A case of Cleido-Cranial-Dysostosis, which characterized by deficient formation of the clavicle with delayed and imperfect ossification of the cranium, associated with other anatomical errors, was experienced at The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of Kyung Hee University Hospital in January 73. We report this rare and interest case with reference review.

Of the shoulder injuries in trauma, none are more common than those involving the acromioclavicular joint. There are many procedures described for treatment of injuries of the acromioclavicular separation but difficulties continues to be encounted. To know the functional anatomy of this joint and mechanism of injuries makes more proper treatment. We operated the 16 cases of acromioclavicular separation in the Dept of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyung Hee College of Medicine from January 1975 to August 1978. The following results were obtained. 1. This injuries is more prevalent in male with peak incidence in the third and fourth decades. 2. The mechanism of injuries were traffic accident, falling down and the other direct injuries with in orders. 3. The difference of distance between coracoid process and clavicle gives the information of Type II and Type III. 4. The operative procedures in Type II and Type III are good treatment of acromioclavicular separation.

The principle in the treatment of an elderly patient with an intertrochanteric fracture has swung from traction to internal fixation due to complication such as pneumonia, skin ulcer, and throm-boembolic disease, etc. Since the introduction of the Smith-Peterson nail, numerous internal fixation devices such as I-beam nail, Thornton plate, Jewett nail and Holt nail have been developed by gadgeteers and instrument companies. Recently Compression Hip Screw is popular because of rigid internal fixation. The operative management of intertrochanteric fractures of the hip using Compression Hip Screwplate was performed in thirty-three patients who were followed more than 5 months after operation at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyung Hee University Hospital, from Feb. 1974 to 1978. The results were as follows. 1. Of 33 cases of intertrochanteric fractures, 3 cases were stable fracture and 30 cases were unstable fracture. The commonest type was Tronzo type III with 42 percentage. 2. Dimon-Hughston reduction in 13 cases with unstable fracture and anatomical reduction in 20 cases with stable and unstable fracture were achieved. 3. The average time to fracture union was 12 weeks, minimum in 8 weeks (maximum 20 weeks). The average union time in age group over 50 years was 14 weeks and 11 weeks in age group under 50 years. 4. The average union time was 13 weeks in medial displased group and 10 weeks in anatomical reduction group. 5. Complication after internal fixation were 4 cases e.g., two cases of varus deformity, one case of genitourinary tract infection and one transient peroneal nerve palsy. 6. Compression Hip Screw is a good internal fixation device to treat intertrochanteric fracture.

The vascular graft used for the reconstruction of certain types of vascular occlusive diseases and traumatic damages of the vessel, is very important, especially for the reconstruction of microvascular damages as occuring in hand injuries. Until recently microvascular graft done by microsurgical techniques was rare compared to the many- numbered large vessel grafts. But their biologic fate is currently uncertain. We studied the histologic changes occuring in the microvesseles of 1.5cm in length and 2mm in diameter, which were grafted to the femoral artery of rabbits by recently developed microsurgical techniques. Histologic changes were observed between different donor materials with different time intervals. For 60 rabbits which were used as experimental material, 15 cases received autogenous venous graft (group I). 15 cases autogenous arterial graft (group II) and 15 cases homogenous arterial graft (group I). The observd post-operative dates were 3,7,14.60 and 90 days for each respective group. The results were summerized as follows: 1. The patency rate of grafted vessels using microsurgical technique was 91.2%. 2. The histological changes observed were: a. On the 3rd and 7th day post-operatively, mainly inflammation, formation of thrombus, increased population of endothelium and formation of suture granuloma around the suture site were observed. b. On the 14th day, decreased numbers of inflammatory cells, progressed organization of thrombus, disorganization of the medial muscle layer of the grafted vessels and degeneration of endothelium were observed. c. On the 60th day, inflammatory cells and previously formed thrombi were no longer found and increased amount of fibrosis was prominent instead. 3. The autogenous venous graft group showed less histological changes in every aspect compared to the other two groups. 4. The autogenous arterial graft group showed considerable histological changes, but endothelial lining cells were well preserved. 5. In the homogenous arterial graft group, good patency rate of grafted vessel were observed despite of severe inflammatory change initially. 6. It can be concluded from the above observation that the micrcvascular graft thought to be most useful in recstablishing circulation of injured vessels was the autcgenous venous graft. Homogenous vessel graft and autogenous graft artery were also found to be applicable when autogenous vencous graft is not available.

The clinical picture and CSF findings in cryptococcal meningitis may be identical with those of tuberculous meningitis. The differential diagnosis can be made by finding the budding yeast organism in the counting chamber of in stained smear, the detection of cryptococcal antigen in CSF by the latex agglutination test, and by culture of the fungus on Sabouraud agar. We experienced a case of cryptococcal meningitis in the 48 years old woman, which was confirmed by Indian ink preparation and culture.

A case of malignant synovioma of the right knee joint is presented. Microscopically it showed sarcomatous growth of spindle cells and irregular slit spaces which were lined by tumor cells. A–K amputation has carried out on 10th hospital day and discharged on 30th hospital day without any complications.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of arthrocopic treatment for the avulsion fracture of intercondylar eminence of the tibia and of the technique of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation through pull-out suture method. Between January 1995 and May 1997, three patients were underwent arthroscopic reduction and suture fixation for type 0 of avulsion fracture of intercondylar eminence of tibia and were followed up. The result of two patients were graded as normal and one as nearly normal by the criteria of the International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC) rating scale. The advantages of this technique include no retained hardware and ability to treat comminuted fracture(type g ). We describe technique of arthroscopic reduction and suture fixasion for displaced avulsion fractures, including those with comminution of intercondylar eminence of tibia.
