Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the result of endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft for the treatment of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus. Materials and Methods: Three cases in three patients who had curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus under endoscopic view were prospectively reviewed. A minimum follow-up of 1 year was required for entrance into the study. The results of treatment were clinically and radiologically assessed. Results: One case with preoperative heel pain gained complete relief of the pain at postoperative four weeks. All three cases had radiological union of grafted bone at an average of thirteen weeks after the operation. Shortened hospitalization and decreased postoperative pain were remarkable. Complications such as infection, skin necrosis, nerve injury, and, fracture were not seen. There was no evidence of the recurrence of the cyst in all three cases. Conclusion: Endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus is thought as an effective alternative procedure avoiding the possible complications of the classic method.
This study aims to develop protective pants to relieve impact from falls and to present basic data for the development. The survey results are as follows; First, 45% of the respondents were in their 60s and 55% of them were in their over 70s and older. Also, 64% of them have fallen once for the past year and 36% of them have fallen twice or more. The older they were, the more there were those who have fallen twice or more. This indicated the older people has experienced more fall accidents again after a initial fall accident. Second, as per accident situations, the survey showed that fall accidents happened the most in the winter and in the afternoon (12-18 pm). Also, it happened on a street mostly and they were wearing sneakers or hiking boots when they got a hurt slipped in a front or side by missing their step in a walk. The injury areas are mostly knee and ankle. They had the bruises or a sprain in their knee and ankle mostly. The rate of bone fracture was 19.5%. Therefore, the protection area to falls in lower body is the knee. But hip and hip joint should be protected with knee as well because those are usually be broken when it is damaged. Third, approximately 80% of those who were hospitalized for treatment had surgery. Patients who had surgery were rather in their over 70s than in their 60s. The older they were, the more serious their fracture was. The period of hospital or outpatient treatment is more than three weeks in many cases. They responded their health got worse after falls. Aftereffects of accidents were physical discomfort, anxiety and medical costs. Falls to the old makes physical damage, psychological damage, which cause reduced physical activity and the increased cost of health care with economic losses. So it results on a negative impact on the life of the old. Fourth, elderly females were rarely aware of impact protective clothing and they have never purchased such clothing. For impact protective pants, the major consideration was suitable design for their body types. They liked casual style with front or side pockets and simple designs without any patterns or decorations. As per pants materials, they responded that they need functionality, activity and elasticity. Among the functional points, insulation of cloths are considered importantly, so the heat reservance of material in the impact protective pants should be considered carefully.
Purpose: We analysis the outcome and complications of treatment of lesser toe brachymetatarsia. Materials and Methods: We analysed 28 patients 35 cases of lesser toe brachymetatarsia. Mean post operative follow up period was 2 years 8 months. All of the patients were female and mean age at operation was 21 years old. 2 cases of third metatasal bone and 33 cases of fourth metatarsal bone were operated. 8 metatarsal bones were treated using one staged lengthening with tricortical bone graft and 27 metatarsal bones were treated using callotasis with monofixator. Results: The average amount of lengthening was 13.3mm(12mm-15mm) in one staged lengthening, while 14.4mm(4mm-23mm) in callotasis. Average percentile increase was 28.9%(26%-34%) in one staged lengthening and 32%(18%-46%) in callotasis. The average healing index of callotasis was 76 days/cm (41 days/cm-166 days/cm). Satisfied outcomes in 4 cases of 8 cases (50%) after one staged lengthening and 17 cases of 27 cases (63%) after callotasis. 