There are several rnethods to correct the tibial bony defect including resection, cement filling, autograft or allograft and metal augmentation. The purpose of this study is to find the adequate treatment method of tibia bony defect through analysis of the result with above methods. From Sep. 1993 to Dec. 1997, the authors analyzed 93 cases of tibial medial bony defect corrected by overresection of lateral condyle, allograft and metal wedge or block among 358 cases of primary total knee arthroplasty(TKA) operated at Asan Medical Center. All cases were devided into four groups according to the treatment method; group A(31 cases) with overresection of lateral condyle, group B(37 cases) with metal wedge, group C(21 cases) with metal block and group D(4 cases) with allograft. The mean follow up period was 23.6 months(12 56 months). The results were as follows, 1. There were no definite statistical difference between group A, B, C and D in HSS knee score, ROM, correction of deformity. But in group D, there is one case of loss of the correction. 2. Loosening of the implant was not noted, but 17 cases of mild bony resorption was found just beneath the implant. It was particularly prominent in group B(9 cases) than group A(5 cases) and C(3 cases). 3. Among 4 cases of allograft, one has developed collapse of allograft. 4. 3 cases of deep infection developed only in group C, which were followed by revision TKA. Although further follow up study should be carried out, we concluded that resection of lateral tibial condyle, allograft, metal augmentation is a good substitute to the correction of the tibial bony defect in primary TKA.

PURPOSE: To determine the necessity of site-specific bone mineral density(BMD) measurement and the difference between the BMD of the two femora using DXA in the evaluation of osteoporosis. MATERIALS & METHODS: Total BMD and regional BMD(Lumbar spine, femoral neck, Ward's area, intertrochanter area) were measured on seventy-eight healthy persons without previons diseases, and the statistical significance analyzed. RESULTS: Total BMD did not reliably reflect the site-specific BMD. There was a high correlation between BMD in opposing femora. Correlation coefficients between the femoral neck, Ward's area, trochanter area were 0. 939, 0.874 and 0.916 respectively. CONCLUSION: We conclude that a measuremnt of site-specific BMD is necessory because the total BMD can not reliably predict the regional BMD. The measurement of BMD in one femur can predict the BMD of the contralateral femur. If there is no history of femoral neck disease, unilateral BMD measurement is recommended for femoral evaluation.

Polymorphic reticulosis(PMR) is a unique clinicopathological entity of unknown etiology, which commonly present as an aggressive, necrotizing lesion of the upper respiratory tract. It is a separate nosologic entity from Wegener's granulomatosis and idiopathic mildine destructive disease. The origin of the cells composing polymorphic reticulosis has been controversial. We reviewed 15 cases of polymorphic reticulosis with respect to clinical and histologic bases, and immunohistochemical studies were done using UCHLI (CD45RO), as a T cell marker, CD-20 as a B cell marker and alpha- I -antichymotrypsin as a histiocytic marker. Almost all cases showed characteristic histologic and immunohistochemical features similar to those of peripheral T cell lymphoma. Thus, this study indidcated that polymorphic reticulosis is a type of malignant lymphoma of T cell lineage.

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been accepted as the rusk factor of major chronic diseases in our society. And nutritional assessment is the important issue in respect to obesity evaluation. A self-administrated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire of which validity is recognized is used in nutritional assessment. But the relationship between nutritional assessment resulted from the questionnaire and the obesity index has not been built until now, so we studied about this relationship. METHODS: Among 324 adults who had visited health screening center from June'95 to August '96, 270 adults were evaluated except who had any chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus, pulmonary tuberculosis, thyroid disease by screening data or low calorie diet for aimed weight loss or inadequate Questionnaire. Nutritional intake was assessed by the self-administrated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. We evaluated the activity grade, obesity indices such as body mass index(BMI), waist to hip ratio(WHR), percent body fat using bioelectrical impedance fatness analyzer and serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride. Then we examined the correlation between obesity Indices and nutritional variables each other. We analyzed these results using Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: We evaluated for a group of 164 men and 106 women whose mean age was 43.9 years, mean BMI was 23.2kg/m2, mean WHR was 0.85 and mean percent body fat was 21.2%. Correlation coefficient between calorie intake to recommended calorie ratio(ICRCR) and BMI was 0.13(P<0.05), WHR was 0.11(P> OR =0.05), and percent body fat was 0.07(P> OR =0.05). Fats intake to recommended fats ratio(IFRFR) and obesity indices didn't show the significant correlation between them. We could not find the significant correlation between cholesterol intake and serum total cholesterol, triglyceride but the significant negative correlation between cholesterol intake and serum HDL-cholesterol(r=-0.14) was found. CONCLUSIONS: Only BMI among obesity indices and ICRCR showed low(r=0.13) correlation coefficient although it is significant. Our results shows that obesity is the complex syndrome influenced by genetic, social, psychological, medical variables besides nutritional impacts.

