A recurrent shoulder joint dislocation was performed on fourteen cases who were treated by modified Bristow operation from June, 1978 to April, 1981. and following results were obtained. 1. The age of initial dislocation varied from 13 years to 23 years of age with the average of 18. 6 years. 2. The age at operation varied from 20 years to 28 years of age with the average of 23 years. 3. The duration of recurrent dislocaticn varied from 2 years to 8 years with the average of 4.4 years. 4. The times of dislocation varied from 6 to 50 times with the average of 17.1 times. 5. The roentgenograms showed the Hill-Sachs' Iesion in 10cases (71.4%), subluxation in 4 cases (28.6%), and glenoid rim abnormality in 2 cases. 6. The operative findings were Bankart's lesion in II cases(78.6%), glenoid rim erosion in 2 case, and subscapularis laxity in 2 case. 7. The complication and recurrence were not observed in this period. 8. The average limitation of abduction and external rotation were 5. 7 and 12. 2 degree respectively.

Scaphoid fracture is the most common carpal bone fracture and its treatment is frequently delayed due to difficulties of diagnosis. Nonunions and avascular necrosis are commonly developed due to peculiar blood supply. Though most of the undisplaced fracture, diagnosed early, can be managed easily by plaster of Paris immobilization, many cases of delayed diagnosis, displaced fractures and nonunions are difficult to treat and its outcome is not uniform. Ruse reported good results by iliac bone graft via volar approach and several internal fixation methods are reported such as K-wire, compression screw, Herbert screws etc. Recently, many suthors advocated accurate anatomical reduction in fear of volar and dorsal intercalary segmental instability. We reviewed 30 cases of scaphoid fracture at the department of orthopedic surgery, Kyungpook national university hospital, from June, 1986 to April, 1989 and obtained the following results. l. Among 30 cases of scaphoid fractures, 27 cases(90 %) were males. 2. Twenty one cases(70%) were between second decade and third decade. 3. The fracture mechanism is hyperdorsiflexion of the wrist during slip down or fall down in 21 cases(70%). 4. Right side is 17 cases(57%) and left 13 cases. Middle 1/3 fracture occupies 24 cases(80%) in anatomical location. 5. Among 15 cases of the fresh fracture, 11 cases(93%) attained bone union by plaster pf Paris immobilization. 6. Among 18 cases of operation, 3 cases were acute transscaphoid perilunar dislocation(TSPD), 1 case was delayed TSPD, 5 were delayed unions and 9 were monunions. Operative methods were Herbert screw fixations in 8, Herbert screw fication with iliac bone graft in 4, Russe's bone grafts in 6 cases. 7. The results of the treatment were classified according to the bone union status and range of motion of the wrist. In operative treatment, excellent and good results were obtained in 6 and 11 cases respectively, poor result in 1 case. In conservative treatment, excellent and good results in 6 and 5 cases respectively, fair in 1 case.

There are many reports which show that contraction of the extraocular muscles results in an increase in intraocular pressure(IOP). Goldmann tonometer was used to record IOP after Tensilon injection in 22 patients, 10 myasthenics and 12 patients with other neurologic disease. There was a significant difference in IOP measured at 30 seconds after injection between two groups; 1-7(mean: 3.4) mmHg increase in myasthenics but no change, or 1-6 (mean: 1.7) mmHg decrease in patients with other neurologic disease. It is concluded that Tensilon tonometry is a valuable, sensitive and objective method in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.

Non-acetylated salicylates have been recommended for use as alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in aspirin and/or tartrazine-sensitive patients. We experienced a case of an aspirin-sensitive asthmatic patient who developed a broncho-obstructive reaction after taking 100 mg of sodium salicylate. The result of this study suggests that sodium salicylate may cross-react with aspirin in aspirin-and tartrazine-sensitive patients.

Coronary stent dislodgement is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. We report a case of stent dislodgement in the ascending thoracic aorta. The stent was mechanically distorted in the left circumflex artery (LCX) while being delivered to the proximal LCX lesion. The balloon catheter was withdrawn, but the stent with the guide wire was remained in the ascending thoracic aorta. The stent was unable to be retrieved into the guide catheter, as it was distorted. A goose neck snare was used successfully to catch the stent in the ascending thoracic aorta and retrieved the stent externally via the arterial sheath.

Pure primary hepatic rhabdomyosarcoma in adult is very uncommon. There have been only five previous case of primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the adult liver. A case of hepatic ihabdomyosarcoma was diagnosed in a 52 year-old female. She was admitted to the hospital due to the epigastric pain and weight loss. A CT scan of the abdomen showed a large hypodense mass with focal calcification occupies most of the both lobes of the liver. The liver biopsy showed massive liver tumor composed entirely of oval shaped cells showing light microscopic and immunohistochemical evidence of rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. We report a case of hepatic rhabdomyosarcoma with review of literature.
