OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the lateral transmalleolar (LTM) approach for a displaced posterolateral fragments of a posterior malleolus fracture. DESIGN: Prospective, consecutive. SETTING: Level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS: Thirty-six patients. OUTCOME MEASURES: The x-rays, evaluation of arthritic changes of the ankle joint, range of motion, and Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment questionnaire (SMFA). INTERVENTION: The LTM approach followed by multiple interfragmentary miniscrew-only fixation.

Dorsal soft-tissue defects of the foot and ankle are difficult to cover adequately, particularly in children, although multiple options for reconstruction are available. This study reports the long-term clinical outcomes of the use of distally based adipofascial flaps for these injuries in children. Fourteen children, all younger than 9 years, had relatively homogenous local lesions on the dorsum of the foot and ankle or on the distal lower leg. All 14 defects were covered with distally based ad

Background: In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, surgical resident education depends largely on virtual materials. With the help of point-of-view (POV) cameras, educational videos have become widely used for surgical training. A video recorded from the surgeon's POV helps demonstrate the procedure. We made training movies of the surgical approach to distal radius fractures for residents using a head-mounted video recording system with a laser point targeting device (LPTD). Methods: A

디지털 안궁이전 장치로 하악의 운동로를 기록하고 캐드 소프트웨어(CAD software) 상에 반영할 수 있는데 이를 고려한 보철 수복은 치료 결과를 향상시킨다. 본 증례는 상하악대구치가 소실된 환자에서 디지털 기술을 활용하여 임플란트를 식립 및 보철 수복한 증례이다. 구내 스캔 후 디지털 진단 왁스업을 토대로 임플란트 수술용 가이드를 제작한 뒤 임플란트 식립했다. 6개월의 충분한 골유착 후, 맞춤형 지대주와 첫번째 임시 보철물을 장착하였다. 2개월 후 지대주 수준에서 구강 스캔 및 디지털 안궁이전 장치로 가상 교합기 상마운팅하고 하악 운동을 기록했다. 하악의 움직임을 고려하여 두번째 임시 보철물을 제작,장착 후 안정된 교합 상태에서 더블 스캔 과정으로 복제하여 지르코니아 최종 보철물을 디자인하고 장착했다.

Large tibial defects that occur after tumoral resection can be effectively reconstructed by three-column reconstruction using a medial locking plate, an inlay single-barrel VFG harvested from the contralateral side, and the intact ipsilateral fibula. This technique permits early weight-bearing before fibular hypertrophy and bony union.

Background: The treatment of complex transverse olecranon fractures (CTOFs), also known as olecranon fractures with the impacted articular fragments (IAF), was reported recently. We fix IAFs with absorbable pins supported by autologous bone graft followed by olecranon fracture fixation. We have used the arc centre distance (ACD) method to evaluate the congruency of this concentric hinge joint. The aim of this study is to present the outcomes of this fixation technique and evaluate the value of t

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most frequently encountered fracture around the elbow in children. Avascular necrosis is an uncommon complication after supracondylar fracture, but fishtail deformity after avascular necrosis of the trochlea is well known. However, transient osteochondrosis of the capitellum after a supracondylar fracture has not been previously reported in the English literature except 1 case abstract. The authors report their experience of transient osteochondrosis

Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is typically based on clinical suspI icion supported by imaging and lab findings. Various nuclear medicine imaging, including bone SPECT/CT, is emerging as an effective tool to guide the diagnosis of osteomyelitis. This study investigates whether the preoperative 99mTc DPD bone SPECT/CT uptake \ratio correlates with intraoperative tissue culture positivity in patients with suspected lower extremity osteomyelitis. Methods: We retrospectively r
