Fisting is an uncommon sexual activity, and death due to fisting is very rare. In the present report, we describe a case of a woman who died from fisting by her male partner. A 38-year-old woman went to a motel with a man after consuming alcohol, and there they kissed each other. As desired by woman, the man inserted his fingers into her vagina and anus, and later inserted his fist and forearm into her vagina and anus. After 20-30 minutes of fisting, the woman became unconscious and died. The autopsy confirmed the presence of perineal and vaginal lacerations with massive internal pelvic soft tissue injury with uterine artery rupture. A partial tear was noted at the rectosigmoid junction. The cause of death was hypovolemic shock due to uterine artery rupture. Following court trials, the assailant was sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment for the felony of inflicting bodily injury resulting in death.

Cardiovascular measurement on PA teleroentgenogram of the chest is simple, but very useful in the diagnosis,prognosis, and therapy of hypertensive patients. The authors have measured and calculated cardiothoracic ratio,Lt, to Rt. cardiac diameter ratio, and Lt, aortic knob width to thoracic diameter ration for evaluation of theeffect of blood pressure and age in hypertensive group. We used materials of 70mm fluorography of 255 hypertensivemen above 150/90mmHg chosen from national police hospital during Jan. from Aug. 1981. Their age ranged from 20 to50 yeras. The results were as follows. 1. Cardiomegaly (above 50 percents in cardiothoracic ration) ofhypertensive men is 26%. 2. The cardiothoracic ration increased progressively with blood pressure and age, butpooly correlated between cardiothoracic ration and age than blood pressure. 3. The Lt. to Rt. cardiac diameterration gave similar trend to the cardiothoracic ration. It indicates that hypertensive cardiac enlargement mainlydepned on Lt. Ventricular enlargement. 4. The Lt. aortic knob width to thoracic diameter ration increasedprogressively with blood pressure and age, and had linear correlationship with blood pressure and age. Therefore,prominence of aortic knob is the most significant finding in hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

Authors presented the gratifying result of treatment of chronic osteomyelitis with overlying skin defect and/or poor skin condition, which developed the wide skin necrosis after saucerization and resulted the second skin graft necessary. Five cases were treated by primary extensive saucerization of tibia which left a cavity with bleeding walls. The exposed bony surface with bleeding walls was covered by delayed free skin graft when the good granulation covered the bony surface. Through this experience, delayed free skin graft is justified the best procedure in these cases to cover the post-surgical raw bone surface and to have primary healing of the bone infection. A method of hemicylindrical pedunculated skin graft to obliterate the deeply excavated surgical bony defect is introduced.

Chordoma is a rare distinctively malignant tumor thought to be histogenetically related to the primitive notochord, It is locally infiltrative but does not metastasize until late. The usual initial symptom is pain or some symptom caused by involvement of the nervous system. Involed in the order of frequency are the sacro-coccygeal area, the spheno-occipital area, and the other vertebral area. This case is a sacro-coccygeal chordoma that is confirmed by histologic examination. The lesion was treated by complete excision.

The principal cause of avulsion fracture of anterior superior iliac spine is sudden powerful contraction of sartorius muscle in strenuous sporting activities. The condition usually occurs in young people in whom the apophysis has still not firmly united to the ilium. We presented the three cases of avulsion fracture of anterior superior iliac spine which occurred during sprinting in Physical Fitness Test.

The incidence of non-union in the shaft of femur is increasing gradually in spite of considerably improved methods of femoral fracture care. It is necessary that orthopaedic surgeon must draw attention to improve the method of treatment and to prevent the occurance of non-union. This paper presents the follow-up result of 27 cases among 30 established femoral shaft non-union cases, that were treated at the orthopaedic dept. of the National Medical Center from March 1971 to March 1980 by various methods. The study of this series shows the following. l. Amount 27 cases, male was predominant (82%), peak age group was 3rd & 4th decades (52%). 2. The causes of injury were auto-accident (56%), falling down accident (22%), direct blow (11%) & slipping down accident (11%). 3. The most common location was around the mid-shaft of femur (44.4%). 4. The probable causes of non-union were loosening of the implants & metal failure due to improper internal fixation (10 cases), incomplete reduction (7 cases), infection (5 cases) & inadenaute external immobilization (5 cases). 5. Excellent results were obtained by combined method of compression plate, screws & intramedullary nailing with additional autogenous bone graft.

The pinching motion is thought to be one of fundamental hand functions, the power of which has been quantified by measuring it isometrically with variously devised pinch-meters. The present authors describe the investigations on the pinching power of 350 healthy persons, 200 male and 150 female Koreans, by the use of Preston Pinch Gauge. Six kinds of pinch were chosen: (1) thumb index finger tip pinch (1-2TP), (2) thumb-middle finger tip pinch (1-3TP), (3) thumb-index finger pulp pinch (1-2PP), (4) thumb-middle finger pulp pinch (1-3PP), (5) thumb-index-middle finger pulp pinch (3PP), (6) key pinch (KP), which were classified again into 19 kinds according to the shape of thumb, index, middle, or other fingers during each pinch. We describe those as principal type, hyperextension-flexion type, hyperextension type and other type into four. It should be justified to calculate the mean normal value of principal type pinching power in Korean. Principal type of pinch involves 1-2TP, 1-3TP, 1-2PP, 1-3PP, 3PP and KP, as to Hyperextension type of 1-2PP, 1-3PP, 3PP and KP. Other type of pinch involving 1-2TP, 1-3TP, 1-2PP, 1-3PP, 3PP and KP is different from Principal type simply because of the shape of nonjoining fingers during pinch. Generally, the pinching power of Principal type was clearly highest among the four types except for pulp pinches.