6 complications in 4 cases were occurred after one staged lengthening; insufficient length gain in 3 cases, fracture on the junction of graft bone and metatarsal bone in 1 case, plantar bowing deformity in 1 case and bony fusion of metatarsophalangeal joint in 1 case. 17 complications in 10 patients were occurred after callotasis ; metatarsophalangeal joint stiffness in 8 cases, metatarsophalangeal joint subluxation in 2 cases, overlengthened metatarsal bone in 2 cases, tapering of callus in 1 case, fracture of callus in 1 case, premature consolidation of callus in 1 case, osteomyelitis of metataral head in 1 case and plantar bowing deformity in 1 case. Conclusion: Although one staged lengthening and gradual lengthening using callotasis are effective treatment for lesser toe brachymetatarsia, complications not rarely occured after lengthening. Insufficient lengthening are most common complication after one staged lengthening while metatarsophalangeal joint stiffness lire most common complication after callotasis.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of operative treatment using mini-open sinus tarsi approach for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures. Materials and Methods: We studied 18 cases (16 patients) of intraarticular calcaneal fractures who were treated with sinus tarsi approach by same surgeon. The mean age of patients was 44.8 years, and mean follow-up period was 17.2 months. The measurement of B$\ddot{o}$hler angle, Gissane angle, the degree of articular surface depression, and the period to union were performed through preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The clinical evaluation was performed according to hindfoot score of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and scale of the Creighton-Nebraska health foundation (CNHF). Results: B$\ddot{o}$hler angle and Gissane angle had improved significantly from preoperative average $9.8^{\circ}$, $117.6^{\circ}$to average $22.4^{\circ}$, $113.4^{\circ}$ immediate postoperatively, and had maintained to average $21.8^{\circ}$and $114.2^{\circ}$ at the last follow-up. The degree of articular surface depression had improved significantly from preoperative average 5.2 mm to 1.2 mm at the last follow-up. All cases achieved bone union, and the period to union was average 10.5 weeks. AOFAS score was average 86.2 points at the last follow-up. There were 7 excellent, 9 good, and 2 fair results according to the CNHF scale. Therefore, 16 cases (88.8%) achieved satisfactory results. Conclusion: The minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach using headless compression screw seems to be an effective surgical method for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures, because of the possibility of accurate restoration of articular surface and the low risk of postoperative soft tissue complications.
Purpose: To cover the exposed tendons and bones after trauma and cure the concomitant osteomyelitis in the lower extremities, gracilis muscle free flaps are frequently preferred. 32 cases of gracilis muscle free flap we had done were analysed according to the indications, specification of flap length and width, pedicle length, vessels used in the anastomosis and final healing after at least over 1 year follow up. Materials and methods: From August 1995 through November 2002, we have performed 32 cases of gracilis muscle free flap transplantation with the general microsurgical procedures in the lower extremities. Open fracture of the middle and distal tibia were 12, exposed heel 6, crushing injury in the foot 5 cases, open fracture of the ankle 4, chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia 3 and osteomyelitis of the tarsal bones 2. Tailored flap length were ranged from 16 cm to 4 cm, width were from 5cm to 4cm. Pedicle length averaged around 4 cm. Anastomosis of one artery and two veins in both of donor and recipient were performed in 17 cases and one artery and one vein in 15 cases. Results: All flaps were survived, except 2 cases. Final flap healing was satisfactory to both of the patients and microsurgeon. Conclusion: Gracilis muscle free flaps are frequently chosen to cover the exposed components and cure the osteomyelitis in the lower extremities.

Plantar heel pain is a common clinical problem in foot and ankle clinics. Typically, several conditions such as plantar fasciitis, fat pad atrophy, and calcaneal fracture may lead to plantar heel pain. However, subcalcaneal bursitis occurred between plantar fascia and plantar fat pad has rarely been described as a cause of plantar heel pain. To our knowledge, subcalcaneal bursitis has been reported only once, but there was no mention of preceding factors. We firstly present a case of subcalcaneal bursitis occurred after excessive walking exercise known as "Nordic walking" and successfully managed with conservative treatments that relieve impact on plantar heel.

