Recently there has been remarkable improvement in the treatment of chondrosarcoma, accompanied with the development of diagnostic tools, operative technique, replacement materials and designs, anticancer-chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In well-deferentiated chondrosarcom, wide excision is the only treatment required. Nevertheless, in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, anticancerchemotherapy or radiotherapy is usually recommended after the wide excision. From 1984 to 1994, 22 patients diagnosed as chondrosarcoma had been treated at Seoul National University Hospital. We analysed anatomic distributions, size, methods of treatment and their results. The avereage age was 38 years and 10 months(15 years 73 years) and the average follow-up period was 3 years and 10 months(1 year and 6 months

Simple bone cyst was first described by Virchow over a century ago and has been the subject of numerous articles. Nevertheless considerable confusion still exists regarding its etiology. clinical behavior and optimal management. Eighteen cases of pathologically proven simple bone cyst were treated in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital during the thirteen year period from June 1966 to May 1979, and following results were obtained. 1. Age distributions were between five and forty-three years (Average ; seventeen years), and 72.2% (thirteen cases) were during first two decades of life. 2. Male to female ratio was 2.6 to 1 3. The most frequently involved location was proximal humerus followed by proximal femur. 4. Pathologic fracture, pain, incidental roentgenography and swelling were the first clues of diagnosis in our series. 5. In twelve cases curettage and fresh autogenous iliac bone graft was performed and good results were obtained in all of them. Of five cases only curettage had been done, no case recurred, another case showed residual cystic area, and the rest healed without further event. In one case with huge cyst curettage, iliac and fibular bone graft and bone cementing was performed with satisfactory result. 6. Bone shortening was noticed in two cases of active bone cysts in proximal humerus 2cm and 3cm, respectively.

Although osteltis fibrosa cystica was the clinical manifestation originally recognized as a feature of the primary hyperparathyroidism, its frequency in diagnosed cases currently has decreased. Affected patients are now being detected in earlier stages of the disease. We have experienced a case of primary hyperparathyroldism with the typical bony changes and the pathologic, subtrochanteric fracture of left femur. We have treated the fracture with Zickel nalling and parathyroidectomy was performed. Four months after the removal of parathyoid adenoma the fractured femur healed well.

After the introduction of the central parenchymal pedicle by Hester(1985) and the round-block technique by Benelli (1988), several variations of periareolar reduction mammoplasty have been used by many authors. Periareolar reduction mammoplasty is a less aggressive procedure than traditional techniques and it produces less conspicuous periareolar scars while maintaining an acceptable overall result. We experienced 120 cases (60 patients) of periareolar reduction mammoplasty during the period from May 1994 to February 1998. We present the analysis of 60 cases of periareolar reduction mammoplasty. Periareolar reduction mammoplasty utilizing central parenchymal pedicle was performed in the first 40 patients, while a procedure utilizing the inferior dermal pedicle was done in the next 20 cases consecutively. The range of follow-up was from 1 to 5 years. Complications such as nipple areolar complex necrosis and sensory changes were reduced when the inferior dermal pedicle used. There were 5 cases of nipple areolar complex necrosis and sensory changes were reduced when the inferior dermal pedicle used. There were 5 cases of nipple areolar complex necrosis (6.2%), including 1 case of near total necrosis in cases utilizing the central parenchymal pedicle. But in the technique using inferior dermal pedicle, there was no skin flap necrosis. The central parenchymal pedicle technique has several advantages such as a wide operation field permitting complete breast contouring and better mobility of the remaining breast tissue. However, inferior dermal pedicle technique has relative superiority over central parenchymal pedicle technique in terms of anatomical rationale, as well as in the rate of complications without causing limitations in breast mobility for contouring. Such complications as nipple areolar complex necrosis, skin flap necrosis and sensory change of nipple were reduced when the inferior dermal pedicle technique was used. It is much easier to preserve the 4th intercostal nerve to the nipple anatomically. Periareolar reduction mammoplasty utilizing the inferior dermal pedicle is thought to be a reliable, reproducible method.

Limb salvage operation in primary malignant bone tumors is increasing recently, according to the improvement of diagnostic methods, surgical technique and adjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to obtain the interim results of survival rate and the functional grade of the limb in primary malignant bone tumors treated by limb salvage operation. Between 1985 to 1993, 63 primary malignant bone tumors treated by limb salvage operations. Tumor prosthesis arthroplasty was performed in 49 patients, resection arthrodesis in 9 patients, and IM nailing with cement molding in 5 patients. Autoclave autograft was combined in 2 patients. Adjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative radiotherapy were performed in selected patients. The average follow-up period was 50 months(ranged 12 months to 116 months). In the cases of osteosarcoma, estimated survival rate was 61.9% based on Kaplan-Meier survival plot. In the parosteal sarcoma, the survival rate was 87.5% and 80% in chondrosarcoma patients. According to functional grading by Enneking, 66% was excellent, 20% was good, 11% was fair and one patients was poor. Complications occurred in 16 patients:wound infection was developed in 6 patients, local recurrence in 4, peroneal nerve palsy in 2 patients and femoral stem loosening in 2 patients. Fracture in resection arthrodesis and pulmonary metastasis were also occurred. Reoperation was performed in 10 patients at average 31 months after initial operation. Revision tumor persthesis arthroplasty was performed in one patient due to local recurrence and in 2 patients due to femoral stem loosening. Three amputations were done due to recurrence of tumor. IM nailing with cement molding was performed in one patient due to deep infection and repeated arthrodesis was done in a fracture patients. Scheduled custom-made tumor prosthesis arthroplasty was performed within a year in 2 patients treated with IM nailing with cement molding. In conclusion, with the careful preoperative assessment, adjuvant chemotherapy and skillful surgical technique, limb salvage operation would provide the primary malignant bone tumor patients for longer survival and better quality of life.
