Dislocation involving talus is a rare injury comprising less than 1% of all dislocations of the joint. One case of lateral subtalar di location of the talus treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kang Nam General Hospital in Decernber 1985. The patient was followed for 6 months and satisfactory healing was obtained.

The fractures of tibial shaft are common and open injury are also frequenly accompanied. Since the AO unreamed interlocking nail is solid type compared to present tubular type nail, it has no dead space, and without reaming the intramedullary blood supply can be preserved and the soft tissue trauma can be minimized. Therefore it can be used with minor risk of infection in the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures without secondary operation such as in the cases using external fixaters. Especially in Orientals, whose tibial medullary canal is narrower than Smm, it can be used ideally. From October 1991, we have experienced 14 cases of tibial shaft fractures treated with AO unreamed interlocking nail. Among 14 cases, the open fractures were 8, 4 cases were type 1 and 4 cases were type 2 by Gustilo classification. Among 6 cases of closed fractures, 4 cases had risk of post operative infection due to accompanying soft tissue injuries, such as abrasion or bulla and 2 cases had narrow intramedullary canal less than 8mm. There was no postoperative infection in all cases including open fractures, and the soft tissue defect could be reconstruted by muscle transfer, etc. The AO unreamed interlocking nail is thought to be recommendable in the treatment of open tibial shaft fracture, closed fracture with risk of postoperative infection, and also the fracture with narrow canal diameter less than 8mm.

To evaluate the results of anterior decompression and fusion with autogenous bone graft for cervical disc disease, the authors reviewed 18 cases of cervical disc herniation which were treated surgically at Inje Univ. Paik Hosp. from 1990 to 1994 with special interest in the thickness of the bone graft. All cases have been followed for more than 12 months. We try to know the clinical results of anterior decompression and fusion with autogenous bone graft. At this treatment, controversial point is a ideal thickness of graft and the width of distraction. Therefore, we follow up the correlation between thickness of graft on roentgenogram and clinical results. The clinical results were satisfactory as excellent in 11 cases, good in 5 cases according to criteria of Robinson et al. Successful fusion occured in 16 cases within 3 months after their initial procedure, and fusion failure resulted in 2 cases. 3mm distraction from baseline disc height was considered ideal thickness of graft after anterior decompression and all cases healed successfully. We concluded that 3mm distraction from baseline disc height is necessary for successful decompression & fusion.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of the arterial phase of dynamic spiral CT in the detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared with the late phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two phase spiral CT images of seventeen patients with pathologically proven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas were compared retrospectively. CT scans were performed with 5mm collimation at 1:1 pitch table speed. Images of arterial and late phases were obtained at 35 seconds and 180 seconds after initiation of administration of 100mL of contrast material(3mL/sec), respectively. Images of the arterial phase were compared with those of the late phase. RESULTS: Images of the arterial phase showed sufficient contrast between the tumor and adjacent pancreatic parenchyma in 12 cases, insufficient in four cases, and no significant contrast in one case. Images of the late phase showed sufficient contrast in five cases, insufficient in five cases, and no significant contrast in seven cases. Images of the arterial phase was superior to that of the late phase in 12 patients(70.6%). In six of the 12 patients, only the images of the arterial phase showed contrast between the tumor and the adjacent parenchyma. The images of late phase showed only one case of three metastasis detected on the images of the arterial phase. CONCLUSION: The arterial phase of spiral CT is superior to the late phase that is comparable with conventional CT in the detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

The purpose of this study was fourfold - to evaluate the general laws of friction applied to orthodontic conditions, to compare archwire materials under these controlled conditions, to compare ligation method, and to measure the effect of the artificial saliva on friction with these materials Three wire alloys (Cobalt-chromium, Nickel-titanium, Beta-titanium) in two size wires (.016", .016"x.022") were examined respect to the bracket (.018"x.025" standard), and two ligature material (stainless steel, elastomeric) in dry and wet conditions The results were as follows, 1. The order of frictional force against alloy materials was Co-Cr (lowest), Ni-Ti, and beta-Ti(highest) - with the exception of elastomeric ligation under wet conditions. 2. S.S. ligation gave rise to significantly greater friction than elastomeric ligation did. 3. Testing in the presence of saliva, rather than in dry conditions, decreased the frictional force for S.S. ligation with .016" Co-Cr, Ni-Ti,beta-Ti. but, increased the frictional force for S.S. ligation with .016"x .022" Co-Cr, Ni-Ti, beta-Ti. 4. .016"x.022 "wire generated more friction than .016" wire.

High tibial osteotomy is a useful procedure in the treatment of early stage osteoarthritis of the knee which is confined to the medial compartment. But long term follow-up study of high tibial osteotomy has not been provided yet and its prerequisite for a successful result still remains unrevealed. Since the osteoarthritis can progress after the osteotomy, it may result in the loss of correction and recurrence of pain and require conversion to total knee replacement arthroplasty. We studied clinically and radiologically the long term result of high tibial osteotomy in 11 patients(16 knees) who had been treated at the Department of Orthopaedic surgery of Seoul Paik Hospital during the period from January, 1978 to May, 1989, and follow-up for longer than 4 years. Preoperative mean varus angle was 6.4 degrees and immediate postoperative mean valgus angle was 8.6 degrees and final mean valgus angle was 4.7 degrees. The average loss of correction angle was 3.9 degrees. At 2-year follow-up, the results of 16 knees were as follows; excellent in six knees, good in seven knees. The final results at average 7.2-year follow-up were excellent in four knees, good in six knees and one knee was converted to total knee replacement arthroplasty. The results showed deterioration of clinical results and loss of correction with time after osteotomy. However, in more than half of the cases the results were good or excellent at the final follow-up, We, therefore, conclude that high tibial osteotomy is still a useful procedure in osteoarthritis of the knee if performed with a precise surgical technique and an adequate overcorrection more than 10 degrees.
