Segmental Spinal Instrumentation is effective operative procedure in unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of the thoracolumbar spine, providing rigid spinal stability and reduces needs of external support and complications. Fifty nine patients with unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of thoracolumbar spine were treated with Harrington rod instrumentation and sublaminar wiring(31 patients) and Luque rod instrumentation with sublaminar wiring(28 patients) in Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Paik Hospital, Pusan from Dec. 1983 to April 1986. We have analyzed the results of treatment about two type of S.S.I. and obtained following conclusions; l. In 59 patients, T12 level injury was 17 cases, Ll level was 25 cases and so T12 and Ll involvement were 71%. 2. By Francis Denis classification, 28 cases were burst type fracture, 20 cases were fracture-dislocation type, 6 cases were seat belt type and 5 cases were wedge compression type. 3. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., initial kyphotic angle was 22.4° and postoperative angle was 7.4° and correction rate was 66.9%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., preoperative kyphotic angle was 21.7° and postoperative angle was 6.5° and correction rate 69.6%. So there was no difference of correction rate in two type of S.S.I. 4. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 1.2° and the loss was 7%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 7.2° and the loss rate was 48%. So the loss of reduction of Luque rod with S.S.I. was greater than that of Harrington rod with S.S.I. 5. After removal of implants, Luque rod with S.S.I. patients have better range of motion than Harrington rod with S.S.I. patients clinically, but it needs more follow-up because of a few cases(18 cases).

Since the first report of completely amputated thumb replantation by Tamai in 1965, replantation surgery has been popularized with increasing success rate and improving functional regain. Recently, difficult replantation such as traction avulsion amputation has been challenged and good success rate and function have been reported. We have analized 34 cases of upper extremity and finger replantation in 23 patients, which were performed at the Dept. of Orthopedic surgery. Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Korea, from June 1982 to January 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Male patients were 22, female was 1, left upper limbs and digits injuries were more prevalent(16: 7), and average age was 25 years old. 2. The most common injury was done by cutting machine. 3. The number of amputations of fingers were almost same in all fingers and most prevalent in zone III(26 cases, Danial classification). 4. Success rate of replantation was 82.4% In cases of less than 6 hrs ischemic time, the rate was 93.4%, and more than 6 hrs ischemic time, rate was 33.3% 5. Performing arterial anastomosis prior to venous anastomosis, can find out main draining vein, and with one vein and one artery anastomosis, can get good results distal to zone IV. 6. Functional results were satisfactory, evaluating by modified. Tamai score, average 87.5. 7. 6 cases of digital replantations distal to sublimis tendon insertion have good results functionally, cosmetically and technically easy (Tamai score 98). 8. 5 cases of traction avulsion amputations needed many additional surgery to restore function, but end results were relatively satisfactory.

Septic arthritis of the children's hip causes acute or chronic inflammatory change in structure about the joint, and results in serious destruction. Due to recent advance of the diagnostic technique and of the antibiotics, the incidence of it's sequelae is decreased. The management of acute stage with antibiotics and early surgical drainage has been well established in the literature, but the management of residual anatomic deformity is less documented, and little comprehensive classification or treatment program has been outlined. We experienced two patients who had sequelae induced by delayed diagnosis and improper treatment. One had a complete loss of femoral neck with femoral head remaining in the acetabulum. Femoral neck reconstruction was performed using proximal femur : i.e., Open reduction of femoral head to femur shaft with distal transfer of greater trochanter (1st stage) followed by varus osteotomy(2nd stage) and follow-up period was 3.5 years. Another had loss of femoral head and neck, dislocation of the hip, and Larsen's trochanteric arthroplasty was performed with 6 Years follow-up. Satisfactory results were obtained in both patients who had reconstructive surgery, so we report these cases with related literatures.

