Acetabular fractures assume great clinical importance because acetabular is weight bearing joint in the lower extremity. The undisplaced fractures of the acetabulum gave satisfactory results with closed method, but the treatment of displaced fractures have been controversial. A clinical analysis was performed on the 72 patients with displaced acetabular fractures, who had been treated at Soonchunhyang University Hospital from January 1980 to December 1989. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The prevalent age ranged from 21 to 50 years, which comprised 86.1% of all, and the ratio between male and female was 3:l. 2. The most common cause of injury was traffic accident, which comprised 76.4%. 3. According to Letournel's classification, simple fracture was 38 cases (52.8%), associated fracture was 34 cases (47.2%) and hip dislocation was associated in 28 cases (38.9%) and most common was posterior (20.8%). 4. Closed treatment was done in 47 cases and open treatment in 25 cases. 5. Results of open treatment group were better than closed treatment group in both clinical and roentgenographic study. 6. The complication were occured in 14 (29.8%) out of 47 cases of closed treatment group, and 10 (40.0%) out of 25 cases of open treatment group. 7. Not only choice of treatment but also determination of surgical approach require accurate assessment of the fracture pattern in this region of complex bony architecture by careful radilogic analysis.

The "flosting knee" is the term applied to the flail knee joint segment resulting from a fracture of the shaft of adiacent metanhysis of the ipsilateralfemur and tibia. The various methods of treatment of the "floating knee" were adapted by many authors according to degree of the comminution, degree of the soft tissue injury, general condition state of the fracture. Authors experienced the floating knee in 52 cases on 51 patients who were treated at Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital in the period of 4 years and 5 months from January 1985 to June 1989 and among them, 45 cases were treated by operative method and 7 cases by conservative methods at least one of the femur and tibia, The results were as follews;1. Floating Knee occured six times more in male and the peak age was third and fourth decades. 2. The most common cause of fractures was traffie aecident and there was difficulty in diagnosis of ligamentous disruption of the ipsilateral knee. 3. The common fracture site were middle one third and the most common fracture shape was comminuted in both femur and tibia. 4. A good or excellent functional result was aohieved in treated with open reduction and rigid fixation of both fracture and there were no significant difference in group of the internal fixation of both femur and tibia. 5. Intramedullary nailing on the femur and plate fixation on the tibia provided rigid fixation of fracture and the it made possible early joint motion exercise and ambulation and the average healing time of fracuture was much shortened. 6. The most common concomitant injury were soft tissue injury and delayed or nonuion and osteomyelitis were developed more frequently in the plate and screw fixation group of the open fracture.

The diagnosis of internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT), a vascular disorder, can be easily overlooked. Disruption of blood flow through the internal jugular vein can take place in a variety of clinical settings. CT and ultrasonography are useful diagnostic tools. Recently, we experienced a case of IJVT after deep neck infection. This case showed sore throat, odynophagia and swelling of right submandibular area. CT scan revealed diffuse neck swelling and incomplete occlusion of the right internal jugular vein at the thyroid level. Treatment began with antibiotics and hydration. We present a case of IJVT after deep neck infection with literature review.

There are many controversies concering primary treatment of fractures of the tibial shaft. Recently, flexible intramedullary nailing for the tibial shaft fracture has gained popularity, because of promotimg osteogenesis with early weight bearing and preventing ankylosis of the joints. Authors carried out retrospective study of the 142 tibial shaft fractures in 141 patients, and results were as analyzed. The results were as follow:l. Among 141 patients, 116 cases were male and 25 cases were female. The average age was 37 years and the most cause of injury was traffic accident. 2. The number of cases of closed and open fractures were 71 cases, respectively. The most common type of the fracture was comminuted and the level was middle third. 3. The number nails were inserted from two to five according to width of the medullary cavity and to gain of the stability after reduction at the fracture site. 4. Average bone union in X-ray was 17.8 weeks, 96 cases were united within 20 weeks and 43 cases were united after 21 weeks. 5. Complications were 3 cases of non-union and 17 cases of valgus deformity, within 12 degrees.

Many technics have geen tried to avoid the adverse effects of succinylcholine administered for endotracheal intubation especially with the complications of hyperkalemia, aspiration pneumonis, increased intraocular pressure and postoperative muscle pain. One of these is that the prior administration of a small subparalizing dose of nondepolarizing muscle relaxant would shorten the onset time of an intubating dose of muscle relaxant. However, the priming dose, the intubating dose, and the time interval between these doses requires better definition. This study was undertaken to determine the intubating dose of a nondepolarizing agent, pancuronium bromide under the condition of fixed priming dose and administration interval time. Fifty five patients were divided randomly into three groups, administered intubating dose of 60(group l), 80(group ll) and 100(group lll) ug/kg including 20, 20 and 15 cases, respectively. The results are as follows: 1) Nine patients complained of blurred vision or diplopia after the administration of priming dose. 2) There was no difference of intubation condition between one and another group. 3) In the low grading of intubation condition, female patients were more distrbuted and better facilitated endotrscheal intubation than male patients(p<0.05). 4) There was no difference of interval time between the administration of intubating dose and the maximum depression of TOF in each group. The interval revealed 7.0+/-3.3, 6.2+/-3.3 and 5.4+/-2.4min. in l, ll and lll group, respectively. 5) The interval time between the administration of intubating dose and reappeared first twitch of TOF revealed 36.6+/-18.3, 45.7+/-17.6 and 65.4+/-22.2 min. in l, ll and lll group, respectively. The interval in group lll was significantly longer than that in group l and ll(p<0.05). In conclusion, the priming and intubating doses may not be required in the divided doses of pancuronium more than 15 and 100ug/kg, respectively.

PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of the in-phase(IP) sequence and the opposed-phase(OP) sequence in the detection of focal hepatic lesions in the single breath-hold hepatic MR imaging with fast gradient T1-weighted pulse sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: If and OP T1-weighted breath-hold imaging was performed using fast gradient echo sequences in 45 patients referred for known focal hepatic lesions, in which 78 lesions were detected. There blind readers independently reviewed the images for lesion detectability. The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of the liver, the lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR) and the liver-to-spleen CNR were also compared. A consensus was reached by three readers to determine which sequence is better in image quality. RESULTS: On OP images, 61(78%), 61(78%), and 63(89%) lesions were correctly identified for reader 1, 2 and 3, respectively. On IP images, 66(85%), 65(83%), and 65(93%) lesions were detected for each reader, respectively. When two image sets were combined, 71(91%), 69(88%), and 76(97%) lesions respectively were detected for each reader. In cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, liver-to-lesion CNR was greater on the OP images(p<0.05), but in other lesions significant differences was not demonstrated. Liver-to-spleen CNR was higher in OP images(p<0.1), but the SNR of the liver was higher on the If images. CONCLUSION: Use of both If and OP imaging can be helpful to avoid erroneous missing of some focal hepatic lesions.
