Primary cutaneous meningiomas are extremely rare tumors found in the cutis or subcutis, and generally have a benign course. The tend to be located on the scalp, face, neck. or paravertebral area. The primary cutaneous meningioma bears similarities to developmental defects and probably originates from arachnoid cell rests in the skin, although diverse groups of cutaneous meningiomas seem to arise from several different sources. A case of primary cutaneous meningioma occuring in the scalp of left parietal area of a 27-year-old female is presented. Clinically the lesion appeared as indolent, slow growing cutaneous mass and has no connection with underlying brain tissue, as determined by examination of the roentgenographs. The definite diagnosis was made after pathological examination. Microscopically the tumor is composed of sheets and nests of meningothelial cells. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies reveal the typical findings of meningioma.

This study was planned by the necessities of basic information about the effects of Korean Ginseng upon fracture healing and biomechanical properties of bone. Three hundred white mice were used for this study, and we could have tested the biomechanical properties in one hundred and nintyfour. The bones of the white mice were evaluated by testing gross stability, radiological appearance, and biomechanical properties. It appears that Korean Ginseng has an excellent effect upon early phase of fracture healing of the bone. The summary of this study are as follows: 1. With near maximal dose, Korean Ginseng showed very excellent effect upon early phase of the fracture healing. 2. There was no apparent effect on remodeling phase of the fracture healing with Korean Ginseng of near maximal dose. 3. Korean Ginseng appeared to have no effect on fracture healing with minimal dose. 4. Upon biomechanical properties of the bone, Korean Ginseng was seemed to be effective with near maximal dose. But, there was no definite evidence for that.

This study was performed by the necessity of objective information upon change of pulmonary function after surgical correction of spinal deformity in scoliotic patients. It is relatively well known that deformity of spinal curvature affects the pulmonary functions, especially lung volume or vital capacity, due to restriction of the thoracic cage. It is carried out the comparative study between preoperative and postoperative pulmonary functions in thirty two cases of thoracic scoliosis, all who were treated with Harrington instrumentation and posterior fusion at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul, National University Hospital from 1969 to 1983. The age distribution of patients was from 6 years to 21 years and female was more involved two times than male. Following observations were obtained: Following observations were obtained: 1. Pre-and postoperative angle of scoliosis were 77.5° and 39.2° with correction rate of 48.2%. 2. Preoperative vital capacity was 64.2% and postoperative value was 74.8%, 2 years and 2 months after operation in average. 3. Postoperative vital capacity was significantly increased compared to preoperative value in patients with scoliosis (p<0.05). 4. Ther was no definite pattern of obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with scoliotic deformity.

Numerous operations have been described to treat the recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, but no one procedure was accepted as the choice of operation. We perforemed 6 Bristow procedures and 5 combined Bankart and Putti-Platt procedures and examined six shoulders by arthroscope from sep. 1989 to Sep. 1992, and we analysed the pathologic feature and the results of them. The average follow-up period was 2.2 years. 1. There were 8 males and 3 females and their average age was 33.7 years. The mean age in initial dislocation was 28 years. 2. The number of recurrent dislocation before operation was 17.9 times and the average duration of the disease was 5.7 years. 3. The pathologic lesions observed in intraoperative field were Hill-Sachs lesion (72.7%), Bankart lesion (90.9%), and the erosion of the glenoid rim (54.5%). On arthroscopic examination of 6 cases, Hill-Sachs lesion was found in 4 cases, Bankart lesion was seen in all of 6 cases, and the erosion of the glenoid rim was observed in 4 cases. 4. The average range of the limitation of external rotation was 17.3 and its significant difference was not observed between 2 operative groups. 5. By Rowes rating sheet, 4 cases of 5 combined Bankart and Putti-Platt operations were excellent and 1 case was good. 6. In conclusion, combined Bankart and Putt-Platt operation was considered as a good surgical procedure in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

The incidence of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in young adult is relatively high in our home than other countries. But recently the incidence in elderly patient is progressively increased due to prolongation of average life span and increased activity. Various devices has been developed and the result of treatment has been improved, but the morbidity after fracture in elderly patient remains high because of poor general condition and osteoporosis. We tried to assess the availability of SHCP(sliding hip compression plate) in the intertrochanteric fracture of the osteoporotic bone by the review of the 27 cases below Singh index III that we experienced from September, 1989 to June, 1993 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Chonbuk National University Hospital. The results were as follows: 1. Mean age was 68 years. Type III in Tronzo classification was most common(51.9%). Singh index II was 17 cases(63%) and grade III was 10 cases(37%). 2. In 23 cases(88.8%), anatomical reduction was performed. The bony union was gained at average 15.8 weeks. The serious complications were 1 penetration and 1 osteoarthritis of hip. 3. Satisfactory results were obtained in 88% of patients by the functional class of Clawson DK.
