We assessed the accuracy of clinical evaluation, arthrography and arthroscopy in the diagnosis of meniscal lesions in ninty knees in which arthrotomy was performed for disabling symptoms after evaluation by these three methods. At surgery, ninty-two menisci were removed, of which seventy-two were abnormal and twenty were normal. In these ninty-two menisci, correct diagnostic rate was made clinically 78%, arthrographically 70% and arthroscopically 86%. Arthrographic diagnosis was least accurate for lesions of the lateral meniscus and arthroscopic diagnosis was least accurate for lesions of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and peripheral lesions. Based on this study, it was concluded that both the arthrography and arthroscopy are valuable technique for diagnosis of meniscal lesions.

Synovial chondromatosis is a condition of metaplastic and focal formation of cartillage in the intimal layer of synovial membrane. The etiology is unknown. The cartilagenous foci become pedunculated and may be sequestrated into the synovial cavity to form loose body. The center of focus may calcify and ossify. Of the ten cases of synovial chondromatosis experiences by the authors, five cases invo1ved the knee joint, one case both knee joint, two cases the hip joint, two cases the elbow joint, one case the wrist joint. The diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis was made by the histopathological finding of the excised masses.

The goal of fracture treatment is to restore the patient to pre-injury function level. But the outcome assessment after orthopedic interventions has usually focused on physician-defined parameters of technical success, such as fracture union, alignment and range of motion rather than patient function and quality of life. However, the correlation among improvements in these parameters and functional status, psychosocial well being is inconsistent and weak in the elderly. Therefore authors assessed the functional status after surgical intervention of hip fractures in the elderly with functional recovery score(FRS). Independence in basic activities of daily living, in instrumental activities of daily living, in mobility, freedom from pain and intact memory were assessed in 133 hip fractures in the elderly. The hip fractures in the elderly resulted in 24.8% loss of function after the first year. The older the age, the more the loss of function after surgery of hip fractures. The more functional loss was observed in female patients and in patients with poor postoperative radiological results, but statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The more functional loss was observed in patients with underlying medical disease preoperatively and it was statistically significant (P<0.05). We recommend the evaluation of functional status in the elderly after hip fractures.

Dislocation of the clavicle at its sternal end is relatively rare, as compared with acromioclavicular dislocation. Among them, the posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint was extremely rare. So, not more than fifty cases had been reported in the literature. Of these three main typesanterior, superior, and posterior-the anterior one is by far the most common. Most authors have stressed the difficulty in confirming the diagnosis with routine radiographs. We experienced a case of traumatic posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint treated successfully by manipulative reduction. So, we report it with review of literature.

Osteopetrosis is a very rare bone dysplasia characterized by failure of resorption and persistence of calcified chondroid and primitive bone. In 1904 Albers-Schonberg first described the radiological appearance of marble bone. This is named osteopetrosis by Karshner in 1926. A fulminating form is manifested from birth in which fractures and deformity, hydrocephalus and cranial nerve palsies lead to early death from intractable anemia and intercurrent infection. In other cases the stigmata are delayed until later childhood, when retardation of growth and of mental and sexual development occurs, and not infrequently accompanied by rickets, dental caries and osteomyelitis. We have experienced a familial osteopetrosis, father and three siblings, which was thought to be a autosomal dominant inheritance. One of those family, 20 years old man, has been complained of anemia and low back pain without radiating pain to the lower extremities. The other 3 patients has not been complained of any other clinical symptoms. But X-Ray examination of the entire skeletal survey of those members of the family have revealed the uniform opacity of long bones and flat bones.

A 46-year-old male patient developed jaundice after 23 days' treatment of propylthiouracil (PTU) for Graves' disease. Serum alkaline phosphatase was elevated markedly with moderate increase in serum aminotransferase, and the peak level of total bilirubin was 7.3 mg/dL. After withdrawal of PTU, serum aminotransferase and bilirubin began to decrease simultaneously, and completely normalized. One week after the discharge from hospital, he received radioiodine treatment for Graves' disease, but he showed aggravation of hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy. So we prescribed methimazole inevitably 16 days' after the radiodiodine treatment. He developed jaundice again after 69 days' treatment of methimazole, but the pattern of hepatotoxicity was slightly different from that of the previous PTU-nduced hepatotoxicity. Serum aminotransferase increased slightly and quickly normalized after discontinuance of methimazole, but serum total bilirubin increased continuously and reached to 24.6 mg/dL. Eosinophilia was prominent and the result of liver biopsy was compatible with cholestatic jaundice. The patient was treated with prednisolone and recovered from jaundice rapidly.

9.Factors Associated with Korean Version of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (K-IADL) in a Community Dwelling Elderly Population.
Journal of the Korean Neurological Association 2005;23(1):15-20
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of dementia is dependent on the decline of cognitive and functional ability. To measure the functional ability, a Korean version of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (K-IADL) was developed and validated. However, the characteristics of the instrument were not fully evaluated. The study was conducted for the purpose of investigating which of the variables were associated with the K-IADL scores. METHODS: The study group from Namwon, Korea, consisting of 235 participants aged 65 years and over, was given the K-IADL to evaluate the functional ability of the participants. The independent variables included sociodemographic data (age, sex, education), vascular factors (blood pressure [BP], history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol intake, and heart rate), and anthropometric measurements (height and arm length). RESULTS: Age, female gender, low educational attainment, high systolic BP, shorter height and arm length were significantly associated with higher K-IADL scores in univariate analyses. Among the results, age, education, systolic BP, and arm length showed independent associations with the K-IADL in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The K-IADL was not influenced by gender in adjusted regression analyses, however education and arm length affected the functional scores, which could suggest a possibility of functional reserve. Also, it was suggested that vascular risk factors could be associated with functional ability.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of Cutaneous malignant tumors has increased recently and they have varied in their developing patterns according to social and environmental influences. However, we have little clinical data about the cutaneous malignant tumors in the Chonnam provinee. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to analyze the clinical characteristics of cutaneous malignant tumors observed in the Chonnam province and to compare them with the data previously reported in Korea. METHOD: We clinically analyzed 427 cases of cutaneous malignant tumors during a 10 year period betwecn January 1987 and Oetober 1996, at the Department of Dermatology, Chonnam Univemity Hospital in Kwangju. RESULTS: 1. The average armual incidence of cutaneous malignant tumors among the total number of outpatients was 1.00+/- 0.25%. The incidence tended to increase with time from 0.90+/-0.29% in the first 5 year-period to 1.15+/-0.09% in the late 5 year-period. The increasing rate was most pronmient in basal cell carcinoma. 2. The most common tumor in the 427 patients with malignant tumor was basal cell carcinoma (52.5%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (19.9%), malignant melanoma (13.3%), metastatic carcinoma (3.7%), malignant lymphoma (2.3%). 3. The mean age of onset was 60.7+/-16.0 years old (male; 59.6+/-15.0, female; 61.9+/-17.1) in the in the group as a whole; 63.9 in BCC, 63.3 in SCC and 55.8 in malignant melanoma. The ratio of men to women was 1.14:l. 4. The most common site of a11 malignant tumors was the head and neck (64.6%), where 89.3% of BCC, 58.8% of SCC, and 15.8% of malignant melanoma developed. The next common site was the lower exlremities and feet (15.7%) followed by the trunk (7,7%), and upper extremities and hands (7.3%).
