PURPOSE: This study was designed to explore the attitudes of physicians and nurses. METHOD: Attitudes were measured by using the korean version of the SADP(Scale of Attitudes toward the Disabled Persons : Choi, G. H., & Lam, C. S., 2000). A korean version SADP consist of 24-item, six-point Likert-type scale(the points are -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3, where -3 is disagree very much and +3 is Agree very much), measuring general attitudes toward people with disabilities. The sample included 90 physicians, 114 nurses at a university hospital in Busan. The data were collected using questionnaires, and were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean score, standard deviation, t-test and one-way ANOVA. RESULT: When studying the physicians group by itself, SADP scores tended to increase with women physicians, old age, married, higher educational level, more years of experience, medical unit. When studying the nurses group by itself, SADP scores tended to increase with the age of thirty, single, educational level, more years of experience, surgical unit. But not to a statistically significant degree. CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that the nurses had significantly higher score than the physicians(t=-4.63, p<.001). When studying the physicians group and the nurses group by itself, not to a statistically significant degree.

Forearm bone fractures are difficult to manage, because of their special functions (pronation and supination) and peculiar anatomy. Authors have experienced 68 cases of various types of forearm bone fractures from January, 1968 to December, 1971. They were analized as following. 1. Out of 68 patients, males were 54 cases (79.4%) and females were 14 cases (30.6%). Among them, 91.2% of the cases were occured in people over 15 years old. About 47% of the cases were caused by automobile accidents. 2. Both forearm bone fractures were 51 cases (75%), and most common site of the fractures were mid 1/3(66.2%). Stable (transverse or incomplete) fractures were 24%, and unstable(comminuted, segmental, oblique or spiral) fractures were 76%. Open fractures were 26.5% 3. Conservative treatment was given to 41 cases (60.3%), and open reduction & internal fixation was given to 27 cases (39%). 4. A comparison has been made between the groups treated by conservative method and open reduction & internal fixation. 1) Average healing time of open reduction group was 19.5 weeks and conservative group was 16.4 weeks. 2) Non-union was occured in 7.4% of conservative treatment group, and 22.7% of open reduction group. 3) Satisfactory functional results were shown in 23.5% of conservative group and 54.5% of open reduction & internal fixation group. 4) Rotational deformities were noticed in 53.3% of the conservative treatment group and 54.5% of the open reduction group (No difference was noticed). 5) Angulatory deformities were shown in 70.4% of the conservative treatment group and 44.4% of the open reduction group. 5. Three cases were complicated by cross unoin, and no postoperative wound infection was noted. But two cases of open fracture developed to chronic osteomyelitis.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma has recently become an established diagnosis for some tumors that arise in the musculo-skeletal tissue. But it contains areas that resemble with osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, the microscopic lesions are composed of interlacing bands of fibroblast, bizzare histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells, arranged in storiform pattern. At present, the treatment advocated for malignant fibrous histiocytoma has been total surgical removal and radiation therapy. A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma affecting the proximal tibia is reported with brief review of literature.
