1.Antibiotic Sensitivity of Pathogenic Bacteria of Osteomyelitis: Trend of recent 5 years, especially on Staphylococcus aureus
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(4):667-671
168 patients with osteomyelitis who were admitted and operated in Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital between January in 1972 and December in 1976 ware reviewed and analized. The following results were obtained. 1. 138 strains of bacteria were isolated from 167 pus culture in osteomyelitis, about 82.6% 2. Of these, 112 strains are staphillococcus aureus. (81.2%). 3. Degrees of Sensitivity to antibiotics were as follows: in sensitive order, cephalothin was 99.0%, gentamycin 98.0%, cloxacilnli 94.5%, lincocin 92.0%, kanamycin 86.3%, streptomycin 81.2%, and chloramphenicol 80.6% was resulted, 4. Resistant rate to antibiotics were as follows: in resistant order, penicillin 88.8%, oxytetracycline 79.6%, tetracycline 76.2%, and ampicillin 72.2% was resulted.

Five cases of tennis elbow seen during the time period from Jaunary 1983 to January 1985 had operative treatment. Of the five clinical cases, four elbows in three patients were treated with Nirschl and Pettrone operation. This operative technique included exposure of the extensor carpi radialis brevis, excision of the identified lesion, and repair. The following results were obtained. 1. Correct analysis of the patient's emotional stability was essential prior to undertaking surgical procedure for tennis elbow. 2. The results of Nirschl and Pettrone operation were graded as excellent in three elbows and fair in one.

The spondylolysis is a defective ossification in the pars interarticularis of the neural arches without displacement of the vertebral body. The authors analysed 810 lumbar spines of adult Korean laborers on the basis examined to determine the anatomic characteristics of spondylolysis. The following results were obtained. 1. The overall incidence in laborer was 6.8%. 2. The most frequent site of the involvement was the fifth lumbar vertebra. of radiologic study and 3. Spina bifida in spodylolysis was approximately 1.7 times as frequent as is normally expected. 4. Lumbarization in spondylolysis was approximately 5.8 times as frequent as is normally expected. 5. Sacralization was not found in 55 cases of spondylolysis.

The authors experienced six patients who were admitted in Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Seoul National University Hospital during the period of March 1966 to February 1976 with cystic lesions in calcaneus by radiographic findings. The following results were obtained. Among the six patients, four were osteomyelitis, one was eosinophilic granuloma and the other was fibromyxoid sarcoma. They were all similar in radiographic findings, but were different each other in pathologic findings. 2. Diagnosis is very difficult only with the patients history, hematologic and radiographic findings and the pathologic findings is the most important in the final confirmative diagnosis from benign cystic lesions to malignant one. 3. We describe about the kinds and points of the differential diagnosis. of the other discases from the reported six cases.

Marfan Syndrome is a rare congenital disease characterized by the abnormalities of Sheletal system, eye and cardio-vascular system which was initially desiribed by Marfan in 1896. One case of marfan syndrome was treated at the department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University for multiple skeletal deformities. Moderate degree of scoliosis was treated with Milwaukee brace and finger deformities with Z-plasty and full thickness skin graft.

Two hundreds cases of spine tuberculosis were treated surgically for the period of 7 years between 1970 and 1976 at Seoul National University Hospital and following results were obtained. 1. Many patients failed to be treated with conservative method. Spontaneous fusion was found in 10% of 200 cases with long duration of disease. Anterior fusion was performed in 166 cases and posterior fusion was carried out in 34 cases. In those 34 cases, anterior currettage was combined in 7 cases, anterior fusion combined in 19 cases in which 7 cases were performed anterior and posterior fusion at one stage. Posterior fusion alone was carried out only in 8 cases. 2. Anterior fusion is indicated for: a. decompression in cord involvement b. confirmation of diagnosis c. involvement of one joint space in children d. mild to moderate kyphosis in adult 3. Anterior and posterior fusion is indicated in: a. severe kyphosis for solid funsion b. involvement of more than two joint spaces in children to prevent increasing kyphosis c. one stage operation was technically possible and has many advantages 4. Posterior fusion is indicated in: a. poor general condition b. technically difficult cases.

Between May, 1984 and October, 1986, twenty patients were treated at Han-Ra Hospital of JejuCity and Chung-Ang University Hospital of Seoul with immediate internal fixation with or without bone graft of open fractures of the long bones within three days. Fractured bones were ten tibiae, six femurs, three humeri and one radius and ulna. The injuries were classified on the basis of extent of soft tissue injury as defined by Gustilo and Anderson and consisted of four TypeI injuries, five Type II injuries and eleven Type III injuries. All wounds were closed primarily and radiological follow up was qhecked every month till union occurred. The complications included two deep infections, one non-union and one amputation. This study demonstrates that immediate internal fixation with bone graft when necessary is a beneficial method of treatment of open fractures of the long bones if copious irrigation, adequate debridement and skillful internal fixation technique are given golden period after injury. The results were related to the severity of the initial soft tissue injury and surgical technique and the period of union was not related to the individual bone. Autogenous bone grafting at the time of immediate internal fixation in comminuted or segmental fractures in which interfragmental compression cannot be obtained is recommended.

Concerns have been raised about the potential for hardware failure in interlocking nails and screws especially with small diameter nail. Existing techniques for removing broken interlocking screws can involve trephine over-cutting of the screws, which requires wide bone exposure and creates larger stress risers by enlarging the original screw hole. We present this new technique for removal of broken screws of 2 femoral interlocking nails and 6 tibia interlocking nails. This Steinmann pin ""punch"" technique is to drive the screws through the opposite cortex and soft tissue for removal through a small stab wound. The rationale of this technique is based on the less holding power of the interlocking screw which is not only a machinary screw but also placed on the metaphyseal portion.
