The purpose of this study is to make an emphasis the necessity of the dynamization after interlocking intramedullary nailing. We reviewed 75 cases of the fractures of the shaft of femur or tibia fixed with static interlocking intramedullary nailing. We excluded the cases in whom the locking screws were removed for the purpose of the relief of pain from the irriataion by those screws. The parameter we reviewed were the type of fracture, postoperative gap between the major fragments. Early callus formation, the union time, postoperative dynamization and controlled weight bearing. In those cases in which the contact surface between the major fragments was more than 50% and there noticed no early callus within 6 weeks after operation, the union time was shortened after dynamization, when the contact surface was less than 50% and there noticed no early callus, the union time was shortened after bone graft and dynamization which resulted in some shortening in the length in acceptable ranges. In cases with a major gap of more than 2mm, the union time was shortened after dynamization. The rate of early callus formation was a little higher in cases with postoperative controlled weight bearing than those to whom we did not permit a controlled weight bearing.

The function of the meniscus and subsequently the importance of meniscus preservation are well known. Thirty-two patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair between 1993 and 1995 were studied retrospectively. Twenty menisci were repaired using modified Henning inside-out technique and the remaining twelve meaisci, outside-in technique. The average delay in surgery was two hundred days. Follow-up was done from 1 year to 3 years (average 22.4 months). The medial meniscus was repaired in 22 cases and the lateral meniscus including two saucerized discoid meniscus in 10 cases. Fourteen patients had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and other associated knee injuries were lateral condyle fra'cture of femur in one case and lateral condyle &acture of tibia in one case. Assessment of the result was based on the evaluation form of the International Knee Documentation CommitteegKDC). Twenty-seven patients (84.3%) were normal to nearly normal. Abnormal and severely abnormal results were mainly affected by the result of treatment of ACL tear.
