The managements of fractures of femoral shaft in children differ in many ways from those in adults. Fourty eight cases of fractures of femoral shaft in children who were treated at Masan Korea General Hospital from March 1981 to February 1984 were analyzed both clinically and radiologically and the following results were obtained. l. Among 48 cases, the ratio of male and female was about 2.7:1 and the highest incidence was between the age of 3 and 8 years(52.1%). 2. The main cause of fracture was traffic accident(66.7%) and the other was falling or slip down injury. 3. Middle 1/3 of femoral shaft was most commonly injured(45.8%) and transverse type was common (41.7 %). 4. The common associated injuries were head injuries, fracture of the lower extremities and fracture of pelvis. 5. 43 cases were treated with traction method and 5 with open reduction and internal fixation. 6. In general, angulation at fracture site was under 10 degrees and no clinical deformity was resulted in. 7. Among 48 cases, overring of fractured fragment was occured in 28 cases and the average length of overring was 7.5mm.

The fibrous dysplasia, divided into 3 categories of the monostotic, polyostotic and extraskeletal forms, is a relatively rare disease which was first reported by Well in 1922 and shows a characteristic findings replacing the medullary cavity of noe or more bones by the pathologically proliferating fibrous connective tissues. In a consequence, the structural integrity of the diseased bone becomes weakened and suffers frequent episodes of pathologic fracture and deformities of the bone, which are most common around the hip. Various operative methods and instruments have been tried to manage the pathologic fracture around the hip recently. The authors report a satisfactory resnlt of total hip replacement for the pathologic fracture in a patient of the fibrous dysplasia involving the proximal half of the right femur.

The authors had experienced 24 cases of aeromioclavicular dislocation from 1980 to 1988 at Korea university Haehwa hospital with at least 6 months follow up. They were treated by modified Phemister method. Ther were twenty-three males and one female. The ages ranged from eighteen to fifty-eight, the average was 31.6 years. The following results were obtained. 1. The most common cause of injuries was sports injury, followed by fall down and traffic accident. 2. There were twenty-two type III and type IV according to Rockwood and Green classification. 3. Duration between injury and operation were less than 1 week in 21 cases, between 1 to 2 weeks in 2 cases and more than 2 weeks in 1 case. 4. Clinical results according to Ejeskar classification were excellent in 16 cases(66.7%), good in 6 cases(25%), and acceptable in 2 cases(8.3%). 5. There were five complications : two K-wire breakage, two recurrent dislocation and one lateral end fracture of right clavicle.

Scaphoid fractures are the most common fracture and early diagnoses are very important because of preventing from serious complications such as nonunion, avascular necrosis, and disability of wrist joint. There are a few reports of clinical survey of scaphoid fractures, but not to be reported the evaluation for the close relation among mechanism, modes of treatment, especially operation and late complications. This paper reports more clear corelationships among them as mentioned as above through clinical study of scaphoid fractures. The authors have surveyed the clinical study of 26 cases of scaphoid fractures from July, 1983 to November, 1989 at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Haewha hospital of Korea University. The following conclusions were obtained through clinical survey. 1. Among 26 cases, they were 25 males and one female between 20 and 50 years of age, and ocalization was 16 in right and 10 in left. They were 21 fresh fractures and five nonunions. 2. Mechanism of injuries had revealed fall down or slip down in 13 cases, roller injury in five cases, fisting injury in four cases, direct trauma in two cases, and traffic accident in two cases. Fracture loeation was four cases in proximal 1/3, 17 cases in middle 1/3, and five cases in distal 1/3. 3. Operations using volar approachs in 12 cases and dorsal approachs in three cases had been done for ten cases of displaced fresh fractures and five cases of neglected nonunions. 4. Eleven undisplaced fresh fractures were treated with short arm thumb spica cast but one with. long arm cast. Of ten displaced fresh fractures treated by open reduction, seven cases were treated with Herbert screw, two cases with K-wire, and one case with treated by open reduction and bone graft with Herbert screw fixation in three cases, K-wire fixation in one case, and open reduction with bone graft in one case. 5. Unions were obtained at average 11.5 weeks in eight of 11 cases treated with conservative treatment for fresh fractures, 12 weeks in eight of 10 open reduction cases of fresh fractures, and 20 weeks in three of five neglected nonunion cases. 6. Of eleven conservatively treated cases, two cases resulted in nonunion and other one case in avascular necrosis. Of ten treated with open reduction, one complicated in delayed union, other one nonunion. Of five neglected nonunion cases treated by open reduction added with bone graft, one remained in nonunion and other one case complicated with arthritis and nonunion.
