1.Paint-Gun Injuries
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1994;29(1):95-99
As a variety of the industrial accidents, we have experienced the paint-gun injuries at ship yard. Authors have experienced 17 patients (18 cases) of the paint-gun injuries at Okpo Daewoo Hospital, Daewoo Medical Foundation, Kyungnam from January, 1986 to September, 1992. After clinical and roentgenographical analysis, the clinical results were summarized as follows: The hand was the most common site (83.3%) among the upper extremity injuries, espicially right hand and we have had good results from the extensive debridement, curettage, prophylactic antibiotics and the penrose drain insertion in extensive injury cases, compared with minimal injury cases. However, we concluded that most of the cases in Paint-injures were preventalbe.

Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome is one of the very rare genetic diseases which primarily affects face, hands and feet. At first, Freeman and Sheldon described this syndrome as cranio-carpo-tarsal dystrophy in 1938 and later Burian, as "whistling face" syndrome in 1963. There were 60 cases of reports in the world up to now, and only one paper with 5 cases in a family was reported in Korea. The authors report 2 cases of Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome associated with bilateral inguinal hernias and undescended tests in a family, briefly review the literature and alert orthopaedic surgeons to this condition.

In the literature, the scapular neck fracture with ipsilateral acromioclavicluar dislocation(type I), mid-clavicular fracture(type II) or sternoclavicular dislocation(type III) is defined as floating shoulder. Authors managed 4 cases of type II floating shoulder, 3 cases by open reduction and internal fixation for the clavicular fracture only and 1 case by conservative therapy. The final results were excellent in 3 cases of the operative group and good in 1 case of the conservative group, by UCLA shoulder rating scale. There were no complications, including drooping or limited motion in the operative treatment group. However, there was shoulder pain in the case of the conservative treatment. It is thought that internal fixation for the clavicular fracture only may be the simple and sufficient treatment method for type lI floating shoulder.

From September 1992 to April 1994, we reviewed 7 patients after arthroscopic surgery for anterior impingement in the ankle, who complained ankle pain and limitation of motion. All patients were mem and main symptoms were severe pain at full dorsiflexion of ankle and limitation of motion. Bony spur was located on the anterior aspect of tibia, and it was possible to resect the tibial bony spur arthroscopically without distraction devices. Mean operation time was 55 minutes. Pain, swelling and limitation of motion were much improved. There was no postoperative complication. Arthroscopic resection of the anterior tibial bony spur is an effective treatment for anterior impingement in the ankle.

The human hand is a highly sophisticated tool of sensibility and prehension, and the reconstruction of injured hands are essential to not only reconstruct of hand function but also reconstruct of body. Seven cases of tendocutaneous flap, a case of osteocutaneous flap, nine cases of thumb reconstruction with a free neurovascular wrap-around flap from the big toe, two cases of second toe-to-index trander, and a case of left ring finger to right index finger transfer were performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Hanyang University Hospital, and satisfactory results were obtained both comsmetically and functionally.

Thyroid acropachy is a rare complication of Graves' disease, manifested by clubbing of the terminal phalanges, periosteal new bone formation and overlying soft tissue swelling, It may occur when the patient is hypothyroid, euthyroid or hyperthyroid. In most cases, it is a part of the syndrome, including exophthalmos and/or pretibial myxedema. The authors have experienced one case of thyroid acropachy and report with a review of the literature review. The patient a 56-year-old female with a characteristic feathery new bone formation on the medial side of the shaft of the left first metatarsal bone and overlying soft tissue swelling. However, there was no pretibial myxedema and clubbing of fingers. She was hypothyroid and treated with systemic corticosteroid for mild pain and persistent swelling. The treatment had temporarily improved the patient's condition.

Subacute hematogenous ostemyelitis is mostly likely due to an altered relationship between host and pathogen, associated with increase host resistance, decreased virulence of the causative organism and/or antibiotics modification. In a retrospective study of the hematogenous ostemyelitis in 156 cases, 19 cases of them were the subacute form of the ostemyelitis. Pain is the most consistent symptom and most of the constitutional symptoms were usually mild. However, the ESR was often elevated. From our data, the following results were obtained. 1. The most common skeletal involvement was the distal part of the tibia(8 out of 19 patients). 2. The causative organism was staphylococcus aureus by the bacterial culture of the specimens. 3. In the literature, acute hematogenous ostemyelitis rarely cross the physis in patients older than 18 months of its age. However, subacute ostemyelitis frequently does cross the physis(5 out of 19 patients). 4. Cross physeal lesions were healed without any permanant damage to the growth plate in our cases(5 out of 19 patients). 5. All patients except for one case were treated by curettage and antibiotics. 6. The mush higher incidence of the cross physeal lesions may be expected by MRI in identifying the lesion. 7. Seven out of 19 patients had radiographic findings similar to eosinophilic granjuloma, Ewing's sarcoma or osteosarcoma.
