytes. It often occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremity, and also in the calcaneus, humerus, mandible, sacrum, and rib bones. Frequently, it involutes spontaneously through a process of infarction, calcification, and cyst formation. It can either present as pain, or be asymptomatic and only discovered through an incidental radiological finding. In our case, the patient presented with heel pain. Intraoperatively, it was found that the intraosseous cavity was filled with fat along with an adjacent but separate area of cystic degeneration. There was also a cortical perforation at the cystic lesion which was communicating with the subtalar joint. This cortical breach is most likely the cause of diffuse lateral heel pain experienced by our patient, and such a pathological fracture due to intraosseous lipoma has never been reported.

안와 내에서 안구의 상대적 위치는 여러 병적인 상태를 짐작할 수 있는 하나의 기준이 될 수 있다. 특히 안와골절, 갑상선 안질환, 안와 종양 등의 진단과 이에 약물 및 수술적 치료의 결과를 판단하는데 유용하다. 현재 안구 돌출값을 측정하기 위해 주로 사용되는 대표적 측정 기기인 Hertel 안구돌출계와 Naugle 안구돌출계 등은 측정자에 의한 오차가 필연적이다. 본 논문에서는 안구 돌출값의 측정을 3차원 영상 측정기술인 백색광 간섭계를 이용하여 검사 정밀도 및 반복정도를 크게 올릴 수 있는 자동화 측정 방법에 대한 연구를 제안하고자 한다.

안와 내에서 안구의 상대적 위치는 여러 병적인 상태를 짐작할 수 있는 하나의 기준이 될 수 있다. 특히 안와골절, 갑상선 안질환, 안와 종양 등의 진단과 이에 약물 및 수술적 치료의 결과를 판단하는데 유용하다. 현재 안구 돌출 값을 측정하기 위해 주로 사용되는 대표적 측정 기기인 Hertel과 Naugle 안구돌출계 등은 검사자가 다를 경우, 같은 검사자가 반복적으로 측정하더라도 검사할 때마다 안와의 고정부위가 달라지는 등 측정자에 의한 오차가 필연적이다. 또한 동일한 안구 돌출 계라고 하더라도 제조 회사가 다르다면 안와의 고정부위 디자인이 달라 검사자에의한 측정 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 안구돌출값의 측정을 3차원 영상 측정기술인 백색광 간섭계를 이용하여 검사 정밀도 및 반복 정도를 크게 올릴 수 있는 자동 측정 방법에 대한 연구를 제안하고자 한다.

Thyroid carcinomas are usually classified as papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Among the thyroid carcinomas, the incidence of medullary and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is low, but the rate of lymph node & distant metastasis from them are more common compared to other types. Follicular thyroid carcinoma has a low rate of lymph node metastasis as 10% and has a high occurrence of hematogenous metastasis to lung, bone, brain and liver. Papillary thyroid carcinoma accounts for $60{\sim}70%$ of whole thyroid carcinomas and the cervical lymph node metastasis is $21{\sim}81%$ including micrometastasis, but the distant metastasis is rare. In the case of bone metastasis, follicular type reveals most frequent, and the rate is about 5%, and more likely to be found on vertebra, pelvis, ribs, femur, and skull. The clinical symptoms of bone metastasis are pain, swelling, pathological fracture and radiologically osteolytic lesions can be observed. But distant metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma is very rare and especially, bone metastasis has hardly been reported. The treatment modalities of metastatic thyroid carcinoma to mandible are known as follows : thyroidectomy to treat primary site, resection of the affected site of mandible, external beam radiotherapy and radioiodine therapy etc.

