Treatments of tibia shaft fracture are closed reduction followed by cast immobilization, external fixation, intramedullary nailing and internal fixation with plate and screws. Among these, intramedullary nailing is commonly used method today. The tibia nailing has high rate of union, but malunion, infection, the joint stiffness and anterior knee pain develops frequently. We reviewed the clinical and radiological result of anterior knee pain retrospectively after tibia nailing. The result were as follows: l. Age distribution of tibia shaft fracture was 17 to 76, and mean age was 40 male patients were 35 and female 13. 2. The open fractures were 17 and the closed fractures were 34. 3. The causes of' tibia shaft fracture were traffic accidents(30cases), fall down injuries(6 cases), slip down injuries(1 1 cases) and other injuries(4 cases) Among the these, 19 cases were cornbined with other fractures or neuri.isurgical injuries. 4. The incision methods were recorded as follows: parapatella tendon incision were 9 cases, patella splitting incision were 25 cases and unrecorded were 17cases. 5. According to the radiological analysis, the average nail plateau distance was 10.3mm and the extent of nail protrusion beyond the anterior cortex was -1.73mm. Among these, protrusion of proximal targeting screws were 8 cases. 6. Insertion of nail through the patella tendon was associated with a hipher incidence of knee pain compared to paratendon site of insertion. The extent of nail protrusion were related to anterior knee pain after tibia intramedullary nailing.

Aortic transection or interruption is a rare condition which developed after an acute deceleration injury. Its occurrence depends on the location and direction of the force applied and is usually from motor vehicle accident or falling down. The exact incidence of aortic transection in trauma is not known but, when develops, only about 10-15% of the victims can furtive and be transported to the hospital. Even in the survivors, majority of them will be fatal within a few days if a prompt diagnosis and surgical treatments are not made. Aggressive diagnostic work-up is recommended for the patients with high suspicious index, which would salvage the victims with this fatal condition. We report the experience of two cases of aortic transection or interruption following motor vehicle accidents.

Antiphospholipid antibodies are found in association with collagen-vascular diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus[SLE]. As the laboratory tests suggest impaired coagulation, the patients having antiphospholipid Ab have been reported to be prone to develop thrombosis. The authors present three patients with antiphospholipid antibodies in SLE who had suffered from retinal vascular occlusions. Case 1 with central retinal vein occlusion who had both lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin Ab resulted in visual loss. Case 2 with branch retinal vein occlusion who was positive for only lupus anticoagulant experienced moderate visual disturbance. Case 3 with branch retinal artery occlusion who was positive for both lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin Ab died without ocular follow-up examination. We consider that SLE patients with the antiphospholipid Ab may be at high risk to develop disturbances in vision due to thromboembolism from a hypercoagulable state.

Although posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT) has been a standard thoracic incision in resection surgery of the lung for surgeons to achieve a good surgical field, there remains concern about severing a group of thoracic muscles remains. Muscle-sparing vertical thoracotomy (MVT) is an alternative to PLT, which gives cosmetic result and may preserve motion of the shoulder girdle as well as respiratory function of the patient in the early postoperative period. However, surgeons tend not to perfer it because of limited surgical field from the vertical wound made on the lateral thoracic wall. The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of PLT versus MVT. We retrospectively reviewed 29 patients (15 who had PLT and 14 who had MVT, organized into those two groups) who had undergone lung resection surgery in our institute. There were no clinical differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, estimated amount of blood loss during the operation, amount of chest drainage on the first and the second postoperative day, duration of chest tube placement, incidence and amount of transfusion, and postoperative complications. We conclude that, from our limited experience, MVT can be applied to lung resection surgery as safely as PLT and that it may have a beneficial role for the patient with compromised lung function in addition to cosmetic effect.
