Here, we report a case of artificial prosthesis of the knee joint combining with homogenous bone transplantation for the treatment of giant cell tumor of the right distal femur. At one year follow up, the patient complains almost no pain nor tenderness at operative site and ambulates with partial weight bearing with crutches. The X-ray finding shows satisfactory bony union with progressive bony remodelling.

Supracondylar fracture is the most frequent injury of the elbow and frequently accompanies complications in children. Seventy two cases of supracondylar fractures have been treated and managed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College during the period from Jan. 1969 to Dec. 1972. The evaluation of fracture was done according to the classification of Holmberg and Hoyer. Among 72 cases of the supracondylar fracture, the most common type is 29 cases of Grade 2: (40.2%). Most cases were treated conservatively, and various method of treatment were adopted according to the condition of fracture. Residual angular deformities after successful manipulative reductiion can be accurately evaluated roentgenographically by the Baumanns method. Good results were obtained in 62.6%, fair results in 33.3%, and poor results in 4.1%. The incidence of cubitus varus deformity is 37.5%. There were no instance of ischemic contracture and no permanent neurological deficit in fracture cases.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the causative factors of the false positive CT findings of parametrial invasions of cervial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we analysed 17 parametria of 14 patients with the diseases staged over lib on CT, but confirmed to be under stage Ila on pathology. The CT findings were retrospectively reviewed, and compared with pathologic findings. RESULTS: The causes of false postive diagnosis of parametrial invasions on CT were prominent cardinal ligaments (n=12), vaginal fornix(n=3), and prominent uterine vessels(n=2). CONCLUSION: Familiarity with these CT finding may be helpful in avoiding false positive diagnosis of parametrial invasion in patients with uterine cervical carcinoma.

In the unusual manifestation of right upper lobe collapse confusing with mediastinal or parenchymal mass, both alteration of the pulmonary vessels and shifting pattern of the collapsed lobe to the periphery on supine positionare the key to the diagnosis of it rather than mediastinal or parenchymal mass. The mechanisms of these unusual manifestation s are obscure, however lobar torsion and gravity factor are considered to be a main process. Authors have experienced 2 cases of unusual manifestations of right upper lobe collapse due to bronchogenic carcinomaduring resent 2 years in Kyung Hee University hospital, and prsent radiologic findings.

In order to investigate the validity of the Steel's gluteus medius and minimus advancement, we reviewed 21 hips in 14 spastic cerebral palsy patients, who had advancement of the gluteus medius and minimus insertion for the correction of in-toeing gait between November 1985 and February 1992. The procedure was limited to those patients who had moderate to severe in-toeing gait with positive Steel's stretch reflex. There were eight boys and six girls. The average age at the time of surgery was 6.7 years(2.9 years-11.9 years). The procedure was performed on both hips in seven patients. Of the 14 patients, nine had diplegia, three hemiplegia, and two paraplegia. The average follow-up time was 4.3 years(1 year-8.5 years). In-toeing gait was converted to neutral or physiologic out-toeing gait in 17 hips(81%), excessive out-toeing in 2 cases(9.5%), and mild residual in-toeing in 2 cases(9.5%), Steel's stretch reflex, which was present in all cases preoperatively, disappered in 19 hips(90.5%) postoperatively, Abductor power, however, decreased from 4+ to 4− in average postoperatively, Among the 16 hips, which had no Trendelenburg sign or gait preoperatively, 8 hips(50%) showed positive Trendelenburg sign and gait postoperatively. In conclusion, Steel's gluteus medius and minimus advancement appears to be effective in the correction of in-toeing gait, but there is high risk of weakening the abductor power.