The ankle is a modified complex hinge joint consisting of the distal tibio-fibula joint (Syndesmosis), and the ankle joint proper(hinge joint), and is important in weight bearing, standing and walking. So, the goals of treatment of ankle fracture are anatomical positioning of talus in the mortise and regaining a smooth articular suface. Unless these requisites are achieved by treatment, post-traumatic arthritis is likely to occur. We analyzed 120 cases of ankle fracture, most of which were treated surgically by A-0 method, in Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hyundai Haesung Hospital from January, 1982 to December 1985. The results are as follows; 1. The most common victim was 3rd–4th decades man, and the cause was direct blow. 2. The most common type was pronation-external rotation type of Lauge-Hansen classification, and Type A of Danis-Weber type. 3. The more favorable result was noted in Danis-Weber type A than type B and type C,and noted worst result in pilon fracture. 4. Favorable results can be gained by semi-tubular plate in fibular fracture than any other fixation material. 5. On application of semi-tubular plate, there were no significant differences in results between that placed posteriorly and that placed laterally. 6. We did not transfix the distal tibio-fibular joint in stable Danis-Weber type C injury without any specific sequellae. 7. We obtained better result by removal of transfixing screw 6 weeks after operation. 8. We obtained good results with only 3 weeks immobilization after operation.

BACKGROUND: During the last three decades, the resistance of S. pneumoniae to penicillin has been rapidly increasing in many parts of the world, especially in Korea. To characterize the clinical features and epidemiology of penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (PRSP) infections in the community and hospital, as well as to investigate the possible spread of resistant clone, we performed the antimicrobial susceptibility tests, pulsed filed gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and penicillin-binding protein (PBP) profile analysis of PRSP isolates. METHODS: A total 48 PRSP isolates from patients who visited or were admitted to Korea University Guro hospital during the period form July 1998 to June 1999 were studied. Anitimicrobial susceptibility tests for 48 isolates were performed with microbroth dilution method to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of 11 antibiotics. 39 isolates and 35 isolates were subjected to PFGE and PBP profile analysis, respectively to investigate the genetic relatedness between PRSP isolates. RESULTS: Pneumonia was most common site of infection in the community and the hospital as 50%. There were no significant differences of clinical features and prognosis between community and hospital isolates. But, patients with serious underlying diseases had poor prognosis despite of acquisition site. High level penicillin resistance were observed in 69%, multi-drug resistance were 64.6% of isolates. PFGE showed that 13 of 29 community acquired infection were identical PFGE pattern but not that of 23F Spanish clone. There were various PFGE patterns were observed from community and hospital acquired infection isolates. Some of them were existed in both. PBP profiles showed more diverse, even if in isoaltes of the same PFGE pattern. CONCLUSOIN: In our study, high level penicillin resistance and multi-drug resistance were observed in PRSP clinical isolates. No clinical and prognostic differeces were observed between community and hospital acquired infections. Molecular epidemiology study were suggest the there were various genotypes of PRSP within our society. Some of them were observed in the hospital and community. Therefore, there was an evidence of communication of PRSP clones between the community and hospital.

This study was conducted to assess macro- and micronutrient compositions in school lunch menus based on the 'Dietary Guideline' for School Lunches. Ninety-five dieticians in elementary school in Chungbuk were asked to complete a questionnaire on characteristics of the school lunch program (such as type of foodservice, food production system), the information about dietitians (such as age, education, and job history), and the extent of the use of processed foods and frozen foods. They were asked to return the questionnaire with the menus including the name and the quantity of every food ingredient offered during a week. A total of 554 lunch menus provided for a week of June 2004 were analyzed. Average nutrient content per meal was as follows; 660 kcal, energy; 92.9 g, carbohydrate; 26.7 g, protein; 21.1 g, fat; 287 microgramRE, vitamin A; 0.5 mg, thiamin; 0.5 mg, riboflavin; 29.3 mg, vitamin C; 338.2 mg, calcium; 3.9 mg, iron; and 97 mg, cholesterol. Average percentages of energy from carbohydrate, protein and fat was 56.2%, 16.2%, and 29.0%, respectively. The mean nutrient content per meal was higher in rural-type than in urban-type schools. The weekly menu of 40% of the schools provided < 55% of energy from carbohydrate, and 39% of the schools offered lunch that provided > or =30% of energy from fat. The micronutrient content was generally high when the percent energy from fat was less than 25%. Our results showed that only 52.6% of the schools provided lunches with the energy composition as in the 'Dietary Guideline' of School Lunches. Whole Milk was the major contributor to fat, saturated fatty acid and cholesterol. We suggest that school foodservices start to provide low fat milk instead of whole milk to reduce fat, saturated fatty acid and cholesterol. If low fat milk is served instead of whole milk, percentage of energy from fat and saturated fat can be reduced from 29% to 25%, and from 10.2% to 9.1%, respectively, and cholesterol could be reduced from 97 mg to 79 mg. Efforts to meet 'Dietary Guideline' for School Lunches should be made, especially to reduce fat intake, while maintaining essential nutrient intake at sufficient levels for children.

