The infantile cortical hyperostosis is relatively rare unknown cause disease. After the first report of a case of this was that of caffey in 1945, this disease is increasing in frequency. This disease characterized by subperiosteal new bone formation on various bone, leukocytosis, increased Erythrocyte Seidmentation Rate, fever. We experienced two cases of this and reported them in this paper with a brief review of tbe literature.

The knee joint is one of the major weight bearing joint in the body, and is frequently injured because of its complex motion despite of a simple bony architecture. In the fracture of the tibial condyle the injuries of soft tissues such as ligaments and menisci are frectuently accompanied, and the weight bearing surface is involved. So it often produces a disability of the knee joint. Forty-seven consecutive cases of the tibial condylar fracture treated at the orthopaedic department of the Hallym Medical College from 1982 to 1985 have been analyzed according to its type, radiologic diagnosis, treatment, and end results. The conclusions are; 1. The tomography is important in the decision of the treatment method by the accurate measurement of the extent of depression and displacement. 2. The poor results are usually caused by a severe comminution and some associated injuries such as menisus tear, open wound, and rupture of ligamentum patellae etc. 3. The better results can be obtained with the treatment of early exercise within 6 weeks, of weight bearing between 12-20 weeks, and in surgical cases, within 2 weeks and with a bone graft.

Osteopetrosis is a very rare bone dysplasia characterized by failure of resorption and persistence of calcified chondroid and primitive bone. In 1904 Albers-Schonberg first described the radiological appearance of marble bone. This is named osteopetrosis by Karshner in 1926. A fulminating form is manifested from birth in which fractures and deformity, hydrocephalus and cranial nerve palsies lead to early death from intractable anemia and intercurrent infection. In other cases the stigmata are delayed until later childhood, when retardation of growth and of mental and sexual development occurs, and not infrequently accompanied by rickets, dental caries and osteomyelitis. We have experienced a familial osteopetrosis, father and three siblings, which was thought to be a autosomal dominant inheritance. One of those family, 20 years old man, has been complained of anemia and low back pain without radiating pain to the lower extremities. The other 3 patients has not been complained of any other clinical symptoms. But X-Ray examination of the entire skeletal survey of those members of the family have revealed the uniform opacity of long bones and flat bones.

Synovial sarcoma is an uncommon, highly malignant soft tissue tumor usually arising from the synovial lining of a joint, bursa and tendon sheath. Occurence in muscle fascia is extremely rare. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the left calf muscle fascia, which was confirmed by microscopically sarcomatous growth of spindle cells and irregular small multiloculation. Above knee amputation was done.

The Ankle joint is a modified complex hinge joint which plays an importnat role in weight bearing, walking and standing. Injuries about the ankle joint cause destruction of not only bony architecture but also the ligament and soft tissue components. We performed arthrography in 52 cases of ankle fracture. The Result obtained from this study was as follow; The ligament & interosseous membrane injuries were more severe, when fracture of lateral malleolus was occured higher level than ankle joint.
