Iatrogenic damage of the rotator cuff followed by postoperative shoulder function loss is a potential complication after antegrade intramedullary nailing (AIN) for a humeral fracture. The authors present a case of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and subacromial decompression of a non-healed rotator cuff tendon (mainly supraspinatus) and secondary impingement syndrome caused either by the tear or a proud nail after AIN for a mid-shaft humeral fracture. At presentation, the patient complained of right shoulder pain and 'snapping', especially during forward elevation and abduction of the shoulder, of 4 years duration. Right shoulder pain started sometime after pain due to the humeral shaft fracture, operation had subsided, and persisted after nail removal. Arthroscopic findings showed a longitudinal rotator cuff tear at the nail entry point that had not healed and severe fibrous hypertrophy on the acromion underspace, which is a unique finding since most longitudinal splits of tendon fibers are more likely to heal than conventional rotator cuff tears detached from bone. The torn rotator cuff was repaired after debridement and placing side-to-side sutures. At his 34-month follow-up after rotator cuff repair, the patient showed complete recovery and had excellent clinical scores.

Fibrous histiocytomas are characterized by a variable combination of cells with fibroblastic and histiocytic features. They exhibit a distinctive but inconstant cellular arrangement referred to as a storiform or cartwheel pattern. Considerable corfusion has enveloped these tumors as a result of their various terminology-fibrous histiocytoma, dermatofibroma, sclerosing hemangioma, fibroxanthoma, subepidermal nodular fibrosis, xanthogranuloma, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath. A histologically benign but locally infiltrating, 15 * 20cm sized, fibrous histiocytoma was found in the posterior aspect of left thigh of a 17-year-old man. The tumor was incompletely excised due to adhesion of the tumor mass to sciatic nerve and then radiation therpy was combined, Histogenesis and prognostic aspects of the tumor are discussed.

Acute pyogenic arthritis in renal transplant patient is one of the serious problem resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this paper is to analyze seven patients in whom acute pyogenic arthritis developed following renal transplantation. Pyogenic arthritis developed in seven (0.7%) out of 958 renal transplant patients whose transplanted kidney functioned well for more than two years. The age of the patients ranged from 37 to 65 years with a mean of 48 years. All patients were male. Pyogenic arthritis developed between the period of one and 12 years (mean: 4.5+/-4.2 years) following transplantation. Causative organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (three), E. coli (two), Salmonella (one) and Acinetobacter bananii (one). Involved joints were four knees, one hip, one elbow and one finger. Two patients improved on a conservative regimen of bed rest and antibiotics and five patients required open drainage. However, pyogenic arthritis recurred in three years, four years and seven years after renal transplant in one patient. Looking at the probable risk factors of age, sex, immunosuppresants, diabetics and acute graft rejection, diabetics and older age (over 40 years old) are highly associated with post renal transplant pyogenic arthritis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of intravenous atropine sulfate therapy in infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). From 1998 to 2000 among 35 cases of IHPS, pyloromytomy was performed in 13 (Group A), and intravenous atropine was given as a primary therapy in 22 cases (Group B). In group A, all cases were cured completely. In group B, 13 (59 %) out of 22 cases were successfully treated with atropine, but 9 were failed therapy, and required operation. The recovery period to normal feeding and the hospital stay of the successful atropine group were longer than those of pyloromyotomy, 8.6 days vs. 2.9 days and 13.2 days vs. 4.1 days, respectively. In conclusion, intravenous atropine therapy did not replace pyloromyotomy, but it might be an alternative for the selected patients with contraindications for operation.

PURPOSE: Our study was designed to compare the incidence of urological complications for patients with spinal cord injury in relation to their voiding method, and then we wished to suggest a proper voiding method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on their medical records, questionnaires and upper tract imaging, a total of 301 male spinal cord injury patients were retrospectively analyzed for the outcomes of their voiding method. Our study was performed on 50 patients with urethral Foley catheterization, 106 patients with clean intermittent catheterization, 67 patients with suprapubic catheterization, 51 patients within self voiding and 27 patients with condom catheters. Urological complications such as urinary infection, stone disease, urethral complications, vesicoureteral reflux, radiographic upper tract abnormality and bladder tumor were recorded for each patient. RESULTS: Of the 262 complications that were recorded, 89 developed in 24 (48.0%) patients having urethral Foley catheterization, 41 in 23 (21.7%) patients having clean interemittent catheterization, 72 in 26 (38.8%) patients having suprapubic catheterization. 36 in 15 (39.4%) patients with self voiding and 24 in 9 (33.3%) patients having condom catheters. The urethral Foley catheterization group had the highest complication rates relative to all other voiding methods, and the clean intermittent catheterization group had significantly lower complication rates except for having the highest rate of urethral stricture. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that clean intermittent catheterization for spinal cord injury patients significantly reduces the incidence of urological complications and it may be the optimal voiding method.

PURPOSE: This study was done to evaluate the effects of 3 times/week and 5 times/week abdominal meridian massage with aroma oils (AMMAO) on the relief of constipation among hospitalized children with disabilities involving the brain lesions (cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and others). METHODS: The participants were 33 hospitalized children with a disability involving the brain (15 were in the 5 times/week of AMMAO group and 18 were in the 3 times/week of AMMAO group). Data were collected from March 21 to May 1, 2011. Chi-square test, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS 18.0 were used to evaluate the effects of AMMAO. RESULTS: While there was no significant difference between the two groups, there was a significant difference within groups between baseline and the end of the intervention period for the following, frequency of suppository use or enemas, amount of stool, and number of bowel movements. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that AMMAO is an effective nursing intervention in relief of constipation for hospitalized children with a disability involving the brain. Therefore it is recommended that AMMAO be used in clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention for relief of constipation to these children.

Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2013;17(4):302-308
PURPOSE: To present clinical results of proximal first metatarsal opening wedge osteotomy and low profile plate fixation in hallux valgus deformity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-two patients (39 feet) underwent surgery for hallux valgus deformity. Fourteen patients (18 feet; Group A) underwent proximal first metatarsal opening wedge osteotomy fixed with low profile titanium plate (Arthrex(R)), and 18 patients (21 feet; Group B) underwent proximal chevron osteotomy with two K-wires. Improvement in hallux valgus angle (HVA), 1, 2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA), range of motion of 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, VAS score, and the length of first metatarsal on weight-bearing radiograph were evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up. RESULTS: HVA improved from 36.2+/-6.6 degrees to 11.7+/-5.1 degrees, and 1, 2 IMA improved from 15.7+/-2.6 degrees to 7.2+/-1.9 degrees. VAS score improved from 7.2+/-1.2 to 1.4+/-0.9. There were no significant differences clinically and radiologically. CONCLUSION: Proximal first metatarsal opening wedge osteotomy with stable fixation using low profile plate may be an effective surgical option for correction of hallux valgus deformity.
