Zielke introduced new anterior instrumentation by modifying Dwyer system and called it the ventral derotation spondylodesis(VDS) system in 1976. This system is a powerful device and when the excised disc spaces are compressed with it, stable fixation can be obtained. But proper patient selection, meticulous operative technique and good post-operative care are essential to minimize serious complications. No results of this technique had been published in English-language literature until Moe reported the results of 66 cases of Zielke instrumentation in 1983. Zielke instrumentation was carried out in 12 cases of scoliosis;8 in idiopathic scoliosis and 4 in congenital scoliosis, at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, for 16 months from November 1984 to March 1986. Seven cases had been followed for more then 9 months and'following results were obtained. 1. Numbers of vertebrae involved in major curve and numbers of fused vertebrae were 6·3 respectively. 2. Average preoperative curve was 72.7 degrees and immediate postoperative curve was 17.6 degrees with 75.8% correction. There was only 1.0 degree loss of correction with an average follow-up of 14 months (9-16 months). 3. Zielke instrumentation has the advantage of shorter fusion and better correction in thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis.

The microform cleft lip is the mildest expression of cleft lip and nose deformity, but it has no specific definition, classification, and few methods have been reported for its correction. It is characterized by deformity of the nostril, skin striae of the upper lip, notching of peaked Cupid's bow, deformity of the vermilion, and anomaly of the upper lateral incisior and alveolar ridge on the affected region. Sixty-three microform cleft lip patients were operated on between Dec. 1993 and Sep. 1998 in our department(29 males and 34 females). The age of the patients ranged from 5 months to 30 years(Mean 9 years). We classified and treated the microform cleft lip as follows: Class I: Cleft lip nose with very slight lip deformity Class II: Minimal lip deformity without vermilion notching Class III: Mild lip deformity with slight vermilion notching. The goals in the correction of a microform cleft lip are to obtain an esthetically pleasing upper lip and nose, and to reestablish muscle continuity for improved function. To attain these goals, we used the above classification and satisfactory results were obtained by treating the microform cleft according to the classification.

10 cases of tuberculosis of the greater trochanter of the femur were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. 1964 to Jun. 1971 with following results; 1) Duration of onset was more than 2 years in 7 cases and tuberculous foci of other organ were noted in 4 cases. 2) Bony destruction on the greater trochanter was observed in all cases and marked synovial thickening was combined in 4 cases. 3) Radical curettage or resection of bony focus of the greater trochanter were carried out in all cases with excellent result except 1 case in which reoperation was necessary 4 years later.
