Pain snd disability often fractures of the cslcaneus even though the original injury was skillfully treated. The causes are traumstic arthritis of the subtalar joint, abnormalities of the peroneal tendons or weakness of Gastrocnemius, etc. We have experienced the resection of lateral prominence of calcaneus in 7 patients who complained of pain by entrapment of peroneal tendons between lateral malleolus and lateral prominence of malunited calcaneus. The follow up time after operation was 3 years and 4 months to 12 months. In all patients the pain was markedly improved between postoperative 5 weeks and 10 weeks. When the last follow up, 6 patients among 7 patients except one case of subtalar arthritis were astisfaetory.

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1988;23(4):963-976
81 cases, 79 patients of ankle fracure treated at pusan Maryknoll hospital from May, 1980 to January, 1986 were analized in clinical and radiological aspect. The results obtained from this study were as following. l. Of the 79 patients, male was 61 patients and female was 18 patients. The average age of the patients was 36 years. 2. Main cause of the injury was traffic accident (35 cases, 43.3%) and the other causes were industrial accident, fall down, slip down, and sports accident in orders. 3. By the classification of Lauge-Hansen, the most common type was pronation external rotation(29 cases, 35.8%). 4. Open reduction was performed in 55 cases(67.9%), and closed reduction in 25 cases(30.1%) 5. The average duration of the cast immobilization was 8 weeks in closed reduction and 7 weeks in open reduction. 6. The result of the treatment was better in those cases of the open reduction than that of the closed reduction. 7. The most poor result was noticed in pronation dorsiflexion type. 8. We agree that Lauge-Hansen classification is useful in diagnosis and treatment of the ankle fracture.

In the treament of the non-union or delayed union of the long bone, it is very difficult to achieve union. We have experienced 15 cases of non-union or delayed union of the tibia who were treated by sliding inlay bone graft with cancellous chip bone graft from June, 1979 to April, 1984. The results were as follows: l. In all cases cancellous iliac bone graft were performed, and additionally internal fixation or simple cast immobilization were done for stabilization of the fracture site. 2. The average bone union time was 2.8 months in delayed union and 4.4 months in non-union. 3. 1n 5 failed cases there were reactivation of previous infections. 4. In 5 cases of postoperative infection, sliding grafts were sequestrated in all. 5. The advantage of this procedure in the cases without infection were: 1) In the anteromedial cortex of tibia, such a surgical intervention permits easy skin closure and prevents skin necrosis. 2) Such a procedure can recanalize the obliterated medullary cavity without disturbance of the fracture ends during operation. 6. This procedure was proved to be one of valuable adjuvant method in the treatment of uninfected non or delayed union of the tibiae.

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1986;21(5):907-913
We have experienced 7 cases of resurfacing prosthesis in comminuted patellar fracture in 5 patients, The follow up time was from 1 year and 6 months to 3 years and 6 months. The dome-shaped plastic patellar prosthesis was used after fracture healing. Each case was evaluated by Levitt's method of evaluation and we compared with patellectomy in “End results of patellectomy” reported by West, F. E. in 1962 in quadriceps power, range of motion, appearance and pain on the knee. The results were as follows: 1. By Levitt's method of evaluation, 6 cases were satisfactory, but 1 case was unsatisfactory. 2. The resurfacing prosthesis was better than patellectomy in quadriceps power, range of motion and appearance, but it was a little more painful.

The carpal scaphoid is the commonest of the carpal bones to be fractured, and this injury is the commonest to befall the wrist of working man. There is still some disaggrement as to the optimum treatment and as to how long immobilization should be maintained. The twenty seven cases of the carpal scaphoid were treated at department of orthopaedic surgery, Maryknoll Hospital. They were analyzed in regared to the clinical and radiological aspects. The results were summarized as follows. l. Of 27 cases 24 cases were in the age group 20 to 39, and all cases were male patients. 2. In 17 cases, the fracture was found in right side. 3. In 19 cases (70.4%), the fracture was found on the middle 1/3 of the carpal scaphoid and in 18 cases(66.8%), the fracture line was transverse. 4. The union rate of fracture was 100% in the distal 1/3 fracture, 89.5% in the middle 1/3 fracture and 66.3% in the proximal fracture. The average period of immobilization were 10.3, 14.9 and 15.3 weeks respectively. 5. By Maudsley's assessment, the end result was good in all cases of the distal 1/3 fracture, 84.2% in the middle 1/3 fracture and 66.7% in the proximal 1/3 fracture. 6. Traumatic arthritis developed in 3 cases, avascular ncerosis in 7 cases, nonunion in 4 cases.

If the treatment of acetabular fractures are not satisfactory, there will be serious complication such as traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. There is much continuing discussion as to where conservative or surgical treatment should be used. The authors experienced 41 cases of acetabular fractures, that wrere treated at the Department of Orthopaedic surgery, Maryknoll Hospital from January 1981 to September 1987. The results of 29 cases who were followed over a 1 year period are as follows:1. According to Letournel's classification, the most common type of elementray fracture was posterior wall(24.1%) and a T- shsped fracture was 10.3 % and both column fractures were 10.3%. 2. Complications were traumatic arthritis(14 cases), superficial infection(5 cases), ectopic ossification(5 cases), osteomyelitis(1 case), AVN of the femoral head(1 case), and iartrogenic femoral shaft fracture(1 case). 3. According to matta's assessment, satisfactory results of conservative treatment were 38% clinically and 38% radiologically, and by surgical treatment, 73% clinically and 64% radiologically. 4. Surgical treatment in acetabular fractures, such as an anatomical reduction and rigid fixation fixation followed by early joint motion were improved the result and decresed the rate of traumatic arthritis.

Twenty-eight cases of fracture of the femur and tibia on the same leg were treated in Pusan Maryknoll Hospital during the period from April 1981 to Jun 1988. We studied all of these patients, divided by five groups according to the method of treatment, with analysis of treatment and end results. The following results were obtained. 1. The incidence of trauma was high in the young man, and most frequent in the third decade (42.9%). 2. The main cause of injuries was traffic accident; 22 patients (78.6%). 3. The common fracture site was middle one-third in femur and tibia respectively. 4. The most common associsted injury was head trauma (9 case). 5. The average healing time of fracture was 20.7 weeks in femur and 22.7 weeks in tibia of group 3, 4, 5. 6. The best results were obtained in cases both fractures stabilized surgically.
