Serum creatine phosphokinase(CPK) levels were measured serially in 20 adults with closed tibial shaft fractures, CPK activity increased significantly after fracture(p < 0.01). High energy and delayed healing fractures had significantly higher levels of CPK than low energy and normally healing fractures, respectively. Thus, CPK determinations could be used to assess the severity of trauma and possible prognosis of the healing in tibial shaft fractures.

BACKGROUND: Isolated infraspinatus tear is very rare and clinical features are not as well known, therefore the purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of isolated infraspinatus tear that authors experienced. METHODS: Authors reviewed 288 cases of full-thickness rotator cuff tear involving infraspinatus between 2010 and 2015, and retrospectively analyzed six cases of isolated infraspinatus tear. Perioperative clinical characteristics, postoperative functional outcomes of 6 months were investigated. Functional evaluation included visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motions, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and Constant score. RESULTS: Calcific tendinitis was accompanied in 4 cases (66.7%). Three of them received steroid injection or aspiration or extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Mean preoperative pain VAS was 7.1 (range, 5–9), and mean postoperative pain VAS at 6 months later was 1.6 (range, 0–5). Preoperative muscle strength by isokinetic muscle performance test showed 52% deficit of abduction and 37.6% deficit of external rotation. All 6 patients had arthroscopic repair of the infraspinatus tendon. All the patients at the 6 months follow-up exhibited clinical improvement in the Constant score (67.8 [range, 45–77] to 89.3 [range, 81–100], p=0.029), and ASES score (52.3 [range, 30–77] to 90.0 [range, 80–100], p=0.002). There was no healing failure on imaging. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated infraspinatus tendon tear was frequently accompanied by calcific tendinitis, but pathophysiologic relationship should need more study. To rule out neurogenic etiology, magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography would be helpful. Arthroscopic infraspinatus tendon repair and supraspinatus debridement showed relatively good result in painful shoulder.

8.Ectopic ureterocele in children.

Ectopic ureteroceles have a broad spectrum of presentation, anatomy and pathophysiology and the management is controversial. Herein, we report our experience of the management in 7 children with 8 ectopic ureteroceles associated with complete duplicated systems. Two functioning upper renal segments were able to be salvaged with ureteropyeIostomy and common sheath ureteral reimplantation. Four small ureteroceles not associated with reflux managed successfully with upper tract correction only(3 heminephrectomy and 1 ureteropyelostomy). Three children with ectopic ureteroceles associated with reflux and/or outlet obstruction underwent successful one stage total reconstruction which included heminephrectomy, ureterectomy, ureterocelectomy and lower pole ureter reimplantation. In summary, the management of ectopic ureterocele must be individualized taking into considerations the salvageability of renal segments, presence of reflux and/or outlet obstruction.

The bilateral vanishing testes syndrome is a rare condition in which the vanishing testes were once present but atrophied due to compromise in blood supply. We present a case of bilateral vanishing testes syndrome which was confirmed with laparoscopy and exploratory laparotomy following hormonal therapy The diagnosis of vanishing testes syndrome can be established by following criteria without surgical exploration. These criteria include a normal male phenotype with XY karyotype, absence of Mullerian structures on rectal examination or ultrasonography, elevated gonadotropins(FSH alone or FSH and LH), and no significant increase in serum testosterone after hCG stimulation. However, patients who do not fit these criteria should have laparoscopy or exploration to look for occult gonadal tissue and spermatic vessels.

The incidence of impalpable testis is approximately 20 percent of undescended testis population and some may possess vascular pedicle shortening that prohibits scrotal placement in one stage orchiopexy. From July 1987 through April 1988, 12 patients with 17 impalpable testicles were explored by lower midline incision and the following results were obtained : 1. We could identify and prove the location of testis and/or anorchia without postoperative complication : 10 intraabdominal testes (59%), 3 intracanalicular (18%), 4 anorchia (23%). 2. Among 10 intraabdominal testes 5 testes were brought down by transabdominal orchiopexy, 3 testes by Fowler-Stephens method, and 1 testis by staged orchiopexy and remaining testis were removed. 3. Among 3 intracanalicular testes 2 testes were brought down by transabdominal orchiopexy and one testis was removed. 4. Follow up testicular examination of fixed testes revealed no testicular atrophy in all transabdominal orchiopexed testes and no testicular atrophy in 1 of 3 testes which were performed by Fowler-Stephens method.
