Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the limb, however its surgical treatment varies from simple excision to reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to present out classification of polydactyly in which the type of surgery was concerned primarily. Two hundred and thirty five digits(134 fingers and 101 toes) in 188 patients were operated from 1980 to 1992. We divided the polydactyly into two types-the simple type, in which the extradigit arises from only one digit, and the complex type in which the extradigit connects more than two adjacent main digits. The simple type was subdivided into joint type(type I), in that the extradigit has its own joint in its origine; epiphyseal type(type II), the extradigit share common epiphysis with main digit; and hypoplastic type(type III), the extradigit is connected only by soft tissue to the main digit. The epiphyseal type(type II) was further divided into subtype A(type IIA), in that the origin seems to be directly derived from the epiphysis; and subtype B(type IIB), which resemble an osteochondroma. Type III and type IIB can be treated by simple excision, however the type I and type IIB can be treated by arthroplasty with or without osteotomy as well as excision of extradigit. Result of surgical treatment in 1 digit of the simple form, which siginifies the extradigit arising from only one digit, are good in 193 digits(91%), fair 14(6.6%), and poor 5(2.4%) after an average follow-up period of 20 months. Our principles in the surgical treatment of polydactyly was treatment according to the type, and early treatment.

Collagen is the major structural protein in the human body, especially in connective tissues. There are more than 13 types of collagen. Among them, type II collagen is a main component of articular cartilage structure. Altered immunological conditions against type II collagen may be closely related to the pathologic conditions of joint, especially arthritis. Since 1977, animal model for collageninduced arthritis(CIA) has been developed and used in the investigation of arthritis. In those animals, high titers of anti-type II collagen antibody were noticed. Pathologic findings were similar to rheumatoid arthritis of human, which suggested that rheumatoid arthritis might be one of the autoimmune diseases. There had been many reports about elevation of serum and synovial level of anti-type II collagen antibody in rheumatoid arthritis patients. But majority of them did not discriminate the antibody titers according to the type of immunoglobulin(i.e. IgG, IgM). And the question whether the elevated antibody titers are cause or effect of the arthritis is still in controversy. In this study, the serum levels of anti-type II collagen antibody were determined in 82 persons(35 degenerative arthritis patients, 24 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 22 normal controls without any joint problem) via ELISA method. In each person the serum IgG, IgM and IgG+M+A antibody levels against bovine type IIcollagen and chicken typeII collagen were determined individually. Statistical evaluation of these data among degenerative arthritis group, rheumatoid arthritis group and normal control group was performed. The results were as follows; 1. Degenerative arthritis group revealed significant elevation of anti-type II collagen antibody(IgG, IgG+M+A) compared to normal control(p < 0.05). 2. Rheumatoid arthritis group showed significant elvation of IgM and IgG+M+A compared to normal control. 3. Between degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis group, no sigificant difference was noticed. 4. Rheumatoid arthritis group showed significant increase of IgM antibody level compared to normal control. 5. Female rheumatoid arthritis group showed significant increase of IgM level compared to female degenerative arthritis group. These findings suggested that the elevation of anti-type II collagen antibody titer is not specific for rheumatoid arthritis and related with general pathologies destroying articular cartilage. And it is suggested that anti-type II collagen antibody associated with rheumatoid arthritis is mainly IgM proportion, especially in female patients. So further investigation of anti-type II collagen antibody associated with rheumatoid arthritis is needed to target IgM antibody.

In 1958, Jackson first reported on the use of proximal tibial osteotomy in the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Subsequently, various osteotomy techniques have been reported. The varus deformity of the knee associated with osteoarthritis can be corrected by realigning the joint and thereby shifting the line of weight bearing to the compartment with preserved articular cartilage. This procedure has been found to relieve pain, improve function and arrest the progress of the condition. Twenty five cases of genu varum associated with osteoarthritis were treated by high tibial osteotomy at Dept. of O.S., Seoul National University Hospital, from July 1976 to June 1983. And the following results were obtained. 1. In a review of 25 high tibial osteotomies, excellent and good results were noted in 80% of the knees after average follow-up 2.9 years. 2. Postoperative valgus angles, ranging from 5° to 20°, were averaged to be 10.8°. 3. Though some authors indicate the obesity as one of risk factors, we obtained satisfactory results in 25 knees of obese patients.

Fetal bilateral renal agenesis is a lethal congenital anomaly. An early and reliable prenatal diagnosis is extremely important as it may offer options for pregnancy termination as early as possible. The criteria for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of bilateral renal agenesis are severe oligohydramnios, nonvisualization of the bladder, and the empty renal fossa. However, severe oligohydramnios makes it difficult to diagnose the disease because of poor sonographic resolution. We present two cases of bilateral renal agenesis, one is diagnosed by ultrasonography after amnioinfusion at 24 weeks gestation, the other is diagnosed postnatally after term delivery.