Purpose: This study compared the functional and radiologic outcomes of intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for tibia fractures in distal tibial spiral fractures combined with posterior malleolar fractures, as well as the functional and radiologic outcomes with and without fixation for posterior malleolar fractures. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to December 2018 the radiological and clinical outcomes of 30 skeletally mature patients with tibial spiral fractures (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification 42-A1, B1, C1) combined with posterior malleolar fractures were analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated with IMN, and 14 patients were treated with MIPO. Depending on the surgical methods, the radiologic and clinical outcomes were compared by evaluating the bone union time, postoperative alignment, postoperative displacement of the posterior malleolar fragment, and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Moreover, the functional and clinical outcomes with and without fixation for posterior malleolar fractures were compared. Results: The mean bone union time was 21.8 weeks in the IMN group and 23.1 weeks in the MIPO group (p=0.500). At the final follow up, the mean alignment was coronal angulation of 1.8°, sagittal angulation of 1.6° in the IMN group and coronal angulation of 1.2° and sagittal angulation of 1.7° in the MIPO group (conoral angulation: p=0.131, sagittal angulation: p=0.850). The postoperative and final radiologic evaluation showed no displacement of the posterior malleolar fragment and excellent joint congruity in all cases. At the final follow-up, the mean AOFAS score was 88.0 on average in the IMN group and 87.6 on average in the MIPO group (p=0.905). The ankle range of motion and AOFAS score were similar in the fixation group and no fixation group for posterior malleolar fractures. Conclusion: Both IMN and MIPO for tibial spiral fractures combined with posterior malleolar fractures result in satisfactory radiological and clinical outcomes.
Purpose: To compare clinical outcome of Sanders type IV intra-articular calcaneal fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus ORIF and primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA). Materials and Methods: Between March 2003 and November 2013, 22 patients with 22 Sanders type 4 intra-articular calcaneal fractures were included in this study. Of these, 11 were treated with ORIF (ORIF group), and 11 were treated with ORIF and PSTA (PSTA group). The mean follow-up period was 34.6 months (range, 18-72 months). Clinical outcomes were assessed along with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society's ankle-hindfoot scale (AOFAS score), and the visual analogue scale pain score (VAS score) at 6-month, 12-month, and last follow-up. Patient satisfaction, return to previous occupation and postoperative complications were also investigated. Results: The results for ORIF did not differ from those for PSTA based on the last follow-up AOFAS scores or the VAS scores (p>0.05). However, patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the PSTA group (p=0.008). Secondary subtalar arthrodesis was conducted in five patients (45.5%) of the ORIF group within 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: We were unable to demonstrate a significant difference in clinical outcomes between ORIF and PSTA; however, the patient satisfaction was higher in the PSTA group. PSTA may be a suitable choice for patients who need fast recovery to daily activity and to prevent the need for secondary subtalar arthrodesis.
The tarsometatarsal joint complex is formed by articulation of the five metatarsal bases with the three cuneiform bones and the cuboid bone. Fracture-dislocation of tarsometatarsal area are difficult to recognize on standard radiographs. The exact diagnosis is occasionally delayed. As a result, improper treatment and late sequelae remains. We decided to make a study of patients with normal foot radiographs on 200 cases. Standard radiographic evaluation was used to study the normal variants of the foot and to evaluate the coincided alignment of the lisfranc joint. Accurate accessment on AP & lateral & $30^{\circ}$ oblique projection of radiographs are very adventageous & important, and next final outcome was detected. : 1. Coincided alignment below 1mm and unfolded lisfranc joint on AP projection was well visalized on 1st cuneiform-metatarsal lateral border and 2nd cuneiform-metatarsal medial border. 2. Coincided alignment below 1mm and unfolded lisfranc joint on oblique projection was well visualized on 2nd cuneiform-metatarsal lateral border and 3rd cuneiform-metatarsal medial border and 3rd cuneform-metatarsal lateral border. 3. More proximal location of 2nd lisfranc joint compared to another joint was 196 cases (98%). It is due to inceleration of 2nd metatarsal base between 3rd & 1st cuneiform. 4. 3rd lisfranc joint was volarward position compared to 2nd listranc on lateral projection at 191 cases (95.5%). It's due to anterior covexity of lisfranc joint. 5. Wide dorsal sided 2nd lisfranc is investigated at 189 cases (94.5%). Because of it. 2nd & 3rd lisfrances are mainly volar dislocated usually. 6. Notching on 5th metatarsal base is visible on 171 cases (85.5%). 7. 4th lisfranc joint had offset normally within $2\sim3mm$ at 98 cases (49%). 8. 5th Lisfranc joint had normally offset within $2\sim3mm$ at 99 cases (49.5%). 9. On lateral projection, slight dorsal location of cuneiform to metatarsal base is investigated at 82 cases (41%).
