Five patients with isolated avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament were treated in our hospital from September, 1975 to May, 1978. Among the five patients. one was treated conservatively and the others by surgical repair using catgut suture, cancellous bone screw fixation and staple fixation. Four patients were followed from 4 to 10 months poatoperatively. Satisfactory results were obtained in four patients (one was loat in follow up).

Omphalocele is a rare congenital malformation which is a herniation of the abdominal viscera into the base of the umbilical cord. We experienced a ruptured large omphalocele of short duration which contained of intestines, stomach, liver and speen without major of additional anomalies. He was repaired with the simple skin converage as a part of second staged operation. He had an eventful postoperative course but wad discharged on the 52th postoperative days with the good condition and with the plan of repair of ventral hernia about 1 year. Here, the literature on omphalocele was reviewed with the experienced case briefly.

This paper presented a case of athyrotic cretinism in a 4 months old female infant. Durring neonatal 7 period she suffered from prolonged jaundice for about 50 days On admission, elinical manifestations suggesting of hypothyroidism were umbilical hernia, feeding problems due to large tongue, respiratory difficulty, lethargy and skin changes Roengenogram of the long bone series revealed the absence of epiphyseal centers of capitates and hamates in the hands, and cuboids in the feet. Thyroid function test also showed 6.5% and 4.1% at 6 hours and 24 hours after I131 uptake respectively, and T 3 value of 25.1ug/dl and T4 of 3.0ug/dl. On thyroid scan, no evidence of activity of thyroid gland was noted. Complete absence of thyroid tissues on autopsy of this baby confirmed the diagnosis of athyrotic cretinism. The review of the literature Concerning the Congenital hypothyroidism were made briefly.

Primary ureteral tumor accounts for an estimated about 1 percent of all tumors of the urinary tracts. We observed one case of the ureteral tumor in 65 years old male patient and he was treated by complete nephroureterectomy with an excision of a cuff bladder wall around ureteral orifice. A case of primary ureteral tumor was reported with a brief review of the literatures.

STUDY DESIGN: This is a case report. OBJECTIVE: We present here a patient who had a discal cyst of the lumbar spine along with neurological symptoms. SUMMARY OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW: Discal cysts are intraspinal cysts that communicate with an adjacent intervertebral disc, and these are rare lesions that can cause lumbar radiculopathy. Because they are very rare, their natural history and the details of the therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of these cysts are still unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The patient complained of moderate lumbar pain and right lower extremity radiculopathy and he was administered conservative treatment for 5 months. But the radiculopathy became aggravated and he then underwent a hemilaminectomy, cyst decompression and discectomy. RESULTS: The radiculopathy disappeared and any signs of recurrence were not found on the follow up performed at 1 year. CONCLUSION: Discal cyst is rare, but it can be treated successfully.

PURPOSE: To evaluate correlations between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which is associated with tissue remodeling and bone repair and systemic and tissue inflammation in osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty patients who were above grade 2 in Kellgren-Lawrence radiologic classification of osteoarthritis were classified into group 1 (grade 2, 16 patients), group 2 (grade 3, 18 patients) and group 3 (grade 4, 26 patients). All patients were checked C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and total WBC count in the blood and VEGF and total WBC count in the synovial fluid by ELISA. RESULTS: The severe in osteoarthritic change in radiographs, the more VEGF in the synovial fluid (mean value; group 1 82.7 pg/ml, group 2 111.6 pg/ml, group 3 152.6 pg/ml). VEGF in the synovial fluid were related with total WBC count in the blood and in the synovial fluid (p=0.012, p=0.028 respectively), but not related with CRP and ESR in the blood. CONCLUSION: The severe in osteoarthritic change in radiographs, the more VEGF in the synovial fluid. This facts suggested that there were much neovascularization and bone repair in the synovium of advanced osteoarthritis. Therefore further study elucidating mechanisms of tissue remodeling and its associated factors will be needed.

Patients with Crowned dens syndrome typically present with severe neck pain and have calcification around the axial odontoid process on radiographs. To our knowledge, Crowned dens syndrome is unreported in the Korean literature and the clinical features remain unclear. We present Crowned dens syndrome as a cause of acute cervical pain and review the literature.

Solitary juvenile polyps are the most common benign hamartomatous polyps in childhood presenting with painless rectal bleeding. It is rare in solitary juvenile polyps with adenomatous change which is associated with increased risk for gastrointestinal cancer. We report a rare case of a solitary juvenile polyp with adenomatous change and causing colonic intussussection in a 6 year old girl, who presented symptoms of lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and hematochezia. The colonic intussussception was reduced during the colon barium study and a polypoid round mass shadow at the splenic flexure was formed. On colonoscopy, it was seen as a single huge polyp impacted to the splenic flexure lumen. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed. The histologic evaluation revealed the characteristic features of a juvenile poloyps with adenomatous change.

The mechanism of the loosening after arthroplasty is considered that micromotion makes a gap between implant and bone, the subsidence of implant and osteolysis around the implant. The loosening of femoral component after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) might be related to the improper support of posterior condylar area, the causes of which may be inaccurate osteotomy, improper cementing technique and poor bone quality, etc. The authors found four cases of flexed displacement and osteolysis around the femoral component after TKA. The types of implant were one case of PS type and three cases of High Flex PS type. Revision arthroplasty was done in three patients who had severe clinical symptoms with diffuse bone loss around the distal femur. We evaluated the mechanism of the early loosening by clinical and radiologic assessment of four patients.
