We reviewed 20 cases for the surgical effect of the vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscle for AV syndrome without significant oblique dysfuction. We performed vertical tranposition of the horizontal rectus muscle with standard recession and resection procedure and followed up at least six months. Sixteen cases were V syndrome and four cases were A syndrome. Medial rectus was moved toward the apex of the A or V, and the lateral rectus was moved to the opposite side of the apex of the A or V. The amount of transposition was adjusted according to the amount of vertical incomitance. If the vertical incomitance was 10delta, 15delta, 20deltaand 25delta, vertical transposition of rectus muscle was 1/4 TW[tendon width], 1/2 TW, 3/4 TW amd 1 TW, respectively. We achieved an average of 12.9deltareduction by 1/4 TW transposition, 14.4deltareduction by 1/2 TW transposition, 13.3delta reduction by 3/4 TW transposition, 19.0deltareduction by 1 TW transposition. We also achieved an average of 5.2delta/mm effect by 1/4 TW transposition, 2.9delta/mm effect by 1/2 TW transposition, 2.4 delta/mm effect by 3/4 TW transposition, 1.9delta/mm effect by 1 TW transposition. The vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscle for AV syndrome without significant oblique dysfuction showed good result and the amount of correction per mm of vertical transposition seemed to decrease as the amount of transposition increased, even though the total amount of correction showed a trend toward increasing [Fig.1, 2].

This study aimed to confirm the presence of motor fibers in the cervical nerves distributing to the trapezius muscle. Thirteen cases were examined. Motor fibers were present in C3 in 7 of 9 cases (77.8%) and were absent in 2 of 9 cases (22.3%); the other 4 cases were damaged during dissection. C4 exhibited motor fibers in 9 of 10 cases (90.0%), whereas motor fibers were absent in 1 of 10 cases (10.0%); and 3 cases were damaged. The motor fibers in C3 were of medium size (57.1%; 4/7 cases), whereas those in C4 were large (44.4%; 4/9 cases). The average number of motor fibers in C3 and C4 were 114+/-112 and 219+/-167, respectively. These results show that C4 is more important in terms of the frequency and size of the cervical motor fibers distributing to the trapezius muscle.

Study was conducted in laboratory condition for investagating the relationship between muscle strain and arm positions. Rerults showed that: the bio-potential of brachioradialis, deltoid and trapezius muscles were significant higher when the arms were elevated at haft-arm length. The trapezius had highest bio-potential than the other left. The subjective shoulder pain occurred after 15-17 mimutes of experiment. When was higher hio-potential, that the muscle pain was more obvious. The accumulation of pain can be considered as reason of that called Neck-Shoulder Disorders.

Many origins and insertions of an axillary muscular slip (also known as Langer's or axillary arch muscles) have been documented previously. In this report, we found duplicated axillary arch muscles (two variant muscular slips) originating from the inferolateral border of the right side latissimus dorsi muscle. Obviously, these axillary arch muscles can be distinguished as short and long muscular strips. While the origin was the same, the short muscular slip inserts into the fascia covering on the pectoralis minor, whereas the longer one inserts on/into the aponeurosis of pectoralis major. For the surgery in the axillary region, this rare variation should be considered a cause of surgical interventions.

Numerous authors published tables showing the amount of strabismus surgery and the effectivity. Although Scobee and Knapp etc. stressed the difficulty of making an accurate prediction of strabismus surgery. the standardized formula of the surgical treatment of strabismus has long been the ambition of ophthalmologist. Author agreed with the opinion of Dyer who provided the ophthalmologist with excellent tables suggesting combinations of muscles and amount of surgery to correct various types of strabismus and so 132 cases of comitant horizontal strabismus treated surgically with Dyer method at Kong Eye Clinic from August 1975 to July 1976 were analyzed. With author's data. this paper present a mathematical formula to estimate the amount of strabismus surgery.