Background: Osteosarcomas are the most common solid malignancies of bone. In the last two decades there have been no concrete developments in their systemic treatment. In this trial we aimed to present our osteosarcoma patient clinical and demographic outcomes. Materials and Methods: Patients treated and followed up for osteosarcoma in Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital from 2002 to 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: A total of 21 patients (15 male, 6 female) were diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The disease was located at extremities in 76% and in 14% was metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Median disease free survival (DFS) was 36 months in non-metastatic patients and median progression free survival (PFS) was 2 months in metastatic patients (p<0.0001). Median overall survival (OS) was 80 months and 4 months, respectively (p=0.012). There were no survival differences in terms of presentation with pathological fracture, tumor size, tumor grade, alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase level and type of chemotherapy regimen. Conclusions: Tumor site and stages are the most important prognostic factors for osteosarcoma. Extremity primary tumors have beter survival rates than non-extremity tumors. As a result of the use of effective chemotherapy the long term survival rates have improved from 10-20% to 60-70% in the last decades but we need more active agents, especially for metastatic cases.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates is used widely for the treatment of the Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, bone metastases of malignant tumors with the prevention of pain and their pathological fracture. However, it was recently suggested that bisphosphonates related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a side effect of bisphosphonate use. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four individuals, who were referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Dankook University Dental Hospital, were selected from those who had exposed bone associated with bisphosphonates from January, 2005 to December, 2009 according to the criteria of American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) for BRONJ. The patients group consisted of 7 males and 17 females between the age of 46 to 78 years (average 61.8 years). Each patient had panoramic imaging, computed tomography (CT), whole body bone scanning performed for a diagnosis and biopsy sampling from the necrotizing tissue. C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) level of patients who had undergone surgical intervention was measured 7 days before surgery. Results: The main cause of bone exposure was post-extraction (15), chronic periodontitis (4), persistent irritation of the denture (3). Twenty people had undergone BRONJ treatment for two to eight months except for 4 people who had to maintain the bisphosphonates treatment to prevent a metastasis and bone trabecular pain with medical treatment. When the bisphosphonate treatment was suspended at least for 3 months and followed up according to the AAOMS protocols, the exposed necrotizing bones were found to be covered by soft tissue. Conclusion: Prevention therapy, interruption of bisphophonates for at least 3 months and cooperation with the physician for conservative treatment are the essential for treating BRONJ patient with high risk factors. The CTX level of BRONJ patients should be checked before undergoing surgical intervention. Surgical treatments should be delayed in the case of a CTX level <150 pg/mL.

Lateral pharyngeal space is one of potential fascial planes of head and neck, that may become involved by various pathological processes, such as infection, inflammation and neoplasm. The calcified stylohyoid ligament with styloid process is also located in this space, so this space is more acquainted with Eagle's syndrome in oral and maxillofacial field. During the mandibular transbuccal fixation procedures of 29-year old female patient who had right condylar neck and left parasymphysis fracture, we had lost one 10.0 mm miniscrew. After confirming the location of the lost miniscrew from different angled plain skull radiographies, we tried to find it in the lateral pharyngeal space via transtonsillar approach at the time of plate removal operation. This case report is aimed to share our valuable experience of the effective approach way to the lateral pharyngeal space, which has many advantages, such as short operative time, minimal bleeding, fast post-operative recovery, and less morbidity. The related literature is also reviewed.

This article portrays the authors' experience with a complex lower limb bone and soft tissue defect, following chronic osteomyelitis and pathological fracture, which was managed by the multidisciplinary orthoplastic team. The decision for functional amputation versus limb salvage was deemed necessary, enhanced by the principles of "spare parts" in reconstructive microsurgery. This case describes the successful use of the osteocutaneous distal tibia turn-up fillet flap that allowed "lowering the level of the amputation" from a through knee to a below-knee amputation (BKA) to preserve the knee joint function. We comprehensibly review reports of turn-up flaps which effectively lower the level of amputation, also applying "spare-parts" surgery principles and explore how these concepts refine complex orthoplastic approaches when limb salvage is not possible to enhance function. The osteocutaneous distal tibia turn-up fillet flap is a robust technique for modified BKA reconstructions that provides sufficient bone length to achieve a tough, sensate stump and functional knee joint.
