1.Clinical Analysis of Bone and Joint Tuberculosis
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(1):41-45
Prevalent is the concept that tuberculosis has completely been put under control and the actual number of the patients is decreasing. This study has been undertaken in part to give substantial evidence to this general idea about the tuberculosis. Total 921 patients with skeletal tuberculous lesions, selected out of all the patients consulted to the department of orthopedic surgery during the 13 consecutive years from Jaunary of 1963 to December of 1975, were subjected to this analysis. 1. Overall incidence of patients with skeletal tuberculosis was 4.8% of all the patients visited during the 13 years. 2. Of 921 patients, males were 591 and females 330, which showed the men were affected 1.8 times more than women. 3. More than half of them (51,5%) occurred under the age of 19 years. 4. Three anatomical sites were predisposed to this affection; 58.5% in spine, 10.5% in hip, and 11.6% in knee. 5. With the above study it can be safely be said that the actual number and also the incidence of skeletal tuberculosis has not shown any trend of decline and accordingly its management should be more regulated and thorough.

Medial approach open reduction (MAOR) for congenital dislocation of the hip, as is well known, is the most anatomically direct approach to the major obstacle to reduction. For the study on this method of open reduction, the authors reviewed 15 children who underwent MAOR and followed up to at least 1 year after operation with an average of 3 years and 2 months. The results were as follows: 1. The age distributions of the 15 children were; 1 child in below 12 months of age, 10 in 13 to 18 months, and 4 in 19 to 24 months. 2. The acetabular index was high before operation with an average of 32.7° (25-43). This improved makedly in the follow-up period to an average of 20.6° (13-29) . 3. The average of acetabulum-head index was 70.6° and the average of CE angle was 19.7° in the follow-up. 4. The complications were 2 cases of avascular necrosis and 1 case of redislocation. No contracture of joint was observed. 5. For the residual dysplasia of acetabulum,innominate osteotomy of Salter was performed in 2 children and was scheduled in the other 5 children. 6. It can be stated that MAOR is a very safe, simple and effective method of open reduction.

We deacribe herein a case of Darier-White disease occurring to a 50-year-old man who had a characteristic lesions limited to the sun exposed area and no skin lesion in the sun protected area for 40 years. The akin lesions recurred in summer time and aggravated after sun exposure and disappeared spontaneously in winter time. Histologic findings from the neck lesions revealed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, supirabasal lacunae, acantholytic cells, villi, corps ronds and grains.

Calcaneus is very important in weight bearing and maintaining the normal contour of the foot. Many diseases can cause the cyst-like destructive changes of the calcaneus. In most cases, histological confirmation and bacteriological examination are necessary for the final diagnosis. In recent years, four cases of the cyst-like destructive lesions of the calcaneus were treated and had satisfactory results. They were confirmed with biopsy and bacterial culture as followings; acute osteomyelitis, chronic osteomyelitis, tuberculous osteomyelitis and simple bone cyst. Operations on the osteomyelitis were curettage with or without sequestrectomy and the simple bone cyst the curettage and bone graft. After operations, proper antibiotics and plaster immobilization followed routinely.

A fairly common cause of painful hips in children is the condition variousiy called transient synovitis, phantom hip, toxic synovitis, or transitory synovitis. Infection, trauma, or allergic conditions can be causes of them. The main symptom is most frequently pain of sudden onset in the region of the hip joint with a limp on the affected side. Limitation of motion, especially of abduction, internal rotation and extension seems to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The disease is of interest, not because it is a disabling condition, but because of the difficulty in differentiating it from more serious diseases of the hip, such as tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, or Legg-Perthe's disease. Fifty seven cases of the transient synovitis of the hips were treated and reported on their clinical states and results as follows; 1. The diagnostic criterias were pain, limping, limitation of motion, W.B.C. count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and radiological findings. 2. The treatment was conservative including bed rest, skin traction on the affected leg, non weight-bearing, antibiotics and sedatives. 3. 78.9% of the patients had improved symptoms and signs within three weeks of treatment. 4. Seven hips subsequently developed rheumatoid arthritis (3 cases), slipped upper femoral epiphysis (1 case), pyogenic arthritis (1 case), osteoarthritis (1 case) and snapping hip (1 case).

BCG osteomyelitis occurs in the infants and children as complication of BCG vaccination and its occurrence is very rare. It involves the metaphysis of the long bone and its development is chiefly hematogenous spread and direct inoculation. Radiologic feature shows well demarcated, eccentrically located destruction in the metaphysis of the long bone and soft tissue swelling about the lesion but periosteal reaction was absent initially. We experienced a case of BCG osteomyelitis which occurs in the left proximal humerus in 3 month after BCG vaccination.
