A girl aged 18 years and 1 month, had a Angle's Class Iff malocclusion, characterized by anterior crossbite, anterior crowding, and constriction from right lower 2nd p emolar to right lower 2nd molar This ~i5 5s patient underwent scaling and 84148 extraction, and multibanded system was placed. After 14 months, anterior crossbite and crowding was corrected, andbothdental arches were improved. After 6 months from debanding, band space disappeared, and any relapse was not detected.

Fractures of the proximal humerus in children are rare and according to Neer and Horwitz, fractures of the proximal humeral epiphysis constitute 3% of all epiphyseal injury. The most frequently reported complications are humeral shortening, varus angulation, and neurovascular complications. Closed anatomic reduction in frscture of the proximsl humerus is very difficult, so reported modes of treatment have ranged from aggressive attempts at reduction to simple neglect. Twenty nine fractures of the proximal humerus in children which were treated at Seve- rance Hospital, Yonsei University, College of Medicine from July 1982 to December 1986 were snalyzed both clinically and radiologically and the following results were obtained. 1. The age of the patients in this series ranged from 3 years to 18 years and the most frequently between the age of 12 years to maturity. And the oldest age was 18 years in male and 17 years in female. 2. Among the 29 frsctures, 21 cases were involving the proximal humeral epiphysis and all the injuries were Salter-Harris type Il epiphyse14 fracture. And 8 cases were fracture through the proximal humeral metaphysis not involving epiphysis. 3. Sixteen cases(55%) hsd associated injuries and the common associated injuries were fracture of the lower extremity, and fracture of same upper extremity were 5 cases(17%). 4. The fracture were graded according to their initial displacement(Neer snd Horwitz) and grade I, 6 cases, grade II, 3 csses, grade , 5 cases and grade IV were 15 cases. 5. Eight cases of grade I and II fractures were treated by simple immobilization. And among the twenty cases of grade III and 1V fractures, 12 cases were trested by closed reduction and immobilization and 9 cases, by open reduction. 6. Regardless of displacement of fractures and modes of treatment, all cases were united between six weeks to twelve weeks with full range of motion and no pain. 7. There were two cases of K-wire loosening, two cases of transient nerve palsy and one case of varus angulation.

The goals of treatment of the slipped capital femoral eiphysis(SCFE) are to stabilize the slipped epiphysis, prevent further slipping and induce early closure of the epiphyseal plate. Mutiple pinning was used for the treatment but in recent years, percutaneous in-situ fixation technique with 1 or 2 cannulated screws is preferred due to the advantages of low rate of complication such as pin penetration. We report the results of experimental study and the functional results after percutaneous pinning. The purpose of the experimental study was the investigation for changes of the screw length and the site of screw entry point according to the degree of slipping by bony model. The entry point of the screw was changed toward anterior and proximal portion of femoral neck and the length of inserting screw was changed to be shorter according to the degree of slip. We have treated 10 patients(13 hips) with slipped capital femoral epiphysis(SCFE) at our department since Jan. 1989. Among them, 6 patients(7 hips) could be followed for more than 2 years. There were 5 boys and 1 girl. One case was affected on the both hip. The average age at operation was 11.8 year old. All cases were obese. Degree of slipping was showed 6 cases in mild and 1 case in moderate. The slipping of acute onset was 3 cases, acute-on chronic 3 cases and chronic 1 case. In radiographic results, 6 cases were showing in Grade 0, 1 case was in Grade II. In functional results, 3 cases were excellent, 3 cases in good and 1 case in poor. One poor functional result was a case complicated by chondrolysis.
