A survey of the literature on the treatment of ruptures of deltoid ligament associated with fracture of distal part of fibula is controversial. Some authors advocated surgical repair of the ruptured deltoid ligament based on the theoretical consideration, while others advocated non-operative treatment based on the clinical consideration. We studied the results in forty-five patients who were treated for disruption of the deltoid ligament and a distal fibular fracture. The length of follow-up in our series was twelve to twenty-four months, with an average of fifteen months. When the fibular fracture was adequately reduced and medial clear space was returned to its normal width, the 91 percents both of patients of being treated with repair of deltoid ligament and patients of being treated without repair had a good or excellent results.

The ankle is a complex structure supporting the entire musculoskeletal system during standing and walking. The injuries to the ankle joint result in a severe functional disturbance because of complex anatomical characteristics around the ankle joint. 284 patients of the ankle fracture that were treated in orthopedic Dept. Capital Armed Forced General Hospital from march 1985. to march 1988. were analized in clinical and radiological aspects. The following results were obtained: 1. The main cause of the injuries was falling from a height and the other were sports injury and slipping down in order. 2. The most common type by Lauge-Hansen classification was supination-external rotation type(122 case, 42.9%). 3. 211 case(74.3%) were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, and 73 case(25.7%) were treated with closed reduction. Poor outcome seemed closely related to the severity of the injury and degree of fracture displacement. 4. Accurate reduction and rigid internal fixation of the lateral malleolus with shortening was important factor. 5. Classification of Lauge-Hansen was useful in the diagnosis and treatment of the ankle fractures.

PURPOSE: We investigated the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) in benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) more than 60cc by single surgeon for the relief of infravesical obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 211 patients treated with TURP in BPH with large prostate by single surgeon. Each group was divided by prostate volume(group 1; 60-69.9, group 2; 70-79.9, group 3; 80-89.9, group 4; 90-99.9, group 5; >100cc of prostate volume). Various parameters such as International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS), maximal flow rate(Qmax.), postvoid residual volume(PVR), prostate volume, adenoma volume, resection time, resection prostate volume, irrigation fluid volume and complications were evaluated and compared. RESULTS: Age of each group was not significantly different. Prostate volume, adenoma volume, resection time, Resection volume, irrigation volume of each groups were different significantly. But, resection volume/resection time and irrigation volume/resection time were not different significantly. Mean resection volume/resection time was 1.34g/min, and mean irrigation volume/resection time was 315.8ml/min. And intraoperative and postoperative complications of each group were not different. Mean postoperative change of Hb was 2.0+/-1.1g/dl. Postoperative parameters(IPSS, Qmax, PVR) were improved significantly. Only 2 patients needed transfusion in group 5. No urinary incontinence and TUR syndrome in each group was observed. CONCLUSIONS: TURP by experienced surgeon is a safe and effective treatment in BPH patients with large prostates for relief of infravesical obstruction.
