Authors examined the morphology and size in the maxillary lateral insicor from Korean adults and the following conclusion have been drawn. 1. In the shapes of labial surface in maxillary lateral incisors, the quite prominent middle lobe, moderate prominent middle lobe, less prominent midd1e lobe were 20.60%, 69.85%, 9.55%, respectively. 2. In the shapes of incisal margin in maxillary lateral incisors, the arc shaped to the distal, round, nearly straight were 24.96%, 60.20%, 15.11%, respectively. 3. In the shapes of incisal angle in maxillary lateral incisors, the equal sized mesioincisal angle and distoincisal angle, larger distoincisal angle, much larger distoincisal angle were 8.36%. 67.34%, 24.30%, respectively. 4. In the shapes of lingual surface in maxillary lateral incisors, the marked shovel (Ms), semi-shovel (Ss), trace shovel (Ts), no shovel (No) were 43.00%, 33.50%, 19.50%, 4.00%, respectively. 5. The size of the maxillary lateral incisors were as follows. 6. In comparison with Wheeler's data, crown length, crown width and crown thickness were larger in Korean adult, but the degree of cervical curvature were smallest.

Eighty one cases of the pelvic fractures treated at the orthopedic department of Pusan National University Hospital during the period from January 1960 to August 1970, were analyzed clinically. The results obtained were as follow: 1. The causes of fractures of the pelvic bone were mostly due to traffic accident (83%), industrial injury (7.4%), fall from a height (6%) and direct injury (3.7%). 2. 60% of the pelvic bone fractures were complicated by other bone fractures and soft tissue injuries. 3. The most common complication was the injury of the urinary system, and in neglected cases to treat it, severe sequellae such as stricture and urinary fistula were developed. 4. In cases of perineal laceration, it was possible to associate the infection to the adjacent hip joint by direct spread. 5. Open fracture associating severe soft tissue injury had poor prognosis. 4 cases out of 5deaths had open fractures. 6. The main cause of death was the hypovolemic shock due to intrapelvic bleeding. Therefore, immediate massive transfusion as life-saving measure was stressed.

Five cases of corticosteroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head which were experienced at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College, are reported with review of literature. All patients received corticosteroids for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Prednisolone was the most common drug used, having been given to 3 patients. Two patients has received Dexacortisil alone or in combination with other corticosteroids. There was a considerable variation in the dosage, but in every case the dosage was in excess of physiological replacement. The total dosage administered in each patient was impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy. The duration of corticosteroid treatment varied. The shortest known period of treatment in this series was 12 months, the longest 60 months. The avascular necrosis noted in the eight femoral heads was treated conservatively in three and surgically in five. As a whole, metallic pinning in two cases, associating the fracture of the neck, cup arthroplasty in one and Austin-Moore hip prosthesis in two cases were performed. Five hips restored satisfactory range of motions, despite of the types of surgery.

This study was to investigate the various parts of the mandible related to inferior alveolar nerve conductive anesthesia in 228 dry skulls of Korean adults. Five morphological variations were observed and four measurements were undertaken. The following results were obtained. 1. The Position of coronoid notch in the anterior border of the ramus of mandible is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (Coronoid notch in the middle part of the anterior border of the ramus of mandible) : 83.3% Type II (Coronoid notch in the inferior part of the anterior border of the ramus of mandible) : 12.7% Type III (No coronoid notch in the anterior border of the ramps of mandible) : 4.0% 2. The position of the lingula of mandible to the imaginary line of the molar occlusal plane is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (Above the imaginary line of the mandibular molar occlusal plane) : 87.3% Type II (Coincide with the imaginary line of the mandibular molar occlusal plane) : 8.6% Type III (Below the imaginary of mandibular molar occlusal plane) : 4.3% 3. The position of the lingula of the mandible in the internal oblique line-posterior border of the ramus of mandible dimension is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (Anterior part in the internal oblique line-posterior border of the ramus of mandible dimension) : 82.9% Type II (Middle part in the internal oblique line-posterior border of the ramus of mandible dimension) : 11. 4% Type III (Posterior part in the internal oblique line-posterior border of the ramus of mandible dimension) : 5.7% 4. The position of the apex of the lingula of mandible to the deepest point of the coronoid notch in the anterior border of the ramus of mandible is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (Coincide with the deepest point of the coronoid notch) : 82.0% Type II (Above the deepest point of the coronoid notch) : 13.2% Type III (Below the deepest point of the coronoid notch) : 4.8% 5. The position of the apex of the lingula of mandible to the imaginary line of the mandibular molar occlusal plane is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (Above the 8mm) : 65.7% Type II (Above the 5mm) : 18.6% Type III (Above the 10mm) : 15.7% 6. Angle between the line connecting the apex of the lingula of mandible-1-2 premolars in the contralateral side and median line of the mandible is classified into three types and percentage of each type was as follows : Type I (50°) : 67.2% Type II (45°) 21.4% Type III (55°) : 11.4% 7. The averages of the measurement of the various bony landmarks of the mandible related to inferior alveolar nerve conductive anesthesia were as follows : ① Distance from deepest point of the coronoid notch to internal oblique line : 9.2mm ② Distance from internal oblique line to the apex of the lingula of mandible : 11.6mm ③ Distance from deepest point of the coronoid notch to apex of the lingula of mandible : 19.7mm ④ Height of the lingula of mandible : 9.8mm

Osteochondroma is the most common of the benign bone tumors. They are probably developmental malformations rather than true neoplasms. But rarely they develope in a joint, especially in the ankle joint. We reported a case of intraarticular osteochondromatosis of ankle joint.
