Eighty one cases of the pelvic fractures treated at the orthopedic department of Pusan National University Hospital during the period from January 1960 to August 1970, were analyzed clinically. The results obtained were as follow: 1. The causes of fractures of the pelvic bone were mostly due to traffic accident (83%), industrial injury (7.4%), fall from a height (6%) and direct injury (3.7%). 2. 60% of the pelvic bone fractures were complicated by other bone fractures and soft tissue injuries. 3. The most common complication was the injury of the urinary system, and in neglected cases to treat it, severe sequellae such as stricture and urinary fistula were developed. 4. In cases of perineal laceration, it was possible to associate the infection to the adjacent hip joint by direct spread. 5. Open fracture associating severe soft tissue injury had poor prognosis. 4 cases out of 5deaths had open fractures. 6. The main cause of death was the hypovolemic shock due to intrapelvic bleeding. Therefore, immediate massive transfusion as life-saving measure was stressed.

2.Corticosteroid-Induced Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head: Report of 5 Cases

Five cases of corticosteroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head which were experienced at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College, are reported with review of literature. All patients received corticosteroids for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Prednisolone was the most common drug used, having been given to 3 patients. Two patients has received Dexacortisil alone or in combination with other corticosteroids. There was a considerable variation in the dosage, but in every case the dosage was in excess of physiological replacement. The total dosage administered in each patient was impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy. The duration of corticosteroid treatment varied. The shortest known period of treatment in this series was 12 months, the longest 60 months. The avascular necrosis noted in the eight femoral heads was treated conservatively in three and surgically in five. As a whole, metallic pinning in two cases, associating the fracture of the neck, cup arthroplasty in one and Austin-Moore hip prosthesis in two cases were performed. Five hips restored satisfactory range of motions, despite of the types of surgery.

Fibrous dysplasis is a condition characterized by the metastatic replacement of the medullary component of predominantly long bone with fibrous tissues. This change is responsible for the characteristic features, including bony abnormalities, pathologic fractures and pain. The monostotic form of the fibrous dysplasia occurs more freguent than the polyostotic form. The monostotic fibrous dysplasia does not exhibit the laboratory abnormality, extra-skeletal manifestation or the endocrinopathies associated writh polyostotic disease. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia occurs most frequently in the metaphysis of long bones and the ribs. Only the seven previous cases of vertebral involvement (three cervical, one thoracic, three lumbar spine) in monostotic fibrous dysplsia have been reported. Authors experienced a case of monosotic fibrous dysplasia of the seventh cervical vertebrate, so we report a case with the review of the seven previous reported cases of the monosotic fibrous dysplasia of the spine.

Transcranial cerebral oximetry has been successfully used in a variety of neurosurgical conditions, primarily those associated with disturbed cerebral circulation. It has been also used in intraoperative monitoring of aortic dissection and surgical procedures performed under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. During disending aortic arch exposure, sudden cerebral oxygen saturation change from 63% to 48% was detected. After therapeutic bypass, cerebral oxygen saturation was increased to 65%. During aortic arch repair, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion was applied for 130 min and cerebral oxygen saturation slowly decreased from 65% to 52%. Patient was discharged from hospital without neurologic complication and cognitive funtion disturbance.

A clinical study was made on the 28 cases underwent prostatectomy during the 5 year-period from 1964 to 1968. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The patient underwent prostatectomy revealed increasing tendency in incidence, residual urine in average and being usually in the age range between 60 and 70 years. 2. The degree of prostatic enlargement was mostly grade 11 on rectal palpation and the removed prostate was 49. 3gm. in average weight. 3. Blood loss attributable to the operative manipulation was 1143 cc. in average. The patients underwent prostatectomy were discharged on the average 21.3 days postoperatively in which postoperative indwelling catheter was left in place for 15.3 days in average. 4. Postoperatively the convalescence was uneventful and the residual urine was disappeared or decreased markedly. 5. In the patients underwent prostatectomy via retropubic approach operative blood loss was mild and postoperative duration of indwelling catheterization was short as compared to that via the suprapubic approach. 6. No serious complication other than epididymitis developed in a few patients was observed postoperatively. 7. Suprapubic prostatectomy was found to be suitable for the patient with marked prostatic enlargement while the retropubic one yielded less tissue damage and somewhat rapid postoperative convalescence as compared to the former.
