Since the first attemt of internal fixation not much more than a century ago, implants have come to play an important role in orthopaedic surgery. Yet little has been reported about complications which may result from implant surgery. During the period of May 1980 to April 1984, 32 cases of fixation failures were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hallym College, Kang Nam Sacred Heart Hospital and results were obtained as follows: 1. The most common area involved femoral shaft, but the highest rate was distal femur. 2. The most common period of failure was between 2 to 4 months postoperatively. 3. The leading cause of failure was remaining defects at fracture site. 4. The authors recommend accurate reduction of fracture and bone graft, if necessary, adequate immobilization postoperatively and co-coperation of patient to avoid failure of implant.

The incidence of tracheal stenosis is increased because of the longterm respiratory care with endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy. Present therapeutic modalities for the relief of an tracheal or bronchial stenosis include laser resection, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, bougienation, stent insertion, dilatation with balloon catheter and finally reconstruction surgery. However, reconstruction surgery have some problems in ventilation during anesthetic management. Small sized tube insertion through lesion, high frequency jet ventilation, cardiopulmonary bypass are served to resolve ventilatory problem. We experienced a case of severe tracheal stenosis due to tracheostomy. The stenotic lesion was 2.5 cm above the carina, 3 mm in diameter and length of the stenotic segment was 1 cm. We used bougienation with endotracheal tube replace obturator for the ventilation before the reconstruction surgery and the patient was successfully managed without complications.

We report a case of secondary anetoderma due to pilomatricoma. A 15-year-old girl presented with a soft, 1.5 × 1.5cm in size, atrophic, pinkish and bulged-out lesion overlying the palpable subcutaneous mass on the left upper arm for several months. Histologic examination revealed the reduced number of dermal elastic fibers overlying a typical pilomatricoma.

Authors carried out an investigation of the helminthic parasites of the wild birds in Korea. Most wild birds were collected from Kyoung Sang Do, Kyoung Kee Do and Seoul area from September 1970 to March 1973. A total of 70 wild birds, 19 species were examined, which comprised as follows; 10 Anas platyrhynchus, 10 Anas fulicata, 4 Anas poeciolorhyncha zonorhyncha, 8 Anser albifrone albifrone, 5 Anser cygonopsis cygnoid, 10 Aythya fuligula, 6 Gallicrex cinerea, 2 Porgana fusca, 2 Phisianum calichius korponri, 4 Sterptopilla orientalis, Podiceps cristatus, Larus crasirotatus, Malantta fusca, Garis artcus, Buetes buteo, Egretta alba, Starmus philpiens, Bombycilla granulus. Trematode parasites found from six species of the wild birds. Echinostomatidae has been found from intestine of the Anas platyrhynchus platyrhynchus, Anas poeciolorhyncha zonorhyncha, Anas fulcata. Notocatylus attenuatis found from intestine of the Podiceps cristatus, Anas fulcata. Catylurus japonicus was found from rectum of the Anas platyrhynchus platyrhynchus, Anas poeciolorhyncha zonorhyncha.

Fifty-two cases of neurilemmoma, which occurred in the skin and soft tissue and filed at the Department of Clinical Pathology, Catholic University Medical College from 1974 to 1984, were included for the clinical study. Forty four cases whose microscopic slides were available were reviewed for the histopathologic observation. The results were as follows : Clinical observations 1) The average age of the patients was 42.8% years old, and the average duration of tlie tumor was 3.9 years. 2) Eight cases were acompanied with tenderness and cases with tingling sensation. Clinica] signs described prior to biopsy were palpable mass(15), slow growing mass (8), palpable cystic mass(6) and hard mass(4). 3) The mean diameter was 2.6m (0.45cm-8cm), and the frequent sites were head and neck (32.7%), upper extremities(28.8%), lower extremities (23.11%) and trunk (15.4%) in decreasing orders. Histopathologic observations 1) 33 cases were composed of both Antoni A and type B with variable composition, but only Antoni type A was observed in 6 cases and Antoni type B in 5 Cases. 2) On the areas of Antoni type B, there were several degenerative changes including cystic change (52.3%), hemorrhage(50%), hyalinization(27.3%), necrosis(25%), and calcification(4.5%). 3) In 3 cases out of 44, the tumor was observed in the dermis and the tumors composed of Antoni A only occurred on the tongue, neck, and upper arm.
