We analyze ninty-seven cases of Colles fractures treated with closed reduction and sugar tong splint immobilization and followed for more than 1 year at Seoul National University from January 1981 to Decmber 1985. The results of this study were as follows; l. All of 97 cases were closed fractures and the incidence was high in females who aged over 6th decades. The main cause of this injury was slipping down accident comprising of 68.0%. 2. 63 cases (64.9%) were simple extra-articular fractures, and 34 cases (35.1%) were comminuted intra-articular fractures. 3. In a group of simple extra-articular fracture the functional end result was satisfactory in 88.9%, so closed reduction and sugar tong splint were thought to be a good procedure in this group. 4. In a group of comminuted intra-articular fracture the functional end result was satisfactory in 58.9% only. In the cases which show unacceptable loss of position during first two weeks of routine sugar tong splint immobilization we feel another technique is indicated, such as.pin and plaster immobilization or percutaneous pinning. 5. The main cause of unsatisfactory result was malunion, which was produced by loss of reduction position.

We report a case who has been diagnosed as lipodytrophia centrifugalis abdomialis juvenilis. The patient was a 9 year-old girl. At the age of 4 years, these well-defined, depressed lesions appeared in both ing-uinal areas and gradually spread to the labia major, the abdomen and both flank areas and, by 9 years, had reached lower portion of the chest. Biopsy specimen from the depressed lesion showed absence of the subcutsneous fat. The epidermal appendage were well preserved. There were lympho-histiocytic infiltrations around the blood vessels in the upper dermis.

Congenital coxa vara is a rare congenital deformity, seen in infancy and childhood and the ratio of unilateral to bilateral is 3:1. The deformity does not become manifest until after birth and usually not until the age of walking. Pathologically, it consists of a progressively increasing acuteness of the neck-shaft angle;shortnees of the neck; a vertical direction of the epiphyseal plate; an oblique defect of the neck; a greater trochanter extending upward toward the ilium as a besk; a shortened femur; a secondary degenerative changese in the acetabulum due to malposition. We have experienced a case of bilateral congenital coxa vara treated with valgue osteotomy and the case review is presented.

The common bile duct and the duct of Wirsung cojoin at the level of the duodenum, forming the major. papilla of Vater. Existence of a double major papilla, i.e., two neighboring independent papillary structure:, is infrequent. In our endoscopy unit we have experienced one case of double papilla of Vater wherein canulation of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct could be accom plished through either orifice independently.

Recently data about performances in radiology department tend to increase rapidly and appropriate use of computer system is needed to monitor variuos jobs including scheduling of the patient, reporting of radiologic examination and film library management. The authors describe experiences in computerizing several jobs of radiology departement using Aplle II personal computer during last uear, and our experiences suggest that with appropriate soft ware and peripheral devices, personal computer can handle relatively large amount of informations about a certain functions in radiology department. The authors also put emphasis on the point that meticulous characterization and cocumentation of data is mandatory for effective use of computer system and should be done by radiologist who use or want to use computer system.

Three cases of orbital rhabomyosarcoma are reported here. Histological studies comfirmed the lesion 1:0 be the alveolar type in all cases. This tumor is a rare disease entity in Orient than Europe and America and accordingly, rarely encountered in our ophthalmologic practice, although it is the commonest primary malignant orbital tumor in children. Of the three cases reported here one occurred in adu1t and the other two in children. Case I. This 15 month old male showed a swelling of the left upper lid toward the medial side for 2 months and visited to our hospital on March 10, '69 with complaints of progressive swelling on the region with ptosis. The eye ball was slightly displaced toward the lower temporal side and ocular movement is limitted to upward. On palpation, the childthumb sized tumor was palpable in the upper nasal portion of the orbit. On excision of the tumor, the mass was found to be originated from the superior oblique muscle. The mass round measuring 2.5 X 2.5 X 1.5 cm in size. Histological diagnosis was alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma without cross-striation. No follow-up could be done. Case II. This patient of 15 month old male showed a swelling on the right lower lid existed 6 months and visited to our hospital on September 8, '69. The physical examination revealed that the left eye and the other routine examinations were within normal limits. The right eye showed the swelling of the lower lid, congestion of the palpebral conjunctiva, limitted movement of the eye ball toward the lower side and a palpable bean-sized mass on the region. The excision of tumor was performed under the general anesthesia. This mass was attached with the inferior oblique muscle with no other recognizable adhesion seemingly originating from that muscle. The mass was round and oval in shape, measuring 2 X 2 X 1 cm in size, diagnosis was alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The post-operative follow-up studies were unavailable. Case III. This case in one of adult alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. At the age of 25 years, this man showed a proptosis of the right eye associated with migrain like headache, ocular pain and visual disturbance. This symptoms existed 6 months and gradually increased in intensity. On the physical examination, the left eye was found to be normal. The skull and orbit x-ray and c.b.c. were with in normal limits. The right eye revealed about 5mm proptosis compared with left eye and the adult thumb sized tumor was palpated on the inner side of the lower orbital rim. The visual acuity was in zero. The right optic disc was edematous and elevated about 4.0 D. The pupil showed marked dilatation and the light reflex was abscent and ocular movement was markedly limitted and eye ball is deviated toward the upper side. Under the general anesthesia, the exenteration of the orbit associated with the removal of tumor was carried out with no untoward complications. Origin of the mass was the inferior oblique muscle penetrating to the deeper part of the optic foraman and optic nerve was surrounded by the tumor completely Histology confirmed alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Follow-up study was impossible.
