There are several rnethods to correct the tibial bony defect including resection, cement filling, autograft or allograft and metal augmentation. The purpose of this study is to find the adequate treatment method of tibia bony defect through analysis of the result with above methods. From Sep. 1993 to Dec. 1997, the authors analyzed 93 cases of tibial medial bony defect corrected by overresection of lateral condyle, allograft and metal wedge or block among 358 cases of primary total knee arthroplasty(TKA) operated at Asan Medical Center. All cases were devided into four groups according to the treatment method; group A(31 cases) with overresection of lateral condyle, group B(37 cases) with metal wedge, group C(21 cases) with metal block and group D(4 cases) with allograft. The mean follow up period was 23.6 months(12 56 months). The results were as follows, 1. There were no definite statistical difference between group A, B, C and D in HSS knee score, ROM, correction of deformity. But in group D, there is one case of loss of the correction. 2. Loosening of the implant was not noted, but 17 cases of mild bony resorption was found just beneath the implant. It was particularly prominent in group B(9 cases) than group A(5 cases) and C(3 cases). 3. Among 4 cases of allograft, one has developed collapse of allograft. 4. 3 cases of deep infection developed only in group C, which were followed by revision TKA. Although further follow up study should be carried out, we concluded that resection of lateral tibial condyle, allograft, metal augmentation is a good substitute to the correction of the tibial bony defect in primary TKA.

Cerebral infarction in the territory of the paramedian thalamopeduncular artery (PTA) causes various lesions in the upper midbrain and thalamus resulting in widespread disturbances in neurological function. However, the exact topography and variations in the territories of the PTA remain unknown. We report four patients with MRI-proven infarctions in the PTA territory. One patient had lesions in the unilateral thalamus and midbrain, the other two had lesions in the bilateral paramedian thalamus and unilateral midbrain, and the remaining patient had lesions in the unilateral thalamus and bilateral midbrain. Clinical manifestations depended on the variations of the size and extent of infarctions. Theanatomical variations of the PTA are discussed and suggested.

Cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp is difficult to manage because of complicated vascular anatomy and massive intraoperative hemorrhage. The authors report a patient in whom a large cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp was eliminated by excision after proximal ligation of the main feeder. Where possible, total excision followed by proximal ligation of feeders may be a effective ablative technique to manage cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp.
