At Orthopedic Department of Kyung Hee University Hospital, we performed 20 total knee replacements in 12 patients who had rheumatoid arthritis and 18 total knee replacements in 13 patients who had osteoarthritis during the period from August 1982 to May 1986. All patients were female. Comparative analysis was done between the two groups with a follow-up period ranging from 1 year to 4 years 8 months, average being 2 years and 3 months. The average age of rheumatoid arthritis patients was 10 years younger than osteoarthritis patients. The improvement of range of knee motion after total knee replacement was greater in rheumatoid arthritis comparing to osteoarthritis. Preoperative flexion contracture was more severe in rheumatoid arthritis than osteoarthritis, but after total knee replacement the average degree of flexion conrcacture was no significant difference between two groups. The average of preoperative Hospital Surgery Knee Rating Scale was low in rheumatoid arthritis group than in osteoarthritis group, but postoperative Knee Rating Scale was similar in both groups. It seems that the problem of wound was more frequent in rheumatoid arthritis than in osteoarthritis.

At Orthopaedic Department of Kyung Hee University Hospital, we performed 50 total knee replacement in 32 patients who had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis during the period from Aug. 1982 to Dec. 1987. We studied these cases and compared the results of total knee replacement surgery in preoperative ambulatory patients(group I ) with those in preoperative non-ambulatory patients(group II ). 1. Preoperatively, 19 patients were able to walk, and 13 patients were unable to walk. 2. 7 patients of bilateral TKR(36.8%) were included in group I, and 11 patients (86.9%) in group II. 3. The improvement of range of motion after TKR was greater in group II (34 degrees) and in group I, average postoperative range of motion was similar to the average preoperative ROM. 4. Flexion contracture was more markedly improved in group II. 5. In group I, the average preoperative knee rating score by Hospital for Special Surgery rating system was 38.8 and improved to 93.4 postoperatively. In group II, the average preoperative knee rating score was 27.4 and improved to 85.7 postoperatively. 6. Postoperatively most of the patients were able to walk without support except one cases of infection(group I ) and the other who had severe rheumatoid involvements in other joints (group II ). 7. Preoperative evaluation for involvements of cervical spine and surrounding soft tissue structure was necessary endotracheal anesthesia. 8. There was 2 cases of complications in group I, and 4 cases in group II.

Dermal wound healing is a complex process that involved inflammation leading to re-epithelialization, granulation tissue, and tissue remodeling. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that polysaccharides isolated from fungus, Phellinus gilvus (PG) have various anti-inflammatory activities. In present study, we have assessed the effect of polysaccharides from PG on the dermal wound healing of polysaccharides from PG in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model. Six of 6-mm circular wounds were created with biopsy punch on the 4th day after induction of diabetes. After 24 hours, each test substance was applied to the wound twice a day for next 5 days. Circular wounds treated with PG showed significantly reduced wound contraction and complete reepithelialization, as compared to wounds of non-treated (p < 0.05). These results show that polysaccharides isolated from PG enhanced wound repair in diabetic impaired healing, and could be developed as a wound healing agent in such clinical settings.

The soleal line in 115 (left; 61, right; 54) cases of tibiae was studied morphometrically by the method of Mysorekar and Nandedkar. 1. The soleal line showed a uniform character throughout in 26 cases and a mixed characters in 89 cases. The bones showing uniform character were seen generally as a lineal line or wide line. 2. The soleal line having mixed characters divided into three parts. In the upper and middle thirds, the major type of line was wide line. In the lower third, the line was commonly seen as a lineal line. In about 12% of the bones examined the line was seen as a groove, particularly in the middle and lower thirds. 3. The soleal line commenced 1-2cm below the fibular facet In about 61% of cases. 4. The length of the soleal line was 10.5cm, and the ratio to that of the tibia was about 30%. The results of this study provide the characters of the soleal tne of the tibia in Korean. The soleal line, unlike the textbook description, generally shows mixed characters of a line.

Fractures of the capitellum humeri are rare and the recommendations for treatment vary. It can involve a significant portion of the articular surface, rendering the elbow joint unstable. In this situation, it is desirable to reduce and internally fix the capitellar fragment, because this restores the articular surface and augments joint stability. We experienced two cases of capitellar fractures which one case was spontaneously anatomical reduced and the other case was treated by open reduction. In one case the capitellar fragment was spontaneous reduced to a stable position although it was noticed radiographically as an unstable displaced fracture preoperatively. The other case was treated by open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5mm, small, AO, cannulated screw and K-wire. Both cases are reported here with references.

Twelve cases with paralytic elbow due to a traumatic lesion of the brachial plexus (eleven cases) and to poliomyelitis (one case) were treated by elbow flexorplasty from April, 1978 to February, 1984 Seven cases with available muscle for transfer were treated by muscle transfer, three cases withwhole arm type brachial plexus injury were treated by gracilis muscle transplantation, and two relatively fresh cases by neurotization. The three operated groups were assessed in range of active elbow motion, muscle power testing, and electromyography at final follow-up. In eight cases, the elbow flexorplasty were augmented by shoulder arthrodesis. The mean length of follow-up was twenty two months. The mean arc of restored active elbow motion was 93 degrees following muscle transfer, 100 degrees following gracilis muscle transplatation, and 35 degrees following neurotization. The overall mean arc of active elbow motion was 77.5 degrees. In the muscle testing, the mean scores of the elbow flexor power were 3+, 4−, and 3− following muscle transfer, grcilis muscle transplantation, and neurotization respectively. The overall mean score of restored elbow flexor power was 3− . The electromyographic findings also revealed corresponding restoration of the action potential in the flexor muscle in the three groups. One case of the transfer group failed after sternocleidomastiod muscle transfer, who subsequently received gracilis muscle transplantation with satisfactory result.