The purposes of this study were to assess the treatment results in orthodontic department, Kyung Hee University, to evaluate the occlusion at 2 year follow-up control, in relation to the original malocclusion, and changes occurring in the follow-up period, and to determine whether treatment and posttreatment changes of the PAR index were related to the original Angle classification Dental study casts of 25 patients in permanent dentition were evaluated using Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index. The PAR index was measured at the pretreatment stage, immediately after treatment, and at 2 years posttreatment. The following results were obtained : 1. The treatment reduced the PAR index by 85.05% and it indicates that KHDC clinic has a high standard of treatment 2. The follow-up result of 75.40% PAR score reduction implies a gain of 9.65% of posttreatment PAR score during follow-up period. 3. There is no relationship between the treatment changes of the PAR index and the orignal Angle classification.

The non-surgical treatment for the fresh humeral shaft fracture would appeared to be not sufficient in respect of immobilization and maintenance of the contact surface of the fracture ends, which have had stimulated surgeons to perform internal fixation. This might be one of the reasons to produce non-union of humeral shaft fracture, supplemented by increasing incidence of fractures due to car and machinary accident. Authors have experienced 18 cases of non-union of humeral shaft fracture and accomplished solid union in all cases by osteosynthesis accompanied by autogenous bone graft. In detail: 1. Non-union was prevalent in the agr group of 20 to 40 and mostly in male. Site of non-union was found mostly at the lower 2/3. 2. The cause of the fracture was mainly due to the car and machinary accident. Initial treatments were surgical in 14 out of 18 cases, and 12 cases of this surgically treated group were treated within 2 days after the injury. 3. On retrospective analysis of medical records and X-ray films, probable cause of the non-union were supposed to be too early performed inadequate internal fixation and post-operative infection in the operated cases, whereas distraction of fracture ends due to poor external fixation and infection in the cases treated conservatively. 4. 16 cases of established non-union were treated by authors with rigid internal fixation and additional bone graft, and 1 case with bone graft only. 5. Authors have utilized shoulder spica or long arm cast post-operatively for 1 to 4 months. 6. Union was obtained in all cases. Developed transient radial nerve palsy in 4 cases; and neighbouring joints contracture in 2 cases, which required considerable time of physical therapy.

After discovery of Penicillin by Fleming in 1939, a great improvement in the treatment of osteomyelitis has been made and the mortality rate in acute stage was markedly decreased. But due to misplacement of antibiotics, and the improper treatment of the osteomyelitis, the tendency to chronicity and various sequellae of the osteomyelitis are still persist. So, it will be of importance to reconsider the management of various sequellae of pyogenic osteomyelilis. We reviewed 3 cases of sepsis, 10 cases of pathologic fracture, 6 cases of sepsis, 6 cases of malignant turnor developed in an old draining sinus, 2 cases of bone defect, 3 cases of joint contracture and 4 cases of deformity and growth disturbance 604 cases of osteomyelitis treated at National Medical Center between 1972 to 1983. The results were as follows: 1. Established sepsis was noted in 3 cases, and one of these patient dead. We treat these patients with high dose of the antibiotics accompanied by decompression of the lesion. 2. Pathologic fracture developed in 10 cases, which was treated with either conservative or operative treatment. All cases obtained good union except one. 3. Spuamous cell carcinoma developed in 6 cases around the old draining sinus. All cases were treated with amputation. Theres no recurrence except one. 4. Bone defect developed in 2 cases. A case of bone defect in humeral shaft was treated with vascularized fibular graft and obtained firm union and good function. 5. Joint contracture was treated with soft tissue release and even joint fusion in severe case. The results were not gratifying. 6. Deformity and growth disturbance of limbs were treated with soft tissue release, osteotomy and stapling. Most of the cases obtained good results, but limb length discrepancy was not recovered satisfactorily.
