In the fractures and dislocations of the carpus, prompt and accurate diagnosis is the prime prerequisite for restoring function to this most complicated joint in the body. And then, early precise reduction and continuous maintenance of the reduced position until ligamentous and bone healing is complete provide the best chance of achieving a satisfactory restoration of function. We analysed forty five cases of fractures and dislocations of the carpus which were treated for 5 years from Jan. 1984 to Dec. 1988 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Hallym University. The following results were obtained; l. Of the total 45 injuries, scaphoid fractures were seen in 32(71.1%), other carpal bone fractures except scaphoid in 13 patients(28.9%), and carpal bone dislocation and fracture- dislocations in 11 patients(24.4%). 2. Carpal scaphoid fracture 1) 19 of the 32 patients(59.4%) had an associated ipsilateral upper extremity injury. 2) This fracture was common in the young male. 3) A union rate(95.6%) was achieved using a usual conservative treatment for undisplaced racture(14), operative treatment for displaced(18). 4) The mean time to radiological union for all fractures was 11.1 weeks. Old fracture by SotoHall classification took the longest time to union(18.2 weeks), subacute fracture 13 weeks, and acute fracture 9 weeks. 5) 10 cases were treated for nonunion, 5 of 10 nonunions were classified as type (50%). 2 cases showed ultimately nonunion in spite of various sorts of treatment, which belonged to waist fracture. 3. Other carpal bone fractures except scaphoid were seen in 13(15 bones) of 45 injuries, and pisiform(4) and triquetrum(4) fractures were common. 4. Carpal dislocation and fracture-dislocations were seen in 11 of the 45 injuries and dorsal transscaphoid perilunate dislocations(4) were common. These were treated by C.R. and cast immobilization or O.R. and K-wire fixation relatively good results were obtained.

Although several histopathological changes have been developed in frozen shoulder, frozen shoulder is mostly accompanied by the changes of the rotator cuff which has the most important function in movement and has a role in stabilizing the shoulder joint. The changes of the rotator cuff in frozen shoulder have not been reported in Korea yet, but Simon reported that there was an attenuation of the rotator cuff in frozn shoulder. Accordingly, we observed the changes of the rotator cuff in frozen shoulder by ultrasonography, which has no rsdiation exposure and is non-invasive. The authors practiced the shoulder ultrasonography on 36 patients with a pain and limitation of motion in shoulder at the Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University, from March in 1988 to August in 1988. The results are as follows ;1) Ultrasonography is thought to contribute a great deal in detection of the changes of the rotator cuff, especially of the thickness of the rotstor cuff. 2) Among 36 patients, the thickness of the rotator cuff of 35 patients was 6.494+1.008 mm (M+SD) in the affected shoulder and 6.475+1.052 mm(M+SD) in the unaffected shoulder. In only one pstient, the thickness of the rotator cuff was 1.68+0.58 mm(M+SD) in the affected shoulder and 553+1.16mm(M+SD) in the unaffected shoulder. Theres no significant change in the thickness of the rotator cuff measured by ultrasonography in frozen shoulder. 3) Ultrasonography is an excellent diagnostic method in detecting the rupture of the rotator cuff in frozen shoulder.

A 25-year-old woman developed generalized urticaria and an anaphylactic syndrome of sudden onset while she was being treated for her decubitus ulcer with chlorhexidine antiseptic solution. Prick test with 0.5% chlorhexidine produced a wheal in a few minutes. A passive intradermal transfer test (PK test) to her mother was positive. These enabled us diagnose her as having an immunologic contact urticaria to chlorhexidine.

Sweet's syndrome is an important cutaneous sign of underlying myeloproliferative disorder. The majority of cases have occurred with acute leukemia, primarily of the myelogenous type. We described a case of Sweet's syndrome in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome that preceded acute myelogenous leukemia by 9 months.

Generalized lipodyst,rophy is characterized by generalized loss of body fat, and is asociated vith metabolic ahnormalities, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia., and hypertriglyceridemia. like acanthosis nigricans, generalized lipodystrophy is a cutaneous marker of insulin re.istant diabetes. We report. herein a twenty year old female witti both classic generalized lipodystripin and acanthosis nigricans, in association with insulin resistant diabetes.
