Various methods of internal fixation have been used for the treatment of femoral fractures. In 1970, Ender and Simon-Weidner described their method of flexible intramedullary nailing for the treatment interterochanteric and subtrochteric fractures. This method was widely used and obtained good result but Pankovich described that the intertrochsnteric fraeture, particullary unstable, is the worst indication due to many complications and difficulties in the procedure, We used flexible intramedullary nailing fot 115 cases of the femoral fractures from Jan. 1985 to Mar, 1988 at the Department of Orthopedir Surgery, Soonchunhyang University Hopsital with following results. 1. The intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and shaft fractures were healed within 12.6 weeks, 15.8 weeks and 17.3 weeks respectively, however, unstable or comminuted fractures took more time to be healed. 2. The most frequent complication was shortening (20 cases), flollowed by nail migration, broken nail, delayed and non-union in orders. 3. Nonunion and delayed union were frequently occured at the distal shaft fractures and developed broken nail. the healing time is longer than those of other sites, So, the flexible intramedullary nailing on the distal shaft fractures of femur may be inappropriate. 4. In 8 cases of unstable or comminuted fractures of subtrochanteric and shaft, open reduction and cerclage wiring were done before nail insertion. We could prevent shortening and start early weight bearing and obtain the good result of bone union. 5. In 8 cases of locking with screw through the nail eyes, there was no nail migration and knee joint pain was almost none. 6. Among 4 cases of secondary Ender nailing and bone graft, one case was infected and the others were united after 11.7 weeks. In nonunion, this method may be useful. 7. Varization and shortening were developed in the unstable intertrochanteric fractures but clinically they were not significant. We recommed ender nailing for the unstable intertrochanteric fractures for experienced surgeons.

Most patients who have spondylolysis dont's need surgical treatment. However, for the patients who have no response to conservative treatment, surgical treatment may be indicated. In 1970, Buck reported the operative technique that the used two screws between the pars defect and lamina followed by bone graft. In patients who have spondyloysis, pain in the back seems to be due to instability and irritation of nerve root by the abnormal motion of the loose neural arch and granulation tissue. For period of 7 years from May, 1984 to March, 1991, twelve patients with spondyloysis who had no response to conservative treatment were treated with Buck's operation and were analyzed. Following results were obtained: 1. The age of the patients was 24 years in average ranging from 14 to 40 years. 2. The level of the lesion was L5 in 10 cases, L4 in 2 cases. 3. Preoperative clinical feature included low back pain in 12 cases, refered pain in 2 cases. 4. Clinical sympotoms were improved in 83%, and the follow up result of the operation: excellent 16.7%, good 66.6% and poor 16.7%.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the reproductive outcomes of women undergoing microsurgical reversal of tubal sterilization at age 36 years or older. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A series of 133 patients who received microsurgical reversal of the previously sterilized fallopian tubes at Seoul National University Hospital from July, 1980 to January, 1992 was reviewed and evaluated for clinical characteristics, pregnancy rates, and factors influencing the outcome of tubal reversal. RESULTS: Of 133 patients, 78 (58.6%) had been sterilized by laparoscopic cautery. Loss of children was a leading cause for tubal reversal. The mean interval from tubal sterilization to tubal reversal was 65.0 months. The overall pregnancy rate was 52.6% (70/133), and the mean interval was 9.4 months from tubal reversal to pregnancy. Excluding 7 patients who were lost to follow-up, 76 pregnancies were confirmed in 63 patients with the delivery rate per patient of 66.7% (42/63). There were no significant differences in age, duration of tubal sterilization, postoperative tubal length between pregnant and non-pregnant groups. CONCLUSIONS: Microsurgical reversal of tubal sterilization could be a justifiable method in women 36 years age or older.
