PURPOSE: We wanted to analyze the causes of fixation failure after performing compression hip screw fixation for intertrochanteric fracture and we wanted to evaluate the methods to mange this type of failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1999 to August 2005, 15 patients who underwent operation due to fixation failure after compression hip screw fixation for intertrochanteric fracture were evaluated, with at least 1 year follow up, for the fracture type, the status of the reduction, the aspects of failure, the causes of the failure and the clinical and radiologic results after operation. RESULTS: There were 7 cases of cut out by the hip screw, 1 case of hip screw breakage, 1 case of dislodging the hip screw, 2 cases of excessive sliding of the hip screw, 2 cases of plate breakage and 2 cases of fixation loss of the plate. The failure of cases was due to incorrect choice of the implants, and that of 9 cases was due to technical error. The Harris Hip score was an average of 67.8 for 10 cases of failed arthroplasty at the last follow up and 88.4 for 4 cases of re-fixation with a 95 degree angled blade plate, and bone union was achieved at a minimum of 5 months. CONCLUSION: It is important to choose an adequate implant and a precise technique to achieve a successful result for fixation of unstable intertrochanteric fracture, and refixation with a 95 degree angled blade plate could be considered for the management of failed intertrochanteric fracture with arthroplasty.

Neurolymphomatosis, which is defined as a peripheral nerve infiltration of lymphoma, is an infrequent complication of systemic lymphoma and the isolated involvement of the peripheral nerve as a sign of recurrence is very rare. Here, we report a case with neurolymphomatosis presented as a mononeuropathy multiplex and is the first reported case in Korea. With potent chemotherapy, the blood-nerve barrier may have a critical role in the isolated recurrence of lymphoma in the peripheral nervous system.

Blood types are very important because they are associated with blood transfusion, the diagnosis of hematological diseases and the related diseases. Rh system is a major blood group system as ABO system. Major Rh antigen is Rh (D) antigen. Minor Rh antigens are Rh (C), (c), (E), (e) antigen. Most of people have Rh (C), (c), (E), (e) antigen but some people don't have these antigens. The hematologists call this blood type -D-/-D- blood phenotype. -D-/-D- phenotype is blood group that have (D) antigen without (C), (c), (E), (e) Antigen. This blood type is rare throughout the world. Especially, fetal hydops associated with anti-C,-c,-E,-e antibody is very rare. We experienced a case of fetal hydrops associated with anti-C,-c,-E,-e antibodies and report it with a brief of literatures.

Basal temporal language area (BTLA), demonstrated by electric stimulation of the cortex in epilepsy patients rarely cause significant language problems after it resection. Recently, we experienced a patient who developed severe language deficits after the resection of BTLA. To characterize the language function of BTLA we compared the language characteristics in our patient with those of the previously reported characteristics of BTLA observed by either its resection or electrical stimulation. The BTLA was thought to play a major function in access to naming pool and in the comprehension partly through Wernicke's area. Also the visually associated language function, reading aloud and reading comprehension were known to be more damaged than visually unassociated function. Previous studies showed that BTLA identified by electrical stimulations in patients with epilepsy was usually found to be clinically insignificant for only minor and transient ]anguage deficits being noticed after its surgical resection with only rare exceptions. Our patient developed severe language deficits which lasted for at least several weeks after the resection of the epileptogenic lesion located in the BTLA. She had a calcified granuloma in inferior temporal gyrus and the WADA test in this patient revealed a strongly lateralized language and memory function to the resected temporal lobe. The precise neural mechanisms of severe language deficits found in this patient in unclear, however, our experience suggest that BTLA is involved in the language function to a significant degree at least in some patients. Further prospective investigations to preoperatively identify the patient group at risk of developing severe language deficits after the resection of BTLA are needed.
