ABSTRACT

A 49-year-old female patient suffered a suspicious scalding burn in her right hand and forearm during a seizure, and visited the clinic 16 hours after injury without appropriate initial treatment. The wound was covered with multiple bullae, was cold and pale, and the extension and flexion functions were decreased. The intrafascial pressure was measured as 19~95 mmHg (mean 46.9), confirming compartment syndrome. The pressure was improved following fasciotomy to 23~32 mmHg (mean 27); escharectomy, split thickness skin grafting and partial ostectomy was then performed, and an abdominal flap operation was conducted. The patient underwent a delayed procedure 14 days after the operation, and on the 18th day, subcutaneous fat and fascia tissues from the subcutaneous layer were removed from the skin; after sculpturing, split thickness skin grafting was performed. On the 21st day after flap separation, stump revisions were performed. The patient is currently undergoing rehabilitation; the metacarpophalangeal joint exhibits a normal range of motion, and the proximal interphalangeal joint has a range of motion of 30~45°. The abdominal flap operation was performed for soft tissue defects in the extensor tendon and bone exposure. Thus, various long-term processes were avoided, and by implementing a short operation time and low-cost surgery, relatively quick rehabilitation treatment could be initiated.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical result of staged treatment of traumatic dislocation of the knee joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study population included 15 men and 1 women who were treated between 1996 to 2001. MCL injury was treated with primary repair/ conservative treatment and posterolateral instability was treated with primary repair /augmentation. Combined meniscal injury was treated with repair/partial meniscectomy. After 3 monthes, ACL or PCL was treated by reconstruction if needed. PCL reconstruction was performed in 7 and after 5 monthes in 3 of them ACL reconstruction was performed. In 6, only ACL reconstruction was performed. In 3, no cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed. The evaluation included range of motion, Lyaholm score, stress radiogram. RESULTS: Lysholm mean value was 82.8 and ROM 124 degrees. Complication is 1 peroneal nerve palsy and 1 arthrofibrosis. Average posterior drawer compared with contralateral limb is 5.1mm. CONCLUSION: We suggest that this staged treatment for traumatic dislocation of the knee joint reduce the frequency of complication such as arthrofibrosis and obtain stability of knee joint. Acute PCL reconstruction is necessary for complete PCL tear on MRI in multiple ligament injuries.

ABSTRACT

The criteria for the identification of sex are as follows; sex chromosome and chromatin, gonadal structure, morphology of the external genitalia, morphology of the internal genitalia, hormonal status, sex of rearing and gender role. During these steps, any disturbance may be presented clinically as a disorder of intersexuality. Hermaphroditism is a state of having ambiguous genitalia due to abnormal sexual differentiation. We experienced three children with ambiguous external genitalia. Two patients were male pseudohemaphrodites, who had a normal male chromosomal constitution of 46XY with incomplete masculinization of the external genitalia and hypospadia. One patient was female pseudohemaphrodite, who had a normal female chromosomal constitution of 46XX with male phallus-like enlarged clitoris associated with posterior labial fusion and single perineal urogenital orifice. There was elevated urinary 17 ketosteriod and hypertrophied adrenal gland on CT scan. We planned staged reconstruction because they were children. First stage reconstruction were surgical restoration of the ambiguous external genitalia to normal appearance and removal of contradictory gonadal structure as early as possible. Second stage reconstruction includes reconstruction of secondary sex characteristics after puberty such as mammaplasty, vaginoplasty, and facial plasty. Hormonal therapy was necessary for normalization of hormonal status and promotion of expression of secondary sex characteristics. In first stage reconstruction, we performed clitoroplasty by use of glans penis island flap with dorsal neurovascular bundle, labioplasty and orchiectomy in two male hermaphroites. All neoclitoris survived well with good preservation of sensation.

ABSTRACT

In our series with old electrical burn around the the wrist, there are several characteristics: for example, bad scarring in palm and volar aspect of wrist and distal forearm, large multiple defects of the flexor tendons, low median and ulnar nerve palsy, and occasionally insufficient blood supply. Between 1992 and 1995, we treated 8 cases of 7 patients with staged reconstruction. 4 patients with bilateral involvements had below-elbow amputee of contralateral upper extremity. The common approachs in each were soft tissue coverage, staged tendon reconstructiuon, and opponensplasty. The length of time between the injury and tendon reconstruction was 9 months on an average. Soft tissue coverage consisted of: 1. free tissue transfer (n=3), 2. abdominal (n=3) or groin (n=2). Total numbers of flexor tendon reconstruction were 26. Among them, staged reconstruction using silicone prosthesis were done in 18 tendons and primary tendon graft following tenolysis were done in 8 tendons. The time between first and second stage tendon reconstruction was 4.13 months. In all cases, opponen-splasty using extensor indicis proprius (n=4), extensor pollicis longus (n=2), and extensor digiti mini- mi (n=l), were performed. Good functional improvement of the hand were obtained in all cases. Patient s satisfaction were much better than the degree of functional improvement of the hand.
