Congenital tuberculosis is an infection that is established in the fetus by hematogenous spread or by the aspiration or inhalation of infected amniotic fluid either before or during labor. The diagnosis can be confirmed only if both the tuberculous nature of the lesion and the antenatal origin of the infection can be proved. The authors analysed roentgen findings of two cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, thought to be congenital; 1. Diffuse distribution of nodular densities and some confluent densities were seen in the entire lungs in the inital film.The pulmonary markings were decreased in some degree. 2. Air bronchogram was noted. 3. Hepatosplenomegaly was associated.

Spinal fusion has performed for instability and anatomical reconstruction since 1985 by Barthe. Bone grafts and synthetic materials has been used for spinal fusion, but they have several limitations and complications. Recently a new synthetic polymer B.O.P.(Biocompatible Osteoconductive Polymer) was developed and it overcome the limitations of other materials. The B.O.P. showed no foreign body reaction and gave scaffolding for the osteoconduction and osteointegration. Authors operated 35 cases of spinal fusion with B.O.P. and the results and literature reviews were discussed.

Anterior interbody fusion has used for instability and anatomical reconstruction in various cervical diseases since 1958 by cloward. Bone grafts such as autograft, allograft, xenograft and synthetic materials were utilized in fusion as a graft material. But conventional fusion materials have problems including postoperative morbidity, transmission of diseases, foreign body reaction, collapse, prolongation of operation time. A new synthetic material, Biocompatible Osteoconductive Polymer(B.O.P) is developed and it was useful for cervical anterior interbody fusion as a substitute for other fusion materials.

In the unusual manifestation of right upper lobe collapse confusing with mediastinal or parenchymal mass, both alteration of the pulmonary vessels and shifting pattern of the collapsed lobe to the periphery on supine positionare the key to the diagnosis of it rather than mediastinal or parenchymal mass. The mechanisms of these unusual manifestation s are obscure, however lobar torsion and gravity factor are considered to be a main process. Authors have experienced 2 cases of unusual manifestations of right upper lobe collapse due to bronchogenic carcinomaduring resent 2 years in Kyung Hee University hospital, and prsent radiologic findings.

This paper is aimed to study the incidence, age and sex distribution, and type of lateral meniscal lesion including discoid meniscus in Korea. It is reported higher incidence of lateral meniscal lesion in Korea. 132 cases with meniscal lesions were surgically treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital between 1973 and 1982. Of the 98 patients who had lateral meniscal lesions, forty-four (44.9%) were found to have a discoid meniscus. The mean age of the patients with discoid meniscus was 17.9 years, and 30 patients of them were younger than 20 years of age. The patients with discoid meniscus were followed after meniscectomy for an average of 6 months. The summary of this study are as follows: l. Over-all incidence of discoid meniscus were 44 cases (33.3%) out of 132 cases of the meniscal disease. All forty-four cases had a lateral discoid meniscus, and they formed 44.9% among 98 cases of lateral meniscal injury. 2. The discoid meniscus was most frequent in the age group between 11 and 20 years old (65.9%), and was more prevalent in female by a ratio of 1.4. 3. Qf the 26 patients with torn discoid meniscus, twelve (46.2%) denied the history of trauma. 4. Symptom of click sound was present in 42 cases (95.5%), and the rate of positive McMurray sign was 81.8%.

One may sometimes complicated with non-union of the tibia with intact fibula or comparatively early united fibular fracture during the cause of treatment of crural fractures. So that the fibula is to strut the tibial fragment preventing effective contact. Several authors have sporadically reported the removal of a portion of fibula may increase potential compression force across the tibial fracture site and promote bony union of non-delayed union of the tibia. Partial fibulectomy was performed in 9 patients with established nonunion of the tibia at National Medical Center from 1975 to 1982. The results were as follows: 1. Healing occurred in 8 of the 9 cases, and average time to union was 7.4months after fibulectomy. 2. In one case performed B-K amputation due to intractable infection after partial fibulectomy. 3. The average shortening of the involved lower limb was about 1.9cm. 4. All cases did not have significant symptoms at the fibulectomy site after union. 5. Partial fibulectomy proved to be a relatively effective method for the treatment of nonunion of the tibia.
