In 1980, Franklin was reported deltoid sensory flap for the one-stage reconstruction of large soft tissue injuries and restoration of protective sensation on the hand or weight bearing ares. The deltoid sensory flaps were performed in 8 cases at the Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine from July, 1984 to June, 1986. The results were as followings : l. A one-stage reconstruction of large soft tissue injuries was done with a deltoid sensory flap. 2. The protective sensation was restored. 3. The primary closure of the donor sites was feasible, and no limitation of motion of the shoulder was remained. In conclusion, the advantage of deltoid sensory flap exceed the any methods that have been employed in the sense of functional and plastic aspects.

Correction and stabilization for deformed feet were performed on 372 feet in 309 patients under 17 years old age at the Sam Yook Rehabilitation Center. Review of statistics, technical problems, and complications has led to followings :1. Cerebral palsy and residual poliomyelitis were the most common etiology. 2. Equinovarus deformity and its conjoined cavus deformity were the most common deformity. 3. In soft tissue surgery, tendo calcaneus lengthening was the most common procedure, and next, plantar fasciotomy. 4. In bone surgery, triple arthrodesis was the most common procedure, especially Ryerson technique. 5. Almost patients impraved their stand and gait pattern by operation.

Triple arthrodesis is performed to obtain stable stature and walking, to eliminate pain, to correct the deformities of the foot. This is the result of 92 feet triple arthrodesis over a period from 1976 to 1991 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The results are as follows 1. Mean age was 17.6 years, ranged from 10 to 51 years. 2. Of the total of 92 feet, sequelae of poliomyelitis was the most common etiology with 58 feet(63%). 3. Most common type of foot deformity was talipes equinovarus with 52 feet(56%). 4. Internal fixation was done with staple or Steinmann pin combined with autogenous bone graft. Among them, using of 2 staples was the most common fixation method, 47 cases(51%). 5. As necessary, triple arthrodesis was combined with tendo-calcaneus lengthening, plantar fasciotomy, posterior capsulotomy, modified Jones operation and tibiotalar arthrodesis. 6. Final results were ideal. in 22 cases(24%), good in 51 cases(56%), fair in 16 cases(17%) and fail in 3 cases(3%). 7. There were 2 cases of pseudoarthrosis and 1 case of residual equinus deformity after operation. In conclusion, triple arthrodesis was the efficient method of treatment for the deformed feet in skeletally matured patients.

The changes in the surface of articular cartilage of femoral condyle from rabbits were evaluated after degenerative changes were made by the technique advocated by Hulth. The medial collateral and both cruciate ligaments were excised, and a medial menisectomy was done. Then the right knee joint was injected with 1 ml of Na-hyaluronate gel every two weeks. The animals were sacrificed at two, four, six, eight, or sixteen weeks postoperatively. After sacrifice, the medial femoral condyle was excised and prepared for the light microscopic and scanning electron microscopic study. At eight to sixteen weeks, there were chondrocyte clones with clefts to the radial zone and increased loss of the height of articular cartilage on the control side; but, on theexperimental side there was a significant delay and lessening of the arthriticresponse. The biocompatibility and the protective effect of joint degeneration of this device make this material a valuable adjuvant in the treatment ofosteoarthritis and the traumatized joints.