The authors present a case of intussusception of the vermiform appendix with ade nocarcinoma. A 35-year-old male with lower abdominal pain and anemia was found to have an intussusception of the appendix associated with an adenocarcino-ma. The preoperative diagnosis was cecal cancer but we detected the iutussuscept-ion of the appendix with an adenocarcinoma during operation. Patient was managed with right hemicolectomy and has been followed up.

PURPOSE: This study was to measure the angle between the femoral epicondylar axis and the femoral posterior condylar axis, to clarify which axis can be used as a guideline to achieve proper rotational align- ment of femoral component in total knee arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From Jan. 1997 to Dec. 1998, the axial images of MRI of 121 patients who sustained acute knee injury were selected to measure the posterior-epicondylar angle(the angle between the femoral epicondylar axis and the femoral posterior condylar axis). Congenital anomaly or any fracture cases were all excluded. Comparisons were made according to gender and ages and the student t-test was used to evaluate the statistical differences. RESULTS: The mean posterior-epicondylar angle was a 4.8(+- 2.0) and there was no significant statisti- cal difference between gender and ages except 3rd decade. CONCLUSION: It can induce an insufficient external rotation of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty, if we usually do 3 of external rotation of femoral component from the posterior condylar axis.

Aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery are rare, accounting for 8% of visceral artery aneurysms. About 60% of all superior mesenteric artery aneurysms have a mycotic origin. The only helpful clinical manifestations are episodes of previous abdominal pain and a history of valvular heart disease. In this case, a 66-year-old female patient with mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation presented with pain in the upper abdominal area. A superior mesenteric artery aneurysm was diagnosed at the time of impending rupture. Since excellent collateral circulation was present, an aneurysmectomy without revascularization was performed, and no ischemic symptom occurred. The patient presented no major complications during the postoperative course.

PURPOSE: To assess the MR findings of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and to evaluat differential point of cavernous sinus lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven cases of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome were evaluated by MRI with specific regard to the shape of cavernous sinus, signal intensity, and pattern of enhancement. Other associated findings were also anlaysed. RESULTS: Two patients had normal MR features of the cavernous sinus. When compared with the contralateral normal cavernous sinus, the involved cavernous sinus was enlarged in six of the nine patients. The outer dural margin was convex and bulged laterally in 6 cases, flat in 2 cases, and concave in 1 case. Of the nine patients, five had iso-signal intensity and four had low signal intensity relative to gray matter on short TR/short TE. Three had isosignal intensity and 6 were not detectale on long TR/short and long TE pulse sequence. Contrast enhancement was seen in 8 cases ;7 cases showed homogeneous enhancement, 1 case heterogeneous enhancement. CONCLUSION: In the appropriate clinical setting of painful ophthalmoplegia, MR findings of cavernous sinus abnormality that consist of iso to low signal intensity on short TR/short TE images and isointense or undetectale mass on long TR/short TE or long TR/Iong TE images may suggest the dignosis of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome.

Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a quite rare congenital disorder, characterized by posterior encepalocele, cleft palate and lip, polycystic kidneys, hepatic fibrosis with bile duct proliferation, and postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly. We experienced an autopsy case of M eckel-Gruber syndrome in a second baby of 28 year-old woman. At 26 weeks of gestation, congenital anomaly was detected on ultrasonographic examination and the pregnancy was terminated. Familial history was not noted.
