The diagnosis and treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head advanced, after Freud issued examples of bilateral avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN) in 1926. But still not fixed in treatment and diagnosis. Recently early diagnosis and treatment produced good result. Whole body bone scan, intraosseous pressure mornitoring, intramedullary venography, C-T, or MRI, Selective femoral angiography also used in early diagnosis. Selective femoral angiography was performed for 56 patients, who has suspected as AVN by sumple X-ray and WBBS in order to estimate. How the femoral angiographic finding exist in AVN. In the control group femoral angiography performed to 5 person with normal stage of clinical and radiologic finding. So the result are as following l. All cases in the control group were not observed terminal branch of superior and inferior capslar branch. 2. In AVN the alteration of vasculature appeared 22 patients among 56 patient. 3. The altered vasculature presented 87.5% in traumatic group and 31.5% in nontraumatic group. 4. Collateral circulation was 22.2% in the cases of patients under 6 moths of the time interual between etiological events and clinical symptoms, 89.5% over 6 months. 5. Collateral circulation received 86.8% from inferior gluteal artery two cases from superior gluteal artery, and three cases form obturator artery. 6. Clinical tolerance was supposed to in well developed collateral circulation. According to the above results, Vascular alteraion were noted very much in traumatic group and development of collateral circulation were related promote clinical tolerance. Selective femoral angiography was not effective to assist early diagnosis and treatment of AVN for it could not detect terminal branch of superior and inferior capsular artery that reflected intraossous vasculsture. We need the new nethod of angoigraphy in order to early diagnosis.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is characterized by one, or oftener many, yellow, re3dish yellow, or, brown 4-to-20 mm papules or nodules on the face, scalp, trunk, and mostly, extensor surfaces. It may involve internal organ besides the skin such as eye, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. anthogranuloma in adult is usually solitary and dose not involve organs other than skin, and generally dose ncit resolve without treatment. Histopathologically, characteristic Touton giant cells usually appear numerously. We report a case of juvenile xanthogranulorna which occured on scalp of 49 year-old male showing typical clinical and histopathological findings.

PURPOSE: We expected the motion fraction could be checked, with simple radiographic examination, according to the guide-line of fluoroscopic technique, and recovery of the function also could be correlated with the improvement of the motion fraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We measured the motion fraction of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic movement using fluoroscope in 30-degree intervals of arm elevation in the scapular plane. The ratio of glenohumeral to scapulothoracic movement (thetaGH/thetaST) was 1.6 for the full range of motion in scapular plane. During arm elevation, scapular tilting from the coronal plane was decreased from 42 degrees to 20 degrees tilting as well as internal rotation (scapular extension). We also measured the motion fraction (thetaGH/thetaST) and functional recovery of the shoulder in 11 patients after operative treatment of the shoulder instability in 15 patients from December 1996 to August 1997. RESULTS: We could find out a significant correlation between the recovery of motion fraction and shoulder function. These results would be applied in planing rehabilitation program after treatment of the shoulder instability. CONCLUSIONS: The measuring technique of glenohumeral to scapulothoracic movement (thetaGH/thetaST) with fluoroscopy could be applied to the simple radiographic measurement at the out-patient clinic in order to identify the pathology and recovery of shoulder motion after treatment

Purpose: This study examined the demographic and radiological risk factors for later reduction loss of distal radius fractures treated conservatively. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled patients treated for distal radius fractures between January 2017 and December 2019. Seventy-eight patients were included in the analysis and divided into two groups. The patients who showed minimal reduction loss within an acceptable radiologic angle after initial manual reduction were classified as Group A. The patients who showed reduction loss out of an acceptable radiologic angle and finally malunited or converted to surgical treatments were classified as Group B. The patient’s age and bone marrow density were used as demographic data. The initial X-ray images were evaluated to determine the fracture type. Various radiological parameters were measured. Results: The 78-patient study cohort consisted of nine men and 69 women with a mean age of 67 years. Forty-eight cases were sorted into Group A, and 30 cases into Group B. On logistic regression analysis, the age of 80 or older was a risk factor for later fracture displacement among the demographic factors (p=0.037, odds ratio=4.937). Among the radiographic factors, the presence of distal ulnar fracture and dorsal cortical comminution were disclosed as risk factors of later displacement (p=0.049, 0.003, odds ratio=3.429, 7.196). Conclusion When conservative management for distal radius fracture is decided in patients more than 80 years of age or accompanied by a distal ulnar fracture or with dorsal cortical comminution, the possibility of later displacement of the distal radius should be considered.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to classify the type of individuals with alcohol dependence, and to examine its clinical characteristics through cluster analysis. METHODS: 180 inpatients with alcohol dependence were examed with AUI, MAST, ADS, and MCMI. The classification of alcohol dependence was done through the cluster analysis. RESULTS: 1) Patients with alcohol dependence could be classified into three types. Type 1 of alcohol dependence was the severest in terms of physical and psychological dependence on alcohol, alcohol-related problems, and loss of control, and was characterized by isolated drinking and binge drinking. Type 2 of alcohol dependence was mainly drinking on account of personal relationships, and is characterized by continuous drinking. Type 3 of alcohol dependence is relatively the mildest type, which led to withdrawal symptoms and complications. 2) There is no difference in age, educational level, marital status, occupation, family history of alcoholism among three types. 3) As a result of comparative analysis of age at the first hospitalization by drinking, physical and psychological dependence on alcohol, complications by drinking, amount of drinking, and frequency of drinking, the age at the first hospitalization by drinking showed statistically significant difference between type 1 and type 2 or type 3. 4) There was a significant difference in anti-social personality trait, borderline personality trait, and obsessive-compulsive personality trait, and drug abuse tendency between type 3 and type 1 or type 2. There was a significant difference in the degree of depression between type 1 and type 3; there was no difference in the degree of anxiety among three types. CONCLUSION: It is possible to classify alcohol dependence into three types by means of AUI in Korea, and each type should require specific models of therapeutic strategies and approaches in accordance with its clinical characteristics.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome in patients aged less than 55 years who underwent arthroscopic tenodesis and arthroscopic repair for type 2 superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions. METHODS: Between April 2008 and December 2014, surgery was performed on a total of 45 patients with isolated type 2 SLAP lesions. Arthroscopic repair was performed in 22 patients and arthroscopic tenodesis was performed in 23 patients. In both groups, the clinical outcomes at follow-ups were evaluated using the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. RESULTS: In both groups, the VAS scores for pain had improved significantly throughout the postoperative follow-up period. The VAS score showed a statistically significant difference at postoperative 3 and 6 months (p<0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative results at 12 months (p>0.05). In both groups, the functional outcome was statistically improved postoperatively. In a comparison of the UCLA and ASES scores between the two groups, there was a statistically significant difference at postoperative 3 and 6 months (p<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative results at 12 months (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this and other studies, patients with isolated type 2 SLAP lesions showed better short-term clinical outcome with tenodesis than with repair. However, there was no difference between the two groups at the final follow-up.
