Synovial sarcoma is comparatively uncommon and highly malignant tumor, which usually arises in proximity to a joint and may affect the adjacent bones. Occurence in finger and severe bony involvement are rare. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the thumb, because the tumor arose in an unusual site and was characterized by severe bony destruction.

A clinical analysis was done on 129 patients (131 cases) of the ankle fractures that were admitted and treated in Orthopedic Department, Inchon Christian Hospital from January 1973 to December 1980. The following results were obtained: l. Of the 129 patients, male was 104 patients and female 25 patients, the average age of the patients was 37. 2. The main cause of the injuries was traffic accident (38.2%), and the remain causes were industrial accident (28.2%), fall down (18.3%), slip down (11.5%), and sports injury (3.8%) in order. 3. The most common type by Lauge-Hansen classification was supination-external rotation type (37.4%). 4. In method of treatment, operative treatment was done in 72 cases and nonoperative in 59 cases. 5 The average duration of the cast immobilization in nonoperative treatment was 8 weeks and operative 7 weeks. 6. The better result was obtained by operative treatment than nonoperative one. 7. The most poor result was noticed in pronation-external rotation type according to Lauge-Hansen classification. 8. We agree that the accurate reduction of the lateral malleolus make the talus in good anatomic position in ankle joint. 9. We agree that Lauge-Hansen classification is useful in diagnosis and treatment of ankle fracture.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine whether MMPI scores could discriminate between normal group and exaggerated pain group and predict treatment prognosis in exaggerated pain group. METHODS: For psychological evaluation, MMPI was administered to 37 low back pain patients and 36 normal controls. MMPI findings in two groups were compared, using t-test and discriminant function analysis. Nineteen patients of exaggerated low back pain group contacted by telephone were questioned about treatment satisfaction degree. And satisfaction group(9 patients)nd dissatisfaction group(6 patients)s MMPI findings were compared. RESULT: Hy, Hs, D scale scores in exaggerated pain group were higher than in control group. In discriminant function analysis by Hs, Hy, and D, percent of correctly classified 'gouped' cases was 74%. Discriminant function of Hy scale was the highest and that of D scale was the lowest. In satisfaction degree study, no finding was significant. CONCLUSION: MMPI findings were effective in discriminating between exaggerated pain group and normal control group. Further researches will need more structured and comprehensive approach.
