5.Residual Pain after Operative Treatment for Chronic Ankle Instability
Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2021;25(1):32-37
Patients with chronic lateral ankle instability often experience a range of associated injuries. The well-known comorbidities include intra-articular pathologies (osteochondral lesion, soft tissue or bony impingement, and loose body), peroneal tendon pathologies, neural injuries, and other extra-articular pathologies. Surgeons should have a high index of suspicion for these associated pathologies before operative intervention, correlate the clinical findings, and plan the treatment. Despite the restoration of ankle stability following ligament repair or reconstruction surgery, a high prevalence (13%~35%) of postoperative residual pain has been reported. This pain can negatively affect the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. This study examined the causes of persistent pain after surgical treatments for chronic ankle instability.
6.Reconstructive Strategies for Chronic Achilles Tendon Rupture
Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2021;25(2):80-88
Chronic Achilles tendon rupture is likely to result in functional impairment in gait and sports activity. The presence of a large defect secondary to retraction of the tendon ends, atrophy of the calf muscles, and vulnerable vascularity of the soft tissue envelope make it a challenging problem to treat. Surgical reconstruction aims to restore the length and tension of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex. Various surgical treatment options have been described, depending on several factors, including residual gap size after scar tissue removal, remaining tissue quality, and vascularity. Despite good results being reported, there is a lack of high-level, evidence-based clinical guidelines available to select the first-line surgical procedure. This paper overviews the current available surgical options for patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture.

Purpose: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential features to save the kidney in patients with an acute renal infarction. To reduce the delay in diagnosis, the clinical features and treatments of an acute renal infarction were evaluated. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 19 patients (14 men and 5 women) diagnosed with an acute renal infarction were retrospectively analyzed. Symptoms, findings of a cardiologic evaluation, laboratory findings, presumptive diagnosis and treatments were evaluated. Results: All patients complained of flank or abdominal pain. Fifty-three percent of the patients had a history of cardiovascular disease and 37% had no history of specific illnesses. The level of serum LDH was markedly elevated in all patients that performed the test. Initially, only 4 patients were diagnosed as acute renal infarction. In the others, the presumptive diagnoses were urinary stone, acute abdomen, aortic dissection and so forth. Seven patients were managed with conservative care due to the delay in diagnosis or poor general condition. Nine patients were managed with systemic anticoagulation and 3 with intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy. Conclusions: An acute renal infarction must be considered as one of the presumptive diagnoses in patients presenting with flank or abdominal pain and a history of cardiovascular diseases. Prompt CT scanning and testing of the serum LDH level will help in the accurate and immediate diagnosis of an acute renal infarction.

Bleeding from esophageal or gastric varix is the most critical and life-threatening complication of portal hypertension and the most common cause of deaths in the patients with cirrhosis. In the management of variceal bleeding, the various therapeutic interventions including operation and nonoperative procedure were tried, but neither of management was successfully achieved. Between February 1992 and November 1994, we performed endoscopic injection sclerotherapy(EIS) in 35 cirrhotic patients who had recently bled from esophageal varices and had a past history of esophageal variceal bleeding in Chonbuk National Univesity Hospital. Among 35 patients, 32 were male and 3 were female. The underlying severity of liver disease was graded A, B or C according to modification of Child-Pugh classification. EIS was repeated every 1 week until the esophageal varices had been complete obliterated and removed. To investigate the effects of esophageal varix eradication by EIS on combined peri- cardial varix, endoscopic examinations were performed both before procedure and after complete EIS sessions and this study was performed to examine a changes of combined pericardial varices after EIS procedure for the treatment of esophageal varices bleeding secondary to portal hypertesion. We reviewed medical records and compared changes or sizes of pericardial varices before and after EIS procedure. Mean follow up peiod was 61 days. Total number of 162 EIS for variceal eradication were performed. Mean session for eradication of esophageal varices was 4.6 per person, mean amount of injected sclerosant was 8.3cc(1-18cc), mean duration of EIS was 39 days, and mean follow up was 62 days after complete EIS procedure. In total 162 EIS procedure, complications associated with EIS including substernal discomfort 53.7%(n=87), substernal chest pain 45.7%(n=74), fever 4.9%(n=8), dysphagia 14.2%(n=23) and pleural effusion 3.1%(n=5), were transient and not required specific management. During the follow-up period, complete disapperance of pericardial varix or reduction of size was appeared in l8 cases(51.4%) among total 35 patients. No significant changes of variceal size before and after procedure were l6 cases(45.7%) and only 1 case(2.9%) was more aggravated. So, these results suggest that EIS procedure of esophageal varix on pericardial varix seems either to improve or to maintain the severity of the pericardial gastric varix without aggravation.
