A case of osteold osteoma was presented because of its rarity in number particularly in localization of tumor, that is, subperiosteal in position. Also we could treat the patient successfully by surgical intervention and the removed specimen preserved beautifully all the character and contour of the tumor grossly and microsoopically.

In spite of decreasing the rate of industrial accident, the number of injured work people has been rising up tendency in Korea recently. Above twe third of the accident was involved in extremities and many of them were obtained limitation of range of motion of joint. The authores analyse the 325 cases with limitation of joint who were treated at Industrial Rehabilitation Center during the two years of period from May 1973 to April 1975 and the results were as follows: 1. Most cases were male (94.5%) and age group of predominance was 3rd and 4th decades. 2. The highest incidence of causative injury was fracture (80.9%) 3. The greatest number of involved joints occured at knee (31%), and higher incidence in joints of lower limb and of right side. 4. Among the 325 cases, 40% was treated for 9–12 weeks and average duration of treatment was 87 days. 5. There was marked increasing range of motion in 31% but not improved in 13.5%. 6. 137 out of 325 cases was able to move more than 75% of full range of motion of joint involved. 7. Surgery for the restoration was performed in 39 cases (12.0%).

The elbow region is the most common site at which the ulnar nerve is prone to a localized neuropathy. Diagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at elbow is made on the basis of history, lacal neurologic finding, nerve conduction studies and electromyography. Electrophysiologic test is simple, relatively quick, and accurate method for the diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesion. Therefore, electrodisgnosis makes it possible to identify and localize the early stage of entrapment lesion. Definitive diagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at elbow requires electromyographic demonstration of decreased ulnar nerve conduction velocity across the elbow and depressed sensory nerve action potentials. The purpose of this study were to analyze the electrophysiologic findings of patients with an established ulnar nerve entrapment at elbow compared to normal eonduction velocity of our laboratory. And we evaluate the correlation of clinical symptom with the electromyographic findings. Twenty five subjects were studied, 22 men and 3 women, aged from 5 to 62 years. The results were as follows . 1. The mean motor conduction velocity of ulnar nerve across elbow were 32.85±10.21 m/sec. The longer duration of symptom were, the slower conduction veloctity across elbow were. 2. Among the 25 patients, motor conduction velocity of ulnar nerve at forearm segment decreased in 15 patients(60%). As the motor conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve across elbow became slower, thst of forearm segment were slower. 3. In 19 patients (76%) among the 25 patients, sensory evoked potentials revealed prolonged distal latency or were not evoked. 4. On needle electrodiagnostic study, positive sharp wave or fibrillation potentials could be found in abductor digiti minimi first dorsal interosseus and/or flexor carpi ulnaris muscles in 22 patients(88%).

Since Palmer's introduction of the torn medial collateral ligament, many clinical and anatomical studies were performed. But any reconstructive procedure of the medial collateral ligament of the knee known to us, has not solved the problem completely yet. The purpose of present study is to describe a technique of reconstruction, socalled Tatsuzawa's tenodesis surgery of transposed semitendinosus tendon, and is to report the clinical results of 45 cases treated by his procedure between April 1976 and June 1981. In addition, significance of the procerdure was compared with the result of primary closure group of the torn ligament. Tatsuzawa's procedure consists of reinforcement surgery of the repaired or unrepaired torn medial collateral ligament with forwardly transposed semitendinosus. The semitendinosus tendon was brought forward to lie adjacent to deep layer of the medial collateral ligament. The transposed part of the tendon was sutured throughout its length to the medial collateral ligament and to the medial aspect of the tibia and femoral condyle. Because the direction of transposed tendon as similar to the direction of fibers of medial collateral ligament, the procedure was very simple and anatomical one, and had some functional advantages. In this series some old cases are treated only with tendon reinforcement operation without repairing the laxed torn ligament. The results of the surgery were evaluated by the Asais modification of the Feltons evaluation criteria. Results obtained were as follows: 1. In semitendinosus tenodesis with or without primary repair of the torn ligament, satisfactory results were obtained (excellent and good) in 33 cases (73.3%). But in 20 cases of the primary repair group, the satisfactory results were obtained in 11 cases (55%). More satisfactory results were obtained with the semitendinosus tendon reinforcement operation of the torn ligament than only with primary repair. 2. In 29 cases with fresh injury of the medial collateral ligament in which the primary repair together with the tendon reinforcement procedure was performed, satisfactory (excellent and good) results were obtained in 72.4% (21 cases), and in 16 untreated old cases in which only the tendon reinforcement procedure were done, satisfactory results were obtained in 75%. 3. In 5 cases having medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments tear, excellent results were obtained in 3. This explains that semitendinosus tendon reinforcement procedure is the key one of the reconstructive operative procedures. It is thought that the procedure is also effective for the anterior cruciate tear to provide the anterior instability.
