A bilateral gastrocnemius tertius muscle and a unilateral accessory soleus muscle were encountered during the routine educational dissection studies. The right gastrocnemius tertius muscle consisted of one belly, but the left one of two bellies. On the left side, the superficial belly of the gastrocnemius tertius muscle had its origin from an area just above the tendon of the plantaris muscle, the deep belly from the tendon of the plantaris muscle. The accessory soleus muscle originated from the posteromedial aspect of the tibia and soleal line of the tibia and inserted to the medial surface of the calcaneus. On the right side, the gastrocnemius tertius muscle had its origin from the lateral condyle of the femur, and inserted to the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The co-existence of both gastrocnemius tertius and accessory soleus muscle has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported.

Fractures of the scapula are relatively uncommon injuries and most can be treated satisfactorily with non-operative methods. But scapular fractures are being seen with increasing frequency in our mechanized society, specially in patients who have multiple injuries. So most injuries were related high energy, that residual deformities were high and related to the residual symptoms. Authors had done open reduction and internal fixation with plate in the four cases of the scapular fracture and analyzed that results.

Author recently experienced four cases of Osteogensis Imperfecta belonged to fetal, infantile and tarda forms respectively. One case of fetal form exhibited severe skeletal deformities in association with multiple fractures, and died five hours after birth. Other three cases have been treated at the department by osteotomy and cast immobilization.

OBJECTIVETo analyze and summarize the medical treatment experience following separation of thoracopagus conjoined twins.

METHODThe clinical manifestations and the medical therapy of a pair of thoracopagus conjoined twins were analyzed. The conjunction of the female twins was from 5 cm above the nipple to the umbilicus. They also suffered from complex congenital heart diseases. At the 17th day of their lives, they were surgically separated. One girl died after the operation, the other survived but experienced heart failure, sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction (including liver, blood and kidney et al). In order to protect or maintain the main organ function, the vital signs and the objective indexes were monitored continually, such as blood routine test, C reactive protein, hepatorenal function, bacterial culture, and galactomannan test, blood gas analysis and chest radiogram.

CONCLUSIONIt is important to protect the main organ function and prevent or control infection. The early surgical correction of congenital heart disease may contribute to recovery of the children.
