In the classical ballet dancers, ankle joints are frequently overused. Especially the Pointe and the Releve are the two basic steps of ballet dance which cause the narrowing of the posterior aspect of the ankle joint. Posterior impingement syndrome of the ankle joint is defined as impingement occuring at the anatomical interval between the posterior tibial articular surface and os calcis. The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomy and etiology of this injury and to review the non-operative and operative treatments. Sixteen cases of posterior impingment syndrome had been treated between March 1994 and March 1995. Ten dancers were professional and six were students. The patients was divided 3groups by etiologic factor. Group 1 is anatomical problem factor, Group 2 is overuse factor and Group 3 is ankle sprain factor. Thirteen dancers (81.2%) improved with conservative treatment including local steroid injection. Among the other three dancers, operation was performed in one case. The other two cases stopped dancing. The result was good in one dancer after operation. In the classic ballet dancers, posrerior impingement syndrome was frequent disorder and major etiologic factors are anatomical problem and overuse. Operation was necessary in only group l. It is good result in conservative treatment and operation.

Flexor hallucis longus tendinitis is a common overuse syndrome in classic ballet dancers. To describe the clinical symptoms, diagnosis and non-operative and operative treatment, we evaluated twenty ballet dancers from march 1994 to August 1995. For the diagnosis, Tomasen test was helpful clinically and MRI was essential for surgical intervetion to find a tendon degeneration. Patients were classified into three groups by symptoms and clinical stages. All of the Group 1 and 2 were recovered by means of the conservative treatment. Two dancers belongs to Group 3 showed a severe degeneration of tendon on the MRI scan, finally was taken the an operation. Release of the tarsal tunnel were performed. Six months after operation, they could return to dancing.

BACKGROUND: Epidural steroids injections are often used for the treatment of low back pain but their effects on the endocrine system have not been determined. Few studies have quantified the degree or duration of the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in humans given epidural triamcinolone injection (ETI) for low back pain. The evaluation of the blood adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol was undertaken to determine the extent of suppression of the HPA axis in patients given ETI. METHODS: Lumbar epidural triamcinolone injections were performed on the painful lumbar intervertebral space with patients in the lateral decubitus position. The injection consisted of 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide diluted in 10 mL of 1% lidocaine. Patients remained in the lateral position for 10 min after the procedure. Basal blood sampling was performed at 30 min before ETI and tested blood sampling was obtained at 7 days, 10 days, and 14 days after ETI. RESULTS: The blood cortisol level was significantly decreased at 7 days and 10 days but at 14 days was not significantly decreased and the blood ACTH level was not significantly decreased at 7 days, 10 days, and 14 days. CONCLUSIONS: Above results demonstrate that blood ACTH and cortisol level normalize 7 days and 14 days, respectively, after epidural triamcinolone 40 mg injection.

Acardic twining is a rare congenital anomaly, usually in monozygotic twins. This condition is characterized by the absence or rudimentary development of fetal hear, and associated with various anomaly(especially with anecephalus). The acardiac malformations are uniformly fatal in the affected twin, and mortality in the co-twin is as high as 55%. We recently experienced a case of acardius acephalus associated with a normal term male infant, so present with a brief review of the literature.
