Mediastinoscopy*

Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) in early infancy is characteristic by quite shortening of the tight segment, flexed, abducted and externally rotated position In assciation with a stable hip which Is freely mobile. Authors experienced a case with the congenital deficiency of the femoral head. The case showed the normal femoral segment and no any other bony anomalies which cannot be Included in Aitkens or Amstutz's classification.

The author have statistically observed growth pattern of LBW infants born at NMC obstetric ward for 4 years form Jan. 1972 rtrough Dec, 1975. LBW infants were divided ino 2 groups, preterm and small-for-date infants and compared with normal full-term delivered infants group for height and weight. Following results were obtained 1) As compared with NFD infants group, preterm infants group revealed ststistically meaningful difference in height and weight until 5-6 months of age. Thereafter no difference was noticed. But, SFD group showed difference in height and weight until 1 year of age. 2) Preterm infants group was found to have a greater growth velocity than SFD group in 4-7 months of age, SFD group showed relatively similar increment of height and weight with NFD group. 3) Mean heght and weight of LBW infants were below NFD gronp until 1 year of age. Growth velocity ws similar with NFD group, so handicaps of LBW infants were not overcome statistically during 1 year after birth.

ACL plays an important role in stability of knee joint and its injury causes instability of joint which is known as the initiation of problem knee. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament would be preferred to the primary repair in treatment. And recently with the advance of arthroscopic technique and development of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPB) graft material, the result of reconstruction is somewhat superior to that of primary repair. Authors compared the results of 20 primary repairs (Group I ) and 20 reconstructions (Group II) among 64 acute ACL injury treated Sung-Ae General Hospital from January 1989 to December 1994. The results were as follows: 1. Most common associated injuries were medial collateral ligament rupture and medial meniscal tear. 2. Group I showed postoperatively 13 negative anterior drawer test, 12 negative Lachmann test and 12 negative pivot shift test and group II showed postoperatively 17 negative anterior drawer test, 15 negative Lachmann test and 17 negative pivot shift test. (p<0.05) 3. In postoperative Lysholm knee scoring scale, group I showed 86 points and group II showed 93 points (p<0.05). 4. In postoperative KT-1000 arthrometer, 12 cases in Group I and 16 cases in Group II showed less than 2mm difference with sound side (p<0.05).

The fat embolism syndrome is a complication which encounters rarely after fractures of pelvis and long bones of lower extremity of severe injury of soft tissue, and may results in microinfarctions in lungs, brain, heart, kidneys and other important organs when fat globules flow from bone marrow into small vessels. And that is the one of the main cause of death within 72 hours after major trauma of long bones. Diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome was made by clinical criteria by Gurd, but, majority of cases didn't show characteristic clinical symptoms or signs. Recently CT and MRI of the brain are adopted to the diagnosis of FFS as a new method. Authors experiences six cases of fat embolism syndrome from Mar. 1991 to Mar. 1994 and analyzed the brain MRI findings. We concluded that the brain MRI findings such as diffuse brain swelling, petechial hemorrhage and microinfarctions were helpful to diagnose clinically apparent or subclinical fat embolism syndrome.
