A case of soft tissue liposarcoma developed on the calf region of right lower leg is reported. The case was a 2 year-old girl who complained marked swelling, pain and tenderness over the posterior aspect of the right leg for 4 months. Roentgenological study revealed marked enlargement of the soft tissue in calf region with marked periosteal elevation and pressure erosion of tibia and fibula. Above knee amputation of the affected leg was performed. The mass measured 10 cm. × 9 cm. in size and cut surface appeared to be white gray colored and central necrosis which was surrounded with fatty tissue. The diagnosis was confirmed as soft tissue liposarcoma (Pleomorphic type) by microscopic examination.

Recently the treatment of femoral neck fractures has advanced, and results are generally satisfactory. In some cases however, their prognosis relatively unsatisfactory, for instance, nonunion or malunion cases are frequently encountered, because inadequate treatment is given by non-qualified paramedical personnel or general practitioners. This is a report of two cases of neglected fracture of the femoral neck. The first case was a 57 year old female who complained of painful limitation of motion of the left hip for 33 months. Roentgenological examination revealed a fracture of the femoral neck with severe neck absorption upward lateral displacement of the upper end of femur with generally osteoporotic changes. For treatment of this neglected femoral neck fracture, Colonna reconstruction was performed. The second case was a 19 year old female who complained of painful limited motion of the right hip joint for 5 months. Roentgenological examination revealed a fracture of the femoral neck with no absorption of the femoral neck, there was, however, slight sclerotic change in the head of the femur In this case, Open osteosynthesis was performed. A bleeding from the proximaI fragment was seen after curettage of the fracture surface at the time of operation. Post-operative results were relatively good in both cases.

Total hip replacement, with a prosthesis replacing both the acetabular socket and the femoral head, has been developed during the last decade and is now being used extensively. Its major advantage is rapid rehabilitation of the patient, particularly when both the femorsl head and the acetabulum are diseased. Nine Cases of total hip replacements were performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital from January 1972 to March 1976. Although the follow-up (range 4 months to 3 years) in the majority is too short to permit a complete assessment of the results, in our series, most patients presented for surgical treatment for the relief a pain and mobility has been complete.
